BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THIS:

1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.

2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to solve your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.

12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.

If they are not smart enough to keep it, I may not be taking advice from them like learning about money from people who have lost money.

Sorry. This is quite stupid. A person is supposed to have sense since but if you have to be told to have sense, shame on you.

You are always bitter, cantankerous, abusive, and angry. I really pity individuals who have to deal with you in real life. Is your life so miserable that you are always combative?

I pity your wife and kids who have to daily contend with your idiocy, were you abused growing up that you ended up like this?

That number one eh?

Just find a job you're overqualified for.

You could even end up earning more than your peers who settled where their position was equivalent to their qualification.

The most important thing to know at 40 Is your eternal fate and destiny. Heaven and hell is real, the choice is yours.

You're wrong. The person that lost money knows the mistakes he made that led to his condition.
He's in a better condition to advise you from his experience.
