I Asked a Millionaire How He Did It, and He Said:
1. Never beg for a seat when you can build your own table. Read that twice.
2. Money attracts the woman you want. Struggle attracts the woman you need.
3. Never go back to the person who cheated.
4. A man who lacks purpose will distract himself with pleasure.
5. Sit me at the table where they're talking about self-growth, money, and goals—not other people.
After university, you have a few years to lock in and change the trajectory of your life—from poor, to middle class, and gradually to rich. If you waste those years because you think you have time, you risk becoming part of the statistics of the average person.
Grind and fight for your future now so you don't end up as one of those people who had potential but never became anything with it. Pressure yourself. Diamonds are formed under pressure.
A man has only 5 ways out of depression;
1. Making money.
2. Hitting the gym.
3. Believing in God.
4. Chasing his purpose.
5. Building a loving family.
Nothing else.
To achieve your dream life, you must first live and move like the person who has it. Once you prove to the universe that you are capable, it has no option but to yield.
There is a Japanese legend that says:
if you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident. If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place. If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming. The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first. Trust the detour.🍂

You should study what makes you defensive. The topic you avoid, the joke that irritates you, the question that feels insulting, the feedback you instantly reject. Defensiveness is usually the guard dog sitting in front of a weakness you have not trained yourself to face.
You only need 1 hour.
1 hour of building. 1 hour of writing. 1 hour of lifting. 1 hour of studying.
1 hour of any form of bettering yourself, because it quickly compounds.
1 hour feels like nothing until you look back 365 hours later and everything's changed.
