@internpierre I know plumbers and electricians that make more than my former classmates that are investment bankers at Rothschild or in PE… after tax the comparison is honestly sad.. if they were in the US individuals of their talent would be unbelievably prosperous…

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

In college, everyone tells you to savor the moment and that you will never be this young again
You hear it, perhaps even nod along, but it doesn’t quite register. The illusion of youth feels infinite, untouched by time and an endless road
Then a few years slip quietly by. Life begins to demand more of you. You slowly start to understand what people meant when they said that
You tell yourself that you still have time. You will come back to do all the things you promised yourself
Just one more challenging project at work, just one more promotion, just one more birthday, and you will get to it
Then one day you wake up and half a decade or decade has passed by, and youth feels like a dream from a generation ago
Over the years, the one lesson I have learned is that life passes you by extremely fast. If you are waiting to do something, go act on it today
