How to avoid wasting your life:

(a thread) Aim for patient wealth, not get rich quick schemes.

Aim for lifelong integrity, not virtue signalling.

Aim for persistent happiness, not bite-sized dopamine hits.

Aim for permanent contentment, not a chain of desires.

Aim for lasting freedom, not annual holidays.
