20s: you care what people think. 30s: you ignore what people think. 40s: no one was thinking of you. 50s: you realize your youth was wasted. 60s: friends start vanishing. 70s: parties are memorials. 80s: you measure time in “lasts.” 90s: you stop buying green bananas.

We will know things have changed when we finally start playing offense and make them react to us. Let’s stop “fighting back” and take the initiative

When will we start to play offense and make them respond to us? We will only take action in response to their actions and this reaction is cautiously calculated to avoid any appearance of escalation
