COT:
Q reflected on working at Walmart. The best education in life comes in different forms 1) seek out education whether taking different jobs at work, volunteer work or Qing at F3. It might require stretching beyond our current pasture. 2) think about allowing our kids to learn from different experiences in life. Wandering out of the pasture might allow them to see perspectives and life lessons they might not have otherwise.

Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Else is Today
No matter how good you are at something, or how you rank your accomplishments,there is someone out there who makes you look incompetent.
You might object: I should be winning at everything! But winning at everything might only mean that you’re not doing anything new or difficult. You might be winning but you’re not growing, and growing might be the most important form of winning.
Happiness is to be found in the journey uphill, and not in the fleeting sense of satisfaction awaiting at the next peak.
