Let's call him "Albert".
He's in his 30s, a bit eccentric. Met him last semester in an introductory computer science class. Thought he was a bit crazy as he seemed to have an obsessive level of focus on the material. At times he would call out the professor on things which seemed trivial. However, it was clear that Albert was a few steps ahead of the class.
I disregarded him as just another nerdy immigrant who's getting into computer science.
As it turns out, Albert owns his own home, drives an SUV, is married and works for himself. He owns a software company and has been coding and building stuff since the 90s. Albert's not yet a millionaire but I have little doubt he will be.
What I learned from this? It reminds me of something I read, "How you do anything, is how you do everything."
Albert's approach to class was how he approached his own life; he took complete control.
I can't imagine Albert sitting down and reading TMF or any similar books. He's too busy already working on a fastlane of his own.
It's one thing to read about this stuff, it's quite another to see it in IRL.
