Work out what he did that made him successful and do more of that.
Work out what made you unsuccessful and do less of that.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking it's too late to change. It never is. Just do better each day, change one habit each week, etc.

Don't be lazy.

Anon, I suggest you pursue something that plays to your natural talents. I’m able to have conversations and have deep technical skills so I honed my technical skills and now I’m in sales. You need to move with intent and try to plan your future. You need a 1-3-5 year plan with a mix of personal and professional goals. Take a grease pin and write them on a mirror so you have to read them every time you look at your fat ugly loser face. You sad sack of shit. Fuck you, honestly. You thought you could just skateboard and play guitar while millions of dollars fell into your lap? You think you could float along through life and society would figure out your path for you? Don’t worry, here’s your course correction. Asshole.

>>21046792
Sounds like you're an anchor and him dumping you was the best thing he did.

>>21046792
Remember the Law of Attraction. Whatever made you become friends with him in the first place is bound to bring similar things into your life. Start by doing things and thinking differently.

Thanks anon best advice

Why did you guys have a falling out OP? Also, don't compare his highlights to your everyday life, you dumb nigger.

Rodney Dangerfield was essentially a loser until he was well over 40. The success he enjoyed was rather fine. Don't ever "wait" for "it" to "happen", make goals and push with the cock ya' got.

kek, what faggots the both of you are. Bitches aint shit nigger, don't you know? 3 damp holes made you lose your friend?

>>21046792

>>21047426
It was complicated. Things were getting rocky up to that point but that moment is what pretty much stopped contact between us entirely. Looking back it was fucking stupid and trivial but we were in our very early 20s and didn't know better

>>21046792
You should’ve sucked his weiner back in the day. Maybe he would help you if you ate some of his prodigal cream

I don't give a fuck what "achievements" other people have. For me to retire early and have complete freedom is better than all the little medals they could pin on you.
Escape the system and you'll see how bad these people have it

My boy is wicked smart though. Did a physics and maths double degree for the hell of it. Did some other degree in something crazy because he enjoyed university so much. Im pretty sure he's genuinely loving life, nobody who TURNS DOWN a career as a military chopper pilot is having a bad time, i would imagine

Did you get bullied by skaters when you were in high school?

>>21046792
life always give 2nd chance, dont give up easily, challenge yourself, and you can even become better than him!

I lost my normal job, failed many things attempted, was utterly depressed, but just managed to hung around until a better time comes, and this bull run has been very kind to me

hopefully wont make same mistakes, and will have a better life going forward.

just keep improving everyday, even a tiny bit, just hang around until your time comes good one day!

>>21047586
That’s his life skills. What about yours? FUCK! Stop comparing yourself to others! Your life means you make it the way you want. You and him are not the same. God damn you, child brain. You don’t compare because it’s a race to the lowest common denominator. It’s a mark of immaturity.

Money is the scoreboard. Time and experience is the scoreboard. He’s winning because he has more ON THE BOARD. You squandered the first half of the match. Plan plan plan. Maximize the relationships you have with people. Keep better company. Cut dead weight from your life. Only you can control your attitude and actions but through thoughtful engagement with people you can influence them. Spheres of influence, look it up.
In 6months, if you stick to my advice, you will meet someone from your past life, and have a marker...did you grow or did you stay the same?

>>21047897
What if you like murder?

>>21048187
Oh I was bullied. Really put things into perspective and I honestly credit some of my success to it. It’s a natural check on men but you and those other soft dick faggots in this thread never learned the value in fighting back, proportional escalation, and direct confrontation. I’d rather be hyper than hypo but growth is understanding that you must be balanced. You have to be reflective enough to see when you’re off kilter.

>>21048473
As someone on the other side of the fence I can agree to an extent. I used to be pretty torturous to people in middle and high school. Everyone comes back to a point where you have to figure out who you are. Karma has given it back to me. All we can do is look in the mirror and try to be a better reflection next time around

>>21047269
this is funny but sales sucks nigger dick you could've thought of something better

There is nothing worse than sales people anon no quarter given. They think because they don't do manual labor, dress nicely, and are social that they're God's gift to paperwork. Lmao faggot. I bet you love to cycle to work too. Always cyclists who can't imagine automating tasks lmao

"future engineers" who think they're gonna be the ones making the big bucks due to their lack of social skills and cohesion with others

When your wife gets turned on seeing the cars the top salesmen drive to the office Christmas party in your future life, don't say you weren't warned

sales is the fucking bomb. you get paid more then any other position in the company and you can fuck around and drink/bang women from the office without issue when you have the results. Fucking loser desk cucks thinking their alpha while sales man fucks his office crush

>>21049164
>you get paid more then any other position in the company
Yeah but you have to work in a company. That's gay faggot LARP shit. white collar non-exec jobs are LARP shit for people who have no ideas for their own business and provide minimal value. Most companies are habbo hotel tier shit and the people running around in them are nigh useless.

