  • I don’t know any billionaires but I knew some extremely wealthy people and they def worked for it. One only slept from 1-5am, we knew because of their email and document edit times. Also had to supply them with satellite internet while they hiked up to my Everest base camp so they could keep working. Dude was intense but literally built an empire in his industry by himself.

    People that were already multi-millionaires at birth? No idea.









  • I managed a cyber cafe many years ago. Mostly filled with regulars that I knew on a first name basis and would usually sit in for a CS match if it was slow.

    I wouldn’t call myself great but I could take down middle schoolers. That’s not what this post is about though.

    A girl walks in, has some sweats on from the big university that’s not too close but still in the area.

    She wipes all those kids out repeatedly. They start yelling, asking me to help them out so I do. I’m effectively going 50% with this person.

    Before she leaves she reveals that’s she’s visiting her parents for the weekend and that she was on a team that was ranked or otherwise played professionally.

    I asked her if I was good enough to play competitively.

    She said no, she hadn’t played at all for a few months because of school and she was going easy.

    Felt pretty proud that I was able to keep up with an out-of-shape pro.
