What schools should teach

• How to think, not what to think.
• Learn from your mistakes.
• Self-improvement is a good thing.
• How to adopt a growth mindset.
• Life is bigger than a test score.
How to think, not what to think

I taught public school for 20 years. The system tells you what to think, not how to think.
(it's easier that way)

You will not achieve much in life by accepting what schools “teach” you because schools want you smart enough to follow orders.
Self-improvement is a good thing

Putting yourself first is often viewed as a selfish act in today’s society. But, it is the opposite.

You need to invest in yourself first before you can give to others. If you do not, you will have nothing to give. Improvement is a selfless act.
How to adopt a growth mindset

The Growth Mindset is the most powerful belief system. This is the idea that you can develop and improve your own abilities.

It will give you an advantage. Your confidence will improve because you will believe in the power of change.
Learn from your mistakes

Too often in schools, you get mocked for making mistakes. This should not be the case.

Education occurs through understanding. If you can understand the reason behind your mistakes. Growth will occur.
Life is bigger than a test score.

Getting good grades is nice. But that’s it. It’s nice. It’s not the end-all and be-all. It’s one metric.

Grades do not dictate your life.
Bonus lesson:
Create more than consume

Creators continually provide value to the world.
(therefore are continually rewarded)

The rewards come not only monetarily but spiritually.

I've been teaching public school for 20 years and today is my last day of work.

All because I started a Twitter account.
I started this account when I became a millionaire. I decided I was going to live for more than just money.

Most people hit 7-figures and are content.

This is a mistake.

Financial independence is where life begins.
I started my Twitter journey a little over a year ago. I never imagined that it would lead to me leaving my job.

If you had told me that you can make 6-figures online I would have called you crazy. I didn't even know how to write a Tweet.

If I can do it, you can do it.

7 Lessons for young men:

1 You aren't owed anything
2 Money can buy happiness
3 No one cares more than you
4 Degrees do not give superpowers
5 You can’t be friends with everyone
6 Eat properly & you will lose weight
7 Earn more/spend less to be wealthy

That’s just how life goes
1 You aren't owed anything

People like to act like the world owes them something. It doesn't. You have to earn it. Take charge of your life and get what you want. There is nothing else to it.
2 Money can buy happiness

Money makes you financially secure and that leads to happiness. The biggest benefit is that you will sleep well at night. All tension will begin to melt away from life.

Stop listening to all of these hustlers that say money doesn’t = happiness. It can.

17 Things I Hate about Regular People

It is perfectly okay to be upset, repulsed, or disgusted by things that do not meet your standard.

(retweet & share if you agree)
1 They have an opinion about everything

Regular people have an opinion about everything and they always need to tell you. They seek constant validation.

HINT: Keep it to yourself

"I'm at that stage in life where even if you say 1+1=5, you're right, have fun." - Keanu Reeves
2 Everything is someone else’s fault

They blame life
They blame their parents
They blame the president

It's NEVER their fault.

They fail to realize if they actually took responsibility for their life they would have a better chance of succeeding (but that's too hard).

Why You Should Remove Your Kids From The Public School System

Written by a Public School Teacher

//Thread
When it comes to the public school system, you have 3 groups of people.

1. Hates it, would never send their kids
2. No issues, good enough for them
3. Doesn’t care, wants their kid to get a diploma

I taught for 20 years and I fall into the first category.
My issues don’t stem from the system,
rather what the system has become.

I once believed in public education.
I thought it was a good place to be.

But times have changed.
(to the point that I no longer support it)

I’m not alone in this, most teachers and staff feel the same.

4. Focus on creative outputs
5. Spend time in nature
6. Accept responsibility
7. Embrace mistakes
8. Learn how to say NO

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. Image
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. Image
