>suddenly remember a guy i used to go to school with >he was my best friend for years even after school but had a falling out >look him up online >always knew he was pretty smart and driven but kind of floundered around with me when we both left school >he's become immensely successful >lives in a nice part of another country with a wife and a new child on the way >his linkedin is full of his achievements and people writing quotes about how good he is at this and that >find out he was even offered a job in the military as a helicopter pilot but turned it down because he wanted to do something better
Meanwhile im stuck in a dead end job trying to make ends meet. Just felt this huge wave of depression hit me and I've come to the realisation that everything up to this point has been a complete waste of time and I'll never amount to even a fraction of what this guy is.
Work out what he did that made him successful and do more of that. Work out what made you unsuccessful and do less of that.
Don't fall into the trap of thinking it's too late to change. It never is. Just do better each day, change one habit each week, etc.
Don't be lazy.

user, I suggest you pursue something that plays to your natural talents. I’m able to have conversations and have deep technical skills so I honed my technical skills and now I’m in sales. You need to move with intent and try to plan your future. You need a 1-3-5 year plan with a mix of personal and professional goals. Take a grease pin and write them on a mirror so you have to read them every time you look at your fat ugly loser face. You sad sack of shit. Fuck you, honestly. You thought you could just skateboard and play guitar while millions of dollars fell into your lap? You think you could float along through life and society would figure out your path for you? Don’t worry, here’s your course correction. Asshole.

Sounds like you're an anchor and him dumping you was the best thing he did.
Carson Rodriguez
Remember the Law of Attraction. Whatever made you become friends with him in the first place is bound to bring similar things into your life. Start by doing things and thinking differently.
Why did you guys have a falling out OP? Also, don't compare his highlights to your everyday life, you dumb nigger.

it was over a girl. Which was a misunderstanding anyway but neither of us wanted to admit fault and we just held on to the anger and drifted apart.

>> Rodney Dangerfield was essentially a loser until he was well over 40. The success he enjoyed was rather fine. Don't ever "wait" for "it" to "happen", make goals and push with the cock ya' got.
James Reed
kek, what faggots the both of you are. Bitches aint shit nigger, don't you know? 3 damp holes made you lose your friend?
Hudson Reyes
reach out to him seriously
Juan Torres
It was complicated. Things were getting rocky up to that point but that moment is what pretty much stopped contact between us entirely. Looking back it was fucking stupid and trivial but we were in our very early 20s and didn't know better
Benjamin Barnes
You should’ve sucked his weiner back in the day. Maybe he would help you if you ate some of his prodigal cream
Mason Phillips
I don't give a fuck what "achievements" other people have. For me to retire early and have complete freedom is better than all the little medals they could pin on you. Escape the system and you'll see how bad these people have it

>missing his point entirely Retard
Christopher Davis
My boy is wicked smart though. Did a physics and maths double degree for the hell of it. Did some other degree in something crazy because he enjoyed university so much. Im pretty sure he's genuinely loving life, nobody who TURNS DOWN a career as a military chopper pilot is having a bad time, i would imagine

You suck, you should not get depressed over a friends success.

> Academics Globally they're dumbing down courses to get more foreign students so that's not saying much.
Sebastian Diaz
Also > Serving state military Being forced to preform mental gymnastics (murder is okay because I did it for the state) while following orders because your superiors told you to isn't an accomplishment.

Pussy Nicely done with your critical thinking. You’ll go far.

Did you get bullied by skaters when you were in high school?
Justin Reyes
life always give 2nd chance, dont give up easily, challenge yourself, and you can even become better than him!
I lost my normal job, failed many things attempted, was utterly depressed, but just managed to hung around until a better time comes, and this bull run has been very kind to me
hopefully wont make same mistakes, and will have a better life going forward.
just keep improving everyday, even a tiny bit, just hang around until your time comes good one day!
