I believe in a certain point, we all have fallen in love at least once. As a young man, I fell in love with a beautiful, warm, talented, wealthy, young woman. Who doesn’t fell for that kind of woman? That’s the dream, isn’t it? I was certain that if I ever want to marry someone that would’ve been her, in fact I got to a point where I decided if it's not her, I'd rather being single for my entire life. But the truth is, that kind of girl will never to marry the kind of person I was — even there’s a gun pointed on her head.
At that time, I was a hardcore gamer. Boy I even used to dream to be a professional gamer. Whenever I played games, I felt alive. I could spend eight hours straight playing on my laptop everyday. I’d play games for the rest of my life, or would I?
One day, I got in a deep conversation with that girl.
After I had a small surgery to lift my wisdom teeth, I couldn’t get to sleep. It was eleven o’clock and I saw her online on LINE, an online chatting app, so I thought why not? A little chat wouldn’t hurt. So I said hi. As the night gets darker, both of us became more and more vulnerable.
I asked nervously “By the way, I wonder… Do you have a crush?”
“Damn, you stupid. Why did you ask her that of all question?” I snapped at myself.
“Yeah I do.” She replied.
My heart raced. I knew I couldn’t stop. This is it. The point of no return.
“Who...? Who’s the lucky guy?”
“It's *********** (my close-friend’s name)” He's wealthier, more handsome, more charming, more talented, smarter than I am.
I thought the worst feeling in the world is when your teeth got pulled out of your mouth. This one, bajillion times worse. But let me tell you, it didn’t end there.
“Whom do you like, Tim? (my family and close friends call me that)” she continues, trying to break the awkward silence.
“You.” I desperately answered to win her heart.
“Oh. You know what? I feel that too…"
The f*ck?? Is this the moment my dream came true?
"...not that I like you back. Just… I know how you felt.”
It’s still hurts me when I remember all this. But I still remember it as clear as day because that’s the day I said:
I couldn’t live like this anymore.
Since that day, I worked on myself harder than I worked on my study. I have to be smarter, wiser, wealthier, healthier, and more likeable then I was. I read, I attend seminars, I tried different kind of intern also part-time jobs, I practiced. Now here I am. It all happened five years ago, and today when I write this, I’m sure that day was the best day of my life.
The person I’ve become today is not even on my list of what’s possible. Whom I was dreaming to be was far behind who I am today. I’m wiser, I’m more skillful, I have plans, I prioritize, I read, I write, I think, I’m dating someone better (yeah, it's happening). The secret is not on what I have, but whom have I become. Jim Rohn said it better: “Being a millionaire the least important thing is what they have, but what they’ve become.”
Long story short, I bought the Millionaire Fastlane and UNSCRIPTED , surely I'm joining this movement.
I hope I can help anyone just as how MJ has helped me, guided me directly to the top 1% population of the world.
I know I'm young and still has a lot to overcome but I'm sure I can be a person of value in no time, and I hope I can be a valuable asset to your life, to this community as well.
Enough about me, I want to know more about you. Post your introduction's threat below so I can read your story. I hope we can get along well.
