DON’T TELL YOURSELF STORIES
“In public avoid talking often and excessively about your accomplishments and dangers, forhowever much you enjoy recounting your dangers, it’s not so pleasant for others to hear about your affairs.”
—EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 33.14
Modern philosopher Nassim Taleb has warned of the “narrative fallacy”—the tendency to assemble
unrelated events of the past into stories. These stories, however gratifying to create, are inherently misleading. They lead to a sense of cohesion and certainty that isn’t real.

DON’T TELL YOURSELF STORIES “In public avoid talking often and excessively about your accomplishments and dangers, forhowever much you enjoy recounting your dangers, it’s not so pleasant for others to hear about your affairs.” —EPICTETUS, ENCHIRIDION, 33.14…
If that’s too heady, remember that as Epictetus points out, there is another reason not to tell storiesabout your past. It’s boring, annoying, and self-absorbed. It might make you feel good to dominate theconversation and make it all about you, but how do you think it is for everyone else? Do you think people are really enjoying the highlights of your high school football days? Is this really the time for another exaggerated tale of your sexual prowess?
Try your best not to create this fantasy bubble—live in what’s real. Listen and connect with people,
don’t perform for them.

Do you think it stops??
So many ppls learn or stay in university not because it's their passion, not because it had a better opportunity, not because it pays you well ....but because people or families expect you to honor them. Wearing gawon , receiving a paper from professor , bringing degree or masters to their home, that family became an icon for the community around....but what do u get from this?
Do you think it stops there. Ur family decide your name , race, mindset, what you love ,what you learn, who you marry to and when you marry(especially for girls), when to have kids, how u become rich (there not rich yet they wanna teach you abt money), how to live a better life(most of them don't , they live in illusion). How can we believe that. At last we blame ourselves cause we trust untrustworthy become disappointed then repeate the loop to the next generation. You must love your family but trust them with no logic bruv ur cooked.

Follow ur passion not expectations and family. At least you would take responsibilities for your action.

Take a look at some of the most. powerful, rich, and famous people in the world. Ignore the trappings of their success and what they’re able to buy. Look instead at what they’re forced to trade in return—look at what success has cost them.
Mostly? Freedom. Their work demands they wear a suit. Their success depends on attending certain parties, kissing up to people they don’t like. It will require—inevitably—realizing they are unable to say what they actually think. Worse, it demands that they become a different type of person or do bad things.
Sure, it might pay well—but they haven’t truly examined the transaction. As Seneca put it, “Slavery resides under marble and gold.” Too many successful people are prisoners in jails of their own making. Is that what you want? Is that what you’re working hard toward? Let’s hope not.

A Scientist Says Humans Will Reach the Singularity Within 20 Years
An American computer scientist-turned-futurist, Kurzweil has long believed that humanity is headed toward what’s known as “the singularity,” when man and machine merge. In 1999, Kurzweil theorized that artificial general intelligence would be achieved once humanity could achieve a technology capable of a trillion calculations per second, which he pegged to occur in 2029.
Experts at the time scoffed at the idea, figuring it’d be at least a century or more, but with Kurzweil’s timeline only a few years off—and talk of AGI spreading—that decades-old prediction is beginning to loom large.

CUTTING BACK ON THE COSTLY
“So, concerning the things we pursue, and for which we vigorously exert ourselves, we owe this consideration—either there is nothing useful in them, or most aren’t useful. Some of them are superfluous, while others aren’t worth that much. But we don’t discern this and see them as free, when they cost us dearly.”
—SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 42.
