Nowadays, there is a popular tendency to ignore the risk or mislead what we think and what we want.
I know about people, both private or "celebrities", who say that they don't do any preventive tests versus cancers or other diseases, even if they are free. They think that doing such tests is like "summoning" disease (more scary, influencers talk such thesis to their followers).
Second example: Some People are saying "I don't lose. I win or learn." The same people say, when they lose, "I did not lose. I did not want that at all." Or they say dumb history that in the end they won.
Silhouettes of people like Gates,Jobs,Zuckerberg,Musk, etc are overwhelmingly overused by people without studies to admit that studies are useless, go to job, learn what You want etc.
Ok. But these people already had done a great job before or during studies. They are not rich because they dropped out. They spent time saved after rejecting studies to improve what they started earlier, not to start something from 0. They were already perfect programmers before studies, they did not end studies to learn programming.
Statistical drop-out drops out from studies, because 50-60 year old will not tell him what to do, just to go to work in McDonalds whre 40-years old tells him what to do.
You hear in media about startups, Jobses, Gateses, but in the end they are small percent. You don't hear about millions who were not such successful. Believe in Yourself, I will believe in You too, but don't let that believing blind You.
When first thing goes not as well as expected, these people do such face:
People are too often not allowing the thinking that ANYTHING can go wrong.
They are preparing only for the best scenario for themselves. When the world is knocking door, it is not enough.
You want to do tattoos for life, You don't need school, yes? Ok. You might be perfect tattooer. One day, influencer will go to Your studio to do a tattoo. 10 months later he/she gets rid of that tattoo, will criticise Your studio and You are gone, deaf people will not hear anything. Your career is gone.
This is only example. The same can happen anywhere, anytime, with everyone.
You may do everything with heart and soul. But is it not possible to win every second in Your life!
And don't pretend to falsely turn lose into win.
Don't put ship of Your life on only one anchor. Put at least 1 Joker in sleeve.
Preparing for worse scenario does not mean that You are not believing in Yourself or lost hope. This only means that You are wary and have dreamer's heart. If Your ship sunks in the middle of an ocean, You need a raft to still have chance to fulfill Your dreams.
