The “coward” and the “hero” feel the same things. It’s their actions that set them apart. “Courage doesn't mean you don't get afraid. Courage means you don't let fear stop you."— @bethanyhamilton
Channeled my inner @rorysutherland today, jokingly pitched a pet shop owner an idea sure to give a lawyer night sweats: stay open late next to the bar. Free breathalyzer for fun. Sober? Discount on a dog. Drunk? Get a coupon, to return sober—and a free Gatorade for the leg home.

Supported by the latest that it “won’t be a wearable”. New OpenAI device with Sir Jony Ive could certainly be a pen of some kind in form-factor. @verge #openai #JonyIve

I feel like the Jony Ivy / OpenAI device will be "pen like" in design. Maybe you can even write with it. Looking at Ivy's fav, Dieter Rams for inspiration...
"In the late 1980s, the German pharmaceutical company Hoechst AG commissioned Dieter Rams to design a device for injecting insulin into diabetics, replacing traditional injectables. The result of this collaboration was the Optipen 2 insulin pen, which truly revolutionized insulin administration and made it more convenient to inject insulin anytime, anywhere, something previously unthinkable."
Back to basics. No screen. Always with you to create.

Fundamentally human beings are the same. Imagine being lost in some remote place and suddenly seeing someone coming towards you over the horizon. You wouldn't care about their race, nationality or religious faith, you'd be filled with the joy of encountering another human being.
The way we interact with computers today will one day seem as arcane as the rotary phone. #Interfaces

All things originate in the mind. Actions and events depend heavily on motivation. Appreciation of humanity, compassion and love are key points. If we develop a good heart, whether our field is science, agriculture or politics, since motivation is so crucial, they’ll all improve.

9 yo: What's the point of life?
Me: I think there are two: to do great things and to be good to people.
9 yo: Can you tell me someone who did both?
Me: Mommy. She started Y Combinator, and you know how nice she is.
9 yo (surprised): Wow, I'm lucky to have her as a mother…

Where is the SEC when the WSJ publishes old information purely meant to distort the stock and harm investors? @Tesla @mayemusk. I would love for the SEC to ask the reporter why they published this information at 2 pm ET? wsj.com/articles/tesla-faces… via @WSJ.

Because motivation pervades all action, it is important that we have a positive motivation. Whatever we are involved in, whether it's politics, education, medicine, law, engineering, science, business or industry, the nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.

By exploiting clickbait & the availability heuristic, the media often focuses on negative news; coverage of public personalities isn't spared.
Y'all know abt Elon Musk's Tesla troubles or that he smoked a blunt on Joe Rogan but did you know THIS:

Maybe this is a job for the police but I don’t see any. We have civilians directing traffic away from the (closed) Manhattan bound #QueensboroBridge #NYC #traffic
I don’t want a future where we are each extras in the story of someone’s else’s life. Almost dark enough for @blackmirror #futurism
