Ngl, as a writer, I find these stories terrifying more than I find them inspiring
‘Squid Game’ creator Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote the show in 2009 but was rejected by studios for 10 years.
He once had to stop writing the script + sell his $675 laptop due to money struggles.
Today, it’s

If you think the main reason people send their kids to private school is to get top grades, then you misunderstand the entire point of private schools
Separating your kid into elite circles changes so much of their life, you don’t ’catch up’ because you went to a top uni
private schools are so funny honestly, we got the same grades and went to the same uni and my parents didn’t fork out 30k a year for it and it will never not be funny to me

The Will to Change is referenced so much but I feel like the main point it makes is never highlighted
