“And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas [i.e. bodies of water], one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.”
Quran chapter 25 verse 53.
People dumber than you are making millions
- Jake paul
- KSI
- The Kardashians
Money doesn’t flow for smart people, it comes to the most action-oriented people.
Jake paul started his career by doing 6 second skits on Vine, then switched to Youtube.
He's now worth $60 million.
What they taught us in school is the people with the better grades will do well in life…
If you study harder, a piece of paper with a grade will make you successful.
This couldn’t be further from the truth...
Smart people tend to overthink and figure out everything that could go wrong.
So they do nothing because it’s easier.
When I say “dumb people” here, I’m not referring to IQ.
I’m talking about people willing to take risks and look stupid in pursuit of their goals.
There's a direct correlation between willingness to look stupid and likelihood of success.
And the ‘risks’ I’m referring to could just be:
- Putting yourself out there online
- Emailing a company or a recruiter
- Shooting your shot to a potential mentor
Start with the small scary things, and add up your wins.
Over time, you’ll realise that in-action is more fatal than incorrect action.
Just stop for a moment and think of all the blessings in your life. Don’t you have so much to be grateful for? Make a habit of giving thanks to Allah Almighty for every little thing, and He will grant you more.
