The most important things you have learned

[CosmicMind]

Here are a few of the most important things I have ever learned:

1. Everything is an argument!
Whether its Jim Cramer telling you to invest in a stock or a so called expert telling you its not gonna work or an author telling you the job market and the stock market and mindless frugality is gonna make you rich. No matter how much credibility some one has(yes you consider their argument) but you always have to make up your own mind in the end!

2. Material things do not matter as much as my FREEDOM. Which is #1!
Who is richer the guy with the lambo and the mansion but has a 12 hour a day job he hates and an endless supply of bills or the guy with no material items at all but never has to work another day in his life and has a full 16 hour day? Avoid debt and save your money while pursuing the Fastlane especially if you are young. If you have to finance a material item then you cannot afford it!

3. Be happy now!
Way too many people are just sitting around saying "if i get a lambo ill be happy!" or "if i get a girlfriend ill be happy". I have learned that if you are not happy now then you are pretty much never gonna be happy. Once you are happy everything else will follow: Fastlane success, relationship success etc.

4. The purpose of entrepreneurship is to serve the market's needs!
Start having a passion for making money, helping your fellow man, or for entrepreneurship in general. NOT do what you love or know, which has to be one of the worst advice in history!
