For the bullshit. I always say, to make this understandable for people, I put this out on Twitter a few times, X. I never met a wildly successful pessimist. And people will say, oh, what about short sellers? I was like, that person's optimistic. They're more optimistic than anybody.

They're going against the grain, and they're willing to risk everything with unlimited downside because they believe that they're right. That's pretty optimistic. Pessimism is somebody who thinks the deck is stacked against them, the system is rigged, all that crap. Please, some of that may be true from time to time, but at the end of the day, we all have the power to change our circumstances.

The reason I love why we're drilling down on this is I talk about this in this book, this one phrase to always anchor me to what I believe in and what I'm doing. Opportunity arrives before the tipping point of evidence. Right. And that's a simple way of saying like lightning and thunder. You know, you always see the flash of light first. That's the opportunity. It travels.

Light travels many times faster than the speed of sound. And evidence is thunder. It's unmistakable, but everybody hears it. If you want to be wildly successful, you first have to be an optimist or else you won't even believe you saw the light. You'll be like, ah, it's in my head. Then the ability to act on it is the thing that sets winners apart.

Back to your point about belief, it's why burn the boats is so important because the time to burn the boats is when the opportunity arrives before the tipping point of evidence. When you burn the boats, when everybody knows about it, it's like... Well, it's, you know, it's too late.

You know, that being said, if you're an innovative and dynamic and optimistic person, when you think it's too late, it's still okay. Like we were just talking about Bitcoin, having a fun conversation. Like it's not too late at all. It's actually quite early.
