10-year old kid knocked on my door
Offered to shovel my driveway for $20
I love encouraging young entrepreneurs
So I hired him to shovel all 10 houses on my block
Paid him $200. He was grinning ear-to-ear.
Little does he know, every single house is already a client of my snow removal business
They each paid $150 for my premium snow removal business
I made a $1,300profit by arbitraging labor
Welcome to capitalism, kid

Stoicism should be taught in schools. It offers a practical framework for living well in a chaotic world. It emphasizes focusing on what you can control- your thoughts, actions, and attitudes- while letting go of what you can't, like external events or others' opinions.
