Telegram founder Pavel Durov has shared that he has gone twenty years without alcohol, tobacco, coffee, medication or drugs. According to him, this lifestyle choice is key to maintaining good health, mental clarity and high productivity.
«If you want to reach your full potential and maintain clarity of mind, stay away from addictive substances. My success and health are the result of 20+ years of complete abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, pills, and illegal drugs. Short-term pleasure isn’t worth your future,» he wrote in a recent post.
Durov stressed that brief moments of pleasure are not worth sacrificing long-term opportunities.
He also referred to a post from 2017, where he listed several things he avoids to feel better and stay focused: alcohol, meat (but fish is okay), medications, nicotine, caffeine, drugs, fast food, soft drinks, sugar and television. The entrepreneur believes this way of living keeps him feeling “great and healthy”.
Kursiv also reports that all of Pavel Durov’s biological children will receive equal inheritance rights.
