    14 y/o wanna-be-highschool(9th grade)- dropout.

    HOT! INTRO 
    This is how it works in America: Here's the reality, If you are able to start your own business and make enough money to support yourself then you don't need a high school diploma. BUT if you EVER need a job (besides minimum wage) most require a high school diploma or they won't even look at...

    Lost direction

    MINDSET 
    No goal means no results. Make a long-term goal. Then create an action plan to achieve that goal. Fit that plan into your schedule. Then do it. If you have no goal your goal is to get a goal. So your action plan is to sit down with no distractions and stare at a piece of paper until you figure...

    Formal Education is Overrated!(or not?)

    MINDSET RANT 
    Tech startups might be different but I personally don't know of any in my area and I bet most people would say the same thing. Obviously, if you are starting a company or at a startup they will care more about results. But if you want a job at any Fortune 500 or normal company they will have...

    Formal Education is Overrated!(or not?)

    MINDSET RANT 
    This isn't true at all. Why do you think all colleges will go bankrupt? They've been around for hundreds of years and are currently making more money than ever. People will still need college degrees to get jobs. The internet isn't going to stop employers from trashing resumes that don't meet...

    Formal Education is Overrated!(or not?)

    MINDSET RANT 
    I think the debate for schooling needs to be separated for clarity. People go to college to get knowledge and a degree. Take away the knowledge and people will still go. Take away the degree and they won't. The degree makes you qualified to get a better job, without it your resume is tossed in...

    The Ultimate Guide to Gaining Unlimited Willpower and Self-Discipline. No More Excuses.

    I'm honestly not sure, but some people say, "Write your goals down every day!" And I believe this helps because they are simply reminding themselves daily and are more able to remember their long-term desires when the moment comes.

    Yea Henry Hazlitt is a much better writer than me. He has some examples that are so relatable it's like he's seen your life. I just summed up some of his points and added a lot of my own based on what he said.

    I have read his other book, "Willpower doesn't work." All I can remember from that is how much your environment influenced you. I'll have to check this one out. Thanks!

    The Ultimate Guide to Gaining Unlimited Willpower and Self-Discipline. No More Excuses.

    MINDSET 
    I agree we make decisions based on emotions. But I believe emotions come first and then they shape our desires. So if I'm depressed my desire to sleep in goes up. Or if I'm angry my desire to yell goes up. I'm no expert on harnessing emotions but I would say what's helped me is learning a little...

    I have $1,000, should I invest? Save? Buy hazmat suit?

    If you don't mind me asking what is the quote? I'm curious. There are a ton of life-changing quotes in that book. One of his quotes applies to this thread. He was talking about what young people should do with their money and he says, "They ought to invest in themselves to increase creative...

    I honestly can't believe you wrote this. I'm in shock. Reading books like "My Life and Work" by Henry Ford is as productive as watching Stranger Things? You must not have read any quality books in your lifetime. Why do people believe this? You can learn how to become a Doctor by studying your...

    Then, once your bank account reaches a certain amount of zeros, and only then are books worth it. The logic.

    Tinnitus thread

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I used to have it really bad. Turns out I had a large lump of earwax stuck deep in my ear. After that was removed it slowly went away. I now try to clean my ears using Debrox ear cleaner (or whatever generic version) occasionally. Haven't had problems since.

    EXECUTION 
    It's been 2 and a half months since I've made this thread. And I have gotten nowhere. The first part of this journey was me trying to discipline myself to do the work. Then for some reason I started applying for a couple jobs and got a couple interviews to 2 of them. Both of these jobs would be...

    You justify it by understanding that this is just human nature. People buy a Lambo and it sits in their garage 99% of the time. Gyms makes tons of money on people not coming in but still paying the monthly fees. How many times have you bought something and not used it? It's just how we are as...

    Insane. That coin is worth $200. You know if it was a snickers bar or a $5 bill they all would have taken the $5.
