On Me

And the Value of Hard Work
A personal reflection on giving up easy money, embracing hard work, and pursuing growth beyond relaxation.

This is a short piece of my own personal growth in the last few years.

Okay there’s gonna be a longer one but just a tiny nugget of Wisdom.

From my personal life.

I worked at Apple and made so much money so young + my stock market wizardry,

that it felt like the money was free.

It wasn’t. But it sure felt that way. I deserved it. But it didn’t feel that way.

I wanted to become a better person though. Hard working. Capable.

So I said to hell with it. And I threw away 400k.

You might think I’m crazy but it worked.

I’m happier now than ever.

I heard a man say: “I want this business to work out so i can relax.”

I used to be like that. Chasing relaxing.

Brother. There’s always work to do.

Instead of chasing relaxing. Chase Dreams.

Become stronger. Become better. And always be ready to be of use.

After I become a millionaire, there will undoubtedly be other things to do.

Bigger things.

Than simply making money. Which is easy.

Many fools have made money.

Few have gained Self Master or actually changed the World.
