on a high level. I had to learn this lesson the hard way with law school. I have zero passion for being a lawyer Injust thought I would get a job making 180k a year and stack money. But if you chase money in something you arent interestd in you wont be able to keep up with passionate people who the shyt isnt work for.

There are ppl who put in 100 hour weeks because the shyt is fun to them, even if you give full effort you wont have the energy to keep up. You can be mediocre in whatever craft but if you want to be great and make real money passion is required.

Young nikkas dont waste your life getting degrees in shyt you don't give a fukk about or going down career paths just for money. Find your passion and master the necessary skills it and you will get paid for it.
Or you'll end up like me full of regrets

nikka just say you got a shyt work ethic and be done with it. You don’t do well in the professions because you’re passionate, you do well because you’re disciplined. And clearly you ain’t it.

How you flop the opportunity you had is beyond me.

You're mostly right, but "success" means different things to many people. I can honestly say that I'm not passionate about my career field, but my character just won't allow me to put in subpar work, so while I'm not rich, my salary is probably what most people would be happy with. People may believe I'm passionate, but I'm really not. Now there are some fields where hard work simply will not be enough to compete with people who are naturally talented and passionate, but for the most part, I believe we can all work hard towards some amount of success. I say this because many people may never find a career that they are truly passionate about (besides football I still haven't), but they can all put in work to learn more about the job and career they do have access to.

Like I said I do agree, Life's a gamble; one could "waste" a lot of time with degrees or trying a bunch of different career paths in search of the perfect fit, or one could "settle" into something they can do at high level and excel if they work hard.

I work in finance. I get paid more than most people who cut their own checks.

And what you and most nikkas don’t understand is that majority people don’t jump right into becoming successful entrepreneurs. Most put in years of professional work to build the skills that will enable their business to be sustainable.

I always been passionate about money. If the shyt made a good amount of money...legally..I am in/was in or trying to get in. But I made sure to always manage my risk.

Only thing that has slowed me down over the years is my kids. Thats when I started to do a costs benefits analysis. Is this what I am going to do take more time away from me spending time with my kids. If so is the money worth it (in terms of taking time away from my kids).

This really is it man. Its all about how you view life. I say its more to do with if you are focused and being discipled. If you are a person who is focused and some what disciplined you will be successful in life most likely.

it's not a memorization exam. You have to study for a minimum of 6 months for hours everyday to get the type of score I got.


And that's why you are a law school drop yapping about last scores from 5 10 years ago.

So a bum basically
