It's about ((nepotism)) if you want to go beyond the millionaire level. Not about the bullshit in your video
it isn't about being mindless but not giving up.
thank you
When I was young, I was poor. But after decades of hard work, I'm no longer young.
Ha ha ha ha, you a damn fool 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I love it
So did you become millionaire?
@@Dhruv41I think the joke went over your head.
hahaha, awesome!!
If you work hard you're an idiot facts
As someone who interned at a large corporation, the most successful interns spent more time creating connections than creating value. Human Resources doesn’t care about you until their boss tells them to.
100% truth
Having worked in a large corporation for 9 years, I can confirm that this is absolutely true. I observed a direct correlation between climbing the corporate ladder and investing time in social connections outside of work. When my schedule became busier, preventing me from participating in their after-work social events, I noticed a shift in how I was perceived. Despite this, I decided to venture out on my own, and today I am running my own small business. It might be modest in size, but it's entirely mine.
@@betimz Hope that works out well and your business grows!
Watch Andy Frisella. Real AF. Trusts me.
Yep, it's not about REAL value, it's about PERCIEVED value. When people like you, they think you are more valuable than when they don't, even if you are literally providing the same exact product.
1.mindless in a right way
2.put our ego aside
3.consistency.
Thank you Jake, this is real. I've worked with Billionaires twice so far in my life. They're not that smart and it hurts lol
It's true saving this
I've never worked with billionires but my boss is a millionaire. He's not dumb but in comparison to his employees, he does not possess the qualifications that they have..... My 2 senior coworkers were EXCELLENT (academically). One has 2 degrees (Bachelor's) & 1 Master's Degree. The other also has 2 degrees (Bachelor's). Their work experience & qualifications are impressive.
I noticed this long time ago. Most business owners I know are not that smart, but most of them know nothing else but work though. Does anyone really want to be Elon Musk? Like really? I know I don't. Compared to rich people I am living a peachy life.
Dunning and Kruger effect
😂😂😂 hurts so much
As a business owner I agree! I wasn’t the best student at school and I admit that, but when it comes to business I just don’t procrastinate and think a lot, you just have to take action and be quick that’s all.
Being a "buisness owner" takes no effort. On par with claiming to be one.
@@Look_What_You_Did takes no effort? Hahahahahaha
@@pierre-yveschauvet5136 this is why a lot of rich people are overrated. All most of them are good at is repetitive behavior. The only way to grow a company is to consistently do the same thing over and over.
@@pierre-yveschauvet5136 to make money you have to act. People who think a lot tend to be more stunted when it comes to being assertive and taking action. That puts them at a disadvantage. The second thing entrepreneurs are usually good at is repeated action, the maintain the business often just as it is. And while continuously doing the same thing over the business tends to grow.Intelligent people usually get bored of doing the same thing over and over.
Comment back here when you are have 5 million dollars. Being a business owner is tough, a successful business owner is tougher. But Millionaires are gonna do unethical things to be millionaires.
Because people who perform well in school are very prone to complying to the system, and if you know anything about getting rich; that's the worst type of person to be.
Also people who don't do well school are forced to looked elsewhere for success , thus putting them on the road to being a millionaire thru business, scaling your income in business is much simpler than scaling thru education .

College is also good for making connections
@@hunterslaptop2002 Being a B average student is where its at
Exactly. High achievers don´t understand that following rules and doing everything perfectly doesn´t solve the problem. Anybody can follow the rules and do everything perfectly, but everybody can´t devise a creative solution to a problem. At the end of the day, the people at the very top are all people who did something nobody else thought of.
@@tikari3987facts
They are not academically smart. But they are smart in real life. They spend more time learning about real life.
And we spend time in school and university. Synthetic, authoritarian, unrealistic, synthetic environments with forced socialization, that produce weak, useless stupid people in 12-20 years. Goes doubly so for STEM.
