formula for success

part luck + part privilege + part hard work + part talent

Luck and talent cannot be controlled

Privilege can be influenced or bought

That's why we focus on hard work

But if we don't succeed, it's not always because we didn't work hard enough

And actually it's almost always luck

86 units shy of a stupid degree

I don't have a marketing degree, so I work harder than those with one.

I don't have that piece of paper to point to when people ask for my qualifications so I've built a body of work that I can point to instead.

Work that I've poured my everything into.

Work that shows bottom-line improvement numbers because I don't have grades to show.

When I take up a project I put my back into it because I know that if I fail people won't attribute it to market conditions, budget constraints, or bad luck but to my lack of a marketing degree, formal education, and theoretical knowledge.

skipping months

Allow yourself to forget things

be irrational

It's irrational to want happiness while knowing about all the fucking world events and personal tragedies

But there's no other way to achieve happiness

You cannot keep the events and tragedies aside. You have to live with them. And by being irrational about it, by still wanting to be happy despite those things, you'll get happiness

It's rational to worry about finances and parents, be irrational and be in the moment, and think happy thoughts

Fear is the rejection of reality based on illusions/ irrational reasons/ faulty perceptions
