The Least Likely To Succeed

[DMNTD:Me]

My life was half over before I discovered it was a do-it-yourself project.

Too bloody funny yet true. Life experience counts for most...

Guess it doen't take much to be a millionare these days - sell the house you bought for $25,000 25 yrs ago and,hey presto,there you go.That's what one the the younger brothers in this family did,bought a property that was rezoned residential 6 mths later,snap...on the road to success.He also went back to school,got a degree in civil engineering and now developes his own subdivisions.

It's not about being Maori,it's not about education,I had exactly the same education and opportunaties,but I guess their homelife was different to mine,that is the biggest thing that affects how we turn out.Get rid of the baggage you carry and make something out of your life.Maybe I didn't carry enough baggage to make a difference.

Agree with that, homelife and exposure during your formative years does have a huge impact. I always thought that I was unusual in my formative experiences, but as life goes on and you are able to speak freely about what you have gone through with others I find that I am unique - just like everyone else.

I like the old saying - If you keep doing what you've always done, then you will keep getting what you have always got.

...So I found out today that he went back to school after many years on tuna boats,got an engineering degree and became a ships engineer - now he is a millionare and semi retired in Dawin,just playing the money markets to keep occupied.Two of his younger brothers are also millionares,both property developers...the older brother?...um,yes,he is also a millionare,he's some sort of plantation owner in Australia....

How the hell do you make a million bucks by being a ship engineer??

By buying a boat,then more,and opperating a successful fishing company...then selling it.

Yeah had the same happen to my brother, you know left school at the age of 15, did drugs, got busted by cops, trashed cars etc but now he has vented that crap out of his system he has really sorted himself out and he has lots of real life experience to show for it.

All some people need is to get it out of their system.
