If you think knowledge is power, you’re wrong. Knowledge is a commodity. It’s like a gym membership, useless if you don’t put in the work.
So why give it away? Because the real value isn’t in what you know, it’s in how far you’ll go to apply it.
I am not selling a course, I do not take your information and sell it. I do not need the money.
I was always taught that the road to success was paved with straight A’s and being the top of the class. That being the best academically would open the door to the most prestigious universities, which in turn would guarantee you a degree that carried weight, reputation, and access to exclusive networks. With that, a high-paying job was almost inevitable.
After all, the Asian logic was simple: high-level education equals high-level opportunity.
A top-tier degree might open opportunities, but it's the ability to execute, deliver, and adapt that separates the best from the rest. If you’ve already made it into a target university for your finance degree, congratulations. You are ahead of most at a non-semi target University.
But do not make the mistake of thinking you are the best, Ego is both your ally and your biggest enemy. It drives you to push harder, aim higher, and take risks but it can also blind you to the harsh realities of the world you’re entering. If you are naive, people step over you like cockroaches. Confidence is key, but arrogance will get you nowhere. The moment you think you've made it is the moment you start losing.

At 19, and having started adapting to the world of Finance in just the end of 2024. I’ve already managed to pull in a high-end five-figure return from investing in 7 months. To some, this means success. To me, this isn't enough. It drives me to learn and earn more.
Sure, luck played a part, and anyone who tells you luck doesn’t matter is lying. But what separates those who get lucky from those who make it a habit is initiative. I didn’t wait for a mentor or a textbook to hand me the answers, I didn't buy a course from so called "Alpha Males" online, I didn't NEED anyone, just the fear of falling short.
That's why I went out, did the research, took risks, and made decisions that others were too afraid to make.
In finance, it’s just figures. People are figures, the markets are figures, they’re all are easily manipulated. The numbers might tell you one story, but the emotion behind those numbers tells you everything. Fear, greed, ambition, pride - those are the real drivers.
You can make a deal look more attractive than it is, structure a deal to maximize value under pressure, or sway sentiment just enough to get the results you want. But at the end of the day, behind every figure, every chart, is a person, and many people don’t make decisions based on pure logic. They make them based on emotion.
And that’s the game. In finance, it’s also about knowing people and the ability to read the room, anticipate the crowd’s next move, and stay calm when others are losing their heads.
Keep pushing, keep learning, and never let anyone tell you that you’ve made it, because the moment you think you have, the market will remind you that you haven’t.
