Who to blame?

Every time I see blame society, blame social media, blame govt, blame economy, blame environment etc.

But I never see anyone blame themselves as parents for their wonderful upbringing mindset: excessive feeding of headstarts, resources lavished on the children, breeding that sense of entitlement and a lifetime of handicap.

Everything else fault but never my fault.

You are right.....it all boils down to the parents.

The Nvidia CEO recently said this to a group of Stanford students : "I hope suffering happens to you." (https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/15/nvidia-ceo-huang-at-stanford-pain-and-suffering-breeds-success.html)

To achieve greatness, one needs character and "character isn’t formed out of smart people, it’s formed out of people who suffered," he said

Our kids never had a day of pain because at home they have doting parents who provide everything and at school they have teachers who wouldn't dare to even lift a finger.

Their first real pain is when they faced a society that expects them to work at least 44hours/week and so they immediately crumble at that reality. 

Be prepared for more FTs  taking over the in-demand jobs like Generative AI and tech consulting work

There are many other ways to make money and earn a living.  Spend time to explore other alternatives and exit from involution (内卷).  The tradition recipe which worked well in our parents' era is not going to work any more.

I dunno why you people think the old days of suffering and hardship is better. It's like last time parents beat and abuse their kids and nobody bats an eye, but that will not fly today.

Times are different now. If there's a more effective way to be productive without over-exerting yourself, why should we not embrace it?

With more adoption of Jensen Huang's super Blackwell chips and all...yes, more jobs to be created but a hell lot more to be lost as collaterals...😂

He's holding back and sell in parts instead of a complete solution to monopolise becos of kawang kawang with many partners and competitors...likely it may cum a day when he's no longer at the helm or someone takes over his coy...no more competitors...just sole monopoly...sekali that someone can even run the coy from the oval office...😅

How to buy his coy shares huh? 😁

This quote is gold.

“Greatness is not intelligence. Greatness comes from character. And character isn’t formed out of smart people, it’s formed out of people who suffered,”

I read the article... this chap takes public transport at 730am, assume reach office 8am, knock off at 5pm, reach home eat dinner 630pm...

WTF! still kpkb??? this is not strawberry already, but strawberry jam liao....

Expand  

Can still see the sunset while eating dinner, is consider work-life balance oredi 

But go home early like that can mean some work continue later in the evening, or weekend at home.
