But how will it fail?

The wrong answer is, “it won’t.”

If you buy a piece of tech, it will break. If you buy an asset of some sort, it’s likely to go down in value one day. If you start a project, you will one day walk away from it. And everything that is alive will die. Refusing to answer the question doesn’t make it more likely that it won’t fail. All it does is make the failure more painful.

Learning is the foundation of the human experience

Learning is the foundation of the human experience. When we are young, we don't know any better and end up with a "self" that has been programmed into our minds. Learned from our environment. Learning, through any medium, influence our thoughts. Especially if what we are learning is repeated, or conditioned, into our heads. Our thoughts influence behavior. Meaning, anything that you learn or consume shapes who you are and how you act in this world.

Your perspective is the frame from which you perceive reality

Your perspective is the frame from which you perceive reality. Like a camera. The field of view, even if the background is blurred, constrains what registers in the frame itself. By manipulating your perspective in any situation, you can perceive what used to be problematic as a minor road bump.

The main spiritual problem is that people never change

In the real world, the main spiritual problem is that people never change. They identify with beliefs, their job, and the life path that impressed them. Their ego never changes, because it doesn't want to. Once they've reached that point in life, they cease to learn, stack skills, and "level up" to the point of more opportunities being available to them. By improving your skill set, you are able to take on more complex challenges in life. By taking on more challenges, you acquire the knowledge and experience that expands your awareness.

You can create a game out of any situation in life

What few understand is that you can create a game out of any situation in life. If you can mold your mind to create a fun game, life becomes enjoyable. If you can't, your mind will be molded into playing societal status games. Going to college, getting a high-paying job, or taking another structured approach to life eases the initial suffering that sovereign living implies.

Asking what makes someone successful

Asking what makes someone successful is like asking which ingredient makes a recipe taste good. It’s not any single ingredient. It is the combination of many ingredients in the right proportions and in the right order—and the absence of anything that would ruin the mixture.

How long is “never”?

It changes. It changes as we age, and it changes depending on the situation. A second-grader might think that a boring class is never going to end. A bad cold might feel endless unless we have the perspective of someone who has experienced a chronic problem. Some things actually deserve “never.” But most of what we’re worried about probably would be better categorized as “eventually.”
