I deal in truths. My currency. Hard, not like bitcoin. The secret is you have to work on yourself and that is it. No manifesting destiny, no wishboard, no secret. But there is a massive amount of work to get through to become great. Around 5000 hours per subject.
Everybody clicks on this link first. I genuinely divide people on this planet into 2 groups, those who get it and those who don’t. There is no inbetween. This is a boolean. Not an interval.
I never read the book — heard it is hot garbage tho.
Listen up here real close champ, there is no destiny.
Please, wake up to the reality we live in. Look around. Who is in charge of this clown-show and this planet? There are thousands of problems that could be solved today but won’t be. Who runs this show? Ask yourself:
Who are these bums?
Answer: Guys with the keys.
Confidence
Some people find it in music, some in math, some on track some in the front…
and maybe it is waiting for you in the back. I will check again in the back. What do you know, it is in stock, where should I send it?
Time
The most valuable, irreplaceable resource. If you find a way I can buy more, I am willing to pay one billion for one more day. There is no afterlife. Better rip that bandaid now.
Read
Nothing is more important than reading. It carried my whole family through life. The best part is that virtually all knowledge is readily available on the Internet. Now. Do you know how to find the right book? ChatGPT? Here is a free tip.
Befriend a librarian
I work in SEO for a decade, looking up stuff is my job. These guys taught me how to do it properly and are low-key SEO experts. Every librarian is like a Pokémon — you have to play into their strengths.
Notice how all my other nuggets of knowledge are as generic as possible, but here I decided to be absolutely clear because it is !important. Do you want to know how to catch a librarian? Ask them about a book. Any book. Go from there. Done.
Dont have sex with people who don’t read
It is disgusting, just like people who don’t wash hands. Wash your brain with knowledge. If you do not read you will not make it anywhere in life. Quote me on this. Only this way we can prevent Idiocracy becoming a prophecy.
Work less
I don’t work anymore. But I care. about myself, my business, my relationships and most importantly the greater good. I am a busy guy, I don’t pick up phones.
But I will pick up the phone when my friend calls me at 4am.
You know why? I am still up.
It is 4:56 right now and I am at work. Home office alone. In the shadows.
I grind my own wheat at sunup so you can have bread in the morning.
The secret recipe is being prepared. Like a boy-scout over here.
I gladly stay late and feed the chickens, you can sleep in.
I will get the eggs you can buy them for 12 bucks.
Oh. I also work as a minimum wage gas station attendant. On the side. Full time.
I couldn’t find a job with less responsibility in bikeable distance. I despise commutes so much that I refuse to work anywhere that isn’t bikeable distance.
I work 12 hour shifts, there is only just enough customers for me to squeeze 4 hours of computer time there. I carry my OverThinkPad everywhere. Suddenly, I have time whole new job. Just like that. Huh.
Create a system
2 birds with one stone? Can we do 5? Negotiate with life. I try to minmax my life to the point I am starting to feel I am making passive income. Yuck. Humans colloquially refer to this phenomenon as getting your schiit together. The jurney starts in the bathroom. Usually. Been there done that.
Try
Read books, apply knowledge. If you have above room temprature IQ, you will make money within a year, guaranteed. The biggest obstacle to hapiness is that people never explore “what if”. And that brings me to:
Curiosity
Be nosy.
Weak
Know your weaknessess. Mine is pettiness. They measured me 3,6 John Olivers. It is my achiless heel. I will die by it. But you know what? I will be petty. I know what I have.
Motivation
I want to live comfrably and in peace. I wish the same for everyone on this planet. Is that too much ask? Apparatenly, yes. I work for it and once I have enough I will carry all of you bums with me.
You want motivation? How much? I have spare. Unlimited supply. I know a guy. Me. Write me an email and I will give you a bucket for free.
Strong
I order the spieciest wings they offer 🌶️. Although, they dont have vegan wing most places, but that is a story for another time.
Knowing your weaknesses is one thing. Knowing your strenghts is arguably important. This way you can minmax your life and live like a king.
We already know that confidence is the key, but you need marketable skills to eat and pay rent. I like writing so I work towards making that my living. Give me a year, 2 guys from Ostrava and we will finish The Sagrada Família in Barcelona in no time.
I know what I can do and it is a lot. Be like me.
It is not that hard, I am a bum, I failed math once.
Money
Problem for losers in life. There, I said it. There is work everywere. I just started working with a guy on an IT business and we are already drawning in work. I am yet to earn money from this endeavour, yet I am already looking for people.
The problem is that people are usually useless. You have to make a plan, stick to it, exectute, correct course and you get rich as a byproduct of being awesome. Or you can be awful and work for a tabacco company, your choice. But dont tell in my actual face that there is no work.
Be serious buddy.
Choice
I am extremely privilaged person. By that I mean I will inherit a flat and maybe a bit of land. And more importantly, I have access to clean water, food, peace and every tool imaginable on this planet. I can become whoever I want. So do you. People often forget about the given and I dont respect people living in decently working democracy complaining about the lack of opportunities for self-realization.
Food
Eat balanced diet. Not vegan, not keto. Balanced. I stopped eating meat almost completely, but that is a moral choice. Dont drink alcohol. I stopped cold turkey, it is doable. I still have my vices, but diet is 101. What you put in is what you put out. Just like ChatGPT.
Kalos kagathos
A new word many of you I am sure. Basically, you have to keep the balance of the mind and the body. Excercise both regulary and you will live to your full potential, doing 24-hour shifts in your own company like its eating poptards. I wont get into it, its on wiki.
Time
Very limited, only thing you cant buy. The only rule that is exactly the same for every person on this earth. I mean, so far. Act appropriately. Notice how much stuff I solved on this one page and compare it to people who made a career of telling people how to setup Shopify.
Work
I work right now. I dont have time off, I am not a scrub. Everything I do makes me money, it is called active income. When my hands stop dealing cards I starve. The passive income comes with first million you make. And no, that is not a lot of money in any earthly currency. After that you are just collecting bills like they are Pokemon cards, albeit I have to say stocks are a very dangerous casino. Just avoid all types of casinos.
Read
Books. Do you need recommendations?
