Roger Federer shares the mindset behind one of the greatest careers in sports history. "Perfection is impossible." "In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches." Then he asked a question that changes everything: "What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches?" "Only 54%." Even the greatest tennis player of all time lost nearly half of every point he played. "When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot." "I double faulted. It's only a point. I came to the net and got passed again. It's only a point." Then he dropped the mindset we all need to adopt: "When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. But when it's behind you, it's behind you." "This mindset is crucial because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." Master that next-play mindset. You will fail. A lot. Even at the highest level The secret isn't perfection - it's the next play mentality. Let it go. Stay present. Win the next point. (🎥 Dartmouth Commencement )

“Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. Now, I have a question for you: what percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they played. When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think, ok, I double faulted, it’s only a point. I came to the net and got passed again, it’s only a point. Even a great shot, an overhead backhand shot that ends up on ESPN’s Top 10 Play list, that too is only a point. Here’s why I’m telling you this, when you’re playing a point it has to be the most important thing in the world, and it is. But when it’s behind you, it’s behind you. This mindset is really crucial because it frees you to fully commit to the next point and the next point after that – with intensity, clarity, and focus.” - Roger Federer

Roger Federer told Dartmouth's graduating class the number he thinks explains his whole career: "In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches." Then he asked them to guess a second number: "Now, I have a question for you. What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play." What that does to you over a career: "When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think, okay, I double-faulted, it's only a point. Okay, I came to the net, then I got passed again, it's only a point." It applies to the good ones too: "Even a great shot, an overhead back-end smash that ends up on ESPN's top-10 playlist. That, too, is just a point." The part that matters is what he does with the point once it ends: "When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world, and it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point at the next point after that. With intensity, clarity, and focus." And his definition of the best players alive: "The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it." - Roger Federer (Roger Federer) on Dartmouth Commencement (Dartmouth 🌲) Refusing to carry the last point is the same skill as refusing to carry the day's open loops to bed. That one is the sixth fix in my new cortisol piece.

Roger Federer won almost 80% of the 1,526 singles matches he played in his career. But he only won 54% of the points. The greatest tennis player of his generation lost almost every second point he played. He spent 2 minutes explaining what that taught him about success: The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. They're the best because they know they'll lose again and again, and they've learned how to deal with it. Think about that. Even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. Federer's insight: when you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: "Okay, I double faulted. It's only a point." "Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again. It's only a point." Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist, that too is just a point. Here's the mindset shift that separates champions from everyone else: When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This isn't detachment. It's freedom. It frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus. No baggage from the last mistake. No anxiety about the scoreboard. Just the next shot. Federer's definition of a champion: "You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That is to me the sign of a champion." Not a master at avoiding hard moments. You can't avoid them. A master at overcoming them. Watch him in a post-match interview after losing to Djokovic. Reporter: "It was a tough day today. You threw everything at him." Federer: "Yeah, absolutely. Novak played great. Not only today but the whole two weeks. Plus the whole year. Plus last year. Plus the year before that. He deserves it. Well done, Novak." No bitterness or excuses. Reporter: "So close in that first set. It could have been so different." Federer: "Maybe. That's sports. That's why we come to watch it. Just because you don't know the outcome." He continues: "Of course I had my chances in the first set, being up a break. Second set I got lucky to win that. Had some chances early in the third. But it's how it goes." "He was tougher on the bigger points. At the end he was rock solid. I thought he played great. I didn't play bad myself. So I can be very happy as well." Read that last line again. He lost a major final. And he said he can be "very happy as well." He's separating his performance from the outcome. He didn't play badly. Novak was just better on the day. That's it. Move on. Most people do the opposite. They win and think they're geniuses. They lose and think they're failures. Champions know better. You can play great and lose. You can play terribly and win. The point is behind you. The match is behind you. What matters is: did you fully commit? Did you bring intensity, clarity, and focus? If yes, you can be happy regardless of the scoreboard. This applies far beyond tennis. In your career, you'll lose almost half the points you play. The pitch that doesn't land. The promotion that goes to someone else. The project that fails. The rejection email. You can dwell on every shot. Replay every mistake. Carry the baggage into the next opportunity. Or you can say: it's only a point. It's behind me now. And commit fully to the next one. The best in the world aren't the best because they never fail. They're the best because they've learned how to deal with failure. Again and again and again. This 2 minute speech will teach you more about handling setbacks than every motivational video you've ever saved.

