Hi all,
My name is Armin. I am a 37 years old IT Professional.
I love to discover new ideas. Unscripted really impressed me, although I may be part of the script? I read it and listened to it multiple times. I am not sure whether the other MJ books are worth reading, since I expect the same messages with more hands-on instructions on how to become a successful entrepreneur. I am not urgently working on becoming an entrepreneur.
What impresses me most about Unscripted is the part on hyperrealities. How the masses are guided by "truths" which primarily benefit the rich and powerful.
I am not a rebel at all and I feel far from having any "F*ck this" event. Life has been treating me rather well lately. (Wealth is the lack of wanting more?)
However, I feel that there is more to a career than a (safe?) job with a good income. Maybe I am playing along with the script, a bit like Cypher in The Matrix?
Recently, I learnt that I have a high IQ. I asked the counselor what I may do with this "tool" I was diagnosed with. Her answer was that I may want to start investing 2-4 hours per week, in addition to my full time job, to build something. Could be music, writing, or maybe a company?
Also, I think that I might have what it takes to create more value. Products which are really sought after and would add to my financial stability as well?
Primarily, I joined this forum to see what's on the mind of successful people. (Lurking?) But after reading the rules, I decided to introduce myself.
@MJ DeMarco : Thank you for your valuable contributions. You have inspired me to think
wider and bigger.