My dad is a buisnessman, did not study anything, went to the usa to work in construction, saved money for 4 years, returned, built the factory he had alwats planned on and went off, he is not educated, but overly obsessive and a leader, and I would say he is intelligent, just not in an academic way, I dont think he has read a book in his life
"Mindless in the right way "
As in dont think about all the drudge an negativity towards failure or succeeding.
You simply focus on what success would feel like to you and chase that, one step at a time.
And/Or.
Don't think about the moral implications of your action.
@@darkfx3208 Spot on!
In other words, visualize and manifest success and stay consistent on your grind 💯
I know what success would feel like, it's millions in Switz bank accounts
Fuck your excuses
Morality is another huge thing that can hold you back from making a lot of money. You almost never get rich unless you're willing to get dirty. How dirty you get can decide how much you make, just look at politicians 😂
Yeah, and also fun. Money is not the the end goal of life, a lot of smart people know that and don't blindly chase that objective. If they can do something useful, fun, and pays enough to get by well, that is more than enough. I think that is the part he conveniently leaves out, the reason we see a lot of dumb people become rich is simply because a lot of smart people just don't care because they see money as a means to an end and not the end goal itself.
btw true. selling drugs is easy, but i didnt even think of it until one of my friends told me that its how he would get rich in europe
stay poor
For u to really get rich from nothing. 90% of the times u just get dirty, then invest
@@Trainrhys I'm sure he had insiders that knew that both of those would be very profitable.
You just proved that they're not dumb at all. Turning off your ego and self pride and taking consistent action takes incredible intelligence. You kept bringing up GPA. That has nothing to do with being intelligent. As a matter of fact a high GPA likely means you're just good at following orders and not paving your own path.
I agree. It looks like he has fragile ego of not wanting to admit people's other success way, those who succeed outside education and when these millionaires surpass the income of those high GPA achievers, they call them dumb because they can't possess same intelligent like those high GPA.
Precisely! You are absolutely correct. We don't really talk or clarify what general human intelligence is. It's certainly not GPA or high school grades. Ironically those who believe it is have to be simpletons themselves. Nevertheless many do equate intelligence with such things.
Exactly, it also has to do with being creative
There are different types of intelligence. Typical smart high IQ, emotional intelligence and wisdom.
there are dumb people all around us and they aren't rich and poorer than us. so, i agree
I think a big part of it is luck, right place right time, decent work ethic, and then networking with the right crowd.
Nah you gotta buy his program to be successful. That’s the only way and be a complete f’ing idiot who doesn’t even have a GED because nobody even uses basic math or grammar for anything.
Money aint luck its Faith.
well,i disagree with the luck thing.
luck may work once or twice but not every time.its the faith actually.its the faith with which Prophet Abraham (A.S) survived fire,It's the faith which opened the Sea for Moses (A.S).i hope you get the point.
@@shane626i’m not suppose to stay at my moms house forever lol
Poor people believe in luck. The harder you work the luckier you get. The more rooms you’re in the more doors you can enter. And when you see a opportunity you take it.
It’s confidence and networking. Smart people are sometimes too introverted to have either.
I think we need to restructure our society and culture. We can't have an entire country just only wanting to be rich. There need to be something else that can motivate us so that we can properly contribute to society. I can see the whole world getting destroyed all because no one cares about the quality of their work, only the money.
I hated school with a passion. I only liked history and math classes. I barely passed high school and didn't finish college. I am definitely in the average student range. What I did have was drive, and I pushed that into a 15+ tech career, then transitioned into starting my own family office, where I am a general partner. I also have published papers focused on the healthcare industry. I am a living example of this video!

It's because book smarts doesn't equal street smarts. Common sense and people skills get you a lot farther than a degree ever will.
Still I would wager a lot of those very wealthy people have no smarts

Heres the truth. Most people with success have some kind of relationship with some guy who opened a door. Say you want to start a cleaning business. One relationship gives you the first contract which already makes your business a success. Now guess what, this guy will also refer you to his friends, other business owners. From here, you have to be stupid to not be a millionaire. This applies to any business.
