Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

On IG Reel I saw excerpts of an interview with Taylor Swift where she was talking about her songwriting career.
She started songwriting at age 12 (she was just learning to play the guitar and her guitar teacher got her into songwriting too)
She was the youngest artist ever signed by Sony Music, at age 14.
One more day to the UOB Presale for Singapore Eras concert; 3 more days to general sale and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) release.
It's good that she's so talented but truly her rezeki is because her parents can kaw2 support her sampai pindah to be nearer to Nashville
Ya i've thought about success in this kind of context too. Michael Schumacher is/was also similar.
Raw talent, was in the right place to develop that talent at the right age (nashville and europe), physical attributes (she's cute as a button. and he's light and fit enough to be competitive in carts), parents' support (and often, their wealth), mental fitness etc.
When someone has all these attributes it's stacking multiple compounding boosts and they become absurdly successful.
Textbook case of privilege - good fortune is not a bad thing, but it truly can give that extra boost. Unless you're super talented, and super hardworking and fits the job you want e.g. Oprah. Or else can cincai do stuff and still be successful... Like uh... 🦆 scarves hahahaha
True, that is indeed a privilege. But what is this "🦆 scarves" thing?
