They're not marketing the pencil for doing routine stuffs. It's for artistic/note taking purposes that they're focusing on.

Life is a circle

Life is a circle- Grapevine

I noticed a pattern in myself. I chase a goal, I achieve it, be elated about achieving that goal for a few hours (A few days at best, if it's some really really great achievement), and everything feels the same again
I'm off thinking about the next thing. Once I've got it, my mind just goes "this wasn't such a big deal". I got a pretty nice rank in NEET UG and also cracked the internship at Microsoft. I have won hackathons. I have overcome my shyness about talking to strangers. I have a lot of things to be proud of. I came really close to killing myself but have managed to live on, and this is my greatest achievement by far. I just wish I could be happy.

TW: It can make you spiral

I was watching Tarla the other day (ah don't roll your eyes yet)
She started with cooking classes, then published books, then a TV show
A growth graph in life (sure, it is not exponential, but still upwards)

What are we doing in life?
One job to another, getting hikes, and repeating the same again.
Each company looks fab on social media, but is the same stinking shithole from inside.

Where am I going?
What's more to life now?
Every day is almost the same, except for some occasional bumps or problems which we solve in a week/month.

I will complete 3 years as a professional soon. Quit a Big4 to join a startup for better pay and faster growth but despite putting in my best work and leading initiatives, going above and beyond all the time, my peers are all earning better than me doing similar jobs.

i never had a financially aware upbringing. my father put us through hell due to his bad decision making and despite me being very financially savvy, am unable to save any money because im so anxious I tend to spend what I dont have. i had to take up a lot of freelancing to aid my lifestyle but now im busy all the time and have no time to myself. 

idk what to do. idk how much savings my parents have since I live away from them and dad never discusses his larger financial plans with me. he also does not have a stable job even at his age even though I know he is v hardworking and does his best. i feel i will never have enough money to support my parents and myself and feel like im running out of time. also doing interviews to leave this shitty company as well which is lowballing tf out of me. im not sitting idle at all, trying to startup on the side as well. i workout, eat and sleep healthy, have a great social life. the only problem is money which im constantly worrying about. i feel its a generational curse passed down to me. I know I have 10x earning capabilities but its all so vague and uncertain. I have an amazing support system and I know I can talk to my friends about this too. just thought of coming here first

please share stories if youve ever felt this way. open to advice feedback ideas. how did you get out of it? what can I do? 

what are some business/sales roles that pay really well that I can get into as an ex-big4 analyst? i dont think my current profile translates well anywhere. f*ck this company honestly. probably the worst decision I made coming here :(

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times."- G. Michael Hopf

How much truth is in this quote??
Does it really apply in today's fast moving world ?

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

What are your thoughts about being DINKS?

Today when I was deboarding my plan at Delhi. 2 guys started fighting literally abusing each other and pushing each other just because one wanted to rush early and other one was holding back. And then both waited at luggage belt for 30min 🤣🤣 that's life

Please respond honestly based on your experience. no words from books or random thoughts.
