What can I learn in one minute that will be useful for the rest of my life?


1.       A strong belief in yourself is where everything should begin.
2.       Nothing is more powerful than the power to read and write. Do yourself a favor—invest in yourself.
3.       Come out of the comfort zone and stay ahead of others or stay in the comfort zone and perish.

4.       Your parents educated you only up to where they wanted you to be. Educate yourself up to where you want to be.
5.       Trusting no one is the best self-defense in the world.
6.       Never leave anything to chance. Some things bite only once, and that once could be your last.
7.       Consider it a fallacy when people tell you not to take life seriously, for life itself doesn’t forgive anyone.
8.       Mistakes can be forgiven, but repeat mistakes indicate a lack of responsibility.
9.       Many opportunities will come your way but never pass up even the smallest opportunity.
10.   Forgiveness is the greatest therapy for the heart.
11.   Having sex with the wrong person is like committing murder on your soul.
12.   Before you begin anything first go to the end. Don’t start anything if you can’t see the end. Then come back to the beginning and start afresh.
13.   The greatest battle for your life is not against your enemies. The greatest battle is in your mind.
14.   The best propeller for your success is your enemy.
15.   Do not fear critics. They’re the best auditors for your perfection.
16.   There’s no gain in accumulating a ton of knowledge you don’t intend to use, for knowledge that will never be applied is the same as illiteracy.
17.   Before you jump into a grinding 9 to 5 job, consider the many years of profit you’re about to throw away to someone else to enrich themselves. Then think of a way you can use the same knowledge to make a ton of money to enrich yourself.
18.   Don’t become a sucker to everyone. Remember, people will always want to use you, screw you, underpay you and dump you when they think you’re no longer useful.
19.   Be sober and vigilant, because we live in a man-eat-man society. Even your best friend will betray you to save his/her own ass.
20.   Don’t strive to be rich. Strive to be free.
21.   Remember, there are more business opportunities than there are jobs.
22.   Do not break anyone’s heart lest you pay with your soul.
23.   Never forget your parents when they’re old and helpless no matter what, for they were there for you when you were helpless.
24.   Life is designed so that you’ll meet different people at every stage of your life. Some will help you, some will need your help, and some will use you.
25.   Seek happiness but above all, seek love. For without love you’re walking dead.
26.   Do not chase money, for money is an illusion. Instead, chase the things money can’t buy.
27.   Fulfill the selfish desires of man (or woman), and man (or woman) will give you everything you desire.
28.   Keep yourself fit through regular physical exercise and meditation so that you can maintain a strong body and mental stamina even when you’re old.
29.   Invest in financial education and master the subject of money. Start investing as soon as you start earning money. Invest instead of saving. Saving is a terminology invented by banks to steal your money.
30.   Learn a new thing every day. Rome took many years to build.
31.   Equip yourself with life and survival skills. Learn to communicate effectively. It is the best gateway out of a bad situation.
32.   Don’t wait for someone to come and push you. Push yourself before they get there.
33.   The only way to grow is by pushing yourself harder each day.

Why do millennial have more student loan debt than any other generation?

The lost generation: Today’s children get prizes and awards merely for participating — this sends a DANGEROUS message to kids: “We’re all winners.” This mindset is repeated continuously at the end of each project, event, or season. As a result, kids grow up expecting awards and praise just for showing up — (by the way, this sounds like socialism.) This mindset leaves kids terribly unprepared for the harsh realities of capitalism. Capitalism is ruthless. It rewards only winners, not just anyone that shows up to ‘work.’ Today, these kids are being offered an irresistible deal: “Go to college, and don’t worry; you can pay the massive college tuition with credit, and whenever you find a job with your ‘valuable’ degree, you can pay it back later.” “I MUST participate!” So, here they go to “participate,” at a mediocre college, to study a mediocre (and outdated) degree, to finally, AGAIN, get a “participation reward,” called a degree... Now, here comes real life: There’...

What happens to the founders after big tech acquisitions?

Whats App  was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum — both former employees of Yahoo! In September 2007, they took about a year off for traveling around South America. After buying an iPhone, they saw opportunity in the growing App Store. In February 2009, they incorporated Whats App Inc. in California. After many bugs and failures, the app suddenly started to gain momentum. With growth, however, the costs quickly started to add up, so they occasionally switched the app from "free" to $0.99 so they wouldn't grow too fast. A few years later, in February 2013, Whats App's user base had grown to about 200 million active users and 50 employees. Sequoia would invest $50 million, valuing Whats App at $1.5 billion. In February 2014, just a few months after Sequoia’s round, Facebook, Inc. announced it was acquiring  Whats App  for US$19 billion  — its largest acquisition to date.
