Is Fame a curse? History of CTRL + ALT + DELETE, 15 Things from "The Lessons of History" book and many more...

Hi š Prado here
3 Things I thought worth sharing with yāall
1. Is Fame a Curse?
I recorded the entire Elon Muskās Clubhouse call and I created a video out of it (Watch here)
While I was editing the videoā¦ I spent some time putting myself in elonās shoes.
When Elon was asked about his opinion on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrenciesā¦ his first reaction was āI got to watch what I say hereā
Cause sometimes they can really move the market š
Hereās another story that most people donāt know about
In the same call, Elon says he gets his memes from a Meme Dealer.
Hereās what happened next
Within minutes someone took a $4,500 decision.
Elon tweets and market moves up. A friend of mine even created a website where it sends an email to you every time Elon tweets a stock (ElonStocks.com)
The idea behind me sharing this with you is that everything Elon says has huge consequences. The influence is so huge that it can move markets š People taking huge life and financial decisions based on a personās words.
What would Elonās life be likeā¦ where he has to watch every single word he says?
Where every word can have huge consequencesā¦ in both good and bad ways.
This week Jeff Bezos stepped down as Amazonās CEO and this was a question that I kept asking myself
If Jeff picked letās say Global Warming or Quality Educationā¦ with all his Business power, money and influenceā¦ the earth will be back to the pre-industrial revolution stage in about half a decade (maybe less) š and everyone in the world will be educated š
Back to Elon.
Is this fame worth it?
Let me tell another story.
I was helping a team out in Mumbai and I had some free time in hand. I went to a beach and I got to know that this is Shah Rukh Khanās house (Famous celebrity)
Outside his house, there is a beautiful beach and lots of shops (fast food)
One question that clicked my mind was
Has he ever In his entire life, after becoming famous came out and ate a plate of Pani Puri? or a Vada Pav?
Is fame worth enough to sacrifice freedom?
Freedom to walk on a street, eat a burger, chill on a beach, donāt have to worry about what you say, etc.
Wellā¦ I canāt answer this question for you.
We all have to answer it for ourselves š Is fame worth it?
