You should follow your dreams but have a backup plan or two in case your dreams don't become reality. Always plan for the worst.
MesserAuditore
We don't deserve Bo.
kryptography
100% correct. Best advice a celeb has ever given
lyonqueen
I always tell my son - have a dream and a realistic idea - plan for both.
stehenallein
He's not telling people not to follow their dreams, he's telling them to not take advice from people who got lucky.

Ooooooohhh Bo.
IAmGodot
But that it advice from people like him, so do I follow it or not?
PJFunk
he's just eliminating the competition
Querkly
I believe that's called survivor bias
Cocacoladinosaur
Don't take reposts from people like him.
Dinkleburgg
You gotta at least try if you want to get anywhere, though.
OliverClothesoff70
My brother is 53 and still pretty sure he's going to be a rock star any day now. At some point, following your dreams becomes a bit stupid.
fluhatinrapper
I think that's about the worst thing I've ever heard, marvelous.

CraftedLine
But Taylor Swift's father is the one who landed her said job by buying out a recording company, adding a stipulation that Taylor gets signed
BreadyStinellis
Exactly. She got lucky to be born to a wealthy father.
Ssssssssssss
Oh, Bo... you're not lucky. You're talented beyond all hell. Good on you.
Ssssssssssss
as is my dream, but I didn't quit my day job because that shit needs time to start making money.

I don’t think that following your dreams is bad just don’t be a dumbass about it and ruin or risk everything in your life it’s good to dream
ImHereToGetDownvotes
"Follow your dreams but don't expect amazing results and have a backup plan / source of income in the meantime" doesn't sound too catchy
Racack
My dad always summed that concept up to "hope for the best, prepare for the worst"
Haraken
He is mostly saying how stupid it is for people like him and other celebrity to say to people to keep following their dream no matter 1/2
Haraken
what. As if it will happens for everyone should they keep pursuing it relentlessly. He isn't saying to not to, but if it can't happens 2/3
Haraken
don't try to force it on the advice of people like himself. 3/3
Ssssssssssss
The man in the pictures suggests it as if it's a binary. Even if you can only 5% follow your dreams right now, you should still try.
MikeG1218
What if my dreams involve chocolate pudding, Jessica Alba, and the Millenium Falcon?
Ssssssssssss
Invest in chocolate pudding companies now. Research how much it'd cost to build a a full scale model of the Millenium Falcon, and buy one-
Ssssssssssss
lottery ticket a month in hopes you'll get rich enough to court Jessica Alba.
TryTurningItOffAndOn
Or build the first millennium falcon out of chocolate pudding and fly it to Jessica Alba's place. There's no way she wouldn't be impressed

I forced myself out of a dream last night for the first time. I kept having to re-kill a little girl over and over.
fluhatinrapper
Okayyyy....
suntzupup
get in deep with the mob, have them cut my friend's fingers off with a cigar cutter to find my hide out, and take a sledgehammer to my head?
amishcannoli
Follow your nightmares. Know where they nest. Take them down.
goandneverdarkenmytowelsagain
I kinda know where those cliffs I fall down from nest already
amishcannoli
Perfect. Lets fuck em right up.

To clarify. I mean face your fears. You literal potatoes.

I'm a sweet potato, you leave me be!

Becoming your nightmare gets you to high places
badthaught
Becoming someone else's nightmare though has wildly different consequences.
Topi41
He’s right. In Media, you only see the ones who won the lottery, the 0,01%. Confirmation bias.

Good read! As a data analyst, this inspires me and makes me feel stupid.. they did this in their heads and on paper what!

This was a wonderful read, thank you.

We elected one.

They've almost all been one. You think W would ever have been President if his dad was a truck driver?
TheBoysInTheLab
If you think we've only elected one, I've got some upsetting news for you.

People would be way happier if the media showed only the losers. dude sold everything to win Powerball.now he's homeless? Life's ok then
BewbsRGreat

mastikator
It might end the taxes on stupid people aka lottery
CatsIsTheAnswer
No please, what if we have to cover for the missing income of the stupid people tax?
mastikator
The money isn't spent on anything of societal value. It can go without any bad consequences.
FiveShiftOne
It's invested in public schools here.
CatsIsTheAnswer
Depends on where you're from: in Italy the main lottery is run under public license and grants the public budget a large incoms share
meddy12
Ignorant american here, I can't find an answer on google, why is it 1,000.1 here, and 1.000,1 in europe?
valintepes
Cause they suck. Seriously though, it was just a choice some time ago, and they stuck to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
valintepes
They do suck though. They have to use decimal points in international software/tools a lot anyways. I used to typeset. This is a giant PIA.

I'm following my dream. But she keeps telling me to stop, and that she's calling the police, and asking crazy questions like how'd I get in.

She's saying we'll never ever ever, get back together. But I don't believe her...

she can't call the police if she's dead
TransGirlsDoItBetter
She also wont complain as much when you try to dress her up like your father. It expedites the whole process really.

If you want advice on following your passion, Mike Rowe also has some outstanding advice.

Yeah that's it. I love that..."bring your passion with you".

That is excellent, but I know quite a few young people who would be angrily offended after watching that video.
BumblyWumbly
I dunno. I'm 25 and that's been my mindset for a while.
MlCHAEL
Of course, but that's because they've been taught the exact opposite for all of their life. My counselors were absolute shit looking back.
youmoron
Young people. They always seem to have the right idea.
