    Neither choice is "correct." I've seen people who commit to clubbing and partying for decades, and it's working for them.

    Greetings from ex-corporate rat from Poland

    INTRO 
    Take a look at Accent reduction, accent modification, speech instruction, New York City: Confident Speech I took accent reduction classes from Everett Leiter when I lived in NYC. He absolutely focused on the pain points. When you came, he'd make you read some text and notate all the errors you...

    Hello from Austria

    INTRO 
    Not to say IQ matters, but Brian Tracy (speaker/book author) related an amazing story of some guy who lived an ordinary life, had basic jobs, not expected much, then ended up enlisting in the army. The army tested him and found he had very high IQ on their tests. So, the army agreed to take him...

    male to male frienships guidance

    Rule #1: communication skills are improved through practice. With different people, not with the same person. Ideally, in different situations, not just, say, trying to sell (but that helps still). Rule #2: Comfort comes from being successful. Success comes as a result of improved skills...

    When is an exit financially justified?

    INTRO 
    Health is important. If you get a major health problem, you can spend the $33k very quickly. So, if the impact on health is significant and you aren't overthinking it, consider finding another job asap. Or talk to a doctor how to lower the impact. Maybe get a doctor's note and ask the employer...

    My days with discipline in korea, And it`s process from past

    INTRO 
    Can relate to much of the story. Both the hard upbringing part (not as hard perhaps, but harder than many others) and the part about studying all kinds of things. Don't underestimate the idea of choosing a direction. Say, trying to become a great philosopher (for real). Then you can figure...

    RANT QUESTION 
    btw read "The Founder's Dilemma" on equity. The best advice is to not divide equity until getting experience working together, and even then use all the usual tools like vesting.

    My Story So Far: Breaking From the Script

    INTRO 
    Consider still finishing your degree if we are talking another year, unless it's very expensive. Of course, it comes with a risk of getting a job and becoming complacent. On the other hand, you'll need a source of income while working on your dreams, which may take a while. Also, btw, not...

    I'm new here, I run a very meme-able and well-trolled side-hustle that I'd like to turn into a full-time business

    INTRO 
    Interesting! It is not clear from the post if your offering is also one of deep personal work or if it's only what you are doing for yourself. From my personal experience, deep personal work such as trauma release doesn't scale well. Even though money may be exchanged, it is a gift of one...

    How My Personal Trainer Built a Six Figure Business In Less Than One Year

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    In my experience, many good personal trainers (martial arts teachers, dance teachers, gymnastics teachers) don't need the fastlane. They are already living the dream, or they have already lived the dream. The idea is just to have a good income to comfortably enjoy that dream; there's often no...

    Quick introduction

    INTRO 
    Well, I've had somewhat limited success, but learned a thing or two. Outsourcing sounds good in theory. I tried a small experiment whereas I bought a domain, outsourced an acquaintance in India to build some software for it, and then resold it (for a higher price, but I lost money after all...

    Dan Martell's online mentorship course

    GURUS 
    Have experience with this type of group. It has value if $1-$2k is inconsequential to you. The main value is that you get to meet a bunch of random people who are pre-selected (because they paid $1k-2k) and can just have some ideas for you. Some companies also offer curated mastermind groups...

    Quick introduction

    INTRO 
    @MoonSocks this sounds like the kind of project you can raise money for if you have the right plan and can gather the right team. You should still start working on the project, namely, map it out, look for the team, etc., but then after 6-12 months you can start looking for investors. Somebody...

    Should I start and launch my app or start a SaaS with my brother?

    IDEA 
    There are frameworks for evaluating ideas. I can't find the book right now, but you should consider not only how promising and timely the idea is, but also the resources available, and if your background and your situation give you certain advantages for pursuing one or the other idea. If you...

    Struggling with the "employee mindset"

    IDEA FEEDBACK RANT 
    @WannaB from my (somewhat similar) experience: - over-specialization is the natural consequence of staying for a long time in the same career. It is not very useful for entrepreneurship, unless you find the right co-founders, but even then if you lack a broader skillset, you may not attract good...

    Is there need for privacy Chatbot software "PersonalGPT"?

    - AI - 
    It's not a possibility. Hate to say that, but even trivial smart contracts have significant computational costs because they are decentralized. LLM inference has high computational costs. You'd be looking at $1000000s per LLM prompt if you are lucky (more likely $1,000,000,000s with a decent...

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    The biggest issue is, the size of the cup. What people call "small" in the US is actually a lot. If you drink it for pleasure and not for addiction, learn to enjoy a small amount.

    INTRO 
    "AI" comprises so many things including generative models (LLMs, generative models for images, video, sound, etc.), predictive analytics (which can be using neutral nets or GBMs or more traditional stats) -- and forecasting a time series is very different from estimating if a loan will be...

    MINDSET CHAT QUESTION 
    Yes, certain medications and certain nutritional deficiencies are known to lead to depression . It's generally a good idea to do a full blood panel if you've never done it before and save this information indefinitely. This includes a full allergy evaluation for all common allergens.
