I'm 14 y/o as you could see in the title. An indian guy, rn in 9th grade. I've read the millionaire fastlane and halfway through the 4 hour work week by tim. In addition to that, I've consumed a lot of business content on yt and articles. Watched all the buisness vidoes of Hamza(he's an youtuber, some of you might know him) as well as his self improvement videos. So, I'm not here merely to attain wisdom and be a leeche. I've some wisdom to provide too. I'm yet to pursue a fastlane business. I haven't had decided it yet. I'm pretty confused. I need to journal and read a chapter of the millionaire fastlane thoroughly again which I'm gonna do after this. So I was about to ask if you guys have some advice for me regarding dropping out. I've been pretty anxious about this for the last week. I'm havin a hard time deciding whether I should drop out and what to do next. So I'd be hella grateful if I get some help fellas. Please help your new homie. And thanks a lot Mj for the millionaire fastlane. I can't express my gratitude for you.
Edit- ugh, so, after reading, reacting, getting offended and disappointment by majority of the comment, I've not realized that I should've given more information regarding me and the situation and my thoughts/plan.
It's my fault that I've mentioned some of the crucial stuff like my routine, why I think education sucks at 9th grade taught in school.
But don't y'all think I'm in 9th grade and I don't have the basic knowledge it requires. It's a no brainer. I certainly do have. Do I need to rationalize the denominator or show under rooted "8" on the frickin number line? Will I ever need it. No way will I.
80% of the stuffs are worthless. For business, I NEED to learn SI,CI,Graphs,profit and loss,equations,data analyzing. And i know all this stuff already from STD-6.
Grammar- there are little to no grammatical mistakes in my comments and even if there's a fair amount of them, then so what? Not to mention the reason why there are some grammatical mistakes mainly preposition cuz my vocabulary ain't that great.So why keep going?Just to learn grammar? What about the other worthless subjects? Not to mention I can easily improve my grammar/vocabulary being here typing this comment, reading selfimprovement books, reading blogs, watching podcasts. You name it.
Science- do i need to know that solids have little to no intermolecular space between them and the most intermolecular force amongst every other state of matter? Huh?
Do I need to know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of cell?
Do I need to know that the atomic number of sodium is 11?
Literature- Hell nah. No of this at all
Hindi- bruhhhhhh. Why does it even exists in the first place?
Sanskrit- F*ck you education minister of india
Education is just a business. School is for employees mainly. You only need the basics and then you're good to go, right? If yes, then why I'm here askin advice? Cuz I'm not sure if it's really true. Let's go a bit deep and find out.
Geography- Himalayas. Why the F*ck do I have to know about it? It's standing minding his own business all the while protecting India. Did he want us to study about it? Hell no.lol
History- someone in the comment mentioned that history is crucial as you can learn stoicism. So i wanna state you my friend that there isn't a single chapter about stoicism. And none of the people in my school know about it and no person that I know is a stoic. Not at all. I already practice stoicism, do I still need it? Do I need to know that to become a judge of a supreme court in India, I need to be a advocate first for at least a decade.????
Economics- there isn't a economic teacher in my school yet. It's been two weeks since my new sessions of school is started. See how irresponsible my school is. Tomorrow me and my friends are gonna complain about this shit two the fatty a$$ principle sitting in ac while we students are getting evaporated.
Now what?
Yeahhhhhhh socializing tududududu.
I've got good social skills(not great still need to learn a lot more). This is literally my goal in life to be hella charismatic and have great relationships. I've good relationships as well as pretty charismatic
I've got a lotta friends.( a girlfriend as well, i know it's not good ti have one at this age but leave it)
English is my second language so it's a bit difficult to articulate myself here.
My leaderships skills and charisma-
I've influenced all of my friends to be on nofap/sr. My little brother 11 years old, is now on full time self improvement just beacuse I've influenced him to be. I'm good at story telling. I can motivate people.
Now you'd say I've tried to influence a guy in the comment to meditate but the refused and now is spektic about.
So i wanna say I haven't even tried half of my best to influence him or her. That was off topic. I just wanted to kind inform him.
Aight so now the question arises how am i gonna better my social skills if I drop out.
I've already decided it. Every other day, I'd go meet my friends and her for half an hour. Done?
And read books on leadership and how to win friends and influence people hy Dale Carnegie and actually apply the knowledge.
Job done.
Now what are the pros and cons of dropping out. A comment has gone through this but it wasn't deep enough(deeeeeep lol).
Here's mah schedule first. The old schedule is changed now cuz so is the school timing.
Workout- 1hour 15 mins - 1 hour 30 mins
Meditation-30 mins( i should be doing 1 hour but gotta sacrifice either grades or effectiveness of my business)
Sleep-8hrs30mins(need to sleep an hour more, i should he sleepin 8 to 9 hours and not to mention that it takes time to actually sleep. I just don't sleep the moment I hit the bed. It takes 20 minutes approximately and what about the fact that I wake up accidentally several times while sleeping?
Study-2hrs self study
Tution- 1hr-1hr 30 mins
Joking around with homies and her-30 mins
School-5 hours
Now how much leisure do I have?
19hrs 30 mins
5hours?
No
45 mintues- taking shit, shower, getting ready, eating(before school)
30 mintues- getting to school and then home
15-minutes- getting to coaching and then home
How much now?
21 hrs so 3 hours of free time.
Is 3 hours a day adequate for a business to grow? And let's say adding free times of weekends and sundays it's now 27 hours a week.(cutted- tuition,school and reaching time on sunday. Moreover, half working days of school on Saturdays that is 3 hours of studying hence 2 more hours on Saturdays).
Is it still adequate enough?
And not to mention the fact that after all this wouldn't I be mentally drained. And consequently resulting in low productivity? What about burnout? It doesn't exist?
Don't me wrong. I'm willing to put in the long hours no matter what. But why do that if I can simply drop the hell outta high school. So why not just drop out. I don't know all the pros and cons at least not majority of them .
This is why I'm asking to you guys.
Is school worth it?
And answer this without having the Any-benefit mindset. Most of the comments I've read have this.
Don't get me wrong. While being grateful, this mindset will help. But not in making crucial decisions.
I don't have a business right now. I've made a YouTube video script(niche-self improvement) but haven't uploaded as I've had decided to continue uploading/workin on the business after completing the book called 4 hour work week which I'm halfway through. I can do affiliate marketing, selling course and merch on YouTube. Hamza does that as well and earns 30k a month with 15k profit. He declared with conviction that by the end of the year, he'd be makin 100k dollars a month.
