I tell people this all the time. Degrees don’t always mean intelligence period. I’ve met plenty of educated fools, who can’t critically think.

“the world opens up for people who are decisive.”
you’ve just gotta go for it. whatever it is you want to do, go do it. the world opens up for people who are decisive. life is active and you can’t spend your time sitting around waiting for something to happen. you have to make the move. you have to be actively involved in the overall satisfaction of your life.
Have you guys seen that alo is getting ppls TikTok accounts banned for posting alo hauls or wearing alo and people think it’s bc they’re using ai to look for counterfeit items? 🥴

Reading some of the responses makes me realize how lucky I was despite the modest background. My parents were serious people, too serious for my liking as a high school student, but I get it now.

We have to control our own narratives.

Make your plan and execute it!

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't EVER stop reading.

No, but once she saw how the school was failing her child she should have pivoted.
The people sneering at Hannah-Jones for “sacrificing her daughter's well-being for political virtue signalling” are wrong.
There is nothing contemptible about living by your principles and trying to uplift your community.
Her failure was not moral but analytical. She thought the schools were failing from not enough money, parental involvement, or administrative attention—all of which she was in a position to provide.
If her diagnosis had been correct, her decision would have been laudable.
We have a responsibility as parents to be constantly reassessing the situations we put our children in no matter our initial motivations.