Roger Federer: "Effortless is a myth. I worked very hard to make it look easy." "I left school at age 16 to play tennis full-time. So I never went to college. But I did graduate recently. I graduated tennis. I know the word is 'retire', but retired sounds awful. Like you, I finished one big thing and I'm moving on to the next. Like you, I'm figuring out what that is." Lesson 1: Effortless is a myth. "People would say my play was 'effortless.' Most of the time, they meant it as a compliment. But it frustrated me when they'd say, 'He barely broke a sweat' or 'Is he even trying?' The truth is, I had to work very hard to make it look easy." Roger shares the wake-up call: "An opponent at the Italian Open publicly questioned my mental discipline. He said, 'Roger will be the favorite for the first two hours. Then I'll be the favorite after that.' Everyone can play well the first two hours you're fit, you're fast, you're clear. After two hours, your legs get wobbly, your mind starts wandering, your discipline starts to fade. My parents, my coaches, even my rivals were calling me out. So I started to train harder. A lot harder." He explains the paradox: "I got the reputation for being 'effortless' because my warmups at tournaments were so casual that people didn't think I'd been training hard. But I had been working hard before the tournament when nobody was watching." Roger redefines talent: "Yes, talent matters. But talent has a broad definition. Most of the time, it's not about having a gift, it's about having grit. A great forehand can be called a talent. But discipline is also a talent. Patience is a talent. Trusting yourself is a talent. Embracing the process, loving the process, these are talents too. Some people are born with them. Everybody has to work at them." Lesson 2: It's only a point. "You can work harder than you thought possible and still lose. I have many times. Tennis is brutal. Every tournament ends the same way: one player gets a trophy. Every other player gets back on a plane, stares out the window, and thinks, 'How the hell did I miss that shot?'" Roger shares the statistic that changed his mindset: "In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points do you think I won? Only 54%. Even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play." He explains what this teaches: "When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: 'Okay, I double-faulted. It's only a point.' 'I came to the net and got passed again. It's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's Top 10, that too is just a point." Roger shares the key mindset: "When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." He reflects on losing Wimbledon 2008: "Some call it the greatest match of all time. Okay, all respect to Rafa, but I think it would've been way better if I had won. Looking back, I feel like I lost at the very first point. I looked across the net and saw a guy who just a few weeks earlier crushed me in straight sets at the French Open. And I thought, 'This guy is maybe hungrier than I am.' It took me until the third set to remember 'Hey buddy, you're the five-time defending champion. You're on grass. You know how to do this.' But it came too late." Roger shares what champions understand: "The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they'll lose again and again, and have learned how to deal with it. You accept it. Cry it out if you need to. Then force a smile. Move on. Be relentless. Adapt and grow. Work harder, work smarter." Lesson 3: Life is bigger than the court. "A tennis court is 2,106 square feet. That's where singles matches happen. Not much bigger than a dorm room. I worked a lot, learned a lot, and ran a lot of miles in that small space. But the world is a whole lot bigger than that." Roger explains his philosophy: "Even when I was just starting out, I knew that tennis could show me the world, but tennis could never be the world. I knew that if I was lucky, I could play competitively until my late 30s, maybe even 41. But even when I was in the top five, it was important to me to have a life, a rewarding life full of travel, culture, friendships, and especially family. These are the reasons I never burned out." He shares what matters most: "Tennis has given me so many memories. But my off-court experiences are the ones I carry forward just as much. The places I've travelled, the platform that lets me give back, and most of all the people I've met along the way." Roger concludes: "Tennis, like life, is a team sport. Yes, you stand alone on your side of the net. But your success depends on your team, your coaches, your teammates, even your rivals. All these influences help make you who you are." His final words: "Whatever game you choose, give it your best. Go for your shots. Play free. Try everything. And most of all, be kind to one another, and have fun out there."

