Addicted to the past?

Are we working on making our future better or are we busy paying off the past’s debt? Ironically though, the best way to pay off the past’s debt is to work on the future.

Elon musk, Jeff Bezos are definitely future oriented. They are working on things that they want to bring into existence. No wonder they are the 2 richest persons in the world.

The past is addictive. Its illusion is very strong. It feels tangible even though it’s gone. We can still remember its contours.

Industrial careers are a thing of the past: CVs, job security, 9-5, boss, hike, promotion, pension.

If you are stuck worrying about these, you are not alone. There were many people who continued using a typewriter even when the Macintosh became popular.

Becoming a professional, someone who is in charge of their career, their time and their finances, their learning and their portfolio, that’s what the future is about.

Nostalgia is good for poetry, not for your career.
