My wife rules

by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 25, 2005 3:15 AM EST
She knows me so well, today she surprised me by flying in an old friend from high school for a night of non-stop gaming just like we used to do in the old days. There were just four of us, but I couldn't have asked for more.

We've got one more house meeting tomorrow afternoon, then we'll be done with the meetings for this trip down here. I hate the fact that I know this weekend is going to go by very quickly, but I've enjoyed it so very much.

Goodnight all :)

    I agree with SDA. I know quite a few teenagers and trust me despite being smart they are plain lazy. And their social life comes off as a priority (not that there's anything wrong it) but you have to sacrifice something in order to achieve success especially at such a young age. Anand would've never come this far if he went out every night with his friends instead of working on AnandTech.

    There's a thin line between envy and jealousy. Maybe it's more like a gradient. Point is, they're close together.

    Anyway, the problem with those teenagers is that a lot of them suck at what they do. Maybe they're tone-deaf or tasteless and want to make music, maybe they can't write but want to make a comic or novel. A lot of them are smart kids, but that doesn't mean they have any talent in the area they want to spend their life in. In fact, many of them really suck at it (no offense, kids, follow your dreams). Most people with relevant talent and lots of drive attain a considerable measure of success. Especially if they have moxie and sass.

    "Well, let's not forget that one of the reasons for his success is is hard work and knowledge. How many teenagers do you know would put their social life on hold just so they can grow a site?"

    Lots of teenagers put their social lives on hold to work on some grand ambitious project; be it a web site or a programming project or a novel or a comic or to make music. And a lot of them are very intelligent too.

    The difference is a few are very successful at it and most aren't.

    I don't know him personally; I'm sure he deserves everything he has. More power to him. I'm just envious; not jealous.

    Well, let's not forget that one of the reasons for his success is is hard work and knowledge. How many teenagers do you know would put their social life on hold just so they can grow a site? Not very many. Social life is the last thing people would put a hold on.

    Anand has worked hard (and I mean HARD) for the last 8 years. And now his hard work is paying off.
