Like i always say, givin back shouldnt be seen as a sign of kindness. To me it's almost a duty. As much as ppl like to throw that word around, NO ONE is really selfmade. we're all standing on the foundation of those that came before us. Did i outwork everyone i kno? fuck yea, but

But who wrote the free articles I read? who wrote Reminiscences of a stock operator? who made the online vids I used to teach myself excel to track data? who created the FREE scanners I used? all my hardwork would mean NOTHING if those foundations werent first laid out by others

So as much as I pride myself in my work ethic, there are ppl in 3rd world countries who work harder than all of us combined yet make less than a $1 a fucking day due to the shitty environment & lack of opportunities they were be born around. so why did I succeed & not them?

is it because "i wOrKeD hArD"? or is it b/c I was just fortunate enough to be born in a time & place where OTHERS laid the groundwork so that MY hardwork could actually yield fruit. we are ALL here b/c of those before us. the LEAST we can do is give back.

Also, dont get it twisted, im by no means against ppl who charge for their services. Im a capitalist after all. u're out of ur damn mind if u think someone is gonna toil for yrs, find an edge, & just hand it ALL to u for free. That's fucking absurd. When i say give back,

im referring to the minimum (answering questions from time to time, giving hints, making the journey less painful for newbies, providing some free basic info etc). A single tip or piece of advice comes at a relatively low effort from the giver yet can change the recipient's life
