> but it says very little about life in general. But you said it yourself, we can never know the absolute truth value. I say let go of what life truly means, and enjoy the process of iteratively improving your own perspective. Humans

Your posts always resonate with me, thank you, but I particularly need to hear this one. I will not call myself exceptional, but I often find fitting in almost impossible. Finding a niche and owning it is then survival! Although I'm ve

Damn that's hard. Thank you for sharing. Best of luck to you and your family - as optimist, I hope that your dad can find peace soon.

Well, I'm not sure if I'll ever have the wit and guts to hustle my way to that circle, dunno if I even want to in the first place. But there's truth in "it's who you know, not what you know" so ya, feedback-loo

On the other hand you could start experiencing imposter's syndrome. In any case, it's not easy to get that golden ticket for such circles, let alone maintain your rep once there!

Reading about success might create a feedback loop to yourself so that you feel more motivated and possibly more guided to get to success. Kinda like hanging out with games enthusiasts, and you gradually become one yourself?

Love for solitude is a great gift, I think. I used to be stuck between introversion and extroversion; on one hand I did things better on my own, on the other I sought validation from others, all the time. Guilt only amplified this problem.

That's an awful spiral. Correct me if I've misunderstood, but this is caused by bad neighbours? If this is really the root, take the leap and move out! Perhaps you can try flat-sharing next. I live in a rural town, which I love (c

This was my observation too. Actually you see this ethnic-based clustering with others too, but it's just that the Chinese stick out more cos yes, there's usually more of them in STEM subjects. They're also not afraid to open

I love that this is not just audio-narrating articles from some of my favourite magazines. I adore the Kevin Spacey-esque tone! What happens if some of these magazines start releasing their own audio version? I do remember that some Atlanti

A while back, the Guardian wrote a piece about their annual expo: "Everyone is feeling good. Employees weave through the crowd with trays of probiotic juice. I decide I like the Goop expo. It is silly, but most of us seem to be in on

I think we are also conditioned to not trust China. Certainly in the U.K. coverage about China is always negative, from dog stews to mafia-styled political stories. And of course the fact that China is gobbling so much and so fast ... Aliba

Well it's certainly made me pause when I saw HN's fancy grey header. That's perhaps the intention. Raise awareness first, then come together to do something. It's gonna take lots of days of action over the years to gain

Not related to startups specifically (unless edtech?) but I highly recommend Metalearn for personal development. It's interview-based but that's what I like about it!

Okay let's play this game. Let's accept that women are indeed more emotional creatures. (So tempted to get all sarky with "wide-eyed" and "fragile" but onwards.) Now what's wrong with being emotional? Even

Sorry but this still bothers me. I'm not going to wade into the gender war so let me put it this way: we are also 'different' in other ways, so misunderstanding is generally not just down to one factor. So is it right to just
