THREAD: Most advice is garbage
Here's some advice you shouldn’t listen to on startups, careers and life:
“90% of startups fail”
If you’re building a startup for the money, please quit
You’re probably better off working for FB or AMZN and rising the ranks
A successful startup isn't just about the valuation. It's about impact on your team, the world and yourself
The journey is 🔥
“You'll sleep when you’re dead”
If you don't sleep, you'll BE dead
Sleep is crucial to a happy mind and body
Without sleep, you become "foggy drunk", unable to take control of your life, startup or career
Beware of hustle culture and sleepless nights
“Become a doctor, lawyer etc”
This is probably some of the most undercover toxic advice parents can give to their children
The internet has opened the doors for anyone to become anything
Discover WHO you want to become before you decide on WHAT you want to become
“Don’t talk to strangers”
- You can't make lifelong friends if you don't talk to strangers
- You can't really discover who you are if you don't talk to strangers
- You can't get the benefits of the internet without talking to strangers
BE CAREFUL, but please talk to strangers
