You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, choose wisely.

There is no point of doing something just to develop a quality that would be transferred to something different in the real world. Do that thing directly. You can have work ethic on whatever you want. Lifting weight is made to feel good.

So discipline and strong work ethic aren’t desirable traits in the real world? To succeed in weight lifting and in pursuit of a degree takes hard work and discipline which translates directly into the real world in ANYTHING you do and want to be successful in. Which was my point.

No, weightlifting doesn’t translate in anything you do. Weightlifting translate in getting better at weightlifting and sport stuff and that is it. At time it can take a specific discipline or work ethic but it’s nothing if you like it. This discipline doesn’t translate to anything else.
Even if training is a good thing, I wouldn’t have hired a chump like you who talk about how a mundane hobby like this makes him have such a discipline and work ethic that he should be hired.
You see I have assumed that you spoke specifically of the fact that you lifted weight in your interview, which I don’t know, but I am just trying to deviate from what you are saying like you did with my last post by pretending my point was saying that hard work and discipline aren’t desirable trait.

I don’t even think it needs to be discussed, frankly. I know perfectly well my physique and my degrees advantage me, along with my very nice interview outfit, which is chosen to specifically highlight qualities I want highlighted, such as that I am very fit (suit quite tailored), not dowdy (skirt just on the short side of conservative, which with my long legs looks slightly carefree), brainy (I favor librarian shoes over plain pumps), etc.
I talk about my passion for my work, but there is no question that running and weightlifting give me an edge over people who are not able to show multiple enthusiasms requiring effort and surplus energy. In fact, it’s probably that I radiate enthusiasm and energy in interviews along with confidence - all things that come from being healthy and successful in multiple enjoyable arenas.

So I’m not sure how many times he has been in the position of “hiring” people.

You are a chump based on your posts in this thread. A chump is more or less someone who willingly entertain a foolish conception of something to make things easier. It also apply to someone who try to make someone else say something they didn’t on a forum to prove them wrong.

I don’t remember claiming this, but I know I didn’t hit anyone with my car. Maybe you should go find out. Maybe make an archive of everything I have ever said about myself and see if it hold up? I do remember making up a story that my neigbor was Ronnie Coleman grandmother’s 6 years ago for entertainment.
Anyway nice try on trying to make this conversation diverge on me making false outlandish claims while there was nothing close to this here.

Well done.
I am surprised this thread is still going on. I thought Id check in and do some updates:
-
A big source of depression was from my family. I was really getting into it with my father and his past/current relationship with me, my sister and my sisters boyfriend and our family’s financial situation. I finally told him exactly how I felt and we didn’t talk for about a week (a big deal considering I call him daily at work). We made up and talked things over, but I came to the conclusion the best policy is to keep my distance for now. For some reason not speaking to him for that week knocked some sense into him.
-
I am working on being more organized. I am learning, while I am very smart and hard working, I have a very serious weakness when it comes to following routines and plans. I end up spinning my wheels because of poor planning and I am working to correct this and move forward.
-
Yes, the people here don’t have high goals and big aspirations. It is depressing, people only care about the money. Money is good, but you cant buy time. You cant buy back the hours you spend doing something you don’t enjoy, you cant buy back the opportunities you missed, and the more time you spend not doing what you want to do, the less time you have to allocate to your passions. I came up with a neat little formula. I call it the conservation of time, it goes something like this:
E S W A = 168.
and
d/dt (E S W A) = 0
E = eating
S = sleeping
W = working
A = all other activities
Basically, the sum of all you do must equal the amount of hours in a week. The second term is the time derivative of the first equation. This states simply that time increased in one category results in a decrease in another. I like thinking about time like this because analogies of these equations are very common in the sciences: the conservation of energy momentum and mass. These laws are absolute and unambiguous. I feel today our culture has lost this sense of “time”, especially my generation. That is one thing that bothers me: “Don’t you realize you aren’t here forever? Don’t you want to make the best of your time?” These questions go unasked amongst younger people.
- I am following a plan right now outside of work to put me in a position to be more marketable and get a better career. I am teaching myself 1 subject at a time. I am learning to “slow down” and not think too far ahead into the future. Sometimes I get nervous about things I cant predict and I end up making bad decisions because I am trying to react before there is anything to react too.
I really, really want to go back to school - financially it is suicide. I am already 60 grand in student loan debt (1:1 income to debt ratio), and I don’t think going another 30 grand to get a masters or PhD will offset a lifetime of indentured servitude. I want to save as much as I can and invest in a duplex or some stocks (in addition to my 401K) while I am young so I can accumulate a good savings. Still, having a job I don’t enjoy (mostly because it is not challenging and I sit at a desk all day) is making feel like garbage physically and mentally.
I was thinking of going into field engineering work because it is good pay and I enjoy being outside and it might require some physical labor. I can get my intellectual fulfillment from my self study courses. Deep down I have always wanted to be a professor who can deadlift cars and throw kegs (and keg parties).

I have been trying to be more relaxed around people. I realize not everyone has big dreams. In fact it seems like most people enjoy stability over challenges.

I think long term I need to move to a warmer and sunnier climate. The weather right now is beautiful and I feel more energetic.

I learned to love winter. Pick up some cold-weather sports or activities. Winter is like my summer. And when summer comes, I’m even happier. I won’t let cold, snow, and ice keep me down anymore…I run to that shit!

I made this shift a couple of years ago - started really investing in the gear I need to be comfortable outside. I’m much, much happier when I have enough outside time. I’ve found it doesn’t matter what time of year, it just matters that I go out and play.

Yeah, dont worry too much what might come rolling down the hill.
90% will roll sideways into a ditch before it even comes near you.
