Appearances
Yeah.
People telling stories that may or may not be true.
Yeah.
Just believing a story that is partly a story.
100%.
People sometimes think like, man, look at all the bad stuff that happens in society.
People must be bad.
I'm like, look at all the bad stuff that doesn't happen.
I think people are better than we think they are.
I think of all the chaos that could happen that just doesn't because we all just choose to agree to kind of roughly follow the rules.
I don't know.
I totally agree with you.
Oh, that's brutal.
Because really the key decision that you make in that is to start to say no to things that you used to say yes to.
Yeah.
And if you're someone that is a pleaser or tries to control how other people think about you and tries to be liked, you're just going to say yes too much.
And every yes takes you away from the thing you actually should do.
And so the more you grow up and the more responsibility that you have, the more ruthless you have to be in terms of the things you say no to.
And saying no to things is honestly not that much fun.
I'd say the thing that, I don't need sympathy as a venture capitalist, but know that my job is just saying no to 98 things a week that I wish I could say.
