people are simply not prepared to win, because once you win, you need an entirely different set of strategies

It’s so difficult to go from being an underdog to being successful (happens to 1% of people?), and it seems so unlikely when you’re slogging, that... when they get successful, it seems like only 1-5% of *those* are able to adapt and reorient What got you here won’t get you there

success- the more outsized the success, and the more quickly it happens- can have a way of yanking you sharply out of your context. your usual coping mechanisms stop working. your social reality transmogrifies in front of you. it’s incredibly chaotic and annihilating https://t.co/ghR3pFQs3R

@visakanv think it was @sharanvkaur taunting with with literally the words “you just were not prepared to win huh” and you were like “i really wasn’t” maybe concerning book writing

@AskYatharth @visakanv this? 😅 i think people can wrap their minds around the distinction between “preparing to start” and “starting” but it’s not quite the same with finishing…? idk if this makes sense https://t.co/EZVJBWgNV3

@visakanv @ryan_nayr_ @webdevMason This is why Malcolm (and probably @nosilverv and me) have a dedicated custom search engine to search visa twitter. Your mind-lattice is as much ours for the taking. Standing on giants has never been easier. https://t.co/H1F17Rr60i
