They told me that this was a way to make a bunch of money fast and easily.
No need to work hard, make yourself better or smarter, and no need to add any value to the marketplace.
I passed on the “deal” and later learned that all my friends had lost the money they invested.
Nothing valuable comes fast. You always need one or more of three things in anything you wish to be successful:
Hard work
Innovation/Being better than the competition
Provide value
Be honest and sincere. Work hard. Become better. Get smarter. Establish trust. Sacrifice yourself to help others. Be patient. Those are the keys.
