Who in here dealing with shit? Raise your hand. My life, I just call it noise. All the stuff. Most people use it as an excuse to not do things. You're in a Yankees hat. What if the Yankees were like, you know what, life is hard today. We're going to— we're just going to go home. We're just— we don't feel like swinging or pitching today. People would be outraged. So our expectations of others are to ignore the noise and service me. Fair? You go to a restaurant, they mess up your steak. Do you ever go like, what if the chef in the back just is dealing with family issues and he's having a bad day? You ain't willing to do that for other people, but we want the entire world to do it for us. Careful. You just gotta unfortunately learn to suck it up, you know. Life ain't gonna stop. And do you think successful people don't have stuff to deal with? They just get through it.
