I want to remind everybody that we’re rather fortunate to be living here. Every day that we have, we could be doing something really remarkable. Take advantage of these opportunities to do good things in your life.

And talk about how that there is abundant opportunities in this world. But you cannot view opportunities in the short term.

I talk about how you can get rich and wealthy. Talk about the importance of thinking that it’s gonna take you several decades to actually get there. I also talk about that you have to make a lot of very small repeated decisions day in and day out.

And talk about the importance of standing on your own 2 feet and following what you want to pursue. Doesn’t matter how old you are really pursue that thing if you want to. Don’t rely on other people to make the decision for you.

I talk about how we should think about history and context behind the decisions that we make. There’s a lot of debate about whether we should acknowledge that history and contacts but it’s very important for us to understand where we’re going to go over the next few years. We need to understand the context in the institutions that shaped our decision making so that we can better understand the world going forward.

I get you to perform a thought experiment where are you think about how valuable information technology is to you and how valuable innovations within the social domain are to you. Hopefully this helps you to think about innovation in a little bit more of a healthier perspective.

I talk about what people actually truly mean when they say I’m too busy. I talk about two signs of what it means to be I’m too busy. One side is that you platelets are declining a particular activity, and the other side is communicating status in a environment that prioritizes Productivity.

I talk about the importance of just keep plugging along no matter what you’re doing. Everybody else is insecure and view themselves as a giant mess just like you do. I know that many of you don’t believe that but it’s absolutely true. We’re all messed up.

I talk about the importance of not giving up on yourself in a daily basis. I was in talk about how we need to have more of a long-term mindset and not to go too hard and too little and a daily basis.

I talk about the great resignation, which is the phenomenon where a large portion of the labor force has left the economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There is some interesting phenomenon that are occurring due to the great resignation, and I think ultimately in the long run it’s going to allow for increased opportunities and improved employee benefits.
