One of my favorite principles, learned through experience, is that pain plus reflection equals progress. I developed a habit of viewing pain as a signal of a problem. If you treat that problem as a puzzle to solve, it ultimately yields a gem in the form of a great... show more

If you’re not making many mistakes, you must not be learning much. Mistakes and failures are ultimately more valuable to you than successes because they provide the best learning. I detailed some of my biggest mistakes—and what I learned from them—as part of the new MasterClass Executive program. At this stage in my life, I believe the most important thing I can do is to pass along everything I’ve learned to others, hoping that they find value in it and can avoid making the same mistakes I’ve made. If you’re interested in the program, you can apply for one of the limited spots here:

Every time I feel a single tingle of pain related to my lower back injury, I start to panic. Simply because it takes me back to one of the most painful experiences of my life. This time though, I decided not to let that happen. I did cry through the pain and the treatment, yes.

Failure is a teacher. If you have success, you did it right, so there is probably nothing to learn. But if you have failure, there is something to learn. You have to make the most of your failures. Over time, I developed an instinctual reaction to failure. My instinct now is to view failure as a puzzle that will give me gems if I can solve it. The puzzle is simply this: What would I do differently in the future so as not to have that result? When you solve that puzzle, you write the lesson down. That is where principles come from. #RayDalio #Principles #GrowthMindset #ContinuousLearning

One of the ways I use social media is to put out a “principle of the day” so that we can have a conversation about it. It’s usually about life, or work, or current events. Lots of people send in questions about it each day, and I wish I could answer all of them. But now, with my AI Twin “Digital Ray,” I have my own version of that. Let me give you an example of what I mean. Today’s Principle of the Day is: Pain + Reflection = Progress There is no avoiding pain, especially if you're going after ambitious goals. Believe it or not, you are lucky to feel that kind of pain if you approach it correctly, because it is a signal that you need to find solutions so you can progress. If you can develop a reflexive reaction to psychic pain that causes you to reflect on it rather than avoid it, it will lead to your rapid learning/evolving. After seeing how much more effective it is to face the painful realities that are caused by your problems, mistakes, and weaknesses, I believe you won't want to operate any other way. It's just a matter of getting in the habit of doing it. Now, you can use my Digital Ray Beta to ask more in-depth questions. Like “How do I properly reflect on my mistakes to learn?” If you’re interested, you can now access it immediately via this link below in the comments, and if you find the interaction meaningful, I hope you’ll choose to ask it more questions and let me know how it goes.

Michaela Coel tells us what she learned from playing a fashion designer in ‘MOTHER MARY’. “I learned that to work in the shadows, to facilitate a pop star comes with great pain. It comes with great humility, and sometimes you run out of humility and want to be seen as equal.”

NS Rb: Thank you for remembering that it's been six years. Right now, this feels like the best day of my life. Starting all the way back from the VALORANT beta in 2020, I think I always viewed myself more as someone who was still learning. Honestly, I never really thought of myself as someone who could just guarantee that I was a great player. So from the members I played with starting in Vision Strikers through DRX up until 2023, I think I spent those three years learning. Then through that learning, when I went to TEC in VCT CN, I thought a lot about how to use what I had learned, not just in-game but also more broadly in life. And that eventually brought me here to Nongshim and to this moment. In the end, though, the result came down to learning, studying, teammates covering for one another, and most importantly, as obvious as it sounds, hard work. (via EndPoem)

One of the interesting findings from studies comparing social pain and physical pain is this: if you ask people directly which they would rather experience, most say social pain. Physical pain is extremely aversive. People dislike it intensely. When asked to imagine experiencing one or the other, they typically rate physical pain as more unpleasant than the social pain of embarrassing yourself on stage, being betrayed by a friend, or being dumped by a romantic partner. But an interesting study from about ten years ago approached the question differently. Instead of asking people to imagine pain, the researchers asked participants to recall real experiences. Some were asked to remember moments of physical pain—being in a serious car accident, falling out of a tree and breaking a bone, or some other injury. Others were asked to recall socially painful experiences—being broken up with, going through a divorce, being betrayed by a friend, or embarrassing themselves at an important work event. When recalling these events, people reported that the socially painful memories felt more painful than the physically painful ones. When I first read this study, I was a little skeptical. But then I thought back to the times in my own life when I experienced physical pain. The memory of it tends to be vague. If you’ve broken a bone, been punched, or stubbed your toe, it’s surprisingly difficult to recreate the sensation in your mind once the pain is gone. Social pain is different. It’s much easier to recall vividly. I can remember moments when I felt embarrassed, betrayed, or misled, and those memories can still bring back the emotional sting. Many of those experiences are easy to relive even years later.

