In school skill and hard work is generally rewarded. But in the real world skill only matters up to a point. After that it's more important who you know and whether they trust you

Don't procrastinate and go over scenarios and dreams in your mind too much. The first step is difficult if you're thinking of trying a new project, going to your job or even doing exercise but just going for it and then getting it done without the mind playing out that movie first, is often the way to open doors to fulfilling a goal. We regret what we didn't end up doing more than what we've done.
Academia is trap / Ponzi scheme (especially in niche subjects / discipline where you basically can only continue with the academic career), only those really at the top benefit.

Prof (easy life) > Post docs > doctorates > students > undergrads
And often what you are taught has little to no overlap with what you do in the industry later on..
Yea picture is a bit darker than it probably is but PhD really felt like a waste of time
Even today, it's a bit hard for me to lower expectations. Work, relationships, life in general. I learned that even if everything is going well, there's a chance of failing. Enjoy the good moment, prepare for bad ones. And read between the lines, the untold truths.
Every job requires some cleanup once it's done. Even when you think you're done, you're not actually done - you need to pack away your tools, clear temp project files, etc etc.
I consider death a blessing (at least, in some circumstances). Imagine having to live forever, until the end of time. I would consider that my worst irrational fear.
That not everybody is a good person. Although, I still think most of them are good :)
Most people are unwilling to put in the work.

Thankfully this kind of bullshit is less relevant in many high tech companies where skill still reigns supreme
big facts, and that you cant work your way to wealth necessarily. you have to own your way there
That I'm responsible for saving myself.
I feel like I learn everything the hard way though lol
I presume this isn't literal but I imagined you racking up a huge lunch tab somewhere.
😳 let's just say it was a breakfast buffet that got a little out of hand

I read it before, but I'm still "amazed" by how massive the scam is, and it's running bigger and bigger.

Always set healthy boundaries, because many people love to take things for granted.
There exists only 2 types of people
Those who are humble
and those who are about to be humbled.
Alas, the humbling will be multiple decades or even generations for many

Learning through experience is the best method. You can theorize & study for years, but nothing beats actually "doing" it

Patience
During COVID, I realized that 50% of the population will turn on you under certain circumstances. This was an excellent lesson.

enjoy life and all its turns!
Experience in a specific subject is the beginning of the next internship. Cultivate!
Don't ignore your CHECK ENGINE light.
lolll i imagine quite a story came from this
Trading is not east money.
Timing the btc market is not for everyone. If you want to buy and Hod, just dia DCA and forget about the price.
No free lunches, everything has a price and karma is real
yesterday's friends can very quickly turn into enemies when they are under the influence of a fearful and divisive narrative.

Trusting people is the hardest thing in life. We should be very careful with it.
The grimness of death
I don't think it is death itself that is grimm. I agree that the process of dying can certainly be.
I consider death a blessing (at least, in some circumstances). Imagine having to live forever, until the end of time. I would consider that my worst irrational fear.
Don't take time for granted and especially don't take time with the people you care about for granted.
needed to hear this one years ago!
Don’t chase girls that look like Playmate of the year candidates… You might just catch one!
The only certainty in life is that there are no certainties, except for this realization.
Therefore, enlightenment can be heavy shit.
The only thing I absolutely must do is shit and die, but not particularly in that order.
If there is nothing after death, it per definition, can't last long.
Normal is the most absurd word.
With any luck, none of us really "get it."
I hope to think it is a blessing that we are doomed to look for answers to unanswerable questions.
If life gives you lemons, sell them for Bitcoin. (This last one, I think Rick or Lommy from CryptloCloaks thought up...)
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
bitcoin can NOT fix this
true
The only person you can really rely to is only yourself, same goes with trust.

That is bleak. I'm sorry you seem to have that experience. I do sincerly hope and still believe this is not the case for everyone.
