Can confirm, got straight A's in HS with no effort, played CS and Dota all day and still got laid. Went to CC anyway bc parents said if I saved money going to CC, they would give me the money I saved. Put 30k into crypto and stocks, went to UCLA and majored in CS, half assd the whole way through and got 3.8 GPA and focused on fucking girls/making connections. Got an internship at FAANG, got hired once I graduated. There for 5 years and now am a Staff software engineer. Have 400k in stocks and crypto. Also a chess champion and film maker. Everything I've done in life has been easy and led to success.

That being said, my best friend was a poor student, teachers told him he was fucking stupid and he suffers from major depression, yet he's the only person I'm close to that can beat me in chess. Every time I talk to him, he says shit in a way I could never think of. He's a truck driver.

Success is an illusion, if you feel you need confirmation to feel good about yourself or that if you achieve something, you'll be happy; you will never be happy. Find out what's important to you and chase after that.

I can't believe they would put this ad up. What did they mean by this?
