because chances pass, along with good people

people don’t readily conceive the weird characteristics of large numbers. even small percentages make an incredible differences unlike anything seen in the day to day life of an average person…

exploiting these rules is how to get ahead.

it’s how to make the economy work. it’s how to pay back everyone, and give everyone a new beginning. it doesn’t matter what you owe – this will allow you to become what you always wanted to become. own a house, take a vacation, it’ll affect everyone differently but it’ll help regardless.

it’s what i’m going to do. find a way for the world to pay back itself.

doing them makes you feel alive. you learn. you understand. you adapt. you presevere. you survive. you prosper. you teach. you bring others through it. you fight. you triumph. you wait. you live. you do it again.

the latter is far more likely to not be a bullshitter, for what it’s worth.

it’s better to die trying to live, than to die trying not to die.

bury them when you can, when you should, and when a threat is no longer a threat. they’re a lot of weight to carry if they aren’t necessary.

if you only knew what motivated me

you’d be terrified

you’d be nauseous

you’d think I was crazy

you’d say it will never work

you’d say I’ve gone too far

you’d say I was foolish

you’d say I did everything wrong

you’d say there’s no hope

you’d say I should stop now (and do what? I’d never get ahead)

you’d say I messed up

you’d say my future was ruined

you’d call me delusional

you’d say there’s no hope

you’d say I’m a slave

you’d say all this and more

let me tell you my secret:

you’d be wrong.
