A note to my two year younger self

● social mobility happens in rare cases, and that's how nature is built, resources are scarce.

● you are not different from others, at least not in terms of intelligence.

● dont take advice from everyone, you have seen more than others because of life experience. u are probably better in predicting the outcomes.

● some strategy that worked for others will not work for you, there are n variables in the games.

● hedge well, dont go after what you can't afford.

● u meet the right girl at the right time, u were lucky.

● be more professional at work, have clear boundaries between work and personal life.

● differentiate well between friends and acquaintances.

● u are not obligated to maintain friendships, u can choose to maintain some based on vibe.

● your parents will get old faster than u think, spend more time with them.

● very content you consume has hidden agendas, the creator is trying to sell u something.

● exercise more, i am unhealthy now because of that.

● people are in delusion, they dont comprehend the reality of the world.

● u are weak in literature/arts, u will not be able to write average stuff.
