In a follow-up to his pre­vi­ous arti­cle on the same sub­ject, Po Bon­son asks, ‘What should I do with my life, now?’

Don’t tell me you don’t know what you want from your life. Don’t ever say that, don’t ever fool your­self into that stu­por. Of course you know what you want — you know the feel­ing you desire — ful­fill­ment, con­nec­tion, respon­si­bil­ity, and some excite­ment. The real prob­lem is fig­ur­ing out how to get it — how to find a path that doesn’t suf­fo­cate those nat­ural feel­ings in you. Which is hard. Of course it’s hard. It’s sup­posed to be hard. If it weren’t hard, you wouldn’t learn any­thing along the way, and thus you would never get there. If you don’t know how to make the best of a bad sit­u­a­tion, you will never get there. If you are not will­ing to put up with some shit work, you will never rec­og­nize that a good oppor­tu­nity is star­ing you in the face. If you are not will­ing to be hum­ble and repeat­edly be a begin­ner in new areas and learn the details faster than the next guy, you are not capa­ble of transformation.
