@stevenjreese: You probably won’t “make it” — and that’s okay. The book is “Crossing to Safety” by Wallace Stegner. #learning #literature #BookTok #reading #success

Wrote the novel. Two in fact. No one cared to read them. That can happen too.

99% of people are average and ordinary. There is nothing wrong with it

I am fine being ordinary. The problem is you have to be extraordinary to live an ordinary life now. What I want is a house and 2 kids and you basically have to be a freaking millionaire these days to comfortable afford that.

Quitter talk. Statistically, I should be a burn out drug addict. I'm not, so I also won't settle for this life. I write my own stars.

Number one thing is to do everything you want, that you can do. Even if you fail, you can at least say you've tried.

Upper middle class college professor is kinda funny to be representative of a let down. It’s still wildly more successful than the vast majority of people. It’s like saying you wanted to be one of the great baseball players and then having to only be content with playing for the dodgers. What is this book saying for a factory worker?

There are many historical figures that prove we are not always popular in our lifetime but the popular in A lifetime.

I might be wrong, because I'm only telling you what is happening to me, but I believe people don't get there because they don't really try. They don't end the relationship, they don't quit the job, they don't start the second degree to change their careers, they don't take opportunities they feel they're unqualified for out of embarassment that everyone there will know they're unqualified for. I don't want to give out too much personal details on the internet, but as someone who was afraid more than anything to be ordinary and is now on the opposite path, just burn the bridges so you can't go back. Make and take all the opportunities that you can. Use all the resources that you have, because you have more than you imagine. Adapt, because if you adapt to life, life will adapt to you, and you will make it❤️And I know this was not the purpose of this video, but I see the people in the comments, and no one really wants to be ordinary. And you don't have to be, I hope you know that. (PS: It takes so much work you want to cut your head off just to get a break from all the thinking and doing and mixing, but you'll love it, you'll love it so much even on the hardest days)
