The utility is your kids being raised. For example, it doesn't make sense to pay you to clean your own room. People get pay because they provide value to another person, not because they provide value to themselves.

I'm a fullstack developer and I started picking up more modern frontend frameworks 3 months ago. Has this person try to manage a large complex site with just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/Jquery? It's a mess, a complicated mess.

Unfortunately, I'm aging, so I can't be a vampire. Thanks for sharing. From a different perspective, your answer is beautiful. It tells me you love your kid very much. I hope things get better.

Once in a while I like to take walks with the intention of looking at the world with wonder. If I'm hiking I look around at all the trees and leaves as if I'm seeing it for the first time. If I'm in the city I look at all the

There seems to be a few comments on survivorship bias and luck. I want to address those. While, yes it takes a lot of luck to be at the pinnacle of success. Their advice shouldn't be discounted. No one lucks their way to the top of the

Luck is uninteresting to focus on. I undoubtedly believe luck influences many things. The majority of who I am is dependent on "luck." My gender, my parents, the country I live in, my childhood growing up, and even the name I iden

You can learn the basics of fitness and a healthy diet in a week. These are things that will improve your life in every way (mentally, physically, and financially). However, it is one of those things that is easier to learn than to apply.

Replace them with good habits. It's actually almost impossible to eliminate habits. Especially long-standing ones. The best you can do is avoid the cue or change the routine. I highly suggest reading "The Power Of Habit" or &

A few years now. I have another account that I used to use. I have definitely learned alot, but I can't specifically tell you what I've learned. I think HN and reddit is good for giving you perspectives. You often come across thou

Try making it a habit(Cue, Routine, Reward). After 3 decades on earth, I finally feel like I have a decent sleeping habit. Two things that worked for me, having a consistent schedule and creating a cue/trigger associated with sleep. I

It's totally okay not to have a "thing". In other words, not to specialized. Know the pros and cons of it though. Also, as a few other people point it out. Part of it is branding. Peter Thiel touches on it in this great inter

I don't understand why people think I'm against helping people. I'm not. I'm not trying to shame anyone. I'm simply saying, no matter your situation, do the best you can because that's what you have control ove

Let's define mental illness better. We don't lump all bumps, bruises, and broken bones into physical illness. Yea, it's out of touch to tell someone with broken legs to walk it off. But, if someone got the wind knock out of t

I know people are going to talk about income inequality, but isn't this obvious? That it's better to be richer? You'll have more resources and advantages. A common concept where I'm from is you work harder so you can giv

You sound burned out. I had a familiar experience a few years ago. I was extremely tired of my job. It wasn't a hard job, but I didn't connect with my coworkers. Also, I didn't find interest in what I was doing. So, it was so

Am I depressed? No. Was I depressed? Maybe. I don't know if I've ever been depressed. But, there was definitely periods in my life where I felt miserable for a long time (6 months to years). During these times-- I was listless, la

Stick to a Keystone habit. It doesn't matter what it is. Pick something that you can do every day. Walk a mile, read for 30 mins, wake up at 6:30am, or etc. The habit can be tailored to your goals. Then, make sure you stick to it. Do i
