Why Earning Money Matters More Than Being Given It

If you chop your own wood, it warms you twice.

Somebody asked me for two million dollars.

I get asked for money every single day, and somebody asked me for money, and I

said, "If you chop your own wood, it warms you twice." Because they didn't

understand that the money in and of itself is worth nothing.

If I give an idiot two million dollars, he is still an idiot.

But if the idiot learns how to make two million dollars,

then he becomes a whole different person. Money is an amplifier.

Money will not change who you are. If you're a simp and you get rich,

you'll be a

bigger simp. If you're a dork and you get rich, you'll be a bigger dork.

If you're a G and you get rich, you're top G.

Money is only ever going to amplify you. You have to keep this in mind.

So when I said to him, "If you chop your own wood,

it warms you twice," I was

explaining to him that it's not the money that's gonna make

him happy.

It's the lessons he learns along the way.
