Jason Kelce says being a zero star recruit was actually an advantage over five star recruits “I was a silhouette on Rivals. No stars and not even a picture. I actually think it was one of the best things that could have happened for me. I thought highly of... myself. I thought I was one of the best athletes in the area. Then the offers never end up happening.” “It’s a humbling experience to not get a scholarship offer and think, ‘Am I good enough? Are these coaches wrong? Am I wrong?’ When you’re a walk-on, you have to earn it. The only way you get a scholarship is by performance, so you better show up every single day.” “I think there’s a lot of guys that are so talented that because they’re the five-star recruit, because they’re so good in college, they never have to develop the intangible things that they’re going to need at that further level.” “Eventually that talent gets equalized. And those little things — work ethic, technique, studying, end up actually making a huge difference.”show more

Too bad walk-on’s are a thing of the past at a majority of high level programs. So now athletes have to level up and enter the portal. Sad many won’t have a home for 4 years of college football at the same school.

You just have to work hard to earn it. Even if you're the most talented in the world you still have to earn your space.

I'd go the other side of the coin. The ranking system is dog shit. Say it with me. Doooogshit. Most of the GOAT in their position were no stars, "3 stars".... The ranking system is fucking trash and built for clicks, parents, media, and those that don't love the game...

Zara Larsson accepts the Breakthrough award at the ‘Billboard Women In Music 2026’. #BBWomenInMusic “[…] I’m not new and there are so many years of hard work behind an overnight success or a breakthrough. I’ve been an artist for over a decade now but lately things have really changed for me in my life and my career. So I’ve been trying to figure out what was it that happened? What was it that made the change happen? And when I was younger I wanted to be the best so bad and the annoying part of being the best in any art is that it’s subjective and you just have to, what I learned is that you have to be the most you because only you could be the best of that. And I feel like I become the most me around amazing women. So I didn’t suddenly become a better performer. I just changed who I was around and that was my breakthrough…”

Seth Rogen says waiting 20 minutes for a table makes him doubt his own talent “And it’s like, if I go to a restaurant and I have to wait 20 minutes for a table, instead of them just seating me right away as they are the famous person next to me, is it because I’m not as talented or as good as I thought I was?” “If I’m trying to get into a party and they don’t just let me in and I have to wait in line, does that mean I’m not as good a writer as I thought I was?” “If I’m not getting a deal, if I’m not getting the best hotel room, and I go next door and someone has a nicer hotel room than me on the press tour, does that mean I am not as good an actor as I thought I was?” “And I think that is how a lot of famous people interpret how they’re treated. And they think that if they’re not getting the best treatment, they aren’t as skilled as they wish they were, as they thought they were.” “And that was a thing that I realized when I read that. It’s like, oh, it is tapping into some deep part of me that makes me worried I’m not as talented as I want to be, as I wish I was. And that’s it.”

minghao 🥹 🐻‍❄️ and i think it’s amazing that when you were asked what your dream was as a kid you could answer right away that you wanted to be a star 🎱 back then, i really did want to be a star 🐻‍❄️ exactly 🎱 but i think the reason i wanted to be a star wasn’t even for myself, it was for my mom because everything i learned was all because i wanted to see her smile. i wanted to show it to my mom. so honestly, even after debuting as seventeen i cared a lot about what others thought because of the environment i grew up in, it’s less like that now. that’s why i want to do more of what i actually want now.

Bill Murray says losing the Oscar for Lost in Translation actually saved him from catching a dangerous "virus" of greed and ego: "Have any sadness over not winning the Academy Award? I mean, you were nominated... I don't even know who you lost to. Do you have any idea?" "I do. Sean Penn... for a movie called Mystic River." "Did that bother you at all?" "You know, it was just a—it was sort of surprising. And I won every other prize for Lost in Translation, so I just sort of thought I was going to win because I'd won everything. Every single one. And then I didn't win that one." "It was kind of good. I realized that I'd actually gotten sort of infected by wanting to win it, you know? That it was a—that I'd contracted a low-grade virus of... the desire for more, you know?" "I had it for about six months, and it had to wear off. So I did learn a lesson from it, that if I'd won, I might not have ever seen."

