I would caution any young women not to be deluded into the idea that their career will be of such high quality that it self evidently trumps having a family. You have to have a hell of a career before that's the case

Motivation driven by necessity
One of the advantages of zero is that you're driven by brute necessity and that can really be motivating. That's I think why the children of first generation immigrants often do so well. They're driven by necessity

How do you know when you are incrementally self improving?
Incremental self-improvement is the proper route. So how do you know when you're incrementally self improving properly? - The answer is it's deeply engaging. It's deeply meaningful. And the reason for that is you're actually adapted neurologically to identify the pathway of maximal incremental improvement

Where is the meaning? - The meaning is in responsibility. It's a burden but voluntarily hoisted. It's the place of maximal meaning and the more responsibility you take the more meaning you have and that's the antidote to the catastrophe of life
