This is what my parents taught me: 1. Love & honor God. 2. Get married and have kids. 3. Stay true to your spouse. 4. Teach your kids to have faith in Christ. Teach them to respect their mom, how to work hard, be respectful and to be honest in their dealings with others. 5. Don’t do drugs or alcohol. 6. Continuously learn and seek truth. 7. Be humble and confident. 8. Be generous, accountable and responsible. 9. Find joy in service to others. 10. Make sure your say/do ratio is working. Too many preach a whole bunch of stuff that they never do themselves. Lead by example. If you do these things, it doesn’t mean hard things won’t come into your life, but you will find strength to overcome challenges and live a happier, more joyful, life.

Every AP Top 25 team, next to what its roster costs. BYU: No. 2 in America, 39th in spending. Texas: No. 19, most expensive roster in the sport. Who's getting the most for their money?

When Kyle Van Noy (@KVN_03) got to Minnesota this September, he took the entire Vikings defensive line to dinner. He didn’t wait for his new teammates to figure out what he was about. He showed them. Kyle is a linebacker in his 13th NFL season, a two-time Super Bowl champion and a Pro Bowler. He’s also been the new guy seven times across six teams. He joined the Vikings on the practice squad after training camp had ended, even though Baltimore had treated him as a starter. He spent his first week listening instead of talking. Within a month, after 1.5 sacks in his first three games, he was on the active roster. His lessons cut both ways. For new hires, take it all in, accept that every organization has its own pecking order and let your results speak. For the people doing the hiring, the advice is just as specific. Early in Kyle’s career, when he was battling injuries and labeled a bust in Detroit, Calvin Johnson invited him over for dinner. Kyle still remembers how seen that made him feel. For founders and managers bringing someone onto a small team, his most practical advice is about clarity. Don’t sugarcoat your standards. Write down what a good first 30 days looks like and hand it over on day one. Then help with the life outside work: schools, trusted mechanics, favorite restaurants. The faster a new hire’s life is in order, the faster they can focus on the job. Read more: entrepreneur.com/business-ne…

Kalani Sitake has now won exactly twice as many games as he has lost: 90-45. He won his 90th game in the sixth game of his 11th season as BYU head coach. LaVell Edwards won his 90th in game in the sixth game of his 11th season as BYU head coach.

“And God, not ourselves, belongs at the center of our lives.” — Arthur Brooks

We're constantly encouraged to pursue more possessions, prestige, and power, believing they'll make us happy. But when things become what we love and people become what we use, we've got the formula for a good life completely backward. Things are meant to be used. People are meant to be loved. And God, not ourselves, belongs at the center of our lives.

Life's hardest moments shape who you become. My brother Brandt Andersen (Hollywood producer: Lone Survivor & Everest) on why he no longer runs from hard things: "No great sculpture's been made out of clay. They're all made out of stone." "I don't run from the things that are hard anymore. When I get stuck in something hard now, I'm like, 'Let's do it.'" "And I had to climb my own way out. But having done that, I'm now good at getting out of it."

This is incredible. Becky shielded little 7 year old Saylor Graham who is non-verbal and in a wheelchair. One of the bullets wen through her arm and hit Saylor in the face, another hit Becky’s hand. Without hesitation this is what Becky did to protect Saylor, that’s how you know she has a huge heart. Becky has survived and Saylor has survived her surgery. The road ahead won’t be easy for Saylor but she is alive and a determined girl. Thank you so much for your bravery, courage, and selfless actions Becky. I know we all are very thankful you helped save Saylor

A bet against Elon is a bad bet. We are literally living history that will be talked about for generations to come. Thank you, sir.

when it comes to last weeks favorite, this one speaks to me…

Incredible Elon! This will be the largest philanthropic gift in history! 70 M accounts - every citizen under 18 & every child born forevermore now has a free, lifetime investment acct making them an owner in the upside of America & our greatest companies! 🇺🇸🚀🤍@TrumpAccounts @InvestAmerica24

