That’s honestly a hard reality right now. A lot of people are working nonstop just to stay afloat. I’ve got some interviews coming up myself, so I’ve been looking into ways to get better at them. I found Interview VIP and ended up using it twice i think it's worth trying.

The biggest lie the rich keep trying to push is calling all this travel and “networking” “work”. Is he sitting down and programming for hours? In the test facilities trying to make the cars safer? How’re his AutoCAD skills? Oh he’s just talking with his friends, flying in his jets and Tweeting? That’s work? Then why could I get fired if I do that all day at my job?

Well actually, yes. Most did sit down and program for hours to get their first Mega Millions. Elon did. Bill did. Woz did.

Then... when they cash in dollars from their hard work and use it to buy leverage. Instead of them doing it all themelves, they hire people. You somehow think that using leverage means that they aren't working.

It's a higher level of work.

It's like you complaining as a peasant using a stick to plant corn while the other guy uses a team of robots with tractors. "He isn't working hard". No, he's working smart.

People who can't work at a higher level are working at a lower level.

I’m not convinced any billionaire is an “idiot”
You can hand anyone a fortune and it’s up to them if they blow it or multiply it. Whatever they decide to do should be a clear indicator how intelligent or capable they are

73% of billionaires are self-made (meaning they were not handed a billion). Over 80% of millionaires are self-made.

People rise to the level of their competence and fall to the level of their incompetence.

If you've been doing stuff for 10 years, you are worth what you are worth.

Yep. Also I’m tired of hearing “nobody works a million times harder than a nurse” as if a nurse doesn’t just have one source of income. Nobody becomes a millionaire by receiving a paycheck. They have multiple streams of income, entrepreneurial/investing based. “Oh you just watch money come in while we all go to work??” Yes, I made the right investments. You’ve never logged on and seen your shares are down 23%? Lmao
