Some people are born lucky, some aren't, it's just a part of life. Nature plays more of a factor in your upbringing than you realize, I've seen people from wealthy households that glorify street life and being a criminal, and I've seen people from poor households succeed through preserverence and determination, you ultimately are premade in some way shape or form.
Yeah, these types can afford glorifying it and dig it because, like their parents, they're sociopaths, sometimes they're dumb as shit but most times, they're also smarter than average, like their successful parents. So, watch out! Being industrious doesn't get you ahead on it's own merit. Intelligence does, which is mostly genetic in the up direction but can be influenced by upbringing in the down direction and hence, can be lost, if not trained. By your mid 20s you will noootice the natural cognitive decline kicking in but no one openly admits it, boomers talking about it are just paying lip service to their old person larp, it starts way sooner. To that end, if you are stuck in a rut but still young, avoid working dumb jobs at any cost, prefer taxi driving over amazon picker, if you have to "grind" for
reasons. Otherwise, you WILL dumb down, avoid working with stupid people in low positions, it can and will rub off on you, again, taxi driving or front facing service jobs over working construction with the booze bros. This seems counter intuitive but there are almost no smart blue collars guys left - not saying they're retards, they may have been sharp in their youth and now they have "experiene" but none of the jobs really jog the noggin in the long run, it's a wrong turn. the guys you think are cool when you are a kid, have been at it for decades and made their journey man at ~27 when others are doing their masters. Don't fall for writing mundane shit, like orders down, if you still can manage to go by memory or at least only do it for safety but try to remember everything. else you will find yourself writing more and more down over the years and ind addition to you being lazy, dumb people tell you it's a "good habit" or outright force you to. Not good. (I don't mean recording evidence, as mentioned above) Dull shit is the mind killer, I learned that the hard way by falling for le "a job's a job" meme.
Edit: I didnt' mean journey man. I meant the one after that. There is one after that in the u.s., right?
Edit2: I really can't do it with much less shitting on the working man but it's the farms anyway, so take what you like from it. Get that noggin joggin. Hang with smart and interesting people.
