Takeaways from my mentor
I meet with my mentor as and when he’s available. He manages my family’s money and he’s very good at what he does - his firm manages about $5 billion, and I have great conversations with him.
I don’t want to talk too much about him, but he came from a lower middle class background and today is wealthy beyond comprehension. He could buy a plane or two in the middle of the night if he wanted.
Today we focused a lot of personal growth in my career.
He gave me two books - The Inheritors by Sonu Bhasin and Fortune’s Children by Arthur Vanderbilt.
Here are some brief takeaways:
Work backwards from the outcome you want.
Define the outcome of where you want to be and plan it backwards to your current position.
2. Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate.
Life is all about elimination. Don’t focus on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. Eliminate all the things you know you’re not good at, you have no interest in and that make you depressed.
3. Intellectual honesty.
Be honest with yourself about things you are good at and are not. The easiest person to fool is yourself.
4. Read one business biography a week.
Everything you’re going in life, there’s a 99% chance someone else has gone through it and come out of it victorious. He also mentioned this article.
5. Outline 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses.
6. (In business/ corporate careers) You’re either primarily an investor (you’d rather fund companies and start ups than start them), an operator (you’d rather build something hands on), or a manager (you’d rather periodically manage something hands off. Like for instance you could have your own franchise bakery chain where you don’t need to exercise minute control over every franchise but you still ensure that there’s some managing done from your part).
7. Do not have extreme ideologies at this age.
Not when it comes to religion, politics, etc.
8. Emotions, money and your time are something you need to be ruthless about. Absolutely ruthless.
Be careful about the friends you have and the influence they have on you.

Damian enrages a ghost from the GZ after they said there's no one who works harder than them to keep thier city safe. The ghost decides to switch the bats of Gotham with Danny Phantom so now the bats are stuck In Amity Park protecting the place and Danny is stuck protecting Gotham as Phantom.
The bats are playing thier cards close to thier chests cause all of these heros showing up the same time as thier civilian counterparts is going to be super suspicious so they gotta be clever.
Danny in the meantime is kinda freaking out but the ghost had at least told them what was going on before booting everyone out of thier respective dimensions. Luckly for Danny Nightwing is officially Bludhavens hero not Gothams and he and "Agent A" help him learn the ropes properly. Danny is glad to finally have a mentor despite the situation. Nightwing seems thrown when Phantom mentions it and starts asking a lot of questions about both his home life and his hero career back in his home world.
Needless to say neither he nor Alfred are pleased and don't want him to go back. Danny doesn't really wanna go back either but what else could he do?
Turns out he didn't need to cause one bat is scary enough, but nearly the whole flock? Disaster. Especially for Vlad, the GIW and the Fentons.

Its always neoptolemus was unhinged. Neoptololemus took his father's rage and pride and doubled it. And never odysseus taught him the art of war crimes
#neoptolemus#Odysseus#Anyway I started the philoctetes#And I'm legit five minutes in#And odysseus is like okay here how we gatekeep gaslight war crime our way to success#Who let this man be neo's mentor#Who's idea was that#I just want to talk

what if fake peppino actually was bruno before he was peppino 👁️👁️
#pizza tower#pizza tower bruno#bruno pizza tower#pizza tower pizzaface#tl;dr bruno was the previous owner of peppino pizza and was peppinos mentor#bruno got a job offer at the pizza tower and so he gave the pizzeria to peppino instead#the pizzeria started losing customers cause it changed owners and the pizza didnt taste the same#pizzaface (like the airheaded fuck he is) thought the success came because pf peppino so he wanted to turn bruno into peppino instead#they get into an argument yadda yadda and fake peppino is born :)#the reason why fake peppino looks so odd compared to the other peppiclones is because he was actually built on bruno#while the other peppiclones were made of cheeseslimes from zero#which are easier to mold

mentor!Sukuna probably sits Yuuta down and holds an initiation ritual through 盃事 and Yuuta just goes, “S-sir, I can’t drink alcohol yet 🥲🥲”
and then he does this again after he’s mentored Yuuta for a few years, but this time, it’s a succession ceremony :’>>
STOP THIS IS SO CUTE!! HE'S LIKE A SECOND LITTLE BROTHER TO HIM!! IM GONNA CRY
#liv got mail#sukuna is mean and crass and generally unfriendly and doesn't even WANT to be a teacher#but he gets roped into mentoring yuuta bc he's the only special grade strong enough to teach him (other than gojo who already had students)#and he definitely hates it at first and is not particularly good at it#but he sees a lot of yuuji in yuuta#and starts to appreciate who yuuta is in his own right#starts genuinely celebrating his development and his successes as proudly as if they were his own#sukuna shows genuine emotion one (1) time in regards to yuuta and a shiver runs through the rest of the students/teachers#and then they all IMMEDIATELY tease him for being soft#remi i'm not going to survive this#jjk instructor!au#jjk hcs

