My rule for my kids is that they can have anything else, but what they need to have at all times is a plan.
I don’t care if their long term plan is to be a NASA scientist or a desk jockey or a farmer, they just gotta always have the next step for how they’re making that happen at the very least conceptualized, and if they can’t figure that out, they gotta look for something they can make a plan out of.
I want my kids to grow up happy, but they also gotta have a roof over their heads and I won’t always be around for them to provide that.
Side note for anyone interested, the dad is wearing an Animation Guild t-shirt.
Once Elon Musk was asked about how to find inspiration to continue forward in the difficult field of space exploration.
His response was that for anyone who needs inspiration, they should just go do something else, because it’s a hard enough field that it won’t be possible for a person who doesn’t have sufficient intrinsic motivation.
To quote elon on lemmy you have to be brave
A long time ago he did useful things before the brain rot set in.
Just because someone is a twat now doesn’t mean we should erase all their past achievements.
Not really. He just bought his way into all the positions of power he held. He didn’t create paypal, he didn’t create Tesla, he didn’t create the boring company, he didn’t create SpaceX, he didn’t create Twitter. The only marginally useful thing he did was throw money at things.
Wait, i am supposed to have a business and make money?
How? It’s not like i am going to show it to anyone, mine is freaking ugly and the more expressive, the worse it gets.
I believe with all my heart that in a world where something can be art and literal trash at the same time, there is a niche for you.
