It was one of those places from the outside, everyone wanted to get in, and from the inside, everyone wanted to get out. I was in a quarter life crisis in my mid 20s. Why did I end up in this, what did I do?

I just followed the track and I wasn’t thinking about why I was doing things or what I was doing. The tracks are not working anymore. I think they worked better in the past, they stopped working for gen x, and they work even less for millennials.

It is more important than ever to find something you’re interested in and motivated to do. The generic advice I have is not to be overly competitive. The tracks force you to compete. You need to find something where you’re not always looking at the people around you.

You need to have some other reference point. There’s a religious example; the first commandment is “There is only 1 god.” The last commandment is “You shouldn’t covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

We need to find some way to look up, and not around. When we look around, it's not that we have figured out what we want to do. It just ends up being the hyper copycat mimetic crazed environment. We need to find some transcendence.

It’s always tied to capital (how much you can make). If you don’t play the competitive track game, then good luck making money. Some folks pull it off. Entrepreneurs. Others wannapreneurs and can only afford ramen before they develop cancer from bad diet &’stress

Awesome tweet storm! The tracks certainly don't work anymore! Everything has changed, and we owe it to our kids to figure out the best path for their future, not spout what worked for us.
