I finished reading the book in 3 days time.
Actually, prior to reading this book I was suffering from severe depression because I had massive failures in my life.
I am from India so I might mention a few terms that might seem "new" to you.
The education system here is like this:
Kindergarten > Class 1-10 (Board Examinations at Class 10 to graduate) > Class 11-12(Science/Arts/Commerce stream)> Collge(3-4 years) >Higher studies(Optional)

Since I was in Class 8, I was interested in CryptoCurrency and the route it will take in the future to affect the world economy.
I learned about Bitcoins and tried to look for various ways to earn them. There was this forum called Bitcointalk.org where you would put signatures under your post to advertise specific websites. At the end of each week, they would pay you a certain amount of money for doing so.
Since my parents are living in the past and India was still not Digitalized yet, they refused to give me any money to invest in Bitcoins online. I didn't have a credit card/Bank account to work with either. These things demotivated me from continuing further.
After Class 12, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed. I was bemused and depressed for not investing in Bitcoin or any Altcoin.
To enroll in an esteemed college, we have to prepare for IITJEE(Entrance Exam for Engineering). I didn't like Chemistry. To get admitted into the best CSE(Computer Science and Engineering) branch of a college, you need to be good at Math, Physics and Chemistry (not Computer, they didn't have Computer Science as a subject in the Exam). I got into one of the top 5 colleges of my state (but couldn't make it to one of the best in the country) and that made my depression worse. The average package offered by my college was 5000-7000$ per annum. I hailed from a middle-class family and it was drilled into my brain that only doctors and engineers make a decent living in the country. I knew I didn't learn anything from college. The teachers came and read everything from a PDF file they provided to us. It was like listening to an audiobook without any explanations. They taught the wrong information about coding at times. I bunked college for months. I knew I had no future ahead. I started learning to code. In 4 months, I learned Java, C++, a little bit of C and Python.
However, because I was absent for months, I got a year back at college. I got rebuked by my parents and teachers. My computer teacher told my parents that students like me don't go anywhere in life. That I was a failure and they should hand me small business instead of letting me continue college. My depression was at its peak. Suicidal thoughts came across my mind. It was then that I started reading about Entrepreneurship and owning your own business. I was simply looking for escapism because I didn't want to accept what my teacher told me.
I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and it motivated me. I was amazed by his way of looking at money. Then I started watching Dan Lok videos on YouTube. I read the book Money Master the Game. It was an amazing book as well. However, I still lacked the proper mindset to start and I didn't know what exactly to do now.
A few weeks later, my friend recommended me this book and told me to make it my first priority to read it. I did that. On reading up to 50 pages, I was bought. The way MJ explained everything from Slowlane mindset to Sidewalk mindset to the importance of time and how money can bring a revolution to life, really lit a fire in me. Now I know what things to do and how to achieve them. I didn't value the importance of time. I was lazy.
Thanks to the author to make me realize that. You are amazing. I promise that I will put your knowledge to good use.
