Short Answer: Grandma and Adventurous-Drunk-Gambler Uncle

Long Answer:

1. You can never know everything. Even if I told you everything, you cannot process everything.

2. So stop trying to know everything. Know few things. Know them well.

3. Follow your curiosity. I once read the whole Wikipedia page on “Bricks”, yeah the one used in making a house. Why? Well, I was just curious and had internet in my hands. Imagine that you read about something just because someone told you to read like “Automated Crypto Cloud Computing”.
You would have gotten bored and then eventually look at stupid things on internet. Follow your curiosity, because your energy is important. Don’t ask me what cannibalism is.

4. Old is Gold. Here is why: If there was something better to replace it, it would have replaced it by now. The older the thing is, the higher is the probability that someone had tried improving or replacing it. It is still here, which means that it will be here for a long time. The older the better.

5. The previous paragraph is what I meant by Grandma.

6. So basically don’t learn typewriter. Someone will improve and make a computer. Someone will make a Speech Recognition System and now you don’t know shit.

7. Learn How To Write and Communicate Better. Do you think that I just randomly put every first letter in previous sentence in Capital? Do you think the use of word “shit” in point number six was not to have a sense of real conversation to that point? Why was this article given a title “How to…”? Why the whole article was written in points? Hint: It’s deliberate to get and maintain your attention. I am a sociopath.

8. “Ok where is that Drunk Uncle?” you might be thinking.

9. He is drunk. He don’t do Cocaine. He flirted with a Russian girl once. Now he only likes Russian girls. So he learned Russian. Now he gets Russian girls. He also does business of export and import with Russia. He is a rich drunk uncle who had fun. Go to parties. You might find an inspiration.

10. You think I am joking? Go to parties. This world that you will never understand. This world that changes in seconds. You will never know fully. So meet new people. People you do not meet every day. You will have energy to do work.

11. Grandma meets Uncle

12. Grandma forgives Uncle

13. Grandma always forgives because having fun and being curious is the oldest thing in the world. Every child is born curious. It is when the child is sent to school to learn boring things, it starts feeling bored. Talking to people is Grandma Style. Playing games on mobile is not.

14. There will be a crisis of “Meaning”. No one believes in Santa Claus. You Don’t Really Believe That God Exists. What is the Point in Living if No One Cares. A lot of people will go in depression. Find meaning in family, kids, nature, future and happiness of kids. Everything will make sense in this world that you do Not understand.
