  1. Did you know that almost one in every ten people in the United States is a millionaire? The population of the United States of America is currently 332 million. That's 24.5 million millionaires living in the country today. It's 24,500,000 millionaires! My first thought was, "Are 25 million people truly smarter than me, or am I just dumber than them?"
  2. Interesting conclusion, though the possibilities that come with the internet nowadays are endless. Especially with entertainment, you could definitely act like a fool and make a good buck that way (like an "Island Boys or Cash me outside how about that" xD), but I wouldn't suggest taking that route. It is worth noting that billionaires are not required to pay taxes on stocks due to the fact that they are not considered as liquidated gains.
  3. Fun Fact #2: There are 47 million millionaires globally.
  4. This forum thread is like a rollercoaster ride, but instead of a fun thrill, it was a descent into chaos.
  5. People nowadays are often too preoccupied with abstract concepts. In my own experience, I started following Leo's content when I was 18 and became obsessed with abstract ideas such as enlightenment. However, looking back, I realize that at that age, it's crucial to gain as much experience as possible and try out different things. While spirituality is an essential aspect of life, it should be devoted to after a person matures and wants to elevate his life to a higher level. (PS; watch Burning Through Karma - How To Exhaust Material Desires) I currently reside in a third-world country where people are much more social, and despite the poverty, misery, corruption, and crime, hardly anyone is depressed. It would be beneficial for those who feel depressed to travel and explore other cultures, experiencing different ways of life. Sometimes, taking a step out of your own perspective can help put things into perspective and provide a new outlook on life. Instead of getting lost in your thoughts, try getting some "real" experience and seeing the world from a different angle.
  6. Hi everyone, I’ve been watching Leo’s videos for 6-7 years and I’m amazed by how well he speaks. His videos are 2 hours long (without editing) and he doesn’t seem to struggle with his thoughts. I find it hard to express myself the way I want to. When I write emails, I use tools like Grammarly, ChatGPT, or QuillBot to help me reword my sentences. But when I talk to someone, I lose track of what I want to say. How do you learn to speak so clearly? PS: I'm reading a lots of books, but it didn't help me much.
  7. You all have interesting points of view on this, and to be honest, I was expecting some shallow replies. I thought about it and concluded that I am a "kinesthetic type of person," which means that I perceive reality through feelings (that's why all great athletes are kinesthetic). I also don't have any blockages or a lack of vocabulary. What I do struggle with is that it is hard for me to describe how I feel or what my thoughts are on something (even though I am aware of how I feel and what I want to say). When you ask a mother why she loves her son, there are some "limitations" to articulating it in words. But then, you watch Leo's video on "what is wisdom or integrity", and he goes so deep into this topic, and explains something very complex in such a simple way that a 7-year-old kid would understand. PS: when I get high or drunk, my speaking skills are at their finest (10/10). I guess that I just need to feel good all the time to unlock this hidden ability (like Hunter S Thompson).
  8. Here's a good quote: "Fear is a mile wide, and an inch deep. We perceive it as a massive ocean. Then we step into it, we realize it's just a puddle." Hey, why not try doing an intense workout every day? Instead of just focusing on getting ripped, try to focus on the effort itself. You know, going through pain willingly every single day is how you build more self-esteem and toughen up your character.
