The ability to say I don't know

 Many smart people know a lot of facts, but they are very unhappy.

I know people who are half as knowledgeable and live fantastic life.

It's all about the focus. A long time ago I heard the following phrase. Would you like to be happy or would you like to be right?

You might think that all the knowledge gives you happiness and the fact that you can state it to others how much you know. But sadly, this costs you your happiness.

I am still fascinated about the people who watch all those game shows, but I know better that having the right knowledge focused on the right activities is way more valuable than having encyclopedia knowledge.

So sometimes, by saying no and focusing on your own things is way more valuable than wasting your time by watching and reading so many facts.

The domain x.com pointed yesterday to a page with one character “X”. Today it redirects to the twitter domain and soon we might see the dead of the bird and the birth of the symbol “X”. This change will be followed carefully and we can all learn from the mistakes Elon Musk will do during this transition. He already is very famous with the mistakes he did during his first weeks in the company. Can the company survive such a transformation is another open question? There are already some competitors like Mastodon and Instagram very own Threads. But the vision of Elon Musk is to turn this app more like WeChat, the Chinese mega app that combines many features.
