Telegram founder Pavel Durov makes a lot of headlines not only for his wealth of $17 billion but also for his special lifestyle. Powell is the richest man in Dubai, but it is very difficult to believe this after knowing about his lifestyle. Actually, Pavel lives a very simple lifestyle and is very fit. But the question arises that how does he live his life? How is his lifestyle? What does he eat and what doesn’t he eat? If such questions arise in your mind too, then this news is for you. We are going to tell you about the lifestyle secrets of Pavel Durov, which he revealed in a conversation with Lex Friedman.
Powell revealed that he has strengthened his mind by staying away from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, medicines and intoxicants for almost 20 years. The special thing is that he had taken this decision in his childhood itself, long before becoming a billionaire. Let us know what revelations Pavel made.
Why did Pavel stay away from alcohol?
While narrating a story from his childhood, Pavel exposed the reason behind his staying away from alcohol and drugs. According to him, when he was 11 years old, his teacher gave him a book named The Illusion of Paradise. In this book it was told what happens to the body after taking alcohol or drugs. He said, ‘When you drink alcohol, the brain cells become paralyzed, like it happens in a zombie. Some cells also become dead and never recover. He believes that if the mind is the most valuable instrument of your success and happiness, then it is not right to harm it for short-term fun.
When Powell was asked why people do social drinking, he said that often people drink just to socialize with others. Powell gave advice to such people and said, ‘Don’t be afraid to be different. Make your own rules. He also said that drinking alcohol often hides people’s fears or problems, which they do not want to face.
use the phone very little
Nowadays, people spend more than half their day on their phones. People say that both his work and entertainment are related to the phone, but despite being the richest man in Dubai, Powell is different from them all. He uses the phone only to test the features of Telegram and he did not even have a phone during his college days. Powell believes that phones can distract us from our real needs. He says, ‘Finish your work, the phone just disturbs you.’ By using phones less, they are able to concentrate better and contribute more to the society. Pavel says he likes the peace in the morning, which he spends sleeping and thinking.
The best ideas come in the morning
Pavel told that good ideas come to him during his morning daily routine or during exercise. The special thing about this is that this is the time when he has not seen the phone even once. He says that if you start the day with your phone open, ‘you become someone who is told what to think throughout the day.’ The interesting thing is that despite creating one of the largest social networks in the world, he remains away from the phone. He promotes genuine human connection, but admits that his approach may seem a little different or strange.
