Finding Fulfillment Beyond Money
You're chasing money. You will never have it, and even
if you get
it, it will never make you happy
If I had asked you what you want to be when you're older,
what would you have said?
It's embarrassing.
What did you wanna be?
A billionaire.

individual. You should figure out what your superpower
