How much less likely students are to end up in low-skill, low-paying jobs after participating in the rootEd Alliance program, which staffs dedicated advisers at rural high schools to help students find college and career opportunities and resources in areas where there are few.

It was founded in 2018 by billionaire and former Goldman Sachs banker Byron Trott, who told The Wall Street Journal there’s “huge talent in these rural communities,” likely inspired by his own story: Raised in rural Missouri, Trott, whose school counselor was also his football coach and driver’s ed instructor, says his success was “almost accidental.”

From the Brain Food newsletter by Shane Parrish-

YouTuber Mark Rober on failure:

“Nobody who plays Super Mario Brothers or some video game for the first time falls into a pit and is just like: 'oh my gosh I fell into a pit, I failed, how embarrassing, I never want to play this game again.' You're like: 'okay crap, there's a pit right there. Okay, next time I'm gonna go a little bit faster, I'm going to jump a little earlier.' You immediately learn from the failure and you're stoked to try again.”

Spoiler alert--> the more you can do this within your real life, the stronger and more capable you'll become. That's all life is, I think, just a long series of trial and error from beginning to end. Even masters make mistakes. I mean, consider the platypus...