This is one of my favorite movie endings... It has a powerful lesson: "At some point, everything is going to go south on you...and you're gonna say 'this is it, this is how I end.' Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That's all it is, you just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem. Then you solve the next one. And the next. And if you solve enough problems, you get to come home." This is the beautiful thing about life: No matter where you are today—no matter how deep in the darkness—you are always just one good decision away from being in a better place tomorrow. You can always focus on that one decision—that one problem—in front of you. Don't worry about the hundreds or thousands of decisions that you still have to make to get to where you want to be—just focus on the next decision. Just begin. Solve one problem. Then solve the next one. And the next. "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." - Confucius

Players always talk about moving on to the next shot. I asked Chet Holmgren how hard it is to do that in the moment and how he did it tonight: “I just feel like never be afraid of failure. If you miss a shot, you miss a shot. But you’re not gonna never shoot a shot again in your career. You’re gonna have to shoot a shot again at some point, so why not now?”

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

THE SECRET GATEWAY HIDDEN IN YOUR BODY - There’s a gateway inside you that unites your soul, your higher mind, and your DNA into one eternal current of living energy. - 99% of humanity has never heard of it. - It’s called The AzurA Point in eternal life science — and it’s your cosmic compass. - Located at the center of your sternum, behind the thymus gland, this “upper heart” is the zero-point intersection of your vertical current (“the Staff”) and your horizontal life force flow (“the Rod”). - This is your I AM bridge between your higher and lower self — the still point of eternal peace — and the primary override point for DNA re-encryption and multidimensional embodiment. - When dormant, you feel fragmented, reactive, disconnected. - When awakened, you gain clarity, coherence, and command over your field. - You become aligned with the source of all energy. How to activate it: 1. Place your hand over your sternum. 2. Breathe into that point with a 12-pointed breath. 3. Speak aloud: “AzurA Inai, I Return to One.” 4. Repeat until you feel the alignment of Staff and Rod return. Your chakras won’t take you home. The AzurA Point will. You weren’t meant to chase awakening — you were built to become it. ✨🙌🏾💫 © Samuel Lee

Lamar Odom reveals that his former teammate Kobe Bryant showed up in one of his dreams where they were competing against each other in a 3 point contest and he opened up about his experience in the afterlife 😮👀 “We were having a 3 point contest, and I remember this vividly, I get to the top of the key, and it’s a little too deep... I took it again and I made it. And then we got to the right side of it and he just stopped. He looked back at me and said ‘Hello, the afterlife is not what people make it out to be.’”

