Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life?

I found out that it’s more important to be flexible and be able to grab opportunities when they appear than to make the “right” decision.
There’s no right answer on how to live your life.
And besides that we live in times that are changing so rapidly that what you might be doing in the next 10 years donesnt even exists right now.
Just keep your brain sharp and your body healthy and you’ll be set.

Great answer, flexibility and adaptability is underrated.
You’re almost never gonna get a perfect opportunity. But you’ll get good ones that kind of match your skills now and then. And if your skill base is broad, then you’ll find good ones way more often. And if you’re happy to deal with the temporary discomfort of learning some specific skills quickly, then you can make use of many of them.
I think being capable of being deeply interested in many diverse things is a critical part of this.
