Are you going to need the same thing in the next 5-10 years?

If it’s not. Why are you so worried?

Things will happen or not. Just worry about things that really matters.

What’s your story?

Where did it begin? Where are you at that story?

Did you consider sharing with us?

Please tell us your story. Tell me, why are you doing what you are doing?

Don’t tell me what you are doing for a living.

Living…

Life without “a story” to share is really living?

Do something. Don’t settle. It doesn’t matter what you are doing but try something new. You can’t even imagine what new things will bring you new opportunities.

Put yourself in uncomfortable shoes and try to dance it. In the worst scenario, you can’t dance it well. At least you will learn what you can or not do the thing.

Does it really hurt today what happened last year?

Whatever really going on now to you will also be important next 5-10 years?

What is really worries you?

Start finding spare time to devote to your hobby or interest. Don’t expect your hobby to make you rich or famous. If that happens is great; if it’s not, that’s all fine. Because you are doing for yourself.

Let’s say you want to be a fiction writer or Youtuber to cover coffee shops around the world, don’t quit your day job to pursue your dream. Just do it for fun, for yourself. In the meantime, keep your day job to pay your bills and keep the roof over your head.

Every new place/city is like a school. If you don’t know anyone there and have no idea what’s going on. You are pretty much starting from the elementary school level. But a good part of this school, if you show good improvement, you can skip the classes in a couple of years. Still, some lessons need to be learned. They take time.

Great things about good schools are well known & accredited by globally. Such as if you have a Stanford master’s degree, you can start PhD program at Oxford without repeating your master’s degree. They respect and accept your hard work and degree.

It says so if you start from scratch in New York, SF, or Los Angeles, after 5-10 years, you will be fine to settle in other cities or countries. No matter where you are going, you are alumni of those cities.

Or, if you like your place (your school), you can keep studying and complete your all degrees and research and start to teach at the school. Now, your new position is Professor.

Start to create as little as such as you can. Anything you consume ask yourself, can I make this at home?

Start a podcast or blog. Even nobody reads or listens eventually it will help at least one person, YES, that’s going to help you.

Start making a longer-term plan. Don’t try to win every deal or argument. Let the others win with you.

Anyone who has an internet connection is now a citizen of the world.

You don’t have to travel all over the places to collect stamps on your passport to approve that you are one of those citizens.

We watch the same Netflix shows, we do celebrate almost all the major holidays. Everyone syncs up the latest news, innovations, and updates in a second on Twitter & Instagram.

But the question is, how much do we contribute to this global society?

Are we only consume like all other passive contributors?

Or

We are trying to add some value and make this world a little bit better place than we found?

Where can we start to contribute?

I’ll share my opinions tomorrow.

I wish everyone has a decent and big enough house. Maybe we should guarantee anyone old enough (30 ?) to have a home.

After that point, let the people do creative work. Not a job for buying the next house. 

Everyone is working for a house, at least in America. All the brainpower & talent are wasted on the stupid idea of “house owner.”

We didn’t came this life to have only goal to have a house in Palo Alto or Beverly Hills.
