lol I don’t respond very well to this kind of pep talk. Like some guys really respond to the drill sergeant kind of “Man up, don’t be a bitch, approach that set!!” stuff, but I’m pretty chill/intellectual so these guys always come off as kind of knobs to me and my response is also “lol ya okay…”
“Ted: Nah, a lot of guys fold under social pressure. Guys like us have it easy, we have an easy training ground.
Me: What?
Ted: We’re half-minorities…really whole minorities, what’s the difference.
Me: Okay….
Ted: We gotta get lots of people to call you a nigger tonight.
Me: ……………………………………………………………I don’t want to die, or anything.”
fucking lol. The funny part to me is how insane this probably sounded to you, but I DO totally understand what he’s trying to say.
Basically imagine you’re a rich kid born into wealth. But say that to succeed in life, you need some financial management skills and know how to budget etc. Well, if you’re a rich kid, you’re not going to learn that shit…you would have to give away a bunch of your money or construct really weird scenarios just to get a chance to have a reason to learn that shit. You go travel around with no money trying to learn to budget, but then your mom sends you a $100,000 cheque on the road and you’re like “well fuck I guess I’ll just get my 5 star hotel room with this after all”. Like, you’re probably not going to learn to manage your money.
But if you grow up poor, you have “an easy training ground” to learn financial management skills, because every dollar counts and means the difference betwen eating or not eating that day. SO down the road when you hit those tests where you need money management skills, you fucking own it because you’ve had all this training that the rich kid didn’t.
