There are a few very important points that someone very wise told me: 1. Someone earns ten times more than you do in a 9-to-5 job because they have more "leverage" over their work. 2. Distraction is the number one killer of achievement. It stunts and kills the brain. 3. You should not seek counsel from those who are not in your desired life stage. 4. Nobody is coming to solve your troubles. Your life is completely your responsibility. 5. You do not need 100 self-help books; all you need is action and self-control. 6. Unless you went to college to master a certain specialty (e.g., doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can earn more money in the following 90 days by simply learning sales. 7. Nobody cares about you. So quit being shy and go out there and create your own opportunities. 8. If you find someone wiser than you, collaborate instead of competing. 9. Smoking provides no benefit in your life. This behaviour will simply slow down your thoughts and reduce your concentration. 10
