We'd all like to think that but I'm not so sure. I really do hope so.

So you'd be happier in a world with no cars, planes, cameras, hospitals, phones, compasses, GPS?

Being different isn't only important to give you your own personality and style; in many ways, it's also very necessary. Because if everyone's trying to do the same thing (especially in business), it becomes unsustainable and over saturated. On the flip side, there are some ways that groupthink can be good too (like with formal education and technology trends), but overall it's better to be unique in most areas of life.

For women: If you were a man for a week, what do you think would be the biggest struggle? For men: If you were a woman for a week, what do you think would be the biggest struggle? This could be anything, related to dating, society, social dynamics, physical attributes, etc

BTW, You can also list what you think would be the biggest advantage

The point I'm making is, it's difficult for some men to be friends with women, even if they don't have issues making friends with other men. Just like it's difficult for some women to be friends with men. Just because you don't deal with the issue doesn't make people that do deal with it somehow deluded.

It depends entirely on the individuals. You need to support each other so the relationship doesn't become selfish. People can complete each other.

Not everyone in the world is just like you.

45% hostile, 0% benevolent More than i expected, honestly. Some of the people I respect the most in this world are women, like Moira Beckett (she is a writing genius).

I've only been posting one per day. I just missed a couple days so I posted a few at once.

It is helpful to remember the difference between a consultant (specific advice), coach (asking questions) and a therapist (mental health). They all have distinct purposes. I think I could really use a life coach.

Some very good points in here about skill building and long-term thinking. Whether as an employee or an entrepreneur, your success depends on how much value you can bring. By investing in yourself, especially with a focus on those soft skills, you build that value over time.

I love the emphasis on learning to love the act of practicing. A focus on those fundamentals is the key to mastery, even though they may seem boring on the surface. A great introduction to the channel and this topic.

@Lila9 Be careful, some of those are actually really empowering and positive beliefs to have. You just have to be aware of when they cross over into self-deception, which is possible.

Wow, great find. I might have to get one of these haha

Totally agree. It's mainly the potential that I find fascinating, and experimenting with what it can already do well.

@Leo Gura It can explain simple and straightforward jokes, but it has trouble with more subtle ones. And while it can write some creative song lyrics, they always take the same kind of bend, and can feel quite generic. It's still impressive for what it is.

Talk to some older people and realize that knowledge or consciousness does not equal wisdom. You don't know all there is to know about life yet, and this should excite you! There will always be more to learn.

Life is the greatest gift.

Well, you have to remember that there are certain things that everyone has to agree on to avoid chaos. For example, if everyone had their own idea of how traffic and driving should work, there would be constant accidents. Regardless of what your opinion is on the traffic system, you have to agree on it in order for the roads to be safe. But then there are other things, such as religion and philosophy, that aren't as directly practical, and people are free to have their own opinions on it. I think this is a difference that should be recognized in this discussion. Some days I am surprised that human beings can agree on enough for society to run as smoothly as it does!

It doesn't matter how many things you start, as long as you finish some of them. This is very true with writing especially. You're better off starting 10 writing projects and then only finishing 2 than starting none at all because of the pressure that you have to finish them all.