“What did you think of Lando being booed at race because people and I've seen it online as well say he doesn't deserve the title because McLaren favored him over his teammate. Do you think that's total nonsense?” Jacques Villeneuve: “That's a little bit ridiculous. When there was some booing in some races, that was embarrassing. You should never boo a driver that's clean, doesn't do anything dirty, on track is respectful, and on top of it is super fast. What's wrong with people? That was embarrassing. And, had it been that Piastri was a second a lap faster than him and somehow Lando was winning because a lot of things were happening, his car breaking down every time, then you could start thinking, okay, that's really not cool. That's not fair. But that wasn't the case. And in the second half, Norris has been faster right at the beginning as well, last year as well. So there's this whole middle of the season where Piastri was driving a lot better than Norris and was getting the points. Norris had an engine blowing up, not Piastri. And so those fans, they don't look at that either. You have to look at the whole picture, at the whole season. And suddenly if your favorite is starting to go backwards, you just got to bite the bullet and accept it. Your favorite is just going backwards. That doesn't mean that the other one is treated better or the other one is undeserving just because the one you're a fan of is not winning right now. That’s really wrong. If you're a fan of the sport, then you have to be a fan of the sport and understand when your driver is maybe not cutting it at this point in time, even though he was before and he will in the future again. It's all a question of timing. But that's the price we have to pay now with social media and how big F1 has become. It's very passionate. The people are passionate and once, you know, fans come from fanatism, you stop thinking, when you get in that mindset and it happens to all of us. You want something so much that you get attached and you cannot - it's hard to start seeing reality. So you will try to mold the reality to your thought process and if your champion is not winning then it cannot be his fault. It has to be something from the outside. It has to be the team destroying his chance or not favoring and so on and so on and so on. But there's nothing concrete behind those comments. It's pure fandom and it'll always be like this. And ultimately it's not a bad thing. You know drivers at that - sportsman at that level have to grow a thick skin. If not, you don't deserve to be there. You just have to have a thick skin because they're all very happy to get the compliments. They love it when it's just positive, but it gets balanced out with negatives and you need to be able to take and accept the negatives as well. It goes both ways. You cannot have the good. You just have to be a thick skin and know that it's part and parcels of what's going on. And in one month, it will be forgotten and maybe everything will change and it be the other driver that suddenly will be criticized and so on. So, it's just that's just the way it is.”

Amar'e Stoudemire says there is no point guard in today’s game that he would want to play with, it’s no true point guards in the NBA today: “Because for me, you know, as a big sometimes you rely on that ball coming to you. You can’t just grab the rebound and take it yourself and just do your own thing a lot of times, right? So, you need a point guard that can help facilitate the game with you. And I don’t really see a point guard right now in the league that’s that pass first, no look passing behind the back passing point guard what happend to that. I don’t understand where it’s at?” (Via Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady)

New Turning Point video shows exactly why Charlie Kirk was the greatest CEO in the history of grassroots political organizations. Take just two minutes to watch this. These are the words of a transformational leader: “Well, you [Turning Point staff] are about to embark on something that is much bigger than yourself. So check your ego at the door. This is not about you, okay? I don’t care about your feelings. If you’re having a bad day, you know, go figure that out yourself. This is about us. This is about the country. And the eyes of the whole nation are, again, on Turning Point. “We do the best events in the movement. In fact, we do the only event. Are there any other events in the movement? No. We’ve kind of put everyone else out of business, right? So we are the only standard of excellence. And so we hold ourselves to a higher standard. We don’t do mediocre around here. We try to raise the level of excellence because we are constantly trying to push the conservative movement and the country to a place it’s never been before. “You guys know this. Turning Point USA is the most important organization in the country, period. Find me another organization that’s been able to move millions of people the way that we have, that does the events, that does training. Nobody does what we do at Turning Point USA, but it starts with all of you. We’re building something bigger than you, bigger than me. “We’re building an experience to help save the country. And if this type of intensity bothers you, well, then, don’t go work for Turning Point USA. You can go work for the Department of Labor or something, okay? Because here we do excellent things. We do big things. We make history here at Turning Point USA. “It’s going to be early mornings. It’s going to be late nights, but you all get to know that you’re doing something rewarding that is not just, oh, a career. And you check the box, but lives will be changed. How blessed are we that we get to be here celebrating the country. And this is our job. It’s pretty awesome. “There’s the one thing that I hear from speakers throughout all the years. Your team is so impressive and they’re so young. Why is it everybody? Because for us, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. This is not just another DC gig. This is about saving Western civilization. “We are the most important organization in the country. You are part of it. It’s something bigger than all of us, and it will have ramifications across the country. I’m so thankful for you guys. You guys have really defied gravity. And let’s continue to make history here.”

