You go to the edges of that horizon And you cross that line of the horizon. That's the moment that life gets really interesting.
Yes. Yeah, I agree. I think just a lot of people that don't have experience challenging themselves, they get fearful. They get fearful. They anticipate things. They get anxiety. And they just never learned how to challenge themselves. That's the problem. They never walked out on the end of the pier. so to speak. They never push themselves. And because of that, they're terrified of it.
But you need little baby steps. Do something you've never done before. Go take a yoga class. Go learn how to speak Spanish. Go do something. Do something different. And then try to do something else different. Try to add a little bit. Don't just go right into doing a triathlon. Do something that just makes you a little nervous. And then try to build on that. But do it intentionally.
That's my advice.
But remember that this is a reason why people sometimes they are so scared of the world. Because actually the world is a scary place. It certainly can be. I think the world is a wonderful place. But for centuries, for thousands of years, humans, planet Earth is beautiful. But the world is full of dangers. Yes. You just get lost in a forest. Without anybody, without anything, even without a knife.
And things are going to happen. A scuba dive in the waters, in the dark ocean. Dangerous. There are things moving in the water. Things are complicated. If you are trying to feed yourself, is this mushroom poisonous or not? You know, to be a human. Yeah, I'll get coffee. To be a human for centuries, for thousands of years, was a dangerous place.
So I'm only saying that this is part of the DNA, that is part of who we are as humans, that we want to be in a place we feel protected. And equally, we want to protect our loved ones.
Yes.
So it's just a human... Natural response through the evolution of humanity for thousands of years.
That is true. But also, to the contrary, when you take risks and then you get rewards from those risks, you then start getting very excited about taking risks. You get excited about adventure. You get excited about doing things where you're not certain how it's going to turn out. Like you opening up the new Bazaar Meats at the Venetian. Who knows? Who knows? I think it's going to be great.
But who knows? Like new things, new challenges. New challenges are exciting.
But that's why humans, even sometimes we feel we want to be alone in a cave. That's what you were saying before.
On the top of a mountain right before I came in. You were saying that you want to open up a restaurant where only four people can go. You have to get to the top of the mountain. And you have to walk. 20 miles.
Yeah. And if you get there and the four seats are taken, you have to wait. You have to camp until next day. That's it.
Yeah. Yeah. And no bottles of oxygen and all that crap that people that go to the Everest do.
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Yeah, I don't get it.
I don't get it. Yeah. Big line of people waiting to say, I got to the top.
Yeah, I go to the top and they had 10 guys carrying their belongings, the Sherpas and their oxygen bottles. It's like, actually, if I was any of the countries that controls the access to all those amazing mountains, all the top, the 8K, the Aconcagua and the Everest, all the big peaks, I would make it mandatory that you have to go on your own.
You could argue that, okay, but then scuba diving, you are using air. Why is scuba diving? That's different. Okay, but I want to be fair. It will be an argument. Jose, you like scuba diving. You can go down into the ocean and you can bring air, but I'm going to the Everest and I cannot bring air. But I take my bottle with me. I don't litter the bottom of the ocean as I scuba dive.
