Surround yourself with relentless humans. People who plan in decades, but live in moments. Train like savages, but create like artists. Obsess in work, relax in life. People who know this is finite, and choose to play infinite games. Find people scaling mountains. Climb together.

Hanging out with one person with botox?
Hard to tell.
Hanging out in a room full of people with botox?

In 2010 the University of Phoenix generated $4.95 Billion in revenue; $4 Billion of that was from Title IV funds (pell grants and federally-backed loans).
It had a six-year graduation rate of 9%.
The online program had a 5% graduation rate.
It's still eligible for Title IV.
