Episode 3742:

Chris Guillebeau challenges the dismissive phrase “welcome to the real world,” showing how it’s often used to stifle creativity, independence, and unconventional choices. Instead, he invites readers to reject limiting beliefs, embrace the present, and pursue the “living world,” where freedom, meaning, and purpose are found in truly being alive.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://chrisguillebeau.com/welcome-to-the-real-world/

Quotes to ponder:

“Please note: the real world is not reality. It is not defined by facts. It is determined by the collective perception of unremarkably average people.”

“The best years of our lives are neither behind us nor ahead of us. They are RIGHT NOW, so we’d better take advantage of them.”

“Some of us have not given up on the unrealistic. Some of us have taken the red pill. Some of us don’t want the things in the real world.”
