Majicman Notes

So that’s why it’s important to take risk when you’re young because as you get older, you have more downside risk. So you’ve got nothing to lose at your age, you take the risk and you can massively screw up, and nobody is going to hold it really against you unless it’s fraud or something like that. I mean you take intelligent risk, don’t take stupid risk.

You’ve you got 1 million mistakes to make in your life, what would you do? You pull them all forward to like yesterday, get them all out of the way when you’re ’19, ’20, ’21, and in theory, you’d never make another mistake, if you could. So how do you do that?

Well, you’ve got to widen the aperture massively at the beginning. And then as you learn, you bring it in. That’s how I think about it. And then that’s also, by the way, not coincidentally, had a great way to find your passion, too.