Qullamaggie on Nicolas Darvas and Going Full Margin on One Stock “Nicolas Darvas used to get 200% in a stock; his record is pretty good? Yeah, but for every Darvas, there’s like 1,000 people who bought the wrong stock and blew up. Your number one job as a trader is to not blow up, okay? And by you do that by risk management. I don’t like the people who, you know, that glorify going on margin in a single stock or in a few stocks. It’s just stupid; you will blow up guaranteed. You’re on 200% margin in a stock. You know it goes down 30% overnight, you have lost most of your money. It’s just not worth it. Like in a bull market. There are so many stocks that go up, okay? There’s no reason to be in margin in one or a few stocks. Just look at the moves from the March lows. There’s hundreds of stocks that have doubled tripled quadrupled. There was no reason to be in one single stock. It’s just ridiculous; it’s the dumbest thing ever. Why would you be in a few stocks? I just don’t get the point.”

Real life story time! I briefly dated someone who saw flowers as a complete waste of his money. And refused to buy them. Like ever. REFUSED. Even on “special occasions”. And it was exhausting trying to explain why I liked flowers and why it made me feel special for my significant other to get them for me. Eventually I got tired of asking for that display of romance. And I left. I walked away and didn’t wait for him to break up with me. Sometimes, in the quest for better, you have to be the one to walk away. But that’s not the point of this post. The point is: that one hated the idea, and the right one was honored by the idea. I’m now married to the man who has a whole BUDGET JUST FOR FLOWERS for me set aside and he carefully chooses ones he believes I will like. A whole budget. Please catch what I’m saying. Maybe it’s not flowers. Maybe it’s quality time. Maybe it’s something else. The point is the one who WANTS TO, will. Basically… One man’s “why do you need all that from me” is another man’s “is that all you need from me?” Remember that. And stop settling my good sis. The things you would like to have only scare those who have intentions of doing the bare minimum to skate by. That means there’s a heart out there willing to put in the work Carry on as you were. 💖☺️ Save this for later when you need the reminder.

“ADHD is not a disorder of not knowing what to do. It’s a disorder of not doing what you already know.” Dr. Russell Barkley just delivered one of the clearest explanations of ADHD I’ve ever heard. He says the brain can be split in two: the back part acquires knowledge, the front part (the executive system) uses it. ADHD acts like a meat cleaver that severs the two. You already have the skills and information other people your age have. You just can’t apply them when it counts. That’s why life becomes an endless series of last-minute crises. You’re time-blind — you can only deal with what’s right in front of you. The further away a goal or deadline is, the less real it feels. The solution isn’t teaching more skills. It’s changing the environment at the exact point where the problem occurs — the “point of performance.” It’s a game-changing way to understand why traditional approaches often fail.

👇🏽 THE SECRET GATEWAY HIDDEN IN YOUR BODY - There’s a gateway inside you that unites your soul, your higher mind, and your DNA into one eternal current of living energy. - 99% of humanity has never heard of it. - It’s called The AzurA Point in eternal life science — and it’s your cosmic compass. - Located at the center of your sternum, behind the thymus gland, this “upper heart” is the zero-point intersection of your vertical current (“the Staff”) and your horizontal life force flow (“the Rod”). - This is your I AM bridge between your higher and lower self — the still point of eternal peace — and the primary override point for DNA re-encryption and multidimensional embodiment. - When dormant, you feel fragmented, reactive, disconnected. - When awakened, you gain clarity, coherence, and command over your field. - You become aligned with the source of all energy. 💠 How to activate it: 1. Place your hand over your sternum. 2. Breathe into that point with a 12-pointed breath. 3. Speak aloud: “AzurA Inai, I Return to One.” 4. Repeat until you feel the alignment of Staff and Rod return. Your chakras won’t take you home. The AzurA Point will. You weren’t meant to chase awakening — you were built to become it. Follow and watch my previous videos for more wisdom.
