RE: Psychology: Persevering... Even When Everyone Else is Quitting and Giving Up!
I think your friend was right. There are ways to have success and they go through exploiting existing hierarchies and systems.
I never cared for the mainstream and have only done well in marginalised subcultures, but I actually enjoy it and am very content that I am where I am. A good life and success are two different things for me.
Agreed. And I am far more interested in having a good life and a sense of contentment than "success."
I am too now, but when I was younger I was thinking a lot about this and somehow i just had to admit that I did not have it in me to go the mainstream way. Much happier now.
