Let’s look into what the high achievers say about the power of reading a book.
Young people today don’t read books. I don’t think any of them are widely read in Russian literature. Unless you have a rich reserve within yourself you can’t create anything. That’s why I often say creating comes from memory. Memory is the source of your creation...”
- Kurosawa

As we enter adulthood, the liabilities of our wrong decisions are gradually transferred from other people (parents, family, teachers) to ourselves.
We deal with the consequences of our actions. No one else carries the weight, but we alone.
That’s what adulting is
When we were kids, if we screwed up our finances and spent too much, our parents would be there to back us up. If we failed, our teachers would help us find a way to pass the exam. Parents would scold us, but they’d also help us find a solution - enrol us in tuition, for example.
But as we became adults, like babies that were weaned off breastmilk, we were taught, often the hard way, that we had to solve our own shit.
