How Luck Can Change Your Life

18,000 of the world's top investors come from around the world to attend and listern to Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Charlie Munger at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. I try to go every year.

The interesting thing is, they should have taught us all the stuff in school.

You can come to this annual meeting and learn more than you learn in two years of school, because one of the things they forget to teach you in school is about investing money.

Which basically means you're gonna be a salary slave for the rest of your life because the true definition of investing is making your money work for you while you sleep. That's passive investing.

Active investing, or you know getting a job, is where you invest your own time, your own energy, your own money to make more money, but the problem is you and I run out of energy, and we run out of time.

So one of the things the top investors talk about is setting a small amount of money aside and putting it into something that makes money for you while you sleep. Use other people’s energy and other people’s time. Don't be a salary slave your whole life.

If you only have income from your own occupation then you’ve guaranteed to limit yourself to how much time and energy you can put into your occupation. The most that’s possible is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and that’s if you don’t take a single second off…ever.

That’s why the world has become enslaved financially. You got 1.2 trillion in college debt, just in the United States, that’s not counting credit card debt, not counting long-term debt like mortgages and things like that. Some debt is okay to have, but not when you’re a slave to it.

One of the things you’re gonna have to do is self-educate. Trust me, by the time the school system figures out how to do it right, it will be too late for you and I, in terms of what we learn in school. So you got to replicate the school system, but in a way that’s advantageous to yourself.

In general one of the things that changes your life the most, and there’s a good book on this by one of the top business writer’s Jim Collins, are luck events of who you meet. I went to the Omaha Nebraska Berkshire Hathaway Investor meeting because being around other investors increases the chance of a luck event happening. I deal in-person, but when you can’t do it in-person, it can be through a book or through a video that teaches you how to become an investor.

Life not just all about facts though. It’s not like you just invest in real estate or invest in the stock market and automatically you make money. No, it’s more sophisticated than that. Doesn’t mean it’s hard, it can be easy if you know what to look for. You have to pick up vibes from people, their habits, their intuition, that’s how you become a great investor.


Stay strong,

Hi, I often tell people that genius is not so much talent as it is attitude… You see, your attitude is the environment you decide to carry with you during the day. It proclaims to the world what you think of yourself and indicates the sort of person you have made up your mind to be. A genius attitude is deciding that you can do well at anything you make up your mind to do. When you do that, you give the project all you’ve got, and in doing so, attract the favorable attention of others. Attitude is one of the most commonly used and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. However, if you understand what attitude really is, you’ll know how to bring the best of you to the surface every day... To your success, Bob Proctor Chairman & Co-Founder Proctor Gallagher Institute

I couldn't believe that time has been running so fast, we already two daughters. We haven't enjoyed much together for a while, you seem to grow old too haha peace, and me too. I counted in just eight years of knowing each other we've been through a lot now and blessed by God with two makukulits. Still, I feel that I need to know more about you. I'm not that good in life and our circumstances taught me how to struggle how to live. I've learned that people will not care about you when you have nothing. That's why I pray to God to grant us more than what we have and yet it's not that easy. It's been eight years now I'm trying yo keep up. We've been struggling yet you still have the knowledge to be calm. At this rate I might not know what to do cause I'm not used to this often, I once encountered and don't want to come back again this kind of state. Good thing you're there to make me feel I don't have to worry, but I do feel you do...

How can you be way happier, less depressed, have less anxiety and fear?  Let's talk about this book,  "The Happiness Advantage" . It's pretty interesting. "The Happiness Advantage" is  an international best seller and talks about the seven principles of positive psychology that fuel success and performance at work.  What are the seven? The happiness advantage number one, the fulcrum and the lever number two, the tetris effect number three, falling up number four, the zorro cycle number five. Number six, the 20 second rule, and number seven, social investment.  It's a good book. Just finished doing my book of the day, and I thought I'd share it with you. I'll just give you a few little points, not going to go through the whole book. Find something to look forward to. So, I'm going to give you three tips that I thought were interesting in this book.
