The Role of Learning: Making the Right Choices in Life’s Critical Moments
Every choice is actually about extending the game or giving yourself more options.
Moving from engineer to manager might help you avoid driving for Didi at 40, while changing industries is all about trying to earn in 10 years what would normally take 30.
Next, becoming an investor—if you can't make it past that, your career ends at 50, but if you do, you can keep going until 70 or 80.
It's hard for executives in their 50s to find jobs, but investors aren't constrained by age as long as your mind stays sharp.
Break through that ceiling once more, and you can keep grinding and leveling up.
Learning all those things isn't necessarily about putting them into practice—they're there to give you a comparative advantage so you can make the right choices at critical moments.
