I have a history of stopping rich people in the middle of the road so this is not the first time. I have stopped lamborghinis, ferraris and high end benz and bmws. Most drivers dont mind and actually laugh when they hear the reason why they just got stopped.
So as I was driving to the gym, I saw this guy driving a brand new 2014 Masarati beside me. I immediately stopped my car infront of him. First he got scared and his face turned red. I approached his car and requested him to share what he has done to be so successful. I have stopped high end cars just so I can gain some knowledge and wisdom as to what they have done in life. So when I asked him about his life, he started laughing. He gave me 3 tips and I think he was spot on.
1) Be emotionally stable; dont care what people say. Do your own thing
2) Work smart. We live in North America not Africa or a developing nation. We need to work smart to move ahead
3) Socialize. No matter how educated you are, if you stay home all day long, you'll never find a job you desire. You need to get out and socialize and have a friendly and liked personality.
I thanked him for giving me his wisdom and than I let him go.
