SF Bro who bet on himself with his own cash right before fast roping onto a foreign president’s roof and stealing him like a snickers bar from a gas station is going to do more time than all of the Somali fraudsters who stole $18bn from Minnesota combined.

Do you know the absolute sickest dynamic in modern dating?
It is the illusion of endless options.
Nobody is actually building anything solid anymore because everybody secretly has a "roster" in their DMs.
The moment a relationship hits a normal, human roadblock, an argument, a financial dip, a slight misunderstanding, instead of communicating and fixing it, they just pick up their phone and reply to someone else's Instagram story.
We have become a generation of window shoppers. People will confidently throw away a 90% genuine connection just to go entertain a 10% fantasy, and then cry on the timeline about being lonely.
Andrew Huberman says that his friend, who's a chair of neurosurgery and possibly one of the greatest neurosurgeons in history, assured him that "more than half" of the information in medical textbooks today is false.
My family came to America in 1997 after the Bosnian war.
Parents fled Yugoslavia in a Yugo car with two grenades under the dash.
If the enemy killed my Dad, my mom would blow herself and everyone else up instead of getting gang raped.
Something that happened frequently then.
Drove for days. Stopping at gas stations to rummage through the trash for moldy bread to eat.
Finally got to Germany. Lived there for 5 years, had 2 kids.
Cleaned toilets. Worked on construction sites. We all lived in a one room apartment.
Papers ran out. Back to war you go. Either that, or The United States of America.
The magical words.
The life changing words.
Was a no brainer.
My parents, my brother, and myself.
30, 29, 4, 1 year old.
2 suitcases.
Pocket full of cash.
We went on food stamps for 1 week. 7 days.
Before my Yugoslavian college educated, proper, well spoken Mother became too ashamed to take government assistance.
So she scrubbed toilets in the evening. Then went to work at the battery factory at night.
Swallowed her ego. Enrolled in community college during the day.
Graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Then bachelor’s. Then masters. Then teacher. Then professor. G.
My dad worked around the clock. Don’t really have memories of him from when I was younger. That’s how much he worked.
He was the rock.
No emotions.
Man of few words.
Grove up in extreme poverty. Small town in Bosnia that will go extinct in 10 more years.
They did all of that, while raising, and giving me and my brother EVERYTHING.
We started from 0.
We are worth $10,000,000.00 now.
From 0.
All of us rich in the most important ways.
Healthy.
Happy.
Safe.
Blessed.
Together.
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Luck is worthless. You create your own luck.
Preparation + Opportunity = Luck
We’re going to argue generational lotteries? Seems trivial.
That’s like arguing about the sun. Some things we can’t control.
You know what we can control? Ourselves.
Get to work.
It might be harder for you than it was for us. Might also be easier.
You’ll never know if you don’t try.
Thinking anything but IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU.
Is already admitting defeat.
