For some reason, many people will hate you for even trying to make the future better.
Stay focused on your vision, and don’t focus on comments or articles about you. Find good people around you that can give you valuable input instead.
Casual people are a plague.
I don't want to hang around unserious people. Give me the person with dreams so big they make others uncomfortable when they say them out loud. Give me the person who spends their weekends obsessing over their craft. Give me the person who doesn't get jealous when those around them are winning, because they're winning too. Life is too short to play it cool, give half effort, and accept mediocrity.
Your 20s are spent figuring out what trust fund babies had figured out when they were kids.
The difference is they had successful parents, mentors, and connections guiding them.
You have life kicking your ass, bad decisions, and expensive lessons doing the teaching.
In my experience, you make 100k and get jealous of the guy making 200k
Then you hit 500k and get jealous of the guy making 900k
You hit 900k and you get jealous of the guy making 2m
If it’s not all cash compensation, you’re jealous of the guy making all cash
If it’s all cash you’re jealous of the guy who got stock at a company that has grown a ton in the last year
You will always find someone to be jealous of. When you die, your dollars won’t come with you.
