His autobiography came out nearly 25 years after he left Edison employ. What's more likely,: thar tesla was too stupid to know he was getting played after decades, or that he wasn't getting played?

Thank you, much needed.

Sounds like hell. I hope you go to a better place when you die.

I start doing shit and in the process I'm like OK this could be done and now I cleaning my whole apartment. It's hard to start and hard to stop.

There are numerous occasions where Tesla also criticizes Edison's work approach. And the whole Current War, Tesla was very much against Edison's vision of the future (it was highly inefficient)

I really love this

He worked for him, and upon meeting him thought he was amazing. Edison invited him to America afterall...but it was years after in the service where Edison's exploitation became apparent.

But then what if I promise myself to only do that 1 dish I only really feel motivated to do that 1 dish and afterwards I just don't want to do anymore dishes and I stop doing the dishes?

This is an actual serious question no joke I would like to know

I think that present you have to do something about it ;)

Whenever things get tough I roll my balls around in my hand. Don’t stop keep going

Depends heavily on the scenario/relationship. Wearing sweats to a funeral is incredibly disrespectful to the family. Wearing sweats to the grocery store is disrespectful to ?

He will find the way that will work. Meaning, he'd continue to steal others' ideas until finding one that would work. Not a good choice for a motivational sub.

I appreciate reading this. Sometimes I have to kick and scream my way out of bed.

I don't give a f*ck about the social contract!

Future me is an asshole, he keeps spending all the money I make.

Yep sold and good night

“You don’t understand our American humor, Nikola!”

"Fuck Edison."

N. Tesla

Thank you. Going to start applying this trick right now by going to sleep.

Same actually

But present you is the only one who does what you want, right? Let the rest of those b*tches deal with their own problems.

Woah. 🤯

Hey, same here! Present me is lazy AF but she's the only one who does what I want when I want, so screw everyone else.

I think about this regularly when my brain is resisting doing something! I usually combine "think of how happy future me will be if I do this thing" and "come on let's just do a tiny little part of this task to get it started and if we don't feel like continuing it we can stop" (spoiler alert: once said task is underway I almost always end up following it through 'til completion, we love momentum!)
