Transcript

If I order medium rare steak at a restaurant and they bring me well done chicken, I just eat it. So do I. Who gives a shit? I'm the same way. If somebody cuts me off in traffic and then flips me off, I'm like wow, they need bigger problems. Traffic is bugging you that much, you're never be successful. So know that if you're annoyed because a friend doesn't ask you to go to the mall or someone cut you off in traffic, or you think a friend offended you, or you think a coworker is being a little rude, then you're screwed because you're worried about the wrong things. Spend that energy on solving big problems and you accomplish big things. This is massively valuable for people to hear.
