Why School Won’t Make You Rich – and What Will
Don’t be dependent on the education system. It won’t help you reach your goals, and it certainly won’t make you a millionaire. In school, we’re often criticized or even punished by teachers for making mistakes. But in real life, making mistakes is how you learn— it’s how you figure out what works and what doesn’t.
Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he succeeded with the light bulb. When asked about those failures, he famously said, “I didn’t fail 10,000 times—I found 10,000 ways that didn’t work.” And still, people call this an “overnight success.” But there is no such thing as overnight success. You have to work for days, nights, months, and years—maybe without earning a single dollar— before the boom happens.
And then, there will be a time → boom! You’ll get your first success, your first profit, your first million-dollar deal. ✨ Suddenly, everyone will say, “He made it overnight.” But you didn’t—you worked for it. You earned every bit of the money and fame. That one boom came after years of unseen effort. Keep doing it. Keep learning. That’s the “it” thing.
Someone else will come and replace you if you stop learning. 👾 Artificial Intelligence is useful and extremely helpful in your job, making many tasks easier to do. But while people fear change and call everything a scam, many still blindly chase “safe” government jobs.
There’s a quote by Peter Thiel in his book Zero to One that says, “Once you’re 10x better, you escape competition.” That’s 100% true. You want to be better than everyone at your school, college, or business? Then do the work that takes others 5 years to finish—in just 6 months. 👑
Then boom! Nobody’s above you. They’re all left behind, down the hill. That’s how you do it. But it will take consistency, hunger, focus, and a lot of hard work.
So yeah—keep going, keep growing. Do better than yesterday. Your future self will thank you for not giving up.
