Just as a car drifts.
Just as you watch formula drift
My 80/20 analysis says, my most negative emotion generating people are "baby boomers".
We all have educated family members with distinguished doctorates, who think growing and
reaching your full potential is an overnight process. They are those people who are the most
unhappy, unhappy for what? technically, they are unexcited. Their lives are boring. No Excitement.
The only thing they are "happy" of are their degrees. I want to grow-up, and not just pass
tests and get good grades.
The Home Depot guy wrote a book titled "I love capitalism". It's a story of young people grinding
their way into capitalism. Capitalism is how we are able to eat meatballs in perfect shapes.
If we can process foods, cut them and give them shape, like meatballs, then we can also shape
our lives and lifestyles, Lifestyle Design book 4-Hour Workweek is an awesome resource for
people who want to be investors, people who believe that money is just an idea and that ideas
should be spread. It's for those people who have great innovative minds but are limited by their
lack of knowledge about how the rich game the system. The rich don't settle. They invest their
time into places like Blogger, rather than arguing about which degree from which university
they should take on... They might have degrees, but they are very rare, like Elon Musk. Only 1%
of people from business schools and heavy doctorates actually become Entrepreneurs. Elon Musk
has a degree in Physics, probably because of how things turned out in his life. Maybe it was
his safe bet. But he still doesn't give a fuck to degrees, like me. Most entrepreneurs, inclusive
of Baby boomers, are not highly educated individuals. To get a degree or not is irrelevant, and if
you ask me, it's rather trivial to me. This system is run by middle class people who are mostly
lower class before they actually buy expensive cars. Middle class people, like some of my PhD
doctorate relatives or people I know, are always debating trivial things and picking on your
sub-conscious things, like how you move your hands or how you walk, or the worst one,
"your skin is getting black, probably because of the weather which is very sunny these days".
Fuck it. Who gives a rat's ass to weather?!
There are two things in the world: 1) Important few and 2) Trivial Mass.
Most PhD people and their lives are about en-massing Trivial Mass (TM). Things that will do
little good to them. I pay attention to the Important Few Stuff (IFS). Whether they become
fashion designers, models or otherwise, they all want to en-mass Trivial Mass TM in life. That is
why we hear stories of broke and flawed actors in the market, who with their careers, lose their
family and because they take risks without protecting against downsides, everything naysayers
said about them becomes true. As they say, most people are example of what NOT to be, rather than
what to be.
If you drive a car, you know that your car and its mileage is the product of how many miles
you actually have to drive through in order to reach your destination. Everything is the
product of destinations it travels. If a car hasn't traveled much destinations in its lifetime,
much like my 2 years old bicycle, it becomes old and rusty. You and, yea you, are
the product of your own success. So how many actual miles are you going to travel?
Do you care about weather? would you back-off just because weather is not right? or would
you rather become a general(ist) and try to build a car that's combination of off-roading
and luxury at the same time. As Tai Lopez said, You are the product of your own success.
You can either be a Fat man in BMW (FMB) or you can drive around Alaska and be free your whole
life. May people wrongly assume my chances of leaving Pakistan are very rare. They wrongly
assume that because I am a student and Two, I don't speak much about how I feel about things.
Now, this day, as I write this, someone said I would never be able to make it to any foreign
country, and yet, I would say to you this day, this tracking of progress against this statement
starts. I will make it to a FOREIGN country, not just any one country, could be many, and I would
do so without higher education and I would achieve this massive undertaking using the
experience and lessons taught to me by my mentors, and most of that stuff is documented here,
in this blog. So interestingly, the battle starts between the Expected Aaliyan and
Actual Aaliyan, who is now immensely and highly influenced and associated with rich people.
And when I say rich people, I mean more than money. It IS my challenge to read enough books
and meet enough mentors so that I can at least have mental models that would allow me to
at least say later on, "yes, I did it". This day, I will not rebel education. I would study hard.
But I am sure my efforts and blessings brought about by my blog will far outdo anything
my professional learning will ever provide. It's good to have Big Ideas from Big Disciplines,
but that's education. That's why I use the word professional learning. Mr. T, I annonimize
your name. I bet this day that I would really go to FOREIGN country without a higher education.
Then I'll do whatever my mother wants of me. An engineering degree? done, but not without
achieving this goal first. I never wanted to be an engineer. But I've got just one mom and
she would never mind a 9 months break between two phases of my life, when I would be
done with High School and then, mom wouldn't mind waiting 9 months if rewards
far outdo downsides, which means in that case, I would strike it out and actually
be FOREIGN for the first, but not the last, time of my life, before I actually
take on professional education. Life is big, and no one dream company could ever mind
if I graduated university just 9 months ahead of everyone. No problem, I will be young still
and I will have more diverse experience as a result of that break.
