Easiest ways to get rich:
1. Sell men lust
2. Sell women beauty
3. Sell parents peace
4. Sell kids dreams
5. Sell the rich safety
6. Sell the broke hope
Same game. Different packaging.
The coming age belongs to the men who can build with their hands and think with their souls. The man with ten degrees and soft hands will starve while the man who can fix an engine and quote scripture will be building the new world. The theorists had their century. Now it's time for the smiths
A professor once explained ‘marketing’ like this:
1. You tell a girl, “I’m rich, marry me.”- That’s Direct Marketing.
2. Your friend tells her you’re rich- That’s Advertising.
3. She walks up to you and says, “You’re rich, marry me.”-That’s Brand Recognition.
4. You tell her you’re rich and she slaps you. - That’s Customer Feedback.
5. Before you say anything, your wife arrives.- That’s Market Restriction. 😄
Most things you see day to day had a decision behind them. That parking meter, someone had to decide to put it there. The butter is at the back of the grocery store was several decisions, of where to place the refrigerated sections, where it’s been sourced, to even make it at all. Even the subtleties of our world are all highly intentional. I feel like I take that for granted
Fun fact: 95% of jobs that do require a college degree don’t actually require a college degree, we just made it illegal to test job applicants for intelligence, so companies use diplomas as a proxy.
it's so weird how so many people are poorer than they've ever been, with houses full of ad-blaring listening devices and groceries with ingredients that slowly kill them, and they're just like "yeah this is cool"
I’m a firm believer that if you feel stuck or depressed in life it’s because your soul is asking you to make a change or do something radically different and you’re not listening.
i want to be your second priority. Your first priority should be you - YOUR ambitions, your life, and your future. Stay focused! I want the best for you. Don't let me be a distraction; let me be your motivation, your support, and your partner in growth.
This is what having a gift for writing looks like. Guy is in a league of his own. Make X valuable again by promoting more posters like him
(Another one of my all time favorites below)
Everything we produce is collective. Your laptop isn’t the result of one genius, it’s thousands of years of serial human knowledge. The idea of “individual achievement” is a fable used to rationalise extreme wealth concentration.
read with hunger. with jealousy. with the itch to know how the master did it. writing isn’t just born from inspiration. it's’s born from craft. and craft is studied, borrowed, stolen, honed. one sentence at a time.
Highly recommend being friends with ambitious people. Their drive pushes you to work hard for yourself. They also inspire you to do better, be better. Their good traits rub off on you. You start to want better for yourself and you grow.
