It's Not Easy When You Have To Craft Your Own Lane Than Taking The Traditional Route.
But With Prayer + Dilligent Work + Unwavering Self Belief = You Will Definitely Achieve Anything You Want In This Life.
Why would BusinessTech headline this story by saying the CEO skipped Grade 9? South Africa has countless other exceptional students who skipped classes. Positioning it as a problem is ridiculous. BCCSA should really check this.
Doyle Brunson, one of the most feared minds poker ever produced, gives a piece of advice most players get exactly backwards.
it comes from an unedited 35 minute sit down with two poker legends, and this short clip carries the part almost nobody applies.
the whole idea lands in under a minute: in a home game, the bluff you love is the move that quietly bleeds you.
where the real value sits:
0:00 - the question that opens it, and why the best thing you can do in a private game is not to bluff at all
0:12 - the read on who actually sits in those games, people there for the excitement, not the money, hunting an excuse to call
0:30 - the brutal number, you get called 95% of the time, so your bluff is dead before you make it
0:44 - the twist, why you still bluff just often enough to advertise, so the calls come when you are holding the nuts
people torch real money at private tables running bluffs into players who were never going to fold. the fix is one adjustment, and it prints.
save it, watch it, then read the article below and think about your own home game.
A man who turned 7 million dollars into 500 million in 10 years sat on a desk in a classroom and taught the method to 30 students.
The man is Joel Greenblatt. He ran Gotham Capital from 1985 to 1994 at roughly 50% a year, then returned all outside capital in 1995 and kept running his own money. Almost nobody sustains that number over a decade.
A Columbia classroom in 2005. Chalkboard, blue plastic chairs, a camera at the back of the room recording for the students who missed it. He sits on the edge of the desk with a stack of paper.
He does not teach a screen or a formula. He teaches situations most funds cannot touch, the corners of the market where the usual buyers are structurally forced to sell regardless of price.
The first lecture is where he sets up why those corners exist at all, and why they keep existing after everybody knows about them.
The uncomfortable turn is what he says about diversification and about how few positions he actually held. It runs directly against everything the same school teaches two floors down.
It matters more now. Every screener is free, every filing is searchable, and the constraint was never information.
Free on YouTube, filmed from the back row, audio uneven, students blocking the frame.
He gave away 50% a year to a room of 30 people. The tape has been public for years.
One classroom. 1 camera. It is in the video.
A magician spent 10 years rigging card decks. then he became a Stanford professor and proved the market works the same way. he published the math for free. Wall Street still pretends nobody saw it.
his name is Persi Diaconis. his quote: "I've spent my life on two tricks. making a rigged deck look random, and making a random one look rigged. the market is the first trick, and almost nobody catches it."
the tilt is invisible to human intuition. a 50.75% edge buried inside what looks like pure chance. your gut reads a losing week as a broken system and a hot streak as skill. wrong both times. that's exactly why funds hand the decision to the math.
it takes thousands of trades for a 51% edge to separate from luck. almost everyone quits before then. the ones who didn't quit manage the money now.
Diaconis has taught this for decades. the probability goes back to 1713. the lecture is free.
the patience to trust it past your own eyes is the edge.
Most people go to bed tonight exactly the way they woke up.
Same job.
Same account balance.
Same excuses.
There's a 1-hour MIT lecture on generational wealth.
It teaches more about money, compounding, and building something that lasts than 20 years inside a hedge fund ever will.
Wall Street trains you to make money for someone else.
This teaches you to build something for you.
The people who watch it tonight make one different decision this week.
That decision compounds for the next 20 years.
The people who skip it keep taking advice from people who profit off their confusion.
It's free.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Jim Simons made 66% a year for thirty years.
Nobody has come close.
Not Buffett. Not Soros. Not Druckenmiller.
Every quant fund since has tried to reverse-engineer
what Renaissance actually does.
They keep landing on the same wrong answer:
"More data. More compute. More simulations."
Last November, a mathematician from Stanford
gave a lecture that explains why they'll never catch up.
His name is Persi Diaconis.
He's the world's authority on when a simulation is telling you the truth
and when it's telling you a story.
His conclusion after forty years of research:
most of the simulations Wall Street runs today
are giving persistently wrong results,
and no amount of GPU will fix it.
The answer isn't more compute.
The answer is proof.
Simons required a proof before deploying a strategy.
That's the part nobody copied.
That's the part they can't.
Lecture below. Under an hour.
The most important hour you'll spend on markets this year.
One MIT lecture can reshape your financial mindset more than years of trial and error.
The difference between spectators and investors is often just one hour of focused learning.
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.

Anything you aren’t playing the long game in, is a waste of time. The saying If it ain’t worth 10 years it ain’t worth 10 minutes is true, thats how you have to see everything. Anything worth having is worth building and compounding the benefits over a long period of time… Relationships, businesses, partnerships, health, communities, portfolios.. you name it. If it ain’t worth 10 years it ain’t worth 10 minutes
