Mark Cuban reveals the two times he got fired that confirmed he could never work for anyone else "My first job out of college I worked for Mellon Bank. I started a rookies club where I reached out to executives, and my boss calls me in and just starts... screaming at me, how could you do this, you work for me. I knew I wasn't destined there" "Then I got a job selling software. A customer wanted me to come close a $15,000 deal, $1,500 commission to me. My boss said no, you need to be there to open the store. I made the executive decision to go get the check" "I figured all would be forgiven. Sales cures all. He fired me" "Those experiences confirmed what I already knew, that I was a shitty employee and I better start my own thing" "I took the check back. I might not be a good employee but I'm not stupid"show more

Jeff Bezos reveals the question he asks himself to make every big decision in his life "I told my boss I'm going to go do this crazy thing and start a company selling books online. He said, let's go on a walk, and we went on a two-hour walk in Central Park" "He said this actually sounds like a really good idea, but it sounds like it would be a better idea for somebody who didn't already have a good job. He convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision" "I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. And I knew that would haunt me every day" "If you can project yourself out to age 80 and think, what will I think at that time, it gets you away from some of the daily pieces of confusion" "I knew that when I was 80 I was not going to regret having tried this. I knew that if I failed I wouldn't regret that. But the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried" "I left this Wall Street firm in the middle of the year. When you do that, you walk away from your annual bonus, and that's the kind of thing that in the short term can confuse you" "But if you think about the long term, you can really make good life decisions that you won't regret later"

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

American Nurse Quit Her Job & Is Speaking Out “If I knew then what I knew now, I would have never went to nursing school. You're a graduate of Big Pharma and helping Big Pharma. That's why I quit nursing” “They're not looking for cures. They're looking for customers” “I realized what BS was being said to the patients. I remember having a patient and they were saying that the only way that she could get better was to take all this medication. And I actually knew of some herbal remedies. And I was like, they're just f*cking lying at this point. So many other things that could have been done. So whenever I see these nursing graduates graduating, I'm like, yay, you got a graduation from big Pharma. —If I was gonna be a nurse, I'd be a holistic nurse, which you don't need a degree for so to all you nurses out there, be careful because that profession is very depressing. They're not looking for cures. They're looking for customers. They'll teach you everything incorrectly. I remember when they told me that you could not pray for a patient. I Was like, okay, we'll stop my mind because that's what I'm gonna do. Let me tell you something else, My dad's a doctor and I was a nurse, my mom was a nurse, my sister is a nurse and doctors don't know everything. It's literally 10% doctor, 90% God. Do not tell somebody that this or this or this is going to happen. You're not God. I've seen people get cured when they're like, nope, they're going to die. So, and let me tell you something, it wasn't off Big Pharma either. — The medical field, all the things I could tell you from that place”

CC Sabathia says he gave up a $500,000 bonus to defend a teammate, but the Yankees paid him anyway “They put a bonus in my contract, I think I needed like 140 innings to get 500 grand extra in my bonus. We go into Tampa, and I need six innings to get this bonus. I'm in the fourth inning, cruising. I'm getting this” “Then they threw a ball up and in at my catcher, Austin Romine. I know baseball, so I knew that shit came from the bench. Because I threw a two-seamer in and hit Jake Bauers in the hand. So they made a big stink. They throw at Austin Romine. I come out of the dugout and I'm ready to go” “Then everybody calms me back down. Gardy comes to me. He's like, ‘Bro, don't do it.’ And I was like, ‘Just be ready to fucking fight.’ That's all I told him. So their catcher comes up the next inning and I hit him with the first pitch. I wasn't mad at him. I was mad at the situation and who called it” “I said what I said at their bench and I walked off. When I was walking off, in the moment, I was like, ‘Fuck, I don't know if I made the right decision.’ Then everybody came in after the game and they was all fired up. That was something where, in the moment, it was the right thing to do” “It was just a snap decision. I was just trying to show this is how you take care of your teammates. My team was young. Luis Severino was in there. Judge was young. All those dudes were young. This is how you set the standard. Don't matter about the fucking money. You go and you do what you got to do for your teammates and everything else will work out. Hal called me the next day and paid me my bonus”

