From Sam Altman: "Adjusted for the subjective increase in how fast time passes, life is half over by 23 or 24. Don't waste time."
I'm 36 and this hits different because it's mathematically true.
When you're 5, one year is 20% of your entire existence.
When you're 50, it's 2%. That's why childhood summers felt endless and last year feels like it happened yesterday.
I can barely remember last month. But I can still taste the Kool-Aid from summer camp when I was 8.
Your brain literally experiences time differently as you age. The novelty fades. The patterns repeat. The days blur together.
Which means every year after 25 feels exponentially shorter than the year before.
Most people realize this too late. They spend their 20s "figuring things out" and their 30s climbing someone else's ladder, only to wake up at 40 wondering where the time went.
"it went by in a blink"
If you're under 25, you have more subjective time left than you'll ever have again.
If you're over 25, you have less time than you think.
Either way, the math is brutal and the message is clear:
Time is sacred. Relentlessly your ideas. Seize the day.
I look at it as a fire underneath me. As a good thing.
Time keeps us honest.
Happy building, I'm rooting for you.
Credit repair companies offer to “fix your credit,” for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
We sent a DoNotPay employee to interview for jobs at credit repair companies to figure out how they do it so that we can automate it and replace them.
This is what we discovered:
Lovin’ all the costumes today! It's weird seein’ yourself everywhere. Kinda like Being John Malkovich, but with more khaki and less John Malkovich. Which is a shame ‘cause nothing's improved by subtracting John Malkovich. Uh-oh. I'm saying Malkovich too much. Malkovich. Malkovich
