techdog··on Ask HN: What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
The idea that No One Is Coming.

No one is coming to fix your problem, help you out, give you the magic "tip" you need, point you in the right direction, throw you a rope, help pay your bills, show you "the way," etc.

"But if I just see the right specialist..." "If I could just hire the right consultant..." "If I could just..."

Bullshit.

No one is coming.

You own your problems.

Whatever your problem is -- raising money, finding the "right" therapist, quitting cigarets, finding the right partner, getting the right degree (if I just had an MBA...), learning the right skills -- whatever it is, it's your problem. It's okay to ask for help. But it's your problem. No one's going to fix it on your behalf, make you better on your behalf.

No one is coming.

"Yeah, but..."

No. No one, is, coming.
