I got another question that said I graduated from the whole college system and I'm not able to find
a quote unquote career.
I just hope with the help of this course I can figure out what I really want to do.
And my personal thoughts on this.
And again it doesn't necessarily mean that it's right but my personal thoughts are that the college
system in getting a quote unquote career sets us up for mediocrity.
And by the way I'm not saying that college is bad.
I went to college and I did get a lot of things out of it but I just think that you can choose to play
a bigger game and that's what my goal is for myself and that's what I try to share as well on this course.
It's something that really shaped me in coming up with this course and even wanting to read the way
that I do.
Was a quote I heard by Oscar Wilde that said everything popular is wrong.
And within a short period of time than I was you know really studying or going through some videos by
Earl Nightingale who said to look at what the majority is doing and do the opposite and you'll never
go wrong for as long as you live.
Or Mark Twain who said whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it is time to pause and
reflect.
Now I'm not saying that everything popular really is wrong but what I came to realize is that a lot
of times conventional wisdom isn't the right thing to do specially if you want to strive for something
above mediocrity.
And that's really the goal for this course is just an example of that to be able to read a certain way
or the goal for my last course was jihadi go about the college and study using techniques by some of
the world's most really productive people instead of just following conventional wisdom and that's really
what I try to follow with my life as well whether it's eating or working out or business or reading.
So that's why I really believe in this.
And by the way once you get through this course here are two books that I think can help you if you
can relate with this question they really help me out.
One was the book thinking grow rich which really just emphasizes the idea of having a definite purpose
and you know the author Napoleon Hill has a lot of other great books as well that that I've read and
I recommend and another book that I recommend if you can relate to this and even if you don't just the
book that I really recommend is a book called The go giver.
Because this book helped me see why I did not focus so much on what I should get and what I can do to
make a career and instead focus more on how I can deliver value to others and understanding that that
really is the key to having a successful career in the first place.
And the last thing that I would say if you're trying to find your career or just at a college that that
really influenced me was I was listening to a talk by ebon pagan and he pointed out the difference between
creating something and discovering something.
He said that once you decide what you want to do and start creating you'll probably discover something
along the way that would lead to your real success.
And I was in college when I heard that.
And the reason it really stuck with me is that I realized it's not as important for me to figure out
exactly what I want to be doing.
But instead just get started with something I really believe in knowing that along the way as long as
I'm moving forward on the path I will discover something that will really be my success and that I just
need to be flexible enough to realize when I do discover something along the path of me creating something.