Word of mouth, connections & marketing
The truth is the rich get richer. Breaking out of the cycle of poverty is quite rare.
I think dumb people just makes riskier decisions that's why they are rewarded with higher return but just looking at the top 1% as the representative of dumb people does not tell the whole story, I am sure most dumbs are at the bottom. Average are at the middle while intellectuals are either at the middle or slightly above. Big respect to risk takers who made it to the top.
Intellectuals usually focus their intellect on all the wrong things. In order to be successful, you must know where to look and what to ignore.
@@user-nn8jn6ym4p they are not intellectuals if they focus on the wrong things then🤨
This comment remind me of Druckenmiller
@@Lainux31 wdym? Who is Drunken Miller?

I did fairly well in school and painfully agree with the video. Several of my “C” friends are making more money than I do because they tried a lot of things after college that I honestly felt was beneath me. It sucks but humbling in a way.
But then again a lot more of them tried many things (eg. MLM’s) and still make less than me.
So if you were smart... you would see the data that is so clearly laid out. There is no correlation.
@@Look_What_You_Did never said I was smart. Smartass..
@@Look_What_You_DidIts all to do with the definition of smart at the end of the day. I feel "smart" in the videos context is school smart, book smart, which doesnt exactly translate over to real world application of knowledge to skills etc.
Your last sentence is the exactly the message of the video as to why you aren’t rich. (Hint: your ego)
@@petertrang87 you completely ignored my 1st paragraph stating just that. I guess you’re in an MLM and took it personally. My bad just stating my personal experiences.
Merry Christmas I guess.
Masa son is a genius indeed. He skipped highschool in usa because it was too easy for him. Got in Berkeley.
Used to write 10 start-up ideas everday. Then became a millionaire by softbank in japan. Now it's the world's biggest venture capital firm.
I grew up in a boiler room, my uncle did the EXACT thing & I’ll tell you; the guys on the floor were SUPER average to below average intelligence wise. The ones that succeed had a ‘stick to it’ attitude like you wouldn’t believe
I think it is called growth mindset... not mindlessness.
There is also survivor bias at play here. Were focusing on the "dumb" rich which is a small percentage, but overlook the "dumb" homeless people that are a much bigger percentage. Those "dumb" rich might have been just as easily been a "dumb" homeless person. They just stumbled on the "right path" to succes, were most would end up on the path to ruin.
I usually rephrase this with "if someone can there for I can"
Dumb for school doesnt mean dumb for everything
The dumb rich is an exception not the norm, 84% of the billionaires are college graduates, now thats a huge number to ignore.
@@pierre-yveschauvet5136 there is nothing more common than talent. College prepares you for your work ahead, ivy league schools prep you to get ahead in the real world than some high school diploma. Dont talk about the exception being the norm. This entire premise is misleading.

Spot on! Anyone associated with Jordan Abel fort on that level I’m weary about… I find it interesting how they work together in all these videos as well. Seems like Jake is getting paid to advertise him and boost his channel. Clever.
Dumb people are also more happy and content in their lives.
Ignorance is bliss isnt just a saying, this is truth of living a happy life.
Smart and well-informed are very different things
@@westgantonIt is hard to be smart if you grew up in a polygamist compound. For example you don't know what the "Renaissance" is. If you haven't been taught, you don't seem smart, you seem brainwashed.
@@carissafisher7514 Would you consider Nikola Tesla dumb for not knowing about the renaissance? I know I wouldn’t
Maybe it just has to do with your morals. If they have less of it they are more likely to get ahead easily.
99 percent of rich people were in the right place at the right time and just got lucky...
I totally agree. Luck plays a big part in success. Sure you can work yourself to the ground but that won't guarantee riches.
That's why cheating in school can actually of greater value then studying hard. You need to cooperate to cheat. You need to assess who can help you cheat with what.
