You are going to get older anyways, it's better to get older trying to achieve goals, and failing (in the process learning and becoming a better version of you)

You are going to get older anyways, it's better to get older trying to achieve goals, and failing (in the process learning and becoming a better version of you), then just sitting around feeling sad for yourself. I would also not spend time looking at the current state of the world for validation, there are those who achieve contrary to expectations and normalize it, and then there are those who look at the status quo and decide that they just can't do it. I suggest everyone try to be the former and not the latter.
