I dropped out of college. I bought a car with the money instead. And then when I saw everyone walking around campus I got jealous, returned the car, cancelled the check, and re-enrolled in college. A day later, I met my first mentor (first of about 10 — and then 100s if I include the many wonderful people I have learned from along the way). My first mentor was a professor. His courses were useless. I never used them for anything. And then I had to take remedial classes when I had a job to re-learn all the things I failed to learn in school. But I learned from this professor things that were invaluable to later success: building businesses, helping others, writing books, giving talks, making an impact. [Our life worth is not our net worth but the impact we have on others. This is what I learned from him.] But let me reel it back a little. Because I studied this man and emulated him for decades.  http://ow.ly/4qbW30itiPu …see more
