How to Get What You Want

4 hours ago

The advanced version of getting what you want is about positioning yourself to achieve the next step towards your goal, rather than obsessing over the end result.
Instead of applying to jobs directly, a better strategy is to leverage personal connections, like reaching out to a successful acquaintance (e.g., Rob), to seek advice and opportunities.
Persistence and a humble approach in communication can lead to progress, such as moving from a low-wage job to a better opportunity.
AI forces everyone to confront the fundamental question of 'how do I get what I want?', similar to historical human challenges.
The answer involves focusing on subproblems: positioning yourself today to make future goals more achievable, which is the best action you can take now.
