Yesterday, a good friend of mine said “I’m so glad I didn’t die before figuring all this stuff out! It would have been such a shame!”. It immediately made me think of a sentence I’d recently highlighted in a wild book I was reading by Neil Strauss: “Life is a learned skill, but instead of teaching it, our culture force-fills developing minds with long division and capital cities—until, at the end of the mandatory period of bondage that’s hyperbolically called school, we’re sent into the world knowing little about it.
Learning things as commerce, personal finance, basic psychology or 101 philosophy principles in school should be teaches at early ages
I’m obsessed with personal development, but I am obsessed with learning. This brilliantly captures and extends some of my recent thoughts, thank you.
So true, self discovery is the most important journey anyone can be on.
