Let me try and make sense of this: freedom and opportunity to succeed is good, but entails possibility of failure, which is bad.
You're saying you don't want the freedom and opportunity to do either when in your late 40s and beyond? Or are you saying that you want to have the opportunity to succeed, but not to fail, when you're in your late 40s? Didn't you just say that's not possible? I'm confused...
- alex_c 18y agoI honestly don't know how I will think in 20 years - that obviously depends on what will happen between now and then. What I'm trying to say is that as people get older and have a family to support, they might get more risk averse, and begin to prefer safer options (which likely involve less freedom and opportunity). The cost of failure then is much higher than the cost of failure now.