Ninja explains how he got fired from his job in the middle of a Halo tournament and what he said to his manager before hanging up "I used to work there. I worked there for three years. And then I got fired for getting someone to cover my shift while I went to a local tournament in, like, Ohio or something." "I called up someone from work. I was like, hey, bro, you want to cover my shift tomorrow night? And he's like, okay. I canceled off my own. You have to get manager approval, obviously. I didn't. But I didn't care."

Caleb Hammer reveals he went from $90,000 in debt at 18 to a $250,000 net worth before he ever made a dollar on YouTube “When I graduated high school, my parents first advice they told me to do was go max out a credit card for a piano I wanted, so I immediately did that. also a store card maxed out for an iMac, because I needed a sick iMac for college. A card maxed out on McDonald’s, federal student loans for a bullshit degree that I dropped out for anyway, Sallie Mae student loans, a $13,000 car loan, and a family loan for a down payment on the car too. So I just owed money to everybody.” “I had goals of where I wanted to get to in life and even though I was making the minimum to live, with the goals I wanted, I couldn’t get there, I just looked around and I was like this isn’t it.” “My friend got a job down here in Austin, a sales job, very low pay but great upside if you do well, so I just packed up my sedan, sold all my stuff, drove down in a week and a half to Austin, and it was a $32,000 a year job but the upside was basically unlimited” “I got to the top of the sales team in terms of sales volume and commission and I immediately started making six figures, saved up that emergency fund, cutting everything I could, living in cheaper places, doing roommates, so that I could save up for a 10% down payment on a house in Austin, “Then I rode the COVID market, sold it for a $100,000 profit, rolled that into the next property, rental property, and I kept rolling, So I went from negative $90,000 at 18 to positive $250,000”

Why am I not even surprised by this, I’m afraid if more and teachers have this epiphany then we won’t have any left to teach our kids. This woman used to be a teacher with a master’s degree. I can’t imagine devoting that much time and money to a profession only to find out I could make more just working a normal job. I think more and more that higher education is possibly turning into a scam. Growing up I was always told to focus on school, get an education and I will soar. Not too long after that I found out that wasn’t the case. I don’t even use my degree at all, I got it because I was told by my parents I had to. I worked two jobs while in school so I could graduate without debt, only to put it on the wall and forget about it. I later on went the family business route anyways as I always planned on doing. I feel I was pressured and sold a pipe dream that a degree would be the answer to anything financial for me, that it would unlock possibilities. For me, it closed many doors, many employers saw me as being overqualified. The turning point for me was when I used to go to a hotel with co-workers after work and I got to know my server. Turned out he had a degree in a similar field to mine and he was waiting on tables and in massive student debt because of it. I can tell the college dream turned into a nightmare for him. To spend thousands and not be able to use it to recoup my money would make me feel like the biggest fool around. I felt like if anyone came by to sell me magic beans, I would have a beanstalk in my yard. While not using my degree worked for me, there are so many more others that can’t say the same.

Why am I not even surprised by this, I’m afraid if more and teachers have this epiphany then we won’t have any left to teach our kids. This woman used to be a teacher with a master’s degree. I can’t imagine devoting that much time and money to a profession only to find out I could make more just working a normal job. I think more and more that higher education is possibly turning into a scam. Growing up I was always told to focus on school, get an education and I will soar. Not too long after that I found out that wasn’t the case. I don’t even use my degree at all, I got it because I was told by my parents I had to.

