    My old 1-5-10 year plan is a graveyard of broken promises.

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    I think for me i am "winning" each moment - but playing the wrong game. I've made choices to further my career, health, kids, etc. But I lost track of the dream I had 5 years ago. Last night, I "chose hard". The next few weeks or months will be hell. But after that I will live a bit...

    Thanks for this. I know you are right. I've actually come back a few times over the years but shiny object syndrome or a small roadblock are the standard excuses for abandoning an idea. This time I have the first draft of a book written. An actual scalable product. I have no doubt the book...

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    If the "me" from 2021 could have seen me today, he would be extremely disappointed. Seeing the list of unfulfilled promises was bad enough. Even worse was my instinctive reaction to start making excuses. to give myself a pat on the back instead of facing reality. * I was raising kids...

    Was it luck?????

    INTRO 
    Did he choose that school because it was one of the few with a computer? If so, I wouldn't call it luck. Likewise, my current employer has been very good for me as there have been lots of opportunities to grow.. but I chose to work there for that reason. From the outside it probably does look...

    Career progression now identified as the Slowlane, whodathunkit?!

    INTRO 
    Slowlane is wealth in a wheelchair. With a 200k job you could create serious wealth through speculating, investing, etc. Not to mention you can go your own way and start a consulting firm for something like SOC2 auditing or SOC2 readiness. Career maxing is severely underestimated , if you have...

    Career progression now identified as the Slowlane, whodathunkit?!

    INTRO 
    There is a lot of growth potential in cyber, I wouldn't write it off as a dead end just yet. $61k is ground floor. Where do you want to be in 10 years? You could have a head of GRC role, CITO, CISO. Would you still consider career progression slowlane if you thought you could be on 200k within...

    MINDSET

What don't you like about the job? What could the company do better to get the best from their employees? Dont know...

    Existential Thoughts: Change My Mind

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There are people whose full time job it is to think about these things. All we would do in a thread like that would be quote the experts :D After thinking more about Lex's problem, one solution might be to "choose" an axiom he agrees with somewhat that starts at the end, i.e what would be...

    Existential Thoughts: Change My Mind

    HOT! MINDSET 
    How vain you are to think you know better than all the generations of ancestors that persevered through a life much harder than your's for you to exist. Just read Plato or any other classic from 2000 years ago and you will know that we are no smarter today than they were back then. IQ is...

    Believe it or not it does take brains to come up with such a bleak worldview .I know you know that already. I used to think the only people dumber than me were the ones having fun, cos they didn't see how pointless and miserable everything is. By socializing, I mean leaving the house and doing...

    Sounds like the self talk I had as a teenager. Are you the oldest son too? Most of my issues resolved when I got a girlfriend. You need to socialise more to clean up your perspective - you arent as smart as you think you are.
