👉 Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status.👈

So, What is Wealth? Wealth is an asset that you earn while you sleep. Wealth can be a business, investing in stocks, software that serves other users/customers while you are sleeping, or even a house that you rented out.

👉 Build Specific Knowledge👈

"Specific knowledge cannot be taught, but it can be learned."
Specific knowledge is the knowledge that we learn and explore by ourselves, and cannot be taught in schools and colleges.

Things that you truly enjoy learning and exploring, things that you do effortlessly. For example, Elon musk taught rocket science by himself can be a form of specific knowledge.
Another example, You have good musical talent, you can learn any instrument very quickly

👉 Build or Buy Equity in Business👈

"If you don't own a piece of a business, you don't have a path towards financial freedom."
Without ownership/equity, In a salaried job, you are paid per hour or month, which means you are renting your time in exchange for money.

When you are sleeping, you are not earning. When you are retired, you are not earning. Fact that you are working for someone else, and they just want to get their job done. You have to work till you can own equity in a business.

People who are like really rich own a piece of business or product.

👉 Happiness is Learned👈

"Happiness is not something you inherit or even choose, but a highly personal skill that can be learned, like nutrition and fitness".

Happiness is different for everyone. For someone, it can be freedom from pain and desire. For others, it can be peace of mind. We can learn by living in present and focusing on more important things.

👉 Life is a Single-Player Game👈

"Life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player.”

Every time we are seeking validation from everyone. Everything we do in life is to get validation from our society. "I am doing this right or not?", "What people will say?". We don't know how to play and win single-player games. We only compete in multi-player games.

So, That's it. Hope you learned something new today.
