Survivors bias. 1 success doesn't invalidate the hundreds of crash and burns that you never hear about.

Failure is apart of growth. A crash and burn is only a set back when approached from a broader scope.

Crashing and burning is way easier when you have generational wealth to soften the blow. A crash and burn is lethal for people who are a paycheck away from homelessness and drowning in debt.

I mean, yeah, but this advice isn't specific to "quit your job and come work for me"

It's a setback if you don't like being on fire, which I'd wager is most people.

So what's your point? Never try to improve your life? Never jump at opportunity? You're not guaranteed to succeed, but you're guaranteed to fail if you don't try. The only people I know who haven't improved their life are the people who never tried.

I'm not saying any of that. Stop your aggressive straw man.

I'm not saying any of that

So what are you saying?

If you lack reading comprehension, I don't know what are you doing here then. I'm not responsible for your bad faith imaginary online arguments.

Oh, and I'm the one being aggressive and arguing in bad faith. Sure bub. Have fun with your attitude, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're 1000% the attitude. I'm blocking you.
