Lot of mid 20s dudes here acting like their lives are over after 26-28 and it makes me laugh every time
You have no idea what I’ve been through lmao
You can reinvent yourself 3 more times before 35 if you wanted to. Sack up and get out of your feelings.
Just do things and do them well.

it's true that the window of time to achieve your ambitions gets shorter with every passing day, but it's never truly over for you regardless of your age or situation if you choose to keep playing. the torch is only extinguished when you choose to put it out of your own volition

If you’re a young man reading this right now, pay attention.
There is a saying, “Youth is wasted on the young.” and it’s describing the fact that YOU rn have no idea how good you’ve got it, because you’re in it.
A fish swimming in the ocean doesn’t know it’s wet. It’s never had anything to contrast it against.
YOU, being young, don’t remember what it’s like being old - and squander your youth.
Right now, you have no obligations. No wife and kids to look after, no mortgage, etc - your tolerance for risk is stupid high rn AND you’re in the physical prime of your life. You have testosterone pumping on overdrive, metabolism fast as fuck, able to get away with cheating sleep, you recover like Wolverine and can basically abuse your body with little relative consequences.
So why the FUCK are you not serious?
YOU HAVE UNLIMITED ENERGY.
What are you using it to do?
What have you accomplished?
Jerking off and playing video games?
You gay sissy.
Right now the two skills you should be honing like a motherfucker are:
- the ability to resist distractions and focus
- your capacity for discipline and commitment
The reason you are a loser is because these two above qualities are completely absent in your character:
You’re a loser because you are an undisciplined person with weak commitment muscles; so you flounder around, never stick to anything long enough to see if you’re talented at it, let alone long enough for any meaningful progress to develop whatsoever. You give up at the slightest sign of struggle. You’re disorganised, your life is a mess, you constantly arrive late to everything and yet you wonder why you feel like shit and why nobody truly respects you. A mystery.
You’re a loser because you can’t focus for shit; lets not even talk about how much time you spend on absolutely useless time wasting shit every single day, your attention span is shot to shit and your dopamine receptors are completely fucking fried to the point that you genuinely struggle to focus on something for more than 5 minutes uninterrupted and you wonder why you don’t get anything done. A mystery.
If you’re being honest with yourself — you are not operating at even 5% of your potential.
Get your shit together.
Become a man of pure focus.
Become a man of utter discipline.

Find people that have what you want.
Work for them, learn how they do it.
Then recreate it by yourself.
Ignore all the hustle bros on social media.

You have no idea how quickly and drastically your life could change
if you went ALL IN.
and it doesn’t have to be some big hustle grind bro thing
but just simply setting your standards for what it requires and doing it day in day out - getting done what needs to get done and then enjoying your life
Setting tunnel vision on ONE goal for yourself work wise or the thing that is your mission
finding the key lever(s) that move the needle there and every day cranking at it for 4-6 hrs of focused and quality effort
making a sweep of all outstanding admin tasks for 30-60 min each day so your brain isn’t bogged down for that 4-6 hours
giving without expectations
finding people who are ahead of you in the work you do and figuring out what you’re missing, honestly auditing where you’re falling short
getting your health and fitness in order
eating 1 lb lean animal protein for every lb bodyweight
filling out diet with fruit, quality carbs like potatoes or rice, mixing in some dairy, vegetables, etc no bullshit inflammatory food
getting as much sun & natural light as you can
walking & being active as much as you can
lifting 3-4 times a week
getting intense cardio a couple times a week
doing some sprints/jumps a couple times a week
sleeping well for 7-8 hrs a night
staying away from consistent drug use (alcohol, weed, etc)
getting ur mind and spirit in order
taking time to learn something new every day and get better at ur craft
reducing time spent with people who pull you away from who you want to be and drain ur energy, spending more time with people who pull you towards who you want to be and increase ur energy
getting the thoughts out of your head, writing, creating content and art, fully expressing who you are into the world
trying new things, going new places, taking the leap to get out of your comfort zone
finding hobbies and experiences that get you out of your head and into the present moment
talking to God, expressing thanks for the things you have, living in the energy of how you’d feel if everything went the way you want
Nobody has it “all figured out”. The people who win just show up and do the work more consistently than the people who don’t
the only thing stopping you from doing the same is the unwillingness to recognize this, stop looking for a shortcut, and do what needs to be done

You can learn the second one first but unless you have enough capital to invest it is best to focus on making money.
🗡 retweeted
Rule of thumb:
If you struggle to make money while you’re awake, don’t buy things to make it while you sleep.
Make money first.
Investing comes second.
Crawl walk run.

my career trajectory was never linear. i always had doubts and went back and forth with weighing different paths and options due to FOMO of different areas
web dev was my first passion then quickly i wanted to make mobile apps cuz my friend made money off of his apps
in college i started doing AI for research which lasted a while but i ended up taking a full stack SWE role
i almost switched to being a front end engineer during my first job but my peers stopped me (thank you to them)
i finally switched to a MLE but was trying to work on core models and training before finally stopping and settling down with ML ops and infra
idk what your journey looks like but its really fucking normal to try a bunch of different shit. although a caveat is that you can’t even try different things if you don’t have the curiosity nor talent
i was curious about too many things in my earlier career but that also led me to learn so many different things to p competent levels
the journey never ends, although i now know my area of focus in engineering passion i still am figuring out what to do with this
that’s the beauty of life — the journey
