Seek refuge in sex and alcohol. Let the wounds heal for a bit. Then pick yourself up again and return. It’s not about how smart or talented or whatever you think you are. It’s about how many times you can fall hard and get back up.


Look, maybe you’ve lost it. Ok? Maybe you’ll just never really rise above the fray. Maybe you’ll be forever condemned to use your skills to hang together and survive the tribulations of middle class, middle manager, mid-life crisis, mediocrity. Maybe.


It’ll be alright. You just have to be a little flexible with you definition of what alright means.


Sometimes it will all be too much. Just too much. You’ll want to self destruct and hide all the evidence. Don’t give up. You’ll be hungover tomorrow. But you’ll rise again.


If you get stuck along the road try with a bit more alcohol.

You must be able to make yourself as a character. Not just to act it but to craft the personal traits, beliefs and appearance that will most likely allow you to win.


The game is rigged. In many ways. You can be against the rigging that gets in your way while benefitting from all the other ways.


You can’t avoid getting in trouble. You will make mistakes. Otherwise you won’t get far. What matters is how you get out of trouble. Making both professional and personal mistakes is an advantage because you can admit to the latter and earn forgiveness with little consequence


Be cynical. But never reveal the true depth of your cynicism to others. All you’ll get is a brief reaction of shock, disbelief and revulsion. And you’ll quickly lose the chance of having people confide in you.
