Nah man, you're right. When you're a kid you see adults as some kinda authority figure but then you grow up and realize it's all just bs and no one has any idea what they're doing most the time.
Now... Apply this logic to the politicians you elect and feel either blind or very concerned.
Actually, politicians aren't even trying to do anything good. They're bribed and black mailed and working for nefarious people who want money and/or to harm others.
Or they're just in it for the opportunity to rip off money from the regular populace.
Got that right.
yup
I used to read books like that when I was a teenager. Now I realize that someone who put a book together isn't really that different than me, and actually, I could do it. The book might not sell very much, but I could be the one putting the print on the pages.
I'm 40 and I look back at the decisions I made when I was 30, and I see how little I knew. If I knew then what I know now I would have made four times as much progress in business & life in the last 10 years.
However, when I was 30, I remember looking back at when I was 20 and thinking the same thing. And it wasn't untrue then either.
This makes me wonder what I will think when I am 50. I feel confident at the moment that I am doing well, but am I going to look back at what I am doing right now, and shake my head at how much time I am wasting?
If you're not looking back at your former self and thinking of how stupid you were, then you're not making progress.