Always wondered what the fandom consensus about this is (or if there is one). Also, why do you think grimwalkers and/or Hunter don't have magic? Is it a natural part of being a grimwalker, is it because their ortet was human, or did Belos do it on purpose?
#please please i am so curious#toh#the owl house#hunter toh#toh meta#polls#my rambles#I don't have like super firm feelings about this but#i guess my headcanon is that previous golden guards did have magic and that Hunter is the first successful one without a working bile sac#belos experimenting with the formula and it not always working out could help explain the sheer number of grimwalker skeletons#also if darius was being mentored by hunter's predecessor i would think he'd notice if the guy couldn't do magic#and if that's the case him making fun of hunter for it is SO dickish#which isn't necessarily out of character lmao especially if he resents hunter for being the guy's secret love child or something#just. not really caring and needling at whatever is most effective to get under his skin#yeah I really can go whatever way with this but I think it's interesting if hunter is the first one without magic

sometimes pecco pops his pussy so hard that i’m like wow you really are 3 time world champion! other times he decides to go play in the gravel when leading and i remember that he scored 0 points in his moto3 rookie season
when the commentary during the sprint was like 'you know, he could have been on five consecutive race wins now if he hadn't crashed out of the catalunya sprint on the last lap', I had to laugh because that's the pecco bagnaia experience right there isn't it. even when he's winning four races in a row, a part of your brain is still remembering the disaster that directly preceded it. when he got that track limit warning, I was convinced he was gonna mess it up. not because it's something he usually messes up, because it isn't - just because you're always waiting for something to go wrong and that seemed as good an opening as any. but no, apparently he's just in the bit of the season where he wins stuff. for whatever reason. or maybe he'll crash on sunday. who knows
#ask made me laugh cheers anon#the moto3 campaign is just such a perfect detail. when uccio was like wow this child should smile more#real character establishment moment. the saddest little ferret in the whole wide world#pecco does slightly break my brain because *nothing* about him suggests he should be capable of these kinds of runs of form#like I get how he wins titles. I don't get how he wins this many races in a row. where does this pace come from where does it go#I'm always like 'well y'know he's a smart rider... he WORKS his way to success' okay maybe or maybe he's just obscenely fast...?#at least catalunya mugello assen I kinda get why you'd be fast in all of those places. I mean *gestures* look at his mentor#his 2022 run...? buddy what is wrong with you#I quickly pulled up the 2022 season again and just looking at the results table gives me a migraine#//#brr brr#batsplat responds#yes he's not the first inconsistent rider who sometimes catches fire but you do not win CHAMPIONSHIPS like this my fucking god#decades worth of people blathering on about titles being won on your worst days. well CLEARLY not#current tag

Vale talking about Cele.
#I'm sorry the academy and it's success is actually kinda baffling to me#a lot of players launch academies to train younger folks#and it almost never works#but it did for him#training and taking care of young sportspersons is surprisingly difficult#and yet#imo academy is in some ways even more impressive than the world titles#especially when young vale had his silly little wild child past with no care in the world no gods no masters no prisoners#and then maturing into a mentor#yeah no I need to shut up about Vale#vr46 riders academy#vr46 boys#celestino vietti#valentino rossi#cele#vale#motogp

I’ve mentioned this before but edgeworth and Daniil feel like very similar to me but the one thing I think makes me really draw a parallel between them is the fact they both get viewed as heartless cruel people by both people in universe and the fanbases as well.
#also there’s the fact both clearly have suicidal tendencies#no I don’t think miles edgeworth chooses death was meant as just him as a prosecutor#he knew how that note would be taken…he absolutely made an attempt on his life#and Daniil caoanily talks about debating suicide#they both get their world completely shattered in quick succession#Daniil with his lab being completely destroyed and edgeworth with finding out his mentor killed his father#look I have the pieces for this comparison I just don’t know if I’m smart enough to piece this together properly#talking to the void tag

