If it were, I'd be done. Yet, work as hard as you can because it does work magic. (Pardon me, the best answers to life's questions are paradoxes.)

My take on Thomas Edison taking 9,999 tries to understand the light bulb. Must have been tough, I understand. I have big respect for his consistency and perseverance. But let's talk about something else.

Stop letting opportunity slip through your fingers. This episode covers the regret optimisation principle—a mindset shift to prioritise action over inaction. We reveal why obsession, not discipline, is the real secret to focus (and why tunnel vision is your friend). You'll also hear why courage separates people with identical skills, why calm is the ultimate survival trait, and why trust in God anchors everything. Plus: three principles for dealing with people—no criticism, sincere appreciation, and arousing eager wants.

Take notes.

We talk a lot about hard work, but what if you can be very hardworking and still not ambitious, still not fruitful?

This is a slow conversation on suffering and the soul, on why we can't master what we won't practice, and on choosing fruitfulness over mere busyness.

I sat on six ideas that have been shaping me lately:

• On being very hardworking, but not ambitious.
• On suffering, not letting it touch our soul, and protecting our inner life when life gets hard.
• On mastery.
• On passion and interest, and not letting them limit what work we can endeavour.
• On not being foolish.
• On constant dedication to fruitfulness.

I always say to myself and tell other people that they should be ambitious. You need to know what you want and actually want it. And at some point, if you are applying the right principles and doing the right things, there's a threshold where it becomes an injustice if you don't get what you want. (For some reason, I didn't say it that way.)

It's often said that the next year, 3 years, 5 years will be the judge of current decisions. Are we currently making the right decisions? Time will tell.
