Let's do this last tweet. You said don't partner with cynics and pessimists their beliefs are self fulfilling.

Yeah, essentially to create things you have to be a rational optimist, rational in the sense that you have to

see the world for what it really is and yet you have to be optimistic about your own capabilities and your

capability to get things done. We all know people who are consistently pessimistic who will shoot down

everything. Everyone in their life has like the helpful critical guy, right? He thinks he's being

helpful, but he's actually being critical and he's a downer on everything. That person will not

it, at least do the first step and the second step and the third and then decide. So if you want to be

successful in life creating wealth or having good relationships or being fit or even being happy,

you need to have an action bias towards getting what you want and you have to be optimistic about it.

pitfalls, know the downsides but still keep your chin up. I mean, you've got one life on this planet.

Why not try to build something big? This is the beauty of Elon Musk and why I think he inspires so

many people. It's just because he takes on really, really big audacious tasks and he provides an

example for people to think big and it takes a lot of work to build even small things. I don't think
