@Brad Smith If Musk gets to mars he'll be unhappy that he didn't make it to Pluto, or out of the universe. Laird is balanced and happy in the present moment. Transitioning to electric cars wont save the planet it will just make us more efficient and allow for more humans and the progress of technology will happen regardless of any one person

Laird Hamilton is an awesome human being.

[@toolworks]

"you gotta have all things going, all your aspects of life, family, business, friends, kids, exercise" Some of the most influential scientists, philosophers, artists, writers and athletes have been deeply troubled people with messy lives. Newton, Nietzsche, Van Gogh, Dostoevsky, Mike Tyson. These are people who threw themselves into their work because they were brilliant at it and it alone. They didn't need a well rounded life to be on top form.

Shin you assuming there was something to get out of? Many rich people start with a head start. Yet they wanna give a advice to people starting from the starting line. Lol

[@Xavier_Coogat_the_Mambo_King]

At least that comment had some substance to it. I was simply pointing out that "you should make good decisions" is so obvious that isn't worth typing

[@heliumfilaments4368]

Shin yea it’s about hard work and a lot of luck, think about all the hard working comedians that never make it their whole lives? You gotta work hard and be at the right place at the right time. Making the good connection this doesn’t happen to many people. Remember you only see the success stories not the many many many failures. Not everyone can make it, that’s why there are less successful people by a huge margin.

[@heliumfilaments4368]

Shin maybe a lot of people wouldn’t be in those situations if one job pay enough to survive. These days you gotta have multiple jobs just to make a living. Or you gotta live with roommates. But yes there are some people who suck at managing their money.

I completely disagree. it’s very rare that a person has all those spokes where they should be for a sustained period and the greatest achievers among us sacrifice many of those spokes to see their vision through.

[@eXpas04]

Fkin true, and if you balance everything like he says you will be average or a little bit above average in your field, it might be a good fine living but thats not how big shit is made

No. Balanced body and mind is peak performance. Musk makes stupid mistakes

[@asknorway]

Saying "Elon Musk should do this, if he did this he would do much better" is very naive. The man is what he is. You don't get to be Elon Musk and not work like an absolute dog. He could not do what he does working 9-5. Although Jeff Bezos for example does seem to have a more "balanced" approach at this point.

[@1234567leeeeeee]

Pretty unstable as far as a real peace of mind is concerned to need all things outside of oneself in order. Sure one can do one's best but outward circumstances are largely beyond ones control. Looking for everything to be in relative order has nothing at all to do with inner peace or freedom. siltch.

[@icanmanifest]

Great advice I got. There's only one place a tire is completely balanced. When it's on the rack. But tires were made to be on the road. It' flattens out at the road. At times you're gonna be out of balance. Just plan time in for everything that's important and stick to your plan!

[@bradhorner]

Tesla should be able to make sound if you want. Like a soundboard with Star Wars effects when you accelerate.

[@122Gladeator]

I honestly think if you did implement this into his car and different electric cars companies they would get copy righted for sounds. like with star wars I bet Disney would pull rights or like since for example tesla cars have 1 gear think that you wanted your tesla car to sound like a 69 dodge charger accelerating like made they would copyright it. like the different companies would copy right their sounds idk maybe I'm thinking to deep into it, but I do like this idea! I'm thinking this is an idea Elon has thought of you might even consider it goes with his personality I think!

[@Jake-be9ji]

The truth is it just depends on the person. Different people have different desires and needs. What works for some doesn’t work for others. Some people do better focusing on one thing and others prefer a balance.

[@mtadams2009]

In the end people who work 16 hours a day for many days look and feel like shit. I dont care who you are. Elon is brilliant but at a point you have to say enough is enough.

Exactly. What Elon is doing is very rare. He knows what is at stake, and he's bearing the responsibility on his shoulders - to make sure the future is better than the present. Jordan Peterson often talks about sacrificing the present so that the future may be better. That is what Elon is doing, on a grand scale.

[@variancewithin]

should be "what advice did laird hamilton TRY to give to Elon?"

[@Harv88]

What Elon did was shut off everything else, turned it all off, and focused his entire mind on 1 thing, Tesla, 17 hours a day, hammering it, putting in the time to get what was needed done, finished all at once, Then after 10 days etc. he goes back to that normal life, which for someone in his position is probably pretty balanced. That is how his mind works and he has built a dynasty from turning on hardcore mode.

[@dustinhodges9987]

I'm glad someone finally brought this point up. Everyone seems to get caught up with the aura around Elon, but I think there are deeper things that he needs to address in his personal life to 'unlock his potential' or however you want to put it.