Maybe you can help someone cheat with something and then ask them for a favor later.
Another key trap people get into is thinking that making money is the only thing that matters. I'm a firefighter/medic and I'm not in the top 10%. But I'm happy. This vidwo makes it seem like a well respected job and decent paycheck is for "sheep".
what matters at the end of the day is peace of mind and your/ your family's happiness. if your job and provide you with that then its really not that bad.
Idk man.. Id rather be rich than find happiness in a flaming building
I know, right. The arrogance of the author of this video and Arvid is astounding. The hook of this video is that "rich people are dumb, here's how to emulate that so to replicate their success". I do not want to live in a world where people idolise people who are successful because of their stupidity. Why the hell would anyone aspire to be stupid is beyond me. It is well a well observed fact that wealth does not equate to life satisfaction, so certain fools are wasting their only life by aspiring to stupidity and unhappiness.
@@kookokooko-xg5uo Your simile is dogshit, what are you even trying to suggest?
Well I think it’s not so much that the world wants you to think that it’s all about making money but maybe it’s an indicator that maybe those around you like your immediate family and friends were stressing about money and stressed it onto you. Also not everyone’s happiness is financial, or family etc some people enjoy different lifestyles and that’s fine no right or wrong answer really. Just happy for you and your family 👍 sounds like you have a balanced life
Becoming millionaire is not a matter of being educated, smart, or high IQ but mostly about charisma, charm and manipulation to trick and earn people's trust, effort(convincing others to work for you) and poker instincts to bluff.
To be fair you have to be reasonably intelligent to fake charisma and manipulate _well enough_

Smart people overthink things and never pull the trigger as much as the dumb ppl. So they probably don’t use risk well. No risk, no reward.
Be very careful of anyone that tells you that education is not needed or worth it.
The problem here is the mindset that we currently have, and that is "if education can't make me money then it's useless". I don't know you but because of how common this is, I'm going to assume you have the same belief
After I was done with school, I looked back and was very surprised that I was not taught how the world actually works especially I was not taught how money works. The amazing thing in today's society is we have the world of information at our fingertips so we can educate ourselves in anything and everything we want. One thing I would like to point out, money does not create happiness. It generally creates comfort, but if you don't learn to be happy from within yourself, you will end up like most of the wealthy people and society just miserable with money. ❤ I wish everyone success on their journey through life.❤
Rich dad poor dad is telling that.
Honestly, I think the smart people are doing a rational thing. Taking a safe job that has a high probability of upper-middle class income is a good enough life. No need to take risks to be rich.
Money doesn't solve all problems but it does solve money problems
yes. the miseducation system is garbage and any smart person should get out of that trap as quick as possible
I don't think it's about being dumb specifically. I think it's more about personality and risk tolerance. Starting your own business is far riskier than having a safe salaried job that pays you every month for pressing the same buttons every day. Someone who is risk-averse, regardless of their intelligence, will most likely not even try that.
And also, someone who doesn't get discouraged easily, someone hard working who is very determined to get their ideas to fruition, someone who can network with others, someone with charisma, someone who can persuade people to buy their products or services and/or invest in their idea... that's the person that will succeed in starting a business. An introvert whose hands start sweating the moment they even think of talking to someone, is way more likely to go for a safe job where they don't have to worry about any of that.
I totally agree! 👌
I missed almost the entire year of 7th grade skipping school, went to detention over it, and later dropped out in 9th grade. My GPA was probably zero because I didn't like school.
Later I started a business, so I could enjoy Surfing. It was the only way for me to move forward in life after how bad I messed up in school. I knew I would not make it in the workforce, and I'm not encouraing you to drop out. I'm just saying that it takes more than education to make it. It requires will power, and a force of nature.
As a non american the bashing of higher education is very intriguing. Society needs scientists engineers and doctors to function. Most people around the world would be very happy to earn a low 6 figures 100 to 150K It seems as if everyone wants to be a multimillionaire or nothing.
