#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

But because we are bombarded with all kinds of information that is not really important for us in terms of becoming successful, we often forget the important things.

Lex Fridman Podcast

And this is one of them.

Lex Fridman Podcast

Let's say on a daily, on a weekly basis.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

I do 300 push-ups and 300 squats every morning.

And in addition to that, I go to the gym normally five, six times a week, spending between one and two hours every day.

Lex Fridman Podcast

So push-ups and squats are still a big part of your routine.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

Yes, this is how I start my day.

I'm not sure they do a lot in terms of changing your body, but they're definitely a good way to practice self-discipline.

Lex Fridman Podcast

Because you don't want to do these push-ups in the morning most of the days.

Squats are particularly boring.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

They're not that hard.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

They're just boring.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

But you overcome it.

And then it's much easier to start doing other things

Lex Fridman Podcast

related to your work, for example.

Lex Fridman Podcast

When I can, I also take a nice bath, because it's another exercise of self-discipline.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

I think the main muscle you can exercise is this muscle, the muscle of self-discipline.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

Not your biceps or your pecs or anything else.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

Because if you get to train that one, everything else...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

It just comes by itself.
