Sometimes, you're going to get overwhelmed in life. Not a big deal. Welcome to planet Earth. 
Relax. 
In fact, I was reading an interesting book, which talked about the predictors of success, and they referred to high school, and they basically found that the biggest predictor is the "the cool kid in class," 
And they don't mean cool, like who wears the best clothes. It's cool under pressure. 
Like I said, sometimes, we get messed up because we have this expectation that life's supposed to go smoothly. 
Let's say you want to build a business or you want to make money... Some people think it's just a sequence, like a simple puzzle you put together. That's not planet Earth.
Planet Earth is a world where if you can stay cool under pressure, things eventually fall into place, but never quite as expected. Don't forget what planet you're on. You're in a world where physics is at play, a world of diseases and sicknesses and bad people, and so it's just par for the course, par for the course. Stay cool. Stay cool under pressure.
Stay Strong,
Tai

Hey Tai here, Sometimes it's hard to find somebody to help. There's a lot of need out there in the world. The way I look at it, in the world with all the suffering, you've got to earn the right to drive a Rolls Royce by making sure you give back. I gave $500 to a homeless man and his dog once and he thanked me by saying  “there is a God.” Now some people would probably say he might use that money for drugs and alcohol, and there's some truth to that, but I don't know. At this point in my life I don't feel like it's my place to judge everything, figure everything out, and try to help. Some people use it the right way, some people abuse it, but for the people that do use it, at least people didn't hold back giving because of the people who do abuse it. You know what I mean? Plus with that guy, I kind of have a soft spot for dogs. He's got his dog, and hopefully he buys some dog food, vet bills. You know I feel like animals are a lot of times helples...

Being a nice person is going to get you a lot further in life than being an asshole. Let me tell you this, 9 out of 10 top tier entrepreneurs you’ll meet are the nicest people around. Where you’re going to run into jerks is right below the high level guys. Mid-level people. Everybody says,  "Oh, people at the top are fake.” Trust me, they’re going to be some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. To succeed, you have to be likable, and being aggressive and rude is very dangerous. Here’s why: If you’re an asshole, you’re gonna attract like minded people.  It’s a downward spiral. If you're an asshole to people, all the good people around you leave. You're left with assholes, who then do bad things to you and then you become more of an asshole. Part of the reason why so many successful people are nice to everyone is because they’ve already made it. They really don’t care about beating others. They’re only concerned with what they’re doing, and too busy to listen to ot...
