People care too much about degrees, titles, certifications. None of that matters.
Life itself is the real IQ test.
Do not be fooled by degrees.
I have a Master's in education. I can tell you firsthand that many academics are complete rubes. At the same time, I've met laborers that were brilliant.
People confuse education with intelligence.
I've been offered to teach at University.
Turned it down. I wanted to get out into the real world. College feels like an MLM. They treat students like they are piggybanks. It's repulsive.
Now I teach people how to make money online
(it pays better)
Making money online is so much more fun...
Here's how to do it: 1. Get Create 24/7 2. Start an account 3. Set up your profile 4. Learn the strategies 5. Build an audience 6. Sell to your audience
1. Be a lifelong learner 2. Embrace optimism 3. Have high standards 4. Focus on creative outputs 5. Spend time in nature 6. Accept responsibility 7. Embrace mistakes 8. Learn how to say NO 9. Stop caring what others think 10. Teach others what you know
1 Be a lifelong learner
Lifelong learners recognize the importance of personal development (and embrace the journey).
They are never satisfied. They always seek to improve. They never settle for just "knowing".
This is what keeps you youthful.
This is what sets you apart.
2 Embrace optimism
See the glass as half full instead of half empty.
Your mindset is a CHOICE
The most successful people I know are also the most optimistic. This is not a coincidence.
As a public school teacher, I have one word of advice to all of the parents: Homeschool your children.
A lot of people are asking why?
There is little joy left in public school teaching anymore. Everyone is looked at like they are a number. No joy in classrooms does NOT = Lifelong learners.
To the naysayers, why do you think school is normal?
Children spend around 8 hrs/M-F surrounded by people their own age and a handful of adults learning about mitochondria.
School isn’t about learning. It’s about passing.
If anything, it makes them less intelligent.
High-value individuals have aspirations. They will work toward goals without letting anyone else get in the way.
When you have self-worth you will work harder to give yourself the life you deserve. It is expected.
Value yourself and feel worthy.
2. Always invest in yourself
The benefits of self-improvement last a lifetime. You will continually reap the rewards. When you begin to go down this path it will impact your rate-of-return in every avenue of life.