What does he look like as drowned rat?
Them, in all their drowned rat glory.
They start off as a really good agent, filled with confidence and really convincing to others! Then start to find out things on their own that the agency would rather they don't know (also through very illegal means but hey, whatever) and decide to dip.
Before leaving though, they act as the mentor to Clifford, a young and impressionable agent in training... and make sure that he's the best agent he can be according to their very harsh standards. They then even tell the higher ups, hey, kid's ready and you should give him a nice name for missions. And then suggests Bravo, convinced Clifford will accept any code name with gratitude, they want it more personal. But like. Personal to /them/.
So every time someone uses that code name, it's basically praising their hard work with the guy. Anyone who uses the name Bravo is acknowledging Clifford's skills, but more importantly, acknowledging the one who gave him those skills.
#two crime bosses and a very good boy#i really want to assign the mentor a code name but i cant decide on what they would be called#and i need to figure out a few more things about them but still! i like them a lot#theyre basically a very malicious Good Guy who just goes rogue because the agency isnt effective enough#like they do actually want to do Good Things but they want to do it in the worst way possible#very bad at being a good person but doing that very well ya know#and i know i dont really make many nb characters and i know i make a lot of guys#but mentor does use they them pronouns o7 like i know a few people who have said he with them#and ive said he as well simply because originally i did think id make them a him#but then i started thinking about how cool a lady mentor would be and then it evolved into#i just want the mentor to be a puddle... a blob of being..... just this sentient scum bag..... yeah....#so theyve been through the ringer already with just me trying to settle on pronouns oops#and if you dig really deep down in their heart they really do like cliff it just doesnt really show up much#and it shows up very selfishly but they do actually like the little guy and they do want him to be successful and good

It's getting to the point where instead of being encouraged, I just get pissed when people tell me their friends' success stories with getting jobs as software devs without formal education.
Everyone is like "oh yeah my friend did it without a degree, you can too!" And I'm like ok how did they get past the auto rejectors that won't even look at you if you don't have a degree? How good were they before they were hired, and who supported them while they educated themselves? Or who agreed to take them under the wing and give them a chance even though they were green?
I know people are trying to be encouraging but it's starting to feel less like "I believe you can do it" and more like "if you haven't done it yet, what's wrong with you?" They'll be like "you don't need a degree to succeed, just a willingness to learn" and I'm like, I know that as well as anyone, but to the people responsible for making budget decisions, I'm too much of a risk. What do I have to show for myself to them?
Like at the end of the day it just feels like either these folks were super lucky or I'm super unlucky and either way, hearing their stories doesn't usually help or encourage me. I'm fighting an uphill battle here trying to convince folks who think we're in an economic downtown, that a US-based junior developer is a good investment. Yuck. If you don't have anything helpful to say then at this point just don't say anything 😭
#I've always done my best learning on the job#and I'm an extremely loyal employee#to a fault definitely#but nobody is hiring junior devs or if they are it's ALWAYS offshore#I'm busting my ass trying to learn enough to make myself look like the viable candidate I think i probably am#but I'm trying to learn around a full time job and I'm the sole breadwinner and have been for years#which is fine! i don't mind! but it does make it hard to progress in something so brain-intensive when 40hrs per week is eaten by my job#and it's just a really bad time to be looking for work as a developer#idk anything about the economy but whether or not we're in an economic downturn. execs think we are#and their opinion is in some situations more influential than actual truth. this is one of those situations#my company keeps saying they're in the best financial spot they've been in since before the pandemic#but the only non senior devs they are hiring are offshore#which sucks bc they used to be really good about hiring for devs internally among people who proved their worth#i missed the last wave of that by about two years#anyway. I'm just frustrated and annoyed#stop telling me your friends' success stories unless you have specific actionable feedback#and even then think twice if you aren't in tech yourself cause i get a lot of weird advice#or unless you're offering to connect me with your friend who can either mentor me or get me a job themselves#I'm tired of hearing about it#'just put yourself out there!' just put yourself out of my earshot
