Do you have a hard time getting support from your parents? Read on.

The iPhone has been around for over a decade.

It disrupted so many industries.

GPS? Maps? Pagers?

Lots of stuff got displaced.

In the past 10+ years new industries have been created, others made obsolete.

Oftentimes we look into the past to determine where to go in the future.

But that's not where the future lives.

Today we're dealing with deep learning, AI, deep fakes, all kinds of new sh1t.

The rulebook by which our parents lived, is not applicable today.

Ultimately your parents, if they're not complete failures, want to protect you from a life of pain and misery.

But often they're giving you an Atari while the PS5 is out.

They mean well, but aren't equipped to.

Imagine competing for a field where you'll hate what you do?

People will outperform you anyday if they love what they do and it's the same what you were forced into because your parents thought becoming a doctor or engineer is the best for you.

A lot of people are unhappy this way, and that's why they live for the weekends.

If you look forward to your weekends as an escape from your day to day life, it's telling you something is wrong...

Going on your own path, wether you have your parents' support or not, if you do you are very fortunate, you can create something entirely new and benefit from it a lot.

If you have taken or are about to take "the different path" I have mad respect for your and support you.

This is your time.

It takes work, dedication, commitment. As it should.

If it was easy to attain, everbody will have it.

Scarcity drives value.

If you can push through the temporary setbacks, the pain, the stress and keep going forward, you'll get there. You'll forge your own path.

And if you have a parent, that after reading this still need their approval & support, send em my way.

I'll explain them the 'career' you could have.

But you have to hold up your end of the bargain, because it's not a guarantee.

Work.

Dedication.

Commitment.
