☆ Motivational quotes from billionaires Mark Cuban, Bill Gates and Ray Dalio: 'You are never too smart to be confused'
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-05 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Even billionaires wish they could go back in time and give their younger selves some wisdom. That goes for three of the world's more popular business icons: Mark Cuban, Bill Gates and Ray Dalio. Each amassed their fortunes through entrepreneurship: Cuban built a startup that was acquired by Yahoo for $5.7 billion, Gates co-founded tech giant Microsoft, and Dalio created Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's largest hedge funds. All three of them have experienced the heights of success — and each has regrets about the paths they took to get there. For example, as Dalio wrote during a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" Q&A in 2019: "The big message I would want to have given myself is: 'Why are you so stupidly arrogant!?!'"

Drivers told Insider the tiny car is a "blast" to drive and perfect for driving in busy cities. AdvertisementAdvertisementJapan's best-selling EV is a tiny car that sells for just $13,000 — and drivers have told Insider exactly what they like best about it. "A smaller electric car is more sustainable and suits a lot of people's actual driving needs. I think that's at least partly why bigger electric cars, like Teslas, are not so popular here," he added. "I think Japanese automakers underestimated the appeal of electric cars here for a long time," he said.

☆ Panera Bread founder credits his $7.5 billion success to a simple tactic: Writing his own obituary
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-03 | by ( Ece Yildirim | In Ecedyildirim | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Ron Shaich spent roughly two decades building Panera Bread into nationwide behemoth, ultimately selling it for $7.5 billion in 2017. The Panera co-founder, 69, credits that success to a simple practice, which he did — and still does — once per year, he tells CNBC Make It: writing a "pre-mortem." Between Christmas and his December 30 birthday, Shaich dedicates a day or two to visualize himself at the end of his life, he says. He writes a news story, obituary or journal entry from that hypothetical future, looking back on his own endeavors, listing only the most important accomplishments. Then, he maps out how to get from his current state to that future version of himself.

One of the 31 Democrats who voted to spare George Santos explained why. Rep. Jeff Jackson wrote on Reddit that he's worried kicking Santos out before an ethics probe finishes would set a dangerous precedent. Rep. Jeff Jackson, a TikTok-savvy freshman lawmaker from North Carolina, wrote on Reddit that he didn't vote to spare Santos because he thinks Santos should remain in office. "The better precedent is to expel members only post-conviction or post-ethics investigation," Jackson wrote in a Reddit comment. In an unusual statement, the normally private House Ethics Committee said it would announce its next action by November 17.
