Post Malone reveals why he stopped smoking weed. “I smoked one bad joint and for the longest time it’s like I’ve been watching my life happen instead of living it” “It’s like I’m not doing it, it’s like I’m watching it happen till this day. A lot of the time” “For the longest time in my whole life I couldn’t really explain this. I couldn’t bring it to words and try to explain it because it made no sense”

@BillGates @jayshetty

Bill Gates says finding a job that you like is more important than finding a job that pays high. Jay Shetty: “what is the best advice you’ve ever received” Bill Gates: “Finding what you really enjoy as opposed to finding a job that pays well or people push you to”

Mia Khalifa reveals her husband made her get into the Porn industry at 20. “I was given a business card and told to think about it. I went home and I laughed it off” “The consensus was; you should do it. I think it’d be great”

@DeansDesk Thanks Dean.

@percyishim 20’s: all about discovering what you’re gifted at. 30’s: apply the gifting rigorously to a single vocation. 40’s: get paid for it 50’s: share time and knowledge. 60’s: add money to the sharing of time and knowledge.

Matthew McConaughey says the 40s are the best years of one’s life from experience and the 50s are always filled with midlife crisis. “So I’m just turning 56 and 40s were my favorite. I think I really customized and I found that to be true for a lot of people” “40s, you get rid of all that stuff where you’re wasting your time and you hone in on the stuff that turns you on” “The first few years of the 50s were a little wobbly for me. So you go ‘oh it’s just that midlife crisis”

@DeansDesk Good to hear. An advice for someone in their 20s?

@percyishim 50’s were my favorite. 60’s were tracking to be even better but health snags have put that forecast on hold. For now. (I’m 65)

@OhSupYall Oh shoot. One advice for someone in their 20s?

@percyishim Uhhh…my life was kind of amazing until I hit 40….

@DanielConlin6 Happy for you man. Hopefully I don’t ruin mine. If you had one advice for someone in their 20s what will it be. ??

@percyishim Depends on the circumstances. I was a meth addled alcoholic in my 40s, and they were exciting enough, but not all that great. My 50s have been much better.

@therealbigjonno Wait 😭could be.

@percyishim He’s an actor. He’s acting here, too.

@nickisback_ Hopefully man.

@percyishim Man. I hope I don’t ruin mine.

@LudisCharta Just curious. How’s life now? Any fun?

@percyishim Good to know I have 5 more years until the real fun starts

Matthew McConaughey says you’re not a real man till you become a father. “The only thing I ever knew I wanted to be in life was a father” “When I was 8yr old, my dad would always introduce me to his friends and I would look up and shake their hands and be like ‘yes sir, nice to meet you sir’ and what hit me at 8 was that all of those men were dads” “Become a father, that’s how you become a man”

@MetasFaridP Hopefully mine will be really good too and I don’t ruin it with my habits.

@percyishim I understand this more in my 40s. My younger self wanted more achievements, faster progress, and bigger goals. Now I care more about health, peace, relationships, and being able to do what I love for decades. It feels less like slowing down. More like choosing better 🌱

@BriansBeacon I hope I get it right when I’m there.

@percyishim 40s is the time you start focusing on the inner hero's journey. Up until then it was the outer hero's journey.

Matthew McConaughey says simply having kids does not make you a father. “Sometimes we’re under the illusion that if we make the baby, we’re the father. No you’re not” “You may be the ‘daddy-poppa’ but it takes time to be the father. To be there for your children”

@jpek4 Wait. What?😂😭

@percyishim 😭 cry harder Mike.

Mike Majlak reveals how being addicted to substances robbed him of his joy in life. “I’ve had trouble in relationships, I’ve had troubles in watching the sunset. I’ve had trouble in things that other people find joy in” “Without that adrenaline and that spike or drip of dopamine, I feel less enthused about things that people find massive amounts of enjoyment in” “It’s been a tough part to navigate. It pushes me away from the simpler pleasures of life and creates more sadness on the long run”
