Patterns vs Prestige

It doesn’t matter what your profession is at any given time. There’s truth in all of them. They all contain patterns.

It is those patterns that are universal, and can be transferred to any domain, at any point in your life.

But you have to learn those patterns. Meaning you have to go deep. You have to build. And that’s not going to happen if you aren’t frequently compelled to solve things others haven’t.

Many choose their education and careers for social perception and prestige. They never understand much of anything because they’re never engaged.

Their “success” is artificially propped-up by institutional importance and inflated titles.

What nobody is paid to tell you is that doing things for superficial reasons guarantees one thing:

…you are going to suck at your job.

Remove the prestige that grants people their hollow status and there’s not much left.

Contrast this with someone who learned that universal, transferrable class of patterns that exist in all domains, *because* they went deep into something that drives them.

What they have brings true advantage, regardless the challenge. They can change their vocation and immediately bring massive value.

Choosing something that drives you instills patterns that make you formable, versatile, and valued.

It doesn’t matter what your profession is at any given time. There’s truth in all of them. They all contain patterns.

Choose to be driven. Let nature handle the rest.
