A similar quote I heard "You can do anything, you just can't do everything".
I could have built that model plane for sure. The amazing part that's worth giving credit for is that someone did sit down and dedicate all that time to actually doing it

- pjc50 8y agoIn some ways this is the most difficult thing. By doing X you're inevitably giving up doing all the possible not-X things you could have been doing. The Internet makes this worse by showing you more choices which you're giving up.
- balabaster 8y agoOpportunity cost is huge... and the internet definitely compounds the feelings about that. I think the key is to find things that cause you not to care about the opportunity cost of everything you're missing because you're doing the thing you most want to do. Right now I'm at a point in my life where I'm seriously considering shunning all media, not just social media, but media altogether. The constant nagging reminder of the opportunity cost of things I'm missing because the choices I make pander to responsibility instead of fun and happiness while all those around me sink themselves into debt having fun is depressing. I have nobody to blame but myself of course, but the media constantly showing you what you're missing out on definitely doesn't help.
