#895 - Piers Morgan - Trump, Elon Musk & The Future Of The West

And I worked there for five years when The Sun was selling like four or five million copies. And he used to rampage around from morning, noon, and night. It was a terrifying spectacle. But it was a paper cracker with great energy. It was the days when papers were very, very important. And I remember he said, you know the most annoying thing about you, Morgan?

And I've always tried to be like that. I just think there's such wasted energy to wallow in misery or negativity or something that's bad that's happened to you. I've always celebrated. I mean, Mars, the confectioners, used to apparently celebrate

So I think that's a really powerful way to look at it. Think about all the bad, however old you are, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, carry on.

If you're terminally ill, that's bad. But after that,

What's stopping you bouncing back other than yourself? So it's entirely down to you. Just take my advice. Count to 10. Then go out with your mates. Get blind drunk. Turn your phone off. Go on holiday. Whenever a friend of mine loses a high-profile job, and it happens a lot in the media, I always say the same thing. I say, turn your phone off and piss off for three or four months.