They just don’t understand. It’s okay, when they are in the real world, they will either learn or be forced into cognitive dissonance. Bye!! $100k bonuses on $150k base was unreal when I jumped but everyone I work with just shrugged about it...Half the people I work with pulled in 300k in incentives alone this fy and we’re in Texas.

>>21049370
cool you can buy a middle class house every few years

OP. This is a wake up call. You have 2 paths you can go on from here. Listen to your gut telling you that you aren't doing enough and start building some momentum in your life. Or, continue to be complacent and just ignore/deflect these bad feelings you're having regarding your successful friend in relation to your own success.

>time to evolve, son

>>21049419
>>21049253
in sales, depending on how presteigious and what type of sales, you can actually go far. And it's true in the sales culture that when you get results, the higher ups and whatnot tend to let you be provided you keep getting results. It is what's nice about it, a truly and entirely results based job. Pretty sweet if sales is your forte. I hate it. I hate talking to people trying to get them to buy shit I would never buy. But I was in low level shit sales. I imagine selling between businesses is cooler.

>>21046792
Who gives a fuck how rich you become or what people think about you? You will have always missed out on teenage love and sex, you will never be able to go back, you will always be a subhuman with a fucked up youth who didn't grow up normally.

>aMPleRld in id HOLY FUCK
ample reload, this is the biggest ample buy sign in history

>>21049706
you tell yourself that because it's much easier to say that than actually put in the work to improve. The fact that you may not succeed stops you from trying. Logically you are wrong because other people have had worse childhoods than you and become great. You could do it too if only you removed your psychological firewalls.

You don't need a time machine. You need to start fixing your mental state. If you're a coomer, I'd start there.

>>21049785
Or you are too retarded to understand that people value different things. Holy fuck you are an obnoxious faggot.
Yeah dude I should become rich, having a fucked up youth will definitely be compensated by being an old rich bitter faggot. Can't wait to dab on the normies that fucked my crush by being "loved" by women who wouldn't look my way if I didn't have money. How big of a materialistic coomer are you really?

>>21046792
I've done absolutely nothing with my 4 months off now. All I do is draw, make music and play vidya. My proudest achievement in the last month is beating the first four Silent hill games all under five hours which has rarely been done before.

>>21049866
Pretty big coomer, actually. Currently fixing it. Feels good to start directing my own life instead of letting others do it for me, or telling myself that I can't. The second I've told myself that I take responsibility for my own well being, entirely, things have been going better. I know you don't want to feel the way you do. It's not about dabbing on normies that got girls in middle school. It's about the path to self realization. It's not even about self improvement. It's about becoming what you really are. Not someone elses ideal. Is this what you want to be? No? You can stay a miserable shit poster or start growing up. It's up to you. It's all up to you.

>>21047269
If this wasn’t pasta before it sure as fuck is now

>>21049997
I'm miserable because I value something I can't have because I missed out, I always did even back in the day.
>It's not about dabbing on normies
That was satire you moron. Again, you can't comprehend text how about you fix that about yourself first before spouting platitudes for other people? You can do it, it's all up to you.
>It's about becoming what you really are. Not someone elses idea
How does this even apply here? That is who I am, it goes against the norm actually, it goes against the normgroid idea of what being successful means because it incorporates a well adjusted early life into that. Coomers such as yourself can only drool about the rich lifestyle.
Also your whole advice is telling people to change their personality and values on a whim. That's so delusional and out of touch with how human beings work it's hilarious.
Can't believe I wasted my time talking to an absolute retard such as yourself. Maybe you should fix that about you first.

>>21050165
>I'm miserable because I value something I can't have because I missed out, I always did even back in the day.
you're miserable because you're stuck in the past. But I'm not your therapist, you have to come to these conclusions yourself. Maybe do some introspection. Maybe read some jung.
>dabbing on normies was satire
no really? Shit, I thought you were literally going to dab on them. You say it was satirical, but you meant it. You can't see the point in a life of being rich and appearing to be the man, or at least rich enough that no one can tell you you aren't, but you missed out on the actual good shit already. I understand your view. It's still a bad take and lucky for you, you're wrong.
>normgroid
stop using these terms. It's evidence of being unhealthy. You hang out in these echo chamber internet places. It's literally begets mental illness. You may go against the norm, but that in and of itself does not make you an interesting, good, or fulfilled person. I'm not exactly a "normie" myself. So, I can understand the desire to not be part of the herd. However, in your endeavors, you should ask yourself if you have fallen victim to another type of veil being pulled over your eyes. A less normie veil, sure, but illusion all the same. Lastly, you don't need to change your personality, retard. You need to change your perceptions.

