"90% of jobs can be taught... Give people a freaki "90% of jobs can be taught...
Give people a freaking chance!!"

-- Chad Gono

Companies need to stop obsessing over educational qualifications. Because people are capable of learning on the job. 

What else do you think companies need to stop prioritising? My answer: work experience.

Trying her best but always falling short.

Will she ever be at peace? Doesn't seem likely. 
Oh well. Good thing that life is short.

PS I zoomed into this selfie for a dramatic effect and also as the background displays a brand name. Why should I promote a brand for free when I don't even like it?

"What's the point of posting remote jobs if they all require you to be based in the US? What a scam.

Know your worth. That's what the poster behind me Know your worth. That's what the poster behind me says. 

I read it every single day to remind myself that my productivity is not a measure of my worth. 

After all, I am a human being. Not a human doing. 

The same applies to you. 

Let society glorify hustle culture all it wants...just make sure you don't do it. Because you are worthy irrespective of how productive you are. 

True, it's not possible for all of us to get out of the rat race. But that doesn't mean we have to live by its twisted rules.
