People in all countries get the loans in different creditors, just because this is easy.

@Malan He’s not saying that life is filled with disappointment and failure. He’s saying that if you expect success in life to be as easy as a five-minute montage, you’re going to be disappointed and probably fail. If you realize that it takes many many many hours and days and years of hard work to accomplish something, you will be more willing to carry that thing out and stick through the rough spots.

So you spent 30 hours telling young people, myself included, that life holds nothing in store for us but a grotesquely large number of epic disappointments and fails?

I’m assuming that by now, you feel like you’ve ‘made it’. You’ve got a hardcover book in stores. That’s awesome. Well done.

But what, is there no sense of accomplishment to share? No self-actualization? I’m always in favor of a shock to the system, a dose of bitter reality, a burp in the Hollywood Happy Ending credits, but seriously, you have to offer your readers some sense of closure. Some sense of inspiration. When you were doe-eyed and wet behind the ears, when you were 22 years old, fresh from college, what would you have needed somebody to tell you?

I get that it’s part of your cred and your rep to be inyourface, upfront, straightforward, and kind of merciless in your worldview. But I hope you don’t shit in my face when you respond, and that you treat it with some respect.

Regards

Malan