The Undertaker reveals WCW told him no one would ever pay money to watch him wrestle "I was there about eight or nine months and my contract was coming up." "I go in to renegotiate my contract and they were like, 'Look, you're a great athlete, kid. But no one's ever gonna pay money to watch you wrestle.'" "I'm just looking for a little bit of a bump in my paycheck. I'm not looking for the mega deal." "They said, 'No, we're gonna give you the same deal for a year. You do great things in the ring, but no one's ever gonna pay money to see you wrestle.'" "I know where my ceiling is here, right?" "So through a few different people, I get connected with some people in the WWF." "Vince watches me work, and I'm talking to my buddy Bruce. I'm like, 'Bruce, my hip is jacked.' He goes, 'Just go out there. Vince is gonna be watching.'" "I went out there and did what I could. I sucked. I was physically not able really to go the way I could go, and Vince wasn't impressed." "Fortunately, guys like Paul Heyman and Bruce Prichard believed in me. They kept pushing for me to get this meeting with Vince, and finally I got to go to his house."

Shaquille O'Neal reveals how he forced Papa John's to drop their prices after joining the board "So after the dude did what he did, a friend of mine said, hey, we're going to go buy Papa John's. I said, what you mean? He said, come with me." "I said, well, you know they messed up with my people. I said, if you put me on board, I got to be on the board, I got to be in charge, and I got to get some franchises." "I said, how y'all going to call people the N-word and then charge them the highest price for pizza? We ain't going for that." "I said, first thing you need to do, drop them prices dog. So you drop the prices, things start getting back." "Papa John's is a good brand. The guy just messed up, but he had to pay for that."

Alysa Liu: Beijing was a really good memory. I did not take it seriously at all. Interviewer: It's the Olympics, how do you not take it seriously? Alysa Liu: Well... I made it there already; that was my goal. My dream wasn't to do like... I mean, I wanted to do good programs, and I did do good programs. But I was like, "This is it. Now nothing can affect my mood like, I was already so happy." Not even the competition could affect me. The competition couldn't bring me down. Nothing could. I'm just happy to be there and so really trying to live it up. At that point, this was my last competition, so I'm honestly very excited for taking my last and for such a big one.

Christian Kane talks bar fights, stunts & singing with Jensen Ackles (Supernatural 15-07 Last Call) #SPNToronto #SpnTor #Torcon "...and then Jay and I have been friends for, I mean, we were kids stealing a beer from an Emmy party, I think. We were both like in our young twenties, man. So it's just a lot of fun to be here with all my friends and stuff like that. So I appreciate you guys for letting me be here...." Q: "I was just hoping that you would tell us about how you got asked to be on the show and just your entire shooting experience when you got to go." "Jensen gave me a call. He gave me a call and said, 'Hey, you wanna come in and do this?' And I said (I have to be really careful because I'm so fortunate 'cause I got to work with my friends). But I said, 'How's the money?' He goes, 'It’s shit.' And I said, 'Do I die?' He goes, 'Yep.' I go, 'Do you kill me?' He goes, 'Yep.' He goes, 'First of all, it's me and you. It's a bar fight. You used to fight for my dad, and we get to sing Hank Williams Junior.' And I said, 'Where do I sign?' We showed up, and Jensen's always so professional. We went and had lunch... Those guys work hard. They work really, really hard. I mean, as Elliot Spencer — I did all my own shit. I choreographed the fights... I dare you to slow something down and see if it's a picture of me because you can't find it. It's a little bit different 'cause I'm expendable. Jensen's not. David Boreanaz is not. Sometimes people stand in for him, you know, they have to, 'cause they can't afford to get hurt. You just physically can't — financially or physically afford for those guys to get hurt. Jensen never left the set. We did all our own stuff — that fight was us. If he's coming up here after me... it was very painful. But he never left the set, and I was really proud of both of us. When you see us in there, that's us doing this stuff. He threw me around, we were throwing punches. He never left the set, and that made me feel really comfortable because that's where I felt most comfortable doing stuff, and I trusted him 'cause he's good at what he does. And so it was a very, very fun time for me. Me and Boreanaz used to joke around on Angel saying, 'What did we do? For five seasons we went to work and tried to kill our best friend.' And when you're an actor and you get to go to work and try to kill one of your best friends, it's a good day." Q: "So my question is similar... it's about the song when you and Jensen get up to sing. So was that always the song you were gonna sing, like right from the beginning when Jensen pitched it?" "Well, it was in the script, and I said, 'I don't know how they're gonna pay for this.' And then I remembered it's Supernatural — they got more money than, you know... So I was like, 'Alright.' The coolest thing about your question is that we got to go in on our day off, me and Jensen, and we got to record it. I didn't know at the time, but Jensen told me we got to record it at Brian Adams' personal studio... That was kind of a cool thing. And I hadn't sang in a while, and I remember the compliment from Jensen — as I went to the booth and walked out, he goes, 'You still got it.' I felt pretty good about myself."

