Everything started with a little spark of imagination. I came up with the idea of starting this journey after reading the book Atomic Habits. With the help of this book, everything changed. It gave me a clear vision of where I should go, where I could compete, and how to fight with my strengths. By learning the basic psychology of habits and how to self-reflect, I identified several areas where I could grow quickly. (Thank you, James Clear!)

By thinking critically and analyzing how businessmen and entrepreneurs think, I began noticing which parts of myself I needed to improve. With my limited perspective on life, I decided to read Master Your Emotions & Motivation by Thibaut Meurisse. This book significantly improved my emotional intelligence, helping me understand self-control, overcome negative emotions, improve motivation, build resilience, and focus on my goals.

After reading these two books, I realized there was so much more to learn. Just like the brain it has different parts that need to be developed, so does my skill set.

Then, I picked up another book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. At first, the book didn’t seem interesting to me, but my inner motivation pushing me that there must be something important in it. While listening to the audiobook for hours as I flipped burgers at work, this book completely devastated me. It revealed how cruel the world can be—the banks, money, government, and companies, and how they operate. I was shocked to learn how they take advantage of the masses, and then I realized: I was one of them. The good thing about the book shows the reader how this predators gain their wealth and how to apply it to yourself. Now, I know exactly what I want.