Palmer Luckey explains why founders need to “make themselves obsolete” “When I started Oculus, I thought I was really good at everything… But I was only the best at a lot of things in our company because I had been negligent in my hiring process.” For example, Palmer was the best optical engineer in the company, but he realized that wasn’t something to be proud of. “That was a failure. I failed my company and my investors by making myself a critical dependency for any of our products. And the reality is I’m actually not a very good optical engineer. I was just the best at Oculus.” Once you start scaling your company, Palmer advises founders: “You have to make it your goal to make yourself obsolete, even at the things you like doing.. And that was really tough for me at Oculus because I realized I was basically playing house. I was sitting around doing things that way better people could be doing faster, more effectively.” He continues: “I give my managers the same mindset. I say, ‘Hey, your job is not to do things. It is to get them done in the best way possible. If that means you do it, then you need to do it… If that means that somebody else needs to get hired to do it, that’s what you need to do—even if you like doing it.’” Video source: Internet Marketing (2021)

AOC: I think it’s pretty unbelievable that Gaza would not be mentioned once in the autopsy report. I think it was very clearly a major dynamic and a major thread that was happening in 2024. The fact that it’s not even addressed, I think, is a major oversight. And I think that for young people, it was a huge part of the environment. I can tell you for myself as a candidate during that cycle, there’s no way that it was an ignorable issue or totally immaterial. So I think that it’s a real disservice to not speak to that or include or assess that.

POWERFUL: Vice President JD Vance: “I was a striver, and I think that was very bad. It’s wrong to be ambitious for ambitions’ sake. If you want to be ambitious, you should be trying to accomplish something meaningful. It was my Christian faith that encouraged me to actually worry about things that matter like being a good husband, being a good dad, being a good community member.” “I think all of us have our own path. You obviously have yours, but it’s not over yet, man. So I still have hope for you.”

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale talking about helping Elon Musk with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) 🔮🇺🇸 “I think Elon said it best… America’s A-Team is usually busy building companies in the private sector, but every once in a while, reforming government becomes important enough that they get engaged there. “We have to make things transparent. We have to tie things to competitions. But because it is so broken, I think it’s going to be easy to see… that’s going to be a challenge to pull off. “I’m not going to go in full time. I have a lot of friends going in full time. “I think WWII is a really great example, I think we should aspire to that. In the middle of the 20th century our government was more competent than it ever really was and you’re right, a lot of our best talent did go in around that time. “The American government around that time did extraordinary things. That was when we hired some of the best innovators in the world and did things like going to the moon… “I really hope there is temporary hardship because that means we’ll have cut enough… I think it’d be great if there was a small recession because we cut so much but then boom, there’s a crazy ten years of growth.” With Andrew Ross Sorkin

q. ARMY of course loved your solo work. I think, if I see one critique, they say they wished you wrote more and they say that the album was very western for better or worse and I was wondering if you have heard that and what you make of that idea? 🐰: that just happened to be my choice at the time! I could write more for my next album if that’s what ARMY wants, but back then I wanted something else. I really wanted to get good songs and release an album as soon as I could, yes! that’s the whole reason. I also think the kinds of stories I can tell are pretty limited. I said in interview somewhere that I would rather make up stories to tell, but I have an S in my MBTI profile so gosh😂 that was hard! so in the future, once I have a lot to do and a lot to say, I think it will happen naturally😆 👤: their dream, I think, is something personal… but you’re saying you don’t have anything right now for them, on that front? 🐰: actually, I might never have anything. because I don’t keep memories in my brain for a long time. I forget things a lot so… you know how computers have hard drives? I don’t think I have a lot of disk space😆

Nick Saban says one of the biggest mistakes leaders make when their environment changes is sitting around complaining about the new rules, and says his philosophy was that complaining is actually a distraction to the solution, so you should always spend that energy figuring out how to adapt “You have to be flexible, number one. If you’re flexible, then you have a willingness to adapt. And I think your willingness to adapt is really, really important because things are changing.” “There’s a lot of changes that are ongoing that you have to adapt to. And I think that rather than complain about it, which a lot of people sit around and complain…” “Complaining is actually a distraction to the solution.