Problem is, smart people care and usually get caught up in some cause or other rather than serve themselves.
💯
The whole premise of this video is based on a false equivalency fallacy; that intelligence and GPA are somehow interchangeable.

School doesn’t mean smart
Ikr
What i really want to see is that America adapts and can function WITHOUT this absurd factor that currently everyone has to be rich in order to Live.. We need living options for average, poor people. We can't have this current situation where everything is set at these insane prices even for the most BASIC living situation... This needs to change. There's nothing wrong with people wanting to get rich but we can't keep running our society with this across the board unaffordable dysfunctional system and just accept it as "This is how things has to be"
100 percent
It used to be that way, it seems. Sad to see what it has gotten to.
the only reason things are this way is because a very small minority of people have most of the purchasing power
if the top 1% of the population are having more wealth than the bottom 90% which is how things unfortunately, the 90% are not gonna be having good times
I'm not saying rich people should not exist, in fact they should, it is what drives innovation but financial difference between people should be nowhere near this extreme
I don't see things changing anytime soon if ever, all we can do is suck it up and try improving our individual positions in this unfair hierarchy
No one is actually poor. I you're not where you would like to be financially. it's due to the information you have obtained up until this point in your life. If you focus on high prices or problems, you are waisting precious time that could be used for focusing strictly on how to create more money.
It really is crazy. The prices don't make sense anymore.
Here's the deal. Smart people have always had to struggle less. So when things do get tough, it's uncomfortable and foreign so they quit early.
People who've always struggled in life, but want to succeed, knows that it is ahead of them and are ready for it.
Here's my thought, if you are a smart guy who watches this video, then u can be a mindless non-dumb person to get into the top 1%.
The underlying factor is not the level of intelligence, but self-awareness. There are more "dumb" people living off the streets, sucking on meth, robbing and others. Meanwhile, there are also more "smart" people living a rich life, because they are well-aware on playing the right game at the right time.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my RUclips channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,868 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
Interesting viewpoint. I have noticed when wealthy public figures are interviewed, some are not particularly articulate, even struggle to string a coherent sentence together. Yet they have the financial acumen to build fortunes. They are immune to failure and don't ponder over it just rinse and repeat until something works. Hard work manipulation and a thick skin seem to be the attributes required.
It’s called the silver spoon bundle from birth, perks coming with no real trouble with cops, loans always approved no questions asked, bonuses every now and then with no reason for the bonus.
It is simple, they realize they are not smart enough to make a living so they go full hustle without any morale dilemmas.
Or maybe it means that you have morals and they don’t!
It's not a sin to be rich. In fact, God blessed Solomon with great wealth and wisdom because he was impressed by his request for only wisdom to lead his people. What makes it a sin is what you do with your money.
Yep. As opposed to 'ethics' of course.
Bingo

@@user-bm6xz6pq5zIt is not a sin to be rich, but most rich people commit numerous sins to gain riches. Following the right path often means giving up riches in the process.
I think a lot of dumb people are so successful because they don't overthink risks, they take them and through dumb luck they make it. meanwhile I analyze everything to death and i'm making less than 25K a year.
The problem is “smart people” is that they don’t take risks as much as “dumb people” do. Smart people are too cautious and yes they live under their educational achievements while the dumb ones know they have to succeed since education was never their strongest point.
Take calculated risks. Stay consistent. Learn from your mistakes so you can make the correct decisions to move forward. School stops us in our tracks with an "F".... it's not over, try again. I see people beat themselves up everyday over little stuff. They get frustrated because the chip/stripe on their credit card doesn't work accurately and they start breathing heavy.....who cares??? I'm not even going to remember what I ate 2 weeks from that day I seen you have a problem let long u lol. Take it easy.
dude .. i really wish i had your problems.
i never had the impression that school rewards smart people. it rewards people who only follow orders and don't think for themselves too much.
