The Counterintuitive Secret to Reaching Huge Goals
Use the proper perspective
Is it just me, or does everyone seem so damn serious these days? It’s like with each passing day, humor, lightheartedness, and carefree attitudes fade just a little bit more.

- Get a good education
- Find a steady job
- Rise the ladder, collect your toys, and earn prestige over the Joneses
