Hi there,

so this is my story:

In 2019 I did my A-levels with flying colours and I was honoured the best student of my year.

Funny enough, I wasn´t always the best in class. No, I pretty much sucked at school in elementary school. C´s and D´s were my best friends. However, as I grew up, I had the vision to become a doctor. It was something I really really wanted to do. Besides the financial prosperity (which turned out to be a mistake), helping other people was something I felt very drawn to.
But I knew one thing:" You need great grades in order to go to medical school".

So I said to my self and swore to my mother "F*ck it, I will become the best student in my whole school and (funny enough) I will become so good that teachers I don´t know will know about me". Fast forward, I gradualy became the best student within 2 years of high school (see the process!) And yes, teachers I dind´t know really knew about me, they even approached me :) I worked harder than anybody else. I never let things to luck! I baricaded my self in my room and started studying more than anybody else. And at the end... guess what... I achieved my goal.

So here he is: The once bad student turn into the math and physics crack everybody wants to have private lessons from before exams.

However, now I was let free to pursue my "dream": becoming a doctor, not knowing I was trapped in the slowlane doctrine.

The first 6 months after graduating from high school I really began to think about myself and who I really am and want to be in my future.

I inherently knew two things and that is even before reading TMF or Unsripted: 1. Money is VERY important not for the paper´s sake but for freedom, 2. I saw the scripted society and it left a very bad taste in the moutth ("Is life really just about working from 9-5 and then miserably retiring??? No F*cking way!")

So I reevaluated my whole life´s plan. And becoming a medical doctor suddenly wasn´t that attractive anymore!

5+ years of medical school only to be payed 3-4 grand a month after tax and with a workload that didn´t even justify the pay?

WTF?

So, after realizing that becoming a doctor wouldn´t get me where I needed to be, I fell into a dark hole in the pursuit to reorient.

After two college studies that I dropped out of (had nothing to do with medicine), I don´t think that I will be pursuing college. I know the mathematics of wealth as of the tremendously valuable information in both TMF and Unscripted . And I don´t need college to pursue the information needed.

I´m 21 years old and I now keep my head above the water by working as a barkeeper and giving some private lessons.

Furthermore, I have studied copywriting as a specialised skill (first heared from it in TMF, thanks MJ!) and created my own website.
However, I don´t believe seriously pursuing my copywriting business will be favourable since it contradicts the commandment of time and scale. However, it´s a great and very important skill to have for my future business ventures.

So, now I found a new business that fullfills all commandments. And I´m going at it although taking action is difficult at times... (I had some mental issues in the past due to my childhood traumas and was in therapy... Not easy but it´s true... The difficult things in life are worth pursuing... .

Man I talked a lot. I just wanted to introduce myself and a little about my journey. Thank you for reading and I hope I can contribute a lot of value to you guys!

And MJ... thank you for providing us with such valuable information. Your words have opened my eyes to the realities of this world time and time again. When I came out of school, real world began... and it wasn´t the world I presumed it´s going to be. It was scripted. And I always knew that I wasn´t going to follow the masses! Love and peace.

I like that your focus is still on helping people.

I know the the corporatization of medical services here in the US has made doctoring further removed from helping people, vs profitization and assembly-lining medical care. Of course, most doctors still want to help, but
the "system" has made it harder and harder.

Thank you for the introduction and welcome to the forum.