What learned here is basically never give and stay humble, never worry about what others think. And if you're ambitious enough you'll make it
“So, you’re telling me there’s a chance?”
Going to college has nothing to do with smart or dumb. The smart person believes they are smart while the dumb people just find a way to get smart people to work for u
Most Billionaires: Lie about how they got rich
Jake:"So here's how to actually be rich"
"Why Dumb People Make More Money Than You?" Easy. They have a rich family that gives them positions via nepotism. It happens. Oh well. Just because they had cheatcodes doesn't mean you can't be great.
There are still people who weren’t raised rich that end up millionaires. And there is both wrong with being a nepo baby. If anyone becomes a parent their goal should be to have nepo babies.
Honesty and good education level are not good reasons to make you rich, actually they are good reasons to have an average or even less than average income. This is the reason why stupid people makes money , but NOT any type of stupid people .
Those as you said: "Stuck at making 6 figures" are running and upgrading this world,and those milioneres are disgustingly held up high and looked upon with....Well... that's very twisted and just wrong...or is it just me...
this video needed to come out
The A students usually end up in staff positions. The B students are the managers. And the C students own the company.
I have worked with hundreds of millionaires and few billionaires, most are way smarter than most normies. The difference is honesty. The ability to analyze and accept data without personal bias. Clowns, normies and intellects will all find success if they are honest and can analyse the experience they endure. Hundreds an thousands of attempts mean everything or nothing depending if one can learn from every interaction.
Lol
That's heavily optimistic, brother. Reality shows otherwise; that dishonesty pays in a system of cutthroat competition (capitalism). It brings out and rewards the worst of our traits and our ilk.
I meant honesty with ones self and an honest perspective of the available data. This planet wide system is corrupt through and through, that is an honest observation.
Nothing about intelligent people doubting themselves, getting caught up in perfectionism and tending to have imposter's syndrome - rather than just moving through like a bull in a china shop?
I worked with two millionaires, they are both super basic but what they have is an incredible work ethic. No more than 5 hours of sleep, and a grind like no other. Definitely some opportunists. One went from selling on Ebay to making millions and investing into 100 million dollar deals in Florida.
There are multiple types of intelligence & intellectual intelligence is just one of them. Unfortunately being book smart is the least monetizable.
Jeremy Clarkson from Top gear always shows his flunked certificate every year,he got a U,thats even worse than an F

This is one of the best videos that Jake has ever made. Simple idea. Communicated well
Like someone in the comments elaborated too, being at the right place at the right time and some luck throughout life is helpful.
Now I know why I had Cs in high school! I knew they were grooming us for GM. Civics/econ revealed the hustle. Entrepreneurship was born!
Honestly dumb/smart it's all about how lucky you get. A lot of smart people end up on the wrong side of risk while dumb people end up on the right side and vice versa. If you're willing to play the game remember life is just a huge game of dominoes where you don't control the next falling piece that leads to ...???? Try your best, cross your fingers, and hope for the best.
Persistence and not caring about going broke. Less concern about failure.
Less intelligent people get a one track mind in a particular endeavor and dont get distracted. They are also more likely to be vain and value their worth in monetary terms
Yo I honestly don’t know a lot of lawyers or doctors who say that what they learned in school almost never applied to their real world job there’s way to much generalization in this video. And also god forbid you people get stuck at six figures I mean what kinda life is that..
I’m gonna catch you there, dyslexic people tend to be extremely visual and smart in a weird way
You have a decent point about committing to the process and pursuing a goal. But I know a bunch of dumb hard workers that this never worked for.
Yea, I Don't buy this either. Too Many strawman arguments
The only person stopping your own success is you. Hard work generates success. Hating or blaming others will not make you wealthy.
Great video. Real life teaches you to work hard and take calculated risks . Thats all there is to it!
wow thats an eye opener! thanks for tis video!