>>21049927
at least you didn't waste your time arguing about how sales is actually good like the fags on here

>have friends that became airplane pilots
>turned down jobs in the airforce because they didnt want to be sent out
>they are possibly about to get fired because corona

WOOPS

>>21050355
>you're miserable because you're stuck in the past.
Sherlock over here, everyone. You want a tap on the back for that realization?
>You say it was satirical, but you meant it.
No I didn't, I was making fun of the rich lifestyle you have been cooming about and shilling in this thread.
>Lastly, you don't need to change your personality, retard. You need to change your perceptions
Lmao, there's only so far you can go while playing armchair psychologist. Do you even try to understand the words you're using before doing so?
Changing the things you value is changing your personality you nitwit. It's especially hard to do or impossible unless you have weak beliefs.
Perhaps you should actually read a book on psychology before telling others to do so cause you obviously didn't.
Going by your simplistic "logic" you'd tell a rape victim "hurr durr stop living in the past it's your fault you're miserable, you should aim to be successful in my sense of the world fuck you for taking the past into the equation".
Lmao, I'm done here, I've exposed you for the pseud you are, I know you're gonna spout more platitudes to masturbate your ego ITT, frankly I don't think that's healthy and you should fix that about yourself before giving other people advice.

>>21047586
>nobody who TURNS DOWN a career as a military chopper pilot
Flight warrant officers aren't anything prestigious anon. They don't even need college degrees. Plus you aren't really offered a job to do it like a normal job. I really think you are overstating his accomplishments. >>21047556

>>21049164
>you get paid more then any other position in the compan
Larp. Engineers, lawyers and tax directors make the most.

>>21050599
When did I ever shill about a rich lifestyle? LOL. Of course money is important, but I never shilled that you need to be rich lol, check your reading comprehension. Also, changing the things you value is not changing your personality. Legitimately that's just incorrect. I used to value girls more. I don't place them on a pedastool anymore. I'm still an introverted skeptical complaining highly empathetic faggot. Yet, I've changed my perceptions about the world, and of myself. I've done this by seeking out people of intellect, great thinkers, listening to stuff from people verifiably smarter than myself. Not just feel good people either, I hate that shit. Verifiable deep thinkers, present and past, pessimistic or otherwise, have helped me build what I believe to be a more "true" world view. But yes, stay fucked if you want. It's no skin off my back anon. Actually, it is, a little bit. Being the highly empathetic faggot that I am, it upsets me that you feel the way you do and even more that you're justifying staying as is. You do stay stuck because you have strong beliefs. But you're deluded. It's good to have convictions. But to be a convicted hallucinator? Wake up, neo.
I'm also not a sage. I never claimed to be smart, or wise to exactly how you feel. But you've even said yourself, I got some things right. If you're happy and more importantly fulfilled as you are, by all means, continue. If not, perhaps you shouldn't be so dismissive of someone trying to argue against your dogmatic worldview that has placed you in a web of melancholy. And even if I'm a retard faggot pseudo intellectual, well, a broken clock is right twice a day. Surely theres some accidental wisdom I've imparted that you can gleam from all this. Be well, faggot.

>I imagine selling between businesses is cooler

It isn't. It fucking sucks. You think consumer sales are shitty, wait until you get into negotiated distribution territories with legacy sales positions that get commission per in-territory sale, not by close rate. There's some genuinely driven people in B2B and they have to know their shit cold, but for every dozen upstarts, there's some old fast bastard pulling credit for seven-figure OEM integrations because he's regional VP. He already has his shitnosed pet worked out for his position when he leaves.

>>21051679
>Quantitative Analysis is truly where the money is in STM.

FTFY

Too many dipshit Math majors get pumped into hellhole postdocs nowadays. It's not a path to success. Quants only get reliably pulled from the top 10 feeder programs. There are exceptions, but they're rare.

>>21051860
That should still be anchored to Mathematical tenet, anon. If you believe in day trading bullshit without learning proper maths then feel free to get lost in your delusions and keep drawing meme lines. Kek.

>>21046792
I went through this before so I know that feel bro. We fell out of contact after middle school though because I moved. When I checked on him a few years ago I found out he graduated from Stanford and worked at some financial firm. Meanwhile I work a job with a low annual salary with my only way out being link.
