This theory that u lost a headstart in the money race and will
not catch up assumes 2 things.
First is that you lost a headstart.
In this case you are right, you lost a headstart. It's obvious,
your friend is earning money now, while you are not. You lost a
headstart.
OK.
Second is that you will never catch up.
While the first one is an observation, and an envalidated one, this
second one is a prediction of the future. This second premise, a
prediction essentially, is based on an entirely subjective, and
totally unreliable and unmeasurable computation.
It may well be that you will never catch up because his speed is
faster, or your speed is slower, or you end up gloriously catching
up because his speed slows down, or your speed increase relative to
him.
Prediction is thus futile. Believing or harbouring this second
premise as true hangs on too many variables, but you seem to have
already accepted this second premise now, which is based entirely
on baseless prediction of the future.
If you want to catch up with him then you have to increase ur speed
relative to him, since you lost the headstart. This is what it
matters. Observe which tracks have more speed, and which are not.
Observe how people increase or decrease their speed. That's all.
Dont indulge in self pity or accept the theory you will never catch
up. It's self-defeating.
I agree... notice i say "the female peers will have higher pay
than u when u start working. " of course you can
increase your speed... but the point is that there is already an
advantage over you.. something like the opponent got a
freekick...
While you can still score goals and win the game, u need to put in
extra effort... Now if the opponents( in this case the female peers
working) adopt a similar mindset as you, trying to figure out what
is the fastest tracks... or even found faster tracks than u due to
the sheer fact that they have more experience, aren't you still
going to lag behind? The assumption that u will catch up might not
hold too since the future is full of unpredictable variables.
Thus, ceteris paribus, the guy will lag.