"eventually I'll make more than 6 figures" ... I think ppl who haven't actually earned a promotion or two, or practice as mds/jds have no clue what we actually earn. Wife and I earn over $600k as "cogs in a wheel" in our early 30s, that number has been steadily climbing.
My father warned me about getting an MBA. As soon as you graduate, you get pulled into working for someone else with a good salary, but probably not going where you want to go...
Bottom line, ego gets in the way for many people from making money, they are too picky with jobs and business types.
I find it very disturbing that my doctor didn't learn how to be a doctor in med school.
As a master civil engineer, i have learned only to read building plan, nothing else, on job i learned everything i needed in 5months,it had nothing to do with those calculations and shit, i couldve learned what im doing now in middle school, its that easy
Yup. I have a bachelors in international relations. I work in software and learned everything on the job.
Not only academically. There are many emotionally intelligent who doesn’t wanna go this route and feel dismotivated . It’s very simple person who think this way always win individually but at the same time this person sets society collapse . And we can see it on bigger scale in many different parts of modern society. We can’t resolve any problem ( no matter which direction check ) . Modern people method of survival sets us for falling apart in the end . Because npd it’s a disorder even if sometimes individually usual
It's very fitting that 2nd gens are explaining this, because 2nd gens are the most vulnerable to this reality
Totally disagree. There is a lot of positive aspects I learned from college and I was in special ed until 7th grade. I’ve always struggled with attention and school, but I’m so glad I pushed through grad school. It took me 10 years but I credit my ability to think critically and view things from different angles. I appreciate understanding how to breakdown an argument and finding credible sources etc… but I get what he’s saying. Life does teach you a lot of other types of lessons that you don’t get in school.
exceptions dont break the rule
You just admitted it - you just stuck with it. Your perseverance not intelligence is what got you there in the end
@@lizxu322 glad you know exactly what got me there. It wasn’t just one thing; education also helped me in many ways. Again, it’s not the only path but it’s also not a bad one if you take the lessons and skills from it.
When Asian Americans speak English it’s as if there is a comma in between every word.
Lol. I just notice what you said about Jake.
Mark Cuban is "worth" 6 billion. What is Alexander Fleming "worth" to this society? Clearly he hasn't provided as much value as Mark Cuban.
Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, Page, Brin, Bloomberg, etc. were good students … it’s not about being A or C student. Becoming rich is about entrepreneurial mindset, exposure to success, discipline, etc. Anybody can become successful. Some A students stop learning after school and don’t necessarily aim at billionaire status. So it just depends.
Their GPA is low because they spent time on building their business or they realized the school is dumb lol
I think Billionaires and millionaires might not be the smartest person in the room but they are definitely not dumb people. They are just not good at studying in school but that doesn’t mean that they are dumb.
To me, it's obvious. Doing well in school simply means you know how to obey the masters well.
Serve people, try different things, overcome ego &pride.
Create processes that you can automate/ scale with other people.
Decondition from school thinking/ rules.
Embrace rejection - anyone can do the work.
Embrace failure - not impressing people.
Graduated with a masters by 22. Im 36 and now earn 6figures.
Met on new years a guy full of tattoos and not very smart but truthful. He makes $22k/month. 🤦🏽♂️
I think the way school is being bullied nowadays is not a good sign. What have been said is just the interviewer's opinion according to his own experience. We cannot generalise the idea of bashing school, through it i met many people that enlightned my thinking and went through many experiences that helped shape my personality.
that's just because School was the one way you directly or indirectly Chose to socialize By.
and Don't tell me it's the only way, even if it was; that's just ONE aspect of many, and THE only one that isn't Full On Garbage.
Bro, there is people everywhere, you can socialise wherever you go. But the quality of people you find at school is on another level, you meet people with critical thinking that helps you see the word otherwise. Socialising just for fun is something easy that you can do anywhere.
School is bullying.
Thank you so much!!
This is a very useful life lesson. Thank you for the video 🙏
Long story short: They take risks quicker, while smart people are analysing things more and take less risk that way.
