I just had the goal of becoming an academic and an innovator throughout my almost eight years at university. We were trained to be idealistic by our lecturers, among other things. Now that the romanticism is over, we must adopt a more practical perspective.

I can claim that all of my university friends betrayed me, despite the many favors I have done for them; unfortunately, none of them ever returned the favor. Almost every single person I've encountered has betrayed me. I speak with my lone remaining university acquaintance on the phone from time to time.

After a given amount of time, people will forget you if you don't stay in touch. Everyone will eventually forget everyone else, nonetheless. I've seen that it takes around six months for someone to forget you; however, there could be other elements at play.

Although most of the individuals I met at bars had excellent intentions, they lacked any long-term relationships. Interestingly, none of the other people I encountered at university had jobs either.

The idea that other people are only tools, and particularly that families see their children as such, is utterly repulsive.

I don't assist my family or other people because of this. Unfortunately, life has made me a capitalist who disregards human rights; I am presently undergoing therapy because I have reclaimed my human feelings. Some individuals have really gotten into robots.

The majority of people often see you as a "greasy pig" when you offer large sums of money to others. Avoid establishing a friendly connection with your the seller.

Emotions are important in human communication, but if we see life as a business, logic should remain. Many of my friends sold me out and used me like this.(It is possible to view most people as generally useless.)

Because of this, those who have a strong sense of self-worth gain a lot of life experience and become leaders among others.

To be honest, I instantly remove any mistakes made by other people. I provide clear instructions to those who lack understanding. They go after additional goals.

That's why I do everything on my own now, and my performance is high. If I had five more people, I would conquer the world. When a person is alone, he only loves himself, even though he meets new people.

They will always utilize it, regardless of how many catchy things you do. The conditions in which we live often lead to the theft of innovative ideas.

In general, I think kids should begin working at a young age, but they should be paired with really informed entrepreneurs. Families at least know who to blame, and if anything were to happen to their kids, they would undoubtedly exact retribution as adults.

I am aware that this is not a model that ought to be used, but I was raised in the business world from the age of seven, and when I was unable to find employment after graduating from college, I launched my own business. I currently have 2 companies.

Regrettably, in the environment where I grew up, individuals either take advantage of each other when they perceive a weakness or present attractive opportunities to each other.

Everyone has it, and everyone aspires to live it. Many individuals, even those in their families, betray others.

This is the brutal truth of life: the urge to start a "new life" is sparked by moving to a new location and meeting new people.But he remains lonely again. Because after a certain period of time, he gets bored of that person too. Today's world is like this, or rather, people were like this in history.
