Hello everyone,
Two quotes I've grown to like in the past few weeks is: "We learn life only through personal experience", "The world is never as you expect".
A few months ago @WJK suggested I'd go homeless for a few days, she said it'll change my attitude forever, it did. I went on a camping trip to one of the most dangerous place in my country and saw how monstrous life can get. I also tried getting into a relationship and got used so bad.
I'm 21 years of age and I've changed my conveyor belt to what I think will better develop my mind into thinking more clear, I dropped every source of instant gratification I had, from foods to activities, read about psychology and I now can see why self-made people hate the government. This quote from TMF "If you lived in an aquarium, would you rather be the shark or the guppy? Sharks eat . . . guppies get eaten." has lots of meaning once one starts questioning how people got where they got. Also "I wanted a fast car in reality" makes lots of sense once one educates himself about human psychology and how certain industries such as the video game industry work.
One thing I can see clear now is making money is never about making money. Funny how shattered my mind was a few months ago. Makes you think that we're just what our environment forces us to be.
I now plan on following my field of study which is software development, I plan on entering the world of algorithmic trading afterwards for its location-free advantage, in the end, the fastlane is never about money, but about freedom.
MJ, you've done a great job in researching your market, thanks man for the books.
I'll go construct a life now.
Cheers
