The original quote gives a hell of a different message, opposed to "not having the right to" socrates describes it as a "shame to see".

Because it doesnt effect the people around you, only your own life and experience living it. except maybe them seeing you not fulfill your potential and finding it wastefull

Nonetheless i agree with the overall message, seeing people of which you know can do more to become their best self but simply dont because of ignorance or lazyness (ofcourse mental illness plays a role for alot of people but thats a WHOLE other discussion)

This one took a while for me to get down. And is really tough to balance... Like 90% of my job is conveying confidence to clients, a decent bit of which is just confidence in me. So on the one hand you do legitimately have to be like "I'm the best at this and your company needs me", but on the other hand if you overdo it you end up basically playing Ellis from die hard or Jared Vennet or somebody, which turns a whole lot of people off too.

Warren Buffett's credibility doesn't come from just being rich. He is known for his talent in growing wealth, and he gives some solid financial advice. This meme is just a witty statement annoyingly represented as advice.

I'll argue that no plan = stupid plan by default. Planning won't prevent a stupid plan, but it sure does reduce the chance of one.

I finished my master's degree last week. Now I have free time until May, when I start my PhD.

After having worked non-stop for two years, it is honestly very hard to do nothing. Today, I shall do nothing with the confidence of a four year old in a batman T-shirt. It will be an experience.
