>the burn of "hey, I just wasted my 20s working on some project that didn't really go anywhere" is an incredibly painful pill to swallow, and perhaps something you never fully come to terms with.
But it's a thousand times less painful to swallow than the one that goes "I never tried to live my dreams".
It's a thousand times better to try and fail than to never try at all. THAT is what life is all about.
- sigi45 8y agoIs it? Minecraft and co did the one in a million. Everyone else did not. You hear very very rarely from them. While they did something without results, people around them have a house, family, holiday and money for retirement. For sure believe in your dreams but try to evaluate what you are doing. There is a tremendous amount of crap out there no one needs or wants and behind that crap there is all story.
- redisman 8y agoSome people value different things. It's also not that hard to find a job which allows you to buy a house etc, when you can show how much hard work you can put in to a product. At least in the games industry these people are revered.
- colordrops 8y agoI spent more than 7 years on a failed company. And this was in my 30s, let alone 20s. My friends around me are all wealthy with paid off houses. I am not. But I traveled the earth, had crazy adventures, and was able the parlay my experience into one of the most coveted jobs on earth and am now nearly financially caught up with my friends after another 5 years. It was a struggle, but it was worth it, and I have no regrets.