Here is the actual GOP candidate for President of the United States attempting to say something about Mark Zuckerberg which is literally all I can figure out from this 90-SECOND LONG SENTENCE. 😵‍💫 “So Mark Zuckerberg called me first of all he called me a few times she called me after the event that he said that was really amazing it was very brave and you know and he actually announced he's not going to support a Democrat because he can't because he respected me for what I did that day I think what I did maybe was a norm to me it was a normal response but I was called by Mark Zuckerberg yesterday the day before on this same subject and he actually apologized he said they made a mistake etc etc in the correcting mistake a Google nobody called from Google one of the things I do in a show like yours you you show you know you see them Fox but what you really see it is all over the place they take clips of your show that you're doing right now with me and if I do a good job they're going to vote for me they're going to vote for me because it's not just on Fox it's on Fox is a smaller part of it you're on all over this those little beautiful cell phones you're on you're all over the place you have a product you have a great product you have a great brand so you have to get out you have to get out you have to do things like your show and other shows and Google has been very bad they've been very irresponsible and I have a feeling that Google isn't going to be close to shut down because I don't think Congress is going to take it I really don't think so Google has to be careful now I will say this I believe Mark Zuckerberg he called me so he called me a lot they are working and I think they fixed it but what can he's not doing what he did four years ago with the five hundred million dollars I don't believe.”

Inspired talking about Skewmond and" the best jungler in the west" debate Q: Everyone was talking a lot of Skewmond, and I would like to know about: do you believe like the series put an end to any debate about the best jungler in the West? Inspired: To me, there was never a debate. I knew that I’m always the best, but I think Skewmond is a good player. I wouldn’t say that he had any phenomenal series, though, this tournament. I think he, against T1, he still made a lot of mistakes. When he was stronger, he didn’t really try to fight enemies, and or sometimes just over committed a bit, and I think G2 won against T1 just by waiting for T1 to make mistakes. I think today, I think Skewmond played well in the team fights. I think every time he was on my screen and we’re like skirmishing and team fighting, I think he did a good job. But I think just like team wise, and like how they all played together as a team and use their jungler was wrong. And it’s hard to say, as I always said, that don’t really know who’s there like which jungler is good because you don’t really know what was his idea beyond the game plan, what his teammates wanted to do. But it just seems like they were not connected well enough, and on top of that, as I said, I think the drafts were not that great. So yeah, I think he’s a good player, but I think they need to work more on team synergy in order to actually pressure when they’re strong if they want to be like the best in the world, because I think they definitely can, but need to work a bit more.

Robert Altman on his Gambling addiction & his attitude towards Gambling: "The reason I was so keen to do 'California Split' (1974) was that for years I wanted to do a gambling film that had nothing but the ambience of gambling, and then point out it had nothing to do with money." Full Excerpt: "I think gambling is just action, and why not? What is there to hoard? I don’t think I have ever jeopardized anybody’s existence by my gambling. Actually, for the last fifteen years or so I’ve been kind of bored with it, because it doesn’t mean anything — what’s the most I could win? Buying lottery tickets, that isn’t gambling. That’s just throwing your hat in the ring. I don’t think gamblers want to lose. But there are people who are addicted to it. At one time I could stand at a crap table for two days — the feeling is like sex. Compulsive gamblers lie to themselves, to everybody. I think I became embarrassed that maybe I was becoming a compulsive gambler. When I was making Tanner ’88, I bet on every game on every day of the baseball season. There’s a moral blanket over gambling. It’s considered immoral, it’s not what you’re supposed to do. I think the greatest theatrical opening scene ever was in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," when the guys are tossing coins, and one of them wins every time. The odds are against that, yet they’re not. Every time you throw a coin, the odds are fifty—-fifty. When you say I’ve thrown heads six hundred times in a row, what are the odds of that happening? Well, mathematically they’re tremendous, but to say that now you’re going to bet on tails because the odds are way in your favour — the odds are not in your favour. So you try this guessing game, ‘I’ve got a hunch, I feel it...’ That was the whole point of California Split, when at the end George Segal turned to Elliott Gould and said, “There was no special feeling.’ He never felt it, because he has nothing to feel! The reason I was so keen to do 'California Split' was that for years I wanted to do a gambling film that had nothing but the ambience of gambling, and then point out it had nothing to do with money."

