Do not try to be friends with your co-workers. Yes, sure I DO have a couple legit friends from previous jobs, it happens but most of these people just want to complain about everything and get u caught in their own bullshyt and now you are stuck in the gossip.

Work is much more relaxing when u just keep to yourself. :ahh:

U ain't lying

Yeah. And the thing is...it’s funny how you see the same things from different perspective when u age. I didn’t see the dynamics at play when I could have capitalized on it the most (high school)

One other thing I noticed. People who are among the exceptional. Very rarely do they not have direction by their mid teens. Don’t listen to people..when they tell you you got time to figure out what career path you want to have. Yeah. Maybe for the AVERAGE lifestyle, but the true winners almost always know what lane they are in by 16. Whether it’s money music puzzy whatever. I knew I was in trouble when I was out here at 23 like “wtf do I wanna be when I grow up :dwillhuh:

:mjcry: where did u go from there

Most people of all races are two faced.

Never to get involved in another man or woman's relationship because it almost always ruins friendship. Y'all can cheat on each other and stay in an extremely toxic relationship if you want, I'm staying out of it.

Never eat or drink at a random restaurant unless you can literally see them as they make your food or have access to their kitchen and storage. Most restaurant is a food hygiene disaster

Being alone is far better for your health and sanity than being in a relationship with someone who nags constantly and relentlessly.

Success and promotion at the workplace is much more dependent on personality and being on great terms with the right people than being competent or hardworking.

Never take any reviews of places,movies,restaurant etc as gospel. I have been left disappointed too many times "but everyone told me this movie was amazing:francis::mjcry:" each individual's opinion is unique. I have had horrible experiences in places with hugely popular reputation (Paris, Tokyo) while having a great time in some unpopular destinations (Moscow)

I notice that
Age does not equal wisdom.

I've met too many folks twice my age who are useless in life. Made me realize that you could hit age 90 and still know nothing.

But I listen to their tales because sometimes you learn what not to do.

-----------

I should have fought harder in high school for myself. Feels like I'm playing catch up and I'm 27 :francis:
Why u say that?

That I'm probably never going to be that dude. 26 :mjcry: Feel like I'm getting to old to chase the prime 18-21 puzzy. Didn't get a chance to do it when I was that age either :mjcry: Now I'm just about that money but the time I get stable I might be 27-28 :mjcry:

It's never to late to be the dude you think u can be.

That sometimes the great money and benefits from a job are not worth the stress and bullshyt that comes with it...esp as I'm getting older and more than ever want to simplify things in all aspects of my life..esp the professional part
Clap

Yeah you CAN make 100k doing oil rig construction in North Dakota and shyt. But is it really worth those problems.

There’s a cutoff point at some level the stress should go toward building your own brand. Just my virgin 2 cents

:mjcry: where did u go from there
Programming, design and sales

It paid off. Can’t believe it was only 3 years ago that I had the skills to do minimum wage work and that’s it...with a kid to take care of

I’m actually at the day labor place now about to slave over here for 12 hours , $100 waiting for my first real check next week which is around $2800...all remote. Never see an office. I love it.

It’s sad how you can be in the position where you are dying to do work like this for so little money. I look around here, it’s as if people here don’t even realize how much they are being ripped off. 9.25 for moving heavy ass furniture around for 12 hours...fukking ridiculous man...and it’s not like I make THAT much but damn:mjcry: glad I’m almost out of this hole brehs. Free daps & reps for erybody :blessed:

If a white man has the american flag on their house or porch, or a picture of the flag painted on their car or truck, yet they do not have an immediate family member in the military, they are most likely a racist.
I would look at some of these people side ways before last year but Kap and MAGA’s leader exposed this and they will forever be cemented in history for doing so...WATTBA :wow:

Most people have no real ambition and sometimes I envy this, they’re happy with where they’re at and meanwhile I’m as unsafisfied as ever because I’m aiming for that “next goal”

Easier said than done: It’s best not to give a damn what others think about you, because at the end of the day, if you’re good being you then nothing else should matter:yeshrug:

If you’re not seeking continuing education in some form then you’re wasting god’s gift :francis:

You get it bruh, it’s been a journey trying to put myself in position to get a decent paying remote gig. Once I get the programming and automation down pat, I’ll be on my way to working from home or wherever I feel like as opposed to being tethered to a cubicle all day :wow:at an office
