8. The real education begins after college

It’s sad how many people think they’re “done with studying” the moment they leave school.

In reality, everything you’ve learned in class is largely worthless in the real world.

Successful people read as much as one book a week sometimes. They listen to podcasts. They go to conferences. They read research papers. They talk to other people who are doing big things.

That’s how they’re able to “connect the dots” between seemingly unrelated subjects, and use that insight to land more opportunities.

That’s how they see the world through a different lens than everyone else.

real estate is super aggressive where we live, and this guy leaves a free notepad hanging from our front door about every two weeks.

we use these constantly.

“where’s the grocery list?”
“it’s on a kamran downstairs.”

we’ll never actually use this guy’s real estate services as we have a realtor we adore. and to add insult to that injury, we always use kamran’s face to test our pens.

“Saying that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different to saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. It’s a deeply anti-social principle, because rights are not just individual, they’re collective.”
