If you're in your 20s/30s, just imagine I'm grabbing you by the collars, shaking you up and saying out loud: APPLY YOURSELVES! Forget what anyone's telling you about work life balance - there is no goddamned balance! We are genuinely entering a very interesting techno and capex cycle that will permeate into society in very, very permanent ways. You are one of the luckiest generations - perhaps as lucky as the Americans in the 60s w the post war boom, and, to an extent, the western world in the 90s w the internet. Take the opportunity, do the hard hours. If you're athletic, apply yourself into sports. If you're a brainiac, get into research. If you love hardware, there's nuclear, drones, rockets, robots! Software & AI, enough has been said. Solar, Mining, Cancer research, materials, environmental, it's all starting to pick up. APPLY YOURSELVES - punch with your full body, not with your arms. Get obsessive, go deep, learn the hard stuff - not just surface level, but pick a lane and punch through walls. If you like money? like fame? Want to have impact? Or just join a big wave like many Googlers did in the early 2000s and spend a decade helping create a behemoth? It's all good as long as you stay committed, and... apply yourselves!