It was an HONOR to be out in Provo.. It felt SPECIAL on that campus #PMSLive

The car industry had a century to build an electric car people actually wanted. It didn’t. The aerospace industry had sixty years to make a rocket reusable. It didn’t. The telecom industry had decades to connect the billions it couldn’t profit from. It didn’t. One person looked at all three and started crossing them off. Reusable rockets that land themselves. Electric cars that outsell their gas-powered rivals. A satellite network that beams internet from orbit to any point on the planet. A platform where speech is no longer filtered through a handful of editors. A chip inside a human brain that lets a paralyzed person control a computer with their thoughts. And now a car that flies. Six companies. Six industries. Each one operating at the frontier of its field while feeding engineering, data, and capability back into the others. The rockets fund the satellites. The satellites fund the rockets. The cars train the robots. The AI runs them. The platform keeps the conversation free. The energy powers all of it. People keep waiting for him to fail. They have been waiting for twenty years. The rockets were supposed to explode. They land on boats. The cars were supposed to be toys. They outsell everyone. The satellites were supposed to be impossible. They connect six continents. The brain chip was supposed to be science fiction. It is inside a human skull right now. At some point the pattern stops being luck and starts being something the critics are not equipped to recognize. Not because they lack intelligence. Because the framework they use to judge what is possible was built inside the institutions that couldn’t do what he does. The conversation about Elon Musk has never been about Elon Musk. It has been about how uncomfortable it makes people to watch one person accomplish what entire industries organized themselves to attempt and never finished. History does not produce this combination often. The drive. The technical depth. The pain tolerance. The willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. And the insane ambition to attempt all of it at once. Every one of these technologies would have arrived eventually. Reusable rockets. Electric vehicles. Global connectivity. Brain interfaces. None of them violated the laws of physics. But eventually can mean fifty years. And fifty years is the difference between your grandchildren seeing it and you seeing it. The most overlooked thing Musk has done is not any single invention. It is how much of the future he pulled into the lifetimes of people who would have died before it arrived. Earth does not get many of these. And the people still betting against him are making the same mistake every industry made before he walked in and did the thing they said couldn’t be done.

Elon is going to get a lot of these 🥹🚀🇺🇸

Time it took to reach a $1 trillion market cap (from IPO): SpaceX: 0 years Tesla: 11 years Alphabet: 16 years Amazon: 21 years Nvidia: 24 years Microsoft: 33 years Apple: 38 years

Incredible!

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

😭❤️ **HE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST GIVING AN OLD MAN HIS SHOES. HE HAD NO IDEA GOD WAS ABOUT TO USE HIM TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART.** In Maricopa, Arizona, 18-year-old Jordan Hope was on his way to the bank when he spotted an elderly man struggling to walk along a busy road with a walker and shoes that were falling apart. Jordan didn't know his name. He didn't know his story. He just knew the man needed help. So he pulled over, took the shoes right off his own feet, and handed them to the stranger. Jordan stood there in his socks. He later explained, **"I just felt like God told me to go over there."** But God wasn't finished with Jordan that day. He went back to check on the man, affectionately known as Mr. Roy, bought him his favorite candy, and took the time to sit and listen. That's when Jordan learned something heartbreaking. 💔 **Mr. Roy had lost his wife just TWO WEEKS earlier.** Imagine spending a lifetime loving someone, only to suddenly find yourself navigating the world without them. Jordan could have wished him well and gone about his day. Instead, he arranged a ride for Mr. Roy, followed him home, and stayed for hours just to keep him company. And he didn't disappear after his good deed went viral. He continues checking on Mr. Roy, and a fundraiser has raised thousands of dollars to help the grieving gentleman with everyday expenses. They're even planning to attend church together. ❤️ Jordan is just 18 years old. No political agenda. No cameras he knew about. No expectation of applause. Just a young man who listened when he felt God calling him to help a stranger. And perhaps the most beautiful part of this entire story is that Jordan thought he was giving away a pair of shoes. **But what he really gave a grieving widower was a reminder that he hadn't been forgotten.** Jordan said it best: **"God interrupted my plans for that day to carry on His plans."** Sometimes God doesn't send an angel with wings. Sometimes He sends an 18-year-old boy wearing socks. 😭❤️ **God bless you, Jordan Hope. Your parents raised one extraordinary young man.**
