Friday, Friday—a Friday that made me think

This afternoon, a thought suddenly struck me: why am I so determined to go into sales in the AI industry? It reminds me of how, just after graduating last year, I insisted on joining Web3. Back then I thought it was such a big opportunity that even a pig standing in the wind would take flight 🐖. A year later I can see that lacking the basics and failing to understand fundamental concepts can be far more damaging. That would hold me back in any industry, even though I know sales skills are valuable everywhere…

In that moment, I felt my fixation loosen a little. I no longer felt quite so set on selling in the AI industry, and my mind felt much lighter.

The thought came from a Douyin video I saw this afternoon. Its gist was that the great romance of this age lies in the quiet composure it offers to people willing to keep learning throughout their lives.

I am writing this late at night, when my brain does not really want to work. I am leaving the thought here so I can return to it and develop it later…