Stephen Jackson on why playing for Coach Pop was the best thing for him: "I love Pop man, he mean everything to me. Not only did he give me an opportunity to be on a championship team and to be part of a championship organisation. But he taught me how to be a professional, he taught me how to be a man. And starting my career off, you know my first couple of years in San Antonio, is the main reason I played 14 years. Because I learnt so much about myself, about the game.. I owe all that to Pop man and I pray for him daily, and I just hope one day you know soon, that I can see him and hug him and tell him how much I appreciate him.. When it all comes down to it, the opportunity that he gave me and believing in me to start me half way during the season, and to finish that season off as NBA champions, that meant the world to me man and I owe everything to Pop." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Suns guard Collin Gillespie on his interaction with Draymond Green in Saturday's loss to the Warriors: "I ain't even get under his skin. Like, he said something to me and I said something back to him and I don't know if he I thought I wasn't going to respond to what he said to me? I'm 26 years old, I'm a grown man. I'm not going to just let somebody call me a name and then not say anything back. I didn't really get under his skin. I just said what he said back to me and that was it and then he freaked out so I don't really know." On what Green said to him: "I can't say. You could probably put it together but I can't say it in the media. I just said don't talk to me like that. That's all I said. It wasn't crazy and I used the terminology he used." #Suns #DubNation

Kevin Johnson says he lost a bet to Charles Barkley and had to go to a strip club with him. Barkley owed him a church visit but never paid, he sent Dr. J instead “Charles was known for going out. Like, for real going out. So he would be coming in Sunday morning at like 7:00 a.m., and I’d be going out, cuz I’m going to church” “So he coming from the strip clubs this way, and I’m going to church that way. So the thing was, ‘Hey, guy, pray for me’” “Charles and I had a bet one time. I ain’t gonna tell you what the bet was, but if I won, he had to go to church with me. And if he won, I had to go to strip club with him. Whatever the bet was, I lost” “That man made me go to a strip club with him in Houston. I ain’t know what to do. He said, ‘Just sit right there. They’re going to do the rest.’ I say, ‘How long I going to be in there?’ It was like an hour. I hopped out. I was sweating and everything. But I paid my bet up” “He said he was going to go to church with me, but he never went. And then one day Dr. J went to church with me, and I figured Dr. J probably went for Charles”

The day the IBM PC was released, I was at this Somerville, New Jersey Computerland. There was no way a poor kid like me could own one. But I knew if I could hang out enough I could learn it. After a few weeks Tom the manager said “Roemmele you want get paid for this?”. I said yes and went about setting up and training 100s of executives at Central New Jersey corporations for almost a decade. I worked my own hours and this lifted me out of poverty. I got my first Apple II and Macintosh here as well as my first LaserWriter and Apple Camera. I would go to the local florist and pick up red roses for the IBM PC display. They spent a lot, but IBM demanded real roses and “fined” any sales company that did not have one with the display. One day in my first year the owner came in and said “who is this kid?” Tom said, “Oh that is Brian, he sold more computers and software than all our outside sale combined and he is not in sales”. The owner came over and said shook my hand and said, “let me take you out for dinner, you and your girlfriend”. He was kind and generous to me and offered me key consulting gigs around the state. So seeing this commercial pop up in my VHS AI training knocked me over. Tom did not have to bet on me and even guess a stuttering geek could do this work, but he did. Nothing but gratitude for this start…
