Twitter is by far my favorite social network. If you follow the right people, Twitter can be the single best source of knowledge, hands down.
For the past weeks, Nate’s tweets have been showing at the top of my timeline, and for a good reason: I hit the like button pretty much everytime I read something from him, whether is his daily email (the only daily email I don’t hate) or his tweets.
And of course, I made a selection of the most powerful, actionable pieces from his timeline. Make a favor to yourself and follow the guy.
Your position in life isn't fixed.
No matter what your mom, or your teacher, or society tells you.
There is always a way out.
Self-education, mentors, and ruthless drive will take you far in life.
You either want it or you don't.

44% of college graduates work jobs that DON'T require a college degree.
So basically you're telling me it's a 50/50 shot whether or not spending THOUSANDS of dollars to get a degree will actually get me a job?
A coin flip.
That's what college is now.
A fucking coin flip.

Best people to sell to
=
Women and rich guys
Women are always shopping regardless (numbers game).
Rich guys have the money to spend and are easy to sell to bc of insecurities.
Worst person to sell to?
Average Joe (no disposable income).

You can be dumb as fuck but if you actually have results to show people will be attracted to you like flies on shit.
You can also be smart as fuck but if you have nothing to show for it no one cares.
Dumb with results > smart for no reason

How to fix high suicide rates in 1 tweet:
Make people STRUGGLE.
People are depressed because we've created a society where you don't have to STRUGGLE or EARN anything to survive.
Humans evolved specifically TO survive.
Now we've taken that away.
Struggle = good thing

There's nothing wrong with working a 9-5. If you enjoy it, do ya thang homie.
But if you work a 9-5, hate it, and desperately want to find a way out, yet you're not taking ruthless action to do so, then yes, there's something wrong with that.
And I will shame you until you do.
