Being young is all about go-getting, self-starting and swelling with pride when Pop-pop calls you a real firecracker. By the time you're 40, you'd
rather not show the world what you're made of because having cocktails
and spending as much time as possible in your underpants sounds better.
It's important to over-achieve when you're young and hungry, before life
dick slaps you.
There's no need to think for yourself when other people are thinking
for you. Market research and study groups have determined what jeans
you should be wearing, which cereal you should be eating and what color
your boyfriend should be. That means less time decision
making, more time shopping.
When in doubt, just check in with others in your ethnic group and tax bracket.
