Everything changed for me when I understood this philosophy. Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. That's the simple philosophy that changed my life forever.
Starting age 25, if you work hard on your job, you can make a living, which is fine. If you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune, which is super fine. I didn't mind working hard on my job, but things didn't seem to change that much. Then I started working hard on myself to qualify.
So let me put it in a philosophical phrase now. This is worth the price of whatever it costs for you to be here today. Here it is: Success is something you attract. Success is not something you pursue. It's something you attract by becoming attractive.
And the whole scope of this, we call now personal development. You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are. If you can multiply your value by three, by five, you can easily multiply your income by three, by five, by 10. But the key to doing it is to work hard on yourself.
Now, that's why I mentioned this personal development part. It is learning multiple skills. If it would serve you, multiple languages. Okay, working hard on yourself. You know, people are fun to work with. The the key, sometimes it's not fun to work with, is yourself. How come I'm reluctant when I should be excited? Right? You just go through this dilemma.
The work we do is fairly easy. Mr. Cha, my first mentor, taught me. You know, the world is mostly full of real nice people. In fact, he said, there's only about 11 or 12 real nasty, miserable, horrible people in the whole world. Now, he said, they move around a lot. So you're bound to find one once in a while. But if you found one, you say, "Hey, there's only 11 more like you. I can handle that." I mean, there's not a thousand.
But here's the big challenge: working hard on yourself. Personality and temperament and mindset. Talked about culture. All the stuff necessary to individually be responsible, be a growing, attractive, powerful, skillful, communicating human being. And the world belongs to you.
