This is a cycle that has repeated millions of times in life which I call “the seniority complex”. You know those time when you are in college and you talk to a graduate (who just started work) about your frustrations in college? They’ll say, “College life is the best, you should enjoy it now while you are there”.

Okay, fine. Then when you start working and you complain that the first few weeks you have nothing to do in the office, the seniors will say “Enjoy it while you can, because there will be a lot of work in the future”.

Okay, great. Then when you start to have a lot of work pouring in, seniors say “Enjoy it while you can because when you reach my level, you’ll have more shitty stuff to do”.

Right. Whatever. Then when you get promoted, seniors say “You think you have a lot of stuff to do? When you are a manager like me, there are more problems to solve.”

So, what’s the message they are giving here?

Simply put, it means: look to the past, because your future will suck.

For the positive thinkers, it means: Live the moment.
