Transcript: Parents grew up in an era where a degree was safe, but companies, guys, watch the world, the biggest companies in the world every day are stopping requiring college degrees, it's just not as valuable.
No, really, and I'm going to use this for everybody, everybody so crippled by decisions, but you never know how the other thing worked out. Let me give you an example. Let's say you don't go to college and you start this business and you were 100 percent right, and it's huge and you're doing so great, but because you did that, you had to fly to America for a big meeting and your plane crashed and you died. That would be a bad idea. Or you think you're going to go to college because it's a good experience and you'll meet people, you can meet people in a business, you're not going to know. As some of you guys know, I famously passed on Uber twice, which means currently I missed out on 600 million dollars. You could think that's a mistake or if I would have invested in Uber, maybe I'd be somewhere else right now and picking up a disease that would kill me a year later, maybe. Whichever one you choose, you'll never know how the other one would have played out. I think people overthink decisions. You'll never know what the alternative would have been. So just pick one and do it. Parents grew up in an era where a degree was safe, but companies, guys watch the world, the biggest companies in the world every day are stopping requiring college degrees, it's just not as valuable. But it might be, but for you, forget about a general concept for you, maybe that degree would have been good. What I'm saying is, you're not going to know. So choose, live, and then if it works out, great and if it doesn't adjust. Everybody thinks they can have the perfect decision, there is no perfect decision, there's just life. So pick and be happy with it. Guys, and I know it's like fun and everything, but it's the truth. You don't know, like there is no there's no time machine, there's no future machine. We're all overanalyzing everything. Like, how do you know? You don't. This is why I keep trying to push people, the only thing that I know seems practical is, are you happy? Are you happy today? Feels like it's the right thing. This is important, it's you can't analyze like, I didn't know that starting a YouTube show for my wine business was going to be the reason that I was going to have a huge investing career. I couldn't see that. There's a million things I've done wrong, it's because I didn't do something that would have sent me somewhere else, but I have no idea, you don't know. You don't.