Rest in Heaven, King Gibson. You did the best you could, even when life broke you down and the weight of your choices carried more pain than peace. You were a man fighting battles no one saw, a father who loved hard but got lost in the storm. The world wasn’t kind to you, and yet somehow, through the haze of drugs and the silence of regret, your love still found a way to reach us. I understand now—the same pain that made you disappear was the pain you never learned to heal. A father’s absence echoes deep; it becomes the song his children spend their lives trying to rewrite. I carried that emptiness, thinking it was my fault, but I see now—it was your way of protecting us from the parts of you that hurt too much to share. Sometimes leaving is the only way a broken man can love. Still, I wish we had more time. I wish I could’ve told you I forgive you sooner. I wish you could’ve seen that your struggle didn’t define you—it showed how much you tried. Please hug my mother in Heaven, and tell her her love still lives through me. I’m learning to process what it means to be an orphan, learning to love myself through the cracks life left behind. If you can hear me, know that silence has taught me everything words could not. If you still had a voice, I’d tell you that I understand now—that healing looks different for everyone, and forgiveness is how we keep love alive. I promise to keep making you proud, to turn the pain into purpose, to break the chains that once bound us. King and Queen Gibson, your love still reigns. Rest in Heaven. I love you forever. 🕊️

When entering this second phase of life, you are almost certainly making the mistake of thinking you know more than you actually know—especially if you got good grades in school. You were taught that success is a matter of learning what you were taught and not making mistakes. That probably made you a bit arrogant, like I was when I graduated. But it is living life and encountering your realities that will truly teach you. The question is, will you learn? Long Island University You can watch the full speech here:

Don’t do what I did and waste time overthinking something. I wasted 2 years of my life overthinking what bucket my content should fit in. I thought about sports, business, life experiences, prison, streets and all of the other things that I care about. I kept trying to minimize or put my life experiences in a small box as if that’s the only thing I was. I learned that there isn’t a right or wrong answer when it comes to producing content. I should be all of who I am at all times. I’m able to be multidimensional and still be real to myself. I found that out through repetition on the @itiswhatitis_talk show. My personal promise to myself is to make more content. My personal promise it to show my real life in hopes of teaching and inspiring people. I believe that my life is interesting and inspiring. I also believe that it can serve as a tool to help others. If you feel the same way be sure to let this message encourage you. Don’t fight to put yourself in a box. Maybe you were never meant to be in the box in the first place. Spread your wings…..

“the most difficult moments were being away from home for a long time, and adapting to something completely different and new. but little by little we became a family, and i learned that i am stronger than i thought. i think what has changed the most is my inner strength. i have learned to take care of my mind, to protect my peace and to stay focused as an artist and as a person. and i also always remind myself why i am here, and who i am, and how i got here, because identity is the most important thing.”

Ray Lewis shares what tearing his triceps taught him about pain and why most people quit too soon. "There's 2 sides of pain that I don't think a lot of people really understand." "There's one side of pain that's the suffering and the discomfort side of pain. That's why everybody raised their hands when I asked if they've ever been through pain. Because that hurts." That's the pain we all know. The pain we run from. "But then there's another side of pain. That's called effort. It's called glory. It's called - if you can find a way to push through pain, there's something greater on the other side of it." Most people never get there. It's resilience and pushing past adversity. "If you never tap into it, it's because the first time you felt that, you backed off...And we rationalize with ourselves to where we automatically stop." "That's why a bunch of us give up so much in life so quickly." To overcome adversity, you have to be willing to face it. It takes courage. "That's why kids have a problem finishing things in today's time. Because as soon as they feel a small bit of discomfort - of things ain't right - they're gone. 'I can't do it no more.'" Then he said something everyone needs to hear: "But suppose I told you - the greatest pain of my life is the reason I'm standing here today." Resilience is a muscle you build. It isn't something you have, but something you develop. It's built when you show up even when it's hard. You build it by overcoming adversity and challenges. (🎥 TedX Talks)

Sam Altman: “One of the few arbitrage opportunities left in the market is time” “I don’t think you can beat the market in a lot of ways, but the one way I do is by making a long-term commitment to something. My new belief on how long I should hold stock in the best companies I invest in is forever. And I think in a world where people are increasingly focused on the tick and the quarterly earnings cycle, you should try to go in the other direction. This is a great way to generate value and wealth.” Sam continues: “And so I think that when you’re thinking about a startup, it’s really worthwhile to think about something you’re willing to make a very long-term commitment to because that is where the current void in the market is. You get paid as a founder for the wealth you create for other people… The best companies just create massive amounts of value for the world, and then they capture some of that for themselves. But they capture far less than they create, and they do it over a very long period of time. So if you’re going to be one of those companies, I think you want to make a super long-term commitment to yourself and others that are going to work on it with you… It is worth waiting because you will make far more money over the long term by doing this company really well than a bunch of short term things along the way.” Video source: Y Combinator (2016)

lando's sweet message to all his fans ❤️ "just thanks for taking your time to come support me, to cheer me on. genuinely, like my motivation in my racing career was once i want what's best for me and i want to win. and over the years, it really turned a lot more into i want to win for you, for my team, my supporters, my friends. it's a much, much better motivation when externally people are there to support you and cheer you on. and it makes me much happier, the fact that i get to make other people have a good time and hopefully party on sunday nights and those kind of things. like the fact you can bring happiness and joy to others is way better than just trying to bring it to yourself. so the last few years i learned that a lot more and therefore i get to enjoy all of my experiences with you guys that are in papaya and in my yellow as well. it's so much more fun for me to get to share those experiences. and as much as i'm world champion, we're all world champions together because you supported me in that journey."

Not everyone is meant to run a business and that’s okay. Building a successful company takes execution, a willingness to take risks, and the discipline to work through long hours and uncertainty. Before you start anything, ask yourself one simple question, what problem are you solving that people are actually willing to pay for? The best businesses solve real pain points and create real value. If you can do that, prove demand, and execute consistently, you’ll give yourself the best chance to succeed as an entrepreneur.
