The hatred and jealousy toward successful people is absolutely unreal.
I was always inspired by people who had money. I looked up to them. I wanted to understand how they got there. I was never jealous.
You should do the same.
Some people literally spend their entire lives belittling the wealthy while contributing absolutely nothing themselves.
Don’t be a hater. Let others success inspire you to create your own.
Greatness requires delusion.
Do you think Napoleon was delusional when he overthrew his own government and crowned himself emperor?
What about Alexander the Great when he sought to conquer the Persian empire?
More recently, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk.
These great minds have much in common, but one stands out above the rest….
Delusion.
The ability to see something no one else sees.
The ability to believe in something no one else believes.
The only line between delusion and vision is execution.
Make it happen.
There is nothing better than a great dinner with your friends and family.
Some of the best memories I’ve ever made with the people I love most have been over dinner at a great restaurant.
“I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God’s gift to man.”
Ecclesiastes 3:12-13
If no one believes in you, the first thing you should ask yourself is why…
Maybe you have a track record of losing.
Maybe you have built a bad reputation.
Whatever it is…
Once you discern it…
Say fuck the naysayers and go prove them wrong.
There are winners, and there are losers. No in between.
There is one main common denominator with losers…
They always have an excuse for why they lost. They have zero awareness on the fact that they are the problem.
You get rich by betting on things other people are wrong about. Because most "good" investments have their "goodness" priced into them, making them "mediocre" or "bad" investments in reality.
The key is to find something that looks bad but is actually good. Which means you gotta be willing to have people tell you why you're dumb (then wait). Then get called lucky. Then do it a few more times. Then have people say you're finally good.
But by the time they say you're good it already stopped mattering to you what they thought because why would you respect someone's judgment who was so repeatedly bad? They now only say you're good because everyone else does and not because they could ever make up their minds on their own.
