In school, if you're a great writer but you're bad at math, you get a math tutor instead of an English mentor. And people wonder why students feel inadequate. Maybe we should stop coaxing mediocrity and optimize for specialized individual skill. What do you guys think?

Truth doesn't exist. It's impossible to distill every relevant nuance and consideration from the human experience to form every opinion. If more people understood that their worldview is made from selective pieces of an unattainable whole, the world would be a kinder place.

If you’re struggling to be authentic on camera, try filming with a friend. It’s almost like an authenticity-check when you have someone who KNOWS how you behave to hold you accountable from switching up your personality.

Create once, distribute forever. If you’re building a portfolio or online presence you NEED to recycle/redistribute content to other platforms. It’s a lot easier to turn the same article into one video, ten TikToks & a dozen Tweets than to make 24 unique things.

@RealEasonWu The thing is, with Elon's tweets, sometimes it's not as clear that it's a joke. In my opinion, financial advice should be taken with a grain of salt regardless of how genuine it is, but a lot of people are getting mad because he doesn't really clarify whether he's joking or not

A lot of people don't like to try things without expecting a return on investment. We think we have to choose a path and stick with it our whole lives but it's often just as easy to decide we went the wrong way, turn around, and go a different direction.
