i talk to people every day who are masters at filling out government paperwork

i have many close friends whose lifelong career perpetuates unjust and unfree market systems

how many people are wasting their life's productive achievement in pursuit of a meager paycheck?

too many

don't be one of those people

do shit that matters

Good advice I got from an MD when I started my career at Citi. I think he meant departments within the company though, not me leaving them entirely 😅

That's an interesting take. The weird thing is, though, that you often think something isn't worth doing or you're doing it just for fun until it suddenly sparks an idea only you could have thought of.

I started dabbling in computers when I was 11 and I was doing college calculus when I was 15. I turned down an offer from a University to be in their engineering program and an offer to attend the Coast Guard Academy.

I became a truck driver instead! I'm serious! 🤣 Adventure was my thing.

After 15 years of driving I built a website for truck drivers that became very popular and a very lucrative business for almost 20 years.

So my computer hobby and my truck driving adventure turned into the opportunity of a lifetime that propelled my life to a fantastic level. No one could have ever seen that coming.

Follow your passions and see where they lead. Work hard, learn, grow, and eventually you'll make amazing things happen.

Great advice