Robert Altman on his Gambling addiction & his attitude towards Gambling: "The reason I was so keen to do 'California Split' (1974) was that for years I wanted to do a gambling film that had nothing but the ambience of gambling, and then point out it had nothing to do with money." Full Excerpt: "I think gambling is just action, and why not? What is there to hoard? I don’t think I have ever jeopardized anybody’s existence by my gambling. Actually, for the last fifteen years or so I’ve been kind of bored with it, because it doesn’t mean anything — what’s the most I could win? Buying lottery tickets, that isn’t gambling. That’s just throwing your hat in the ring. I don’t think gamblers want to lose. But there are people who are addicted to it. At one time I could stand at a crap table for two days — the feeling is like sex. Compulsive gamblers lie to themselves, to everybody. I think I became embarrassed that maybe I was becoming a compulsive gambler. When I was making Tanner ’88, I bet on every game on every day of the baseball season. There’s a moral blanket over gambling. It’s considered immoral, it’s not what you’re supposed to do. I think the greatest theatrical opening scene ever was in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," when the guys are tossing coins, and one of them wins every time. The odds are against that, yet they’re not. Every time you throw a coin, the odds are fifty—-fifty. When you say I’ve thrown heads six hundred times in a row, what are the odds of that happening? Well, mathematically they’re tremendous, but to say that now you’re going to bet on tails because the odds are way in your favour — the odds are not in your favour. So you try this guessing game, ‘I’ve got a hunch, I feel it...’ That was the whole point of California Split, when at the end George Segal turned to Elliott Gould and said, “There was no special feeling.’ He never felt it, because he has nothing to feel! The reason I was so keen to do 'California Split' was that for years I wanted to do a gambling film that had nothing but the ambience of gambling, and then point out it had nothing to do with money."

“Rwanda has gone through many difficulties. And at a personal level, by the way, my family, we became refugees when I was four years old and stayed in a refugee camp for slightly over two decades. Then later on of course the history lessons of our own tragic 1994 Genocide because of the division that was there. The lessons from that, and which shaped me or informed me and many others, it’s not just me there are many others; in a situation like that, every individual in a way you have to make personal even, or informed decisions. Either you give up and break and that’s the end of you, or you make the choice of saying, I am going to stand up to this, I am going to give it a fight that I have in me, to survive and maybe to make progress. At a personnel level that happened. I, at some point, and I know it’s not just me it’s many in our country, we’re faced with individual choices; do you give up and die or do you die fighting? And those of us who made a choice of the latter, that is how these choices [came to be]. Today I am President, I never thought, I never even lived or thought to be President, when it came I embraced it but it’s not what I was fighting for, in our struggle, I was fighting for my rights to my country, I was asking myself questions and that’s what many other Rwandans, girls and boys, men and women, were asking themselves. Those who stood up and fought for that. Later on, when you are in a place like mine and you have a responsibility, again it helps to keep reflecting; would you be the same person to make the same mistakes that people made that made you a refugee or led to loss of lives of so many, and so on and so forth, or you really want to do your best as humanely possible to feel satisfied that you are doing the right thing for yourself but also putting yourself in the shoes of many others. Are they able to stand up to these challenges the way it should happen, maybe the challenges should be minimized as much as possible? It’s what goes on in the minds, at least it does in my mind whenever I am going about my responsibilities. I am a good student of history.” President Kagame on Rwanda’s history and how it shaped him and his generation | Milken Asia Summit #MIGlobal

Draymond Green reflects on punching Jordan Poole: "For five seconds, I forgot where I was" “I've had a bunch of situations like that growing up. Sometimes I was the guy who get hit, sometimes I wasn't. Regardless, we move on. That's how I've always approached it” “So when that situation happened, I'm like, all right, cool. We move on. And then when we couldn't, I was like, huh?” “For a while, it made me think, man, this dude nothing like me. Because when those things happen, you just move on” “But it taught me so much. It taught me, you're right, he may not be like you. He ain't from where you from. The things you went through, the way you had to come up, he may not have came up like that” “For that five seconds, I forgot where I was at because I immediately went to what I know. But what you know don't really work here” “Everybody says, ‘Oh man, but you was 10 years in. You should know better.’ Still learning nine years in” “It's lessons like that that ultimately make me who I am to this day because, man, I fucked that up”
