[@Gberluz]

The second someone starts their story trying to get pity by emphasizing how middle class they were, I immediately roll my eyes and stop listening.

[@kartikeyvhebbar]

So you just wanna hear rich kids make big in life? What's the problem being middle class?

[@etgaming4162]

That's when you know you are gonna be a failure

[@Chibuike_D._Nze]

[@TheTwoWhoWereTaken]

Became a CFO after he decided to stop fighting Daredevil

[@MayaUndefined]

I can't tell if he's comments are sarcastic, AI bots, or ...?

Loved this man. Same kind of mentality in managing people.

[@DrSeuss-nw3px]

Work life balance - it’s for you to answer. If you want more life than work, gotta figure out how to grind making your own business and then eventually enjoy results

[@iirgendsonTyp]
