Quintin and Elizabeth are also top draw. Quintin knows the system isn't completely fair, and did his part to make it just that bit fairer...so utter respect for the Prices

I don’t understand when people say ‘the system is not fair’, it’s complete bullshit. By saying that your putting a mental barrier between yourself and your goal and blaming the system for your failures in life.
@itchyo18045 жыл бұрын
The system was fair not so long imo because it was based on merit. They tried so hard to make it "fair" that they introduced quotas and now they are discriminating against Chinese students because they are too smart, because they would be over represented. What Reggie did was to set himself apart and quintin gave him an opportunity because he was eager and showed promise through his enthusiasm, I would be bet even if Reggie was a different race the quintin wouldve done the same thing. The difficulty for minorities is that there are more of the majority, therefore it is more likely the white person will get the job in a white nation because there is a bigger pool of eligible people in that group. Just like most working adults tell you, to get a job you need to be different, academically is not enough, positive personality traits matters ALOT. Reggie showed just that and the quintin rewarded him for it. I myself am Chinese and will be teaching my kids not to see race, its superficial, people will judge you on who you are because in the end business want to make money and they want people who will help their business grow whether they are black, white, men or woman. We live in an Era where companies embrace minorities, they aren't seen as different. I am not treated any different than my white colleagues and they treat me the same.

They are just people and snobbery doesn't come from wealth, it comes from character. The snobbiest people I've met in life are poor. Inspiring guy.

@ibetroll5 жыл бұрын
Huge fortunes are almost impossible to make, like only a tiny percent of the population makes large sums of money. But If you want to make 10M -50M over your lifetime with hard work that is possible. You would need multiple sources of income, and live relatively frugally. An example would be something like this. 1. Salary, literally whatever job you do 2. Income from a business( that you preferably pay someone else to run. Like a McDonalds, gas station, bnb, even a youtube channel whatever. or in some cases combining 1 and 2 makes sense. I.E an accountant owning a firm, or a tradesman with a contracting company. 3. Stocks and commodities. Personally, I like the passive nature of index funds that basically allow you to invest and leave it Sp 500 makes 7%-10% annually over time. But an argument can be made for commodities and the tax breaks. 4. Real estate owning land or an apartment complex or just untouched land that will increase in value.

Best thing to do is get to the same level as all other applicants for your prospective career/job and then diversify your skills further and improving your interpersonal skills. Tends to work.
