  • If you want to get rich, stop joking around

    This is an article adapted from If you want to get rich, stop being a fucking joker.

    99% of people you interact with in life are jokers. You’re used to joker behavior.

    We’re all middle class. That sucks. We should be wealthy. But to be wealthy, we need to NOT BE JOKERS.

    What’s a joker? A joker is someone who says they’re going to do something, and then doesn’t. A joker always has excuses. “Oh well, I tried…” -> No, I don’t care that you tried. Did you do it or not?

    DID YOU DO WHAT YOU SAID YOU’D DO OR NOT?

    If not, you’re a joker.

    “We will find a way. Or make one.” – Hannibal Barca, 247 BC – 182 BC

    That’s my favorite quote. Hannibal is one of my greatest heroes.

    He almost conquered Rome. He could have, actually, if he’d been willing to have all his men die to do so, but he loved his men too much so he didn’t do it. Think about that! The man almost conquered Rome!

    There’s so many stories of him doing the impossible. Breaking out of ambushes, setting crazy fires, marching elephants through the Alps to invade the Italian Peninsula… dude, he took ELEPHANTS from Africa and MARCHED THEM THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS INTO ROME.

    The Romans thought Hannibal had the FORCES OF HELL ON HIS SIDE. Why? Because of that quote: “We will find a way. Or make one.”

    Look. When something doesn’t get done, there’s always a good reason. Yeah, you’ve got your job. Or you’ve got to go some class. Or the server crashed. Or whatever!

    I don’t care. No one does. You need to get your part done. FIND A WAY. OR MAKE ONE.
