 "Focus on yourself instead. What's going on in here is way more important than what's going on out there. When you spend time worrying about someone else, you can't spend that time improving yourself."

"Your chances of coming up with something fresh go way down when you keep feeding your brain other people's ideas. You become reactionary instead of visionary. "

– J. Fried & D. Hansson, Rework.  
 Fucking horrid advice.

Absolute retardation to an extreme.

The advice you quoted is why every millennial retard has 7 types of anxiety, thinks they’re a cat-dog, and there are 75 genders. 
 👆🏼

What people need is to stop thinking about themselves so much and serve others for a change 
 💯 
 That’s Gen-Z you’re thinking of 
 Whatever.

They’re all mental retards 
 People believe those things because they don't or can't take on the responsibility of discerning truth from within.  A man born with a dick won't conclude he's a cat-dog in isolation.  

The cacophony is loud & exciting, it's not impossible to tune out, but some folks go through life without ever trying.  They never form their own core identity, so they very easily believe they may be a cat-dog, if the cacophony serves them such a message
