Ask HN: On advice that you would give to your younger self
If successful people lived out the advice that they would give to their younger self as young people, would they still end up successful?
And the problem with that is they leave out how they stumbled into a lucky break -- a fluke others won't be able to repeat. (Right-place-at-the-right-time moments, unique confluences of events...) Maybe the lesson here is that people giving advice have filters they're not aware of.
