I wish I did this years ago---around 10, to be exact. Now I don't know if I'll ever do it.

At the same time, the OP has a good point: being honest and finding your own way to success tends to work for those who do it, but only if you work hard at it.

You can play games, you can withstand the bullshit, but at in the end, you have to actually care about what you're doing as a part of the big picture.

I have seen this in people. I can sense this in myself. I just wish I would do something about it.
