Thank you. I needed this.

I grew up wanting to do art. Now I’m on the cusp of 40 and barely feel inspired enough to touch art but the yearning is still there. :’(

Such a good quote. Side note, I watched that show recently for the first time since my stoner years and WOW is it weird
superfeathers
#15 my favorite. It stands out from all the other feel good self-motivational quotes I see. Shines a light on very real human instincts
Quid739
Just fyi, these 'very real human instincts' are cultured.
superfeathers
Instincts can be cultured, doesn't mean they aren't still there. Just a matter of how well trained out of you they are.
Quid739
Then I doubt the behaviour witnessed in #15 is an instinct at all; rather it arises from the culture wherein this takes place.

i, too, suck at things.

Goddammit, my novel's day untouched for a while. Fine, big baby. I'll get back to it

I feel that, been working on a novel since highschool. I have the whole thing planned and put together. Just a matter of putting down words.
NunyaBNess1
You could maybe use a co-author? Someone who's good at writing but has no ideas?
Green11ndys
My writing isn't the issue, I love writing. I just have to set aside time to actually do it.

I've been called a mechanical genius many times. It's no easier for me than anyone else- I just put a lot of time and sweat into my work.

I get asked how I now sdtuff so often, I'm tired of saying, "I read."
Acc87
I'm in the modding scene of a game... everyday I read people asking for specific content, but "learn it yourself" isn't the answer they -

- want to hear. People these days want a single button solution for everything

Some folk need a teacher though, not everyone can learn on their own as well

I can't do math in my head, I can't remember much of anything, but I sure apply myself.

we try to help and teach. Most just decide it's too much work and never try. heaps of tutorials and guides around.

I learned how to unicycle this year. It didn't take as long as I had thought it would.
LlamaEaters
Nice
tinybluedot5
great job! that’s awesome.
funkmoth
Hey, thanks! I still need to learn how to idle but that's a bit of a trick.
tinybluedot5
Oh interesting! So it’s easier to move than be still? That makes sense I guess

The gyroscopic effect of the wheel turning keeps you up. It's the same on a bicycle, it's harder to go slow than fast.

Oh it's going to be a while. Still on A Minor and my fingers are shredded. It seems like half of playing guitar is building calluses.

My brain when I ask it "What if it all works out?"
Green11ndys
Instead of "what if" I always told myself I know for a fact "it will be" fine again in the future, just a matter of time.
Exeloume
It's a learned behaviour that your brain dismisses any positive thought. It may take time, but it can be unlearnt. Not having that voice 1/2
Exeloume
in your head telling you you're poo all the time is amazing. I know that being told you can get rid of it seems impossible, but you can. 2/2
tinybluedot5
I actually find it helpful to think about the bad outcomes. Anxiety is a lot of “but what if this happens??!!” but if you actually think
tinybluedot5
through all those bad outcomes, accept them as possibilities, and think how you’ll handle them, it doesn’t seem so bad. You’ll realize the
tinybluedot5
really terrible outcomes are very unlikely, and the less terrible ones are manageable
quibblery6
I do the same. I brace myself for the worst, then I'm either right and prepared for what comes or I'm pleasantly surprised by being wrong

I think in that situation he had bought like an old bar or something near a college campus? I don’t know the story, but impressive (to me)

You have no idea how easy sometime you can borrow money. We fear banks cause we were taught to. MC is a smart dude and saw it early. 1/2

I started my own company 3 years ago and only now I am about to make money. We are tought to never ask, shame if you do. Well, start asking.

Ang “Jobless House Husband” ouch gender roles.

Damn I thought house-spousing WAS the job!
BiggestofBears
Did he have kids? Definitely could have just said stay at home parent. That's a job. And it's hard af.
LittleKnownOne
Well, only women are afforded that title/credit. Men must be producing for society or they are viewed as worthless.
unsolicitedadvice
The role is underappreciated by lots of ppl regardless of gender. A housewife becoming a CEO would be considered remarkable by many, too.
koflan
He's referring more to the tone of "jobless house husband", vs something friendlier like stsy at home mom.
MissJezebel
1/2 Yea, the implications of that one are weird. So, Harrison Ford was a carpenter into his 30s. Well, what if he was a carpenter his entire
MissJezebel
2/2 life? Would that mean he was “lost” or a failure somehow?
startedfromlurkingnowimhere
No, but the commonality is that they changed careers and were later successful. Not to say that their initial careers made them failures
DukeSamuelVimes
Also a lot of these people seem to vary between hitting the celebrity standard to success to ascending from levelly successful high business
DukeSamuelVimes
acumen professions (especially sales fields) to high level entrepreneurs. And I don't even know what a "finance guru" is.
deekermans31415
Get rich by charging other people for advice on how to get rich.
DukeSamuelVimes
Yeah, that's what I thought but didn't want to say.
pizzapartyhard
Ray Kroc is also on there. Sure he became successful, by being a scumbag...
OverpricedCrayon
I think to become rich like a lot of CEO's you have to basically be evil. Stab people in the back, steal, lie, cheat, indirectly harm others
pizzapartyhard
Take this with a grain of salt, but from what I’ve heard most successful business executives are literally non-violent psychopaths.
TheUsernameOfTheCentury
You just have to be responsible. Procrastination isn’t an option so that part is hard.
OverpricedCrayon
Ive heard something like that too.

And the rest of those are all set up by 30. So fuck those of us in our 30s right?

I am 39 and about to make real money. Start somewhere, we learn in the process, not the planning or "what ifs"?

maybe if you didn't waste all your time/money at bars?
foresthillsbob
I didn't make any real money until I was nearly 50. Start a business, working for others will not make you rich.

That’s awesome. What business did you start?
giordanom
Friend of mine went to law school at 42, graduated at 46, got a job at a high-end firm, makes like 190k a year.

It's not like "and then he became a billionaire" but he went from truck driver to lawyer.
giordanom
Everybody told him how much of a waste it was, how firms only hired 20somethings, most people were partners by 30, he too old to do the work
giordanom
but he could and did. And yeah his boss is like 29 lol, but who gives a shit. All those haters still humping packages for 30k/year.
