Good Luck!

Thanks for giving us fence sitters another kick in th a$$.

I feel each every post like this is going to push me to the brink and finally make me take the plunge.

Thanks Again.

do we have the right tools yet? if not can why don't we try to think of what would help us with this massive and rapid doubling of knowledge.

Its not that PG writes so much gold.

I think he sees the world through his own views and everything follows.

So when he writes about anything i feel he's just writing how he views the world. He always gets upvoted because there are lots of people who like how he examines the world.

He doesn't write that much gold but how he views the world has been judged golden by a many reddit readers.

Some people agree some people don't.

For me the biggest thing about going to an elite school is expectation.

The more you expect for yourself, the more others expect from you the more you are driven to succeed or make something of your life.

Elite colleges are like the newsweek article on octopart, it makes you want to beat the expectations on you, only several order or magnitudes less.

I think getting an education is secondary in college. Finding people who live with passion used to be a problem when we didn't have the internet. And working/studying in elite institutions gave you a higher chance of meeting passionate people.

Question, from A to L what do qualities do you think you already have?

I think as with most things it depends. Envy is closely related to pride , and if envy/pride drives us to create beautiful products to always push outside our comfort zones to make something beautiful/useful then I am all for it., But if with, I daresay most people ,envy drives them to do things beyond what decent people do.

IN short figure out how envy affects you. Honestly assess yourself and act accordingly.

I think PG expressed why making money is important in an earlier essay. So that we get making money out of the way of us making a life, or something like that.

i think his use of influential is a on a more personal note.

I second that!

hmmm? PG's a serial entrepreneur? really? no disrespect meant but really?

EDIT:saw speling mistakes

I think you are dealing with analysis paralysis. I think you should develop an internal weighting system on extra information. remember nothing beats the information gleaned from your own experience. I cant remember where but I read somewhere that the plan is unimportant but the planning is invaluable. Dont keep a plan just keep on planning and implementing. Each new Oh Crap moment is just another input to the ever changing and improving planning implementing process. IMHO.

PG, you just got me wondering about feedback. When you let people you trust or respect read drafts of your essays, what kind of feedback do you expect? How does the feedback affect your essays?

Yes, I am from the philippines, met him at a uni here think it was a forum on entrepreneurship.
