How much does your decisions from the ages of 12 - 18 determine your future/overall happiness in life? - Early

Gotta make this quick - at work.

After reading the risible, lambaste worthy & somberful post of "biggest life regrets"

//www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/the-single-biggest-failure-in-your-life

It's evident for MOST of the posters on this forum (whom I'm guessing are

Seems like many people would like a do-over in life because their models & bottles dreams never materialized (or never will). Honestly, thought the posts were hysterical. It seems like it’s too bad that many of you weren’t conceived in Amy Chua’s womb.

 

People on this forum need to get some perspective. Here are things that fuck you up for life:

  1. Being born with a serious physical or mental illness, like HIV/AIDS or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Autism.
  2. Physical/sexual abuse
  3. Developing a crippling drug addiction
  4. Major injury/illness
  5. Urban poverty
  6. Really, really shitty parents (alcoholics, drug addicts, verbally abusive)
  7. Incarceration

Going to Indiana State for undergrad isn't even in the same conversation. So you've gotta call some people to get an interview for a job that will pay for $120k a year at age 22. I'm sorry your life isn't being handed to you on a silver platter? Man, lemme go break out the tissues.

Lol. Sounds like "non-target" problems to me. Haven't you realized this is WSO??? Models & Bottles FTW. Where's my man AJ?

I'm pretty sure that this guy summed up what anybody's actual "life problems" could possibly be. Thread = over.

Well this thread is nice and pointless - and double posted.

Younger people don't have major life failures en masse. Go figure?

The same way, a thread about "biggest life mistakes" adds value?

 

"Career-wise" speaking, you have it easier out of certain schools. This is an undisputable fact. If you want to work in a certain industry, and school A has 20 ppl from it doing OCR, and school B has 1 every other year.... you have it easier out of school A. You simply cannot deny this. Now, if you find this little fact out, oh I don't know- after you fucking graduate.... I'd say wishing you knew is a fairly viable choice. What a shocker that on a career related website, people chose their biggest career related mistake.
