[HYD]

cliffs:


-German teacher has extremely wealthy knowledgeable family.
-Brother from Germany comes to my highschool wearing $40,000 Rolex
-Brother OWNS a 9 million dollar house, 4 bentlys and many other luxury cars
-Owns one of the largest banks in Germany
-Stayed after class to talk to him
-he said this. "this rolex, came from reading. My Bentlys and Mercedes came from reading. My house, came from reading, my profession came from reading. I came home from school and read. I read everything. Reading is knowledge. I want to know everything. If you want to be like this, start reading, now. And don't stop. I get payed for talking, I can do nothing but talk and I get paid. So, start reading."

[LukePie]

What does he read OP?

[Jaroctor]

Reading is of course awesome but the guy was probably paid by the school to get you lazy ****s to read. Reading is obviously beneficial for the development of your language skills, thought processing and general knowledge.

[lilcheezrat]

Naa not worth it.

[DankSnaks]

If that was true wouldn't ever miscer but a multimillionaire from reading misc all day? Still counts as reading.

Terrible advice. You can only talk so much in 24 hours.

True wealth is attained through the purchase, sale, and interest earned on assets. You make money while you sleep.

[b4myjadedeyes]

reading...stock numbers?

[vancityrider]

fck me I never read.

should stop miscing and start reading/10

[Sullivan0930]

reading books= learning something new
watching movies= learning something new
books, movies whats the difference? Ive never understood why someone who reads all day is viewed as intellectual compared to someone who watches discovery, history, etc all day. sure one might spell better but thats about it.
reading books doesnt make you a super intelligent person.

This is like the 5th wealthy person to tell me this though.

When you're that rich, you can certainly talk out of your ass. Reading may have very well helped him, but you'd be a fool to believe that's the only secret. But knowledge is wealth...

What you read is just as important.

[leoaa777]

Reading misc right now. Should be billionaire by morning. See ya peasants.

[LiLRyan]

[Jestbrah]

i guess ill stop using my text to voice on every thread in the misc and start reading






oh wait i have already been reading tons

[Nathan17]

reading wut though?

[HankScorp1o]

Would've been a lot more helpful if he told you WHAT to read. After all, I doubt he was talking about Cat In The Hat.

If that was true wouldn't ever miscer but a multimillionaire from reading misc all day? Still counts as reading.

do you ever find yourself thinking in misc terms that the power of reading... reading the misc all day is not beneficial makes you retarded.

[CaliSuperSport]

I think everyone should read and read on multiple subjects. Doesn't mean you will become wealthy but it's a major step in the right direction.

[Rambostyne]

What think misc.. Should I pick up dat der book?

Just watch movies instead. It's basically the same.

imo, books > internet.

although the internet makes information easier to find, it doesn't give you the best information available. since it's open for everyone, it's diluted with information from people who aren't experts.

books, on the other hand, have a higher barrier to entry than the internet. thus, it requires that the person be somewhat of an expert in their specific industry.

i used to never read books cuz i thought the internet was enough for me. but 10 months ago, i picked up my first book and i never looked back. the information i've learned in that time is FUKIN AMAZING. i even found books that contain the REAL KEY to success that most of the population will never come across in their lifetime.


but anyway, regardless of what you read, it's important that you always find the best information available. a wise man once said that a good education isn't only about learning from the best information, but it's also NOT learning from the wrong/bad information.




edit: also, something i forgot to add: applied knowledge > knowledge. you can read all the books in the world, but until you take that first step, you haven't moved forward. so don't get caught up in only reading. read a few books and take that first leap to getting to wherever you want.

and to people who thikn books are pointless... you probably haven't read the right books then. tehe.
