    Billionaires Explaining To You Why A College Degree Is Useless

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If you have a specific goal in life and you know you can achieve it, then just start working for it. University might not be necessary.

    College is truly a terrifying experience.

    Well, sure, if you can pay for the expenses and don't have to get a job during that time, you probably can. And no, of course, you'll probably be making close to nothing. But, to me, it just seems like sacrificing time for money, and I wouldn't want to invest 2 more years of my time just to be...

    College is truly a terrifying experience.

    Fully ignoring what you can get out of an MBA (as it depends a lot on the college): There's also the time invested for that MBA (2 years) which you are neglecting. Sure, you will be getting a LOT more money if you stick to a job by getting an MBA, but we're talking about people that, at the...

    College is truly a terrifying experience.

    Unless it's working for a life goal and actually helping more than just my boss then I can see that.

    College is truly a terrifying experience.

    Whether the time you spend there is wasted or not depends only on you. A lot of the slow-lane indoctrinated people at my college also have the idea that the school should spoon feed them the knowledge they are there for. People don't pay for staying in class from Monday through Friday, some pay...

    Most of you will never make it. Sad!

    PEOPLE LANDFILL 
    Most people making/sharing these "motivational" quotes have absolutely nothing figured out in life. Some may post them for a good cause but they don't realize that, without a goal, a meaning and with all the vagueness around the term "successful", those words are empty and help absolutely no...

    Do we have to struggle and learn things the hard way?

    MINDSET 
    Sometimes it helps reading about something that you're 50% convinced about. After reading it, you might be 60% convinced about it ("yeah, this makes sense", "it's logical" etc.). But when it comes to learning from mistakes it goes something like: "I'm 0% convinced this will work", you do the...

    Man, I hope most of you are already aware of them...

    MINDSET 
    A few months ago I didn't agree with 7, even if you had told me that, I still wouldn't believe it. Why? My ignorance. Knowing these is just the event, documenting, reading and realizing why these are true is the process. You can't skip the process. If any of you still believe any of these, then...

    "Dead" mornings

    HEALTH 
    Thanks for the advice, I will definitely put this into practice. One complementary advice I've seen on this is to prepare everything you need for going to the gym the night before so that when you wake up it's much more accessible to go to the gym. As a matter of fact I started running a few...

    "Dead" mornings

    HEALTH 
    Usually, when one wakes up in the morning, drinks his coffee, he's able to concentrate on what needs to be done and actually do productive work. From time to time I come across one of the not so usual mornings where the coffee I drink energizes my brain to the point where it just can't stay put...

    How to Overcome Instant Gratification?

    MINDSET 
    "Feeling bad" and "Feeling good" is just a matter of perspective I think. Sure, you might be feeling exhausted after running 5 km at 6 AM in the morning but you were able to wake up at that ridiculous hour and overcome that barrier! You! Not one of your friends that stays till' 3AM to play that...

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    That's one reason I removed the timeline of my facebook with a plugin. Using it only to navigate through the different (small) groups I am a part of and chatting with others.

    The End of all Sidewalk/Slowlane Bashing

    SLOWLANE 
    I think not everyone is suited for the fastlane. As MJ said multiple times in his book: Some are just happy with the slowlane (especially if they like their job). The fastlane is not the only "right" choice Don't forget that you might have to work with those people (as your customers or...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Finished reading it as well. The stuff taught on this book make so much sense and should be common sense. It just hurts my head thinking that before this I thought that taking the slowlane path could make me rich and achieve my dreams. Thanks MJ for putting all this information on paper, without...

    Just an introduction title

    INTRO 
    I am currently an intern webdev slowlaner at some random company and student. I started being interested in entrepreneurship only 2 months ago. After reading TMF I fixed "driving on the fastlane" as one of my goals. I'm only 20 years old, I'm at the stage where I realized just how much there is...
