Today I was reading Unscripted: The Rat Race Escape, a book by author and entrepreneur MJ Demarco, and I figured out something interesting: I have let so many opportunities pass me by.

While This book's title might seem like another "Get Rich Fast" scheme, I promise It isn't. One of the main teachings of this book is that getting financial freedom is hard, and maybe the only way to get It If you aren't an athlete or musician is to create a business and provide value to the world.

In this particular chapter, called "Mind the Knowledge Gaps," he talks about how many people let the chances to acquire wealth pass them by, either by not taking the time or the effort to learn about the trends, filling the "gaps" in their knowledge and creating a produce/service that fills a need.

With that, I've realized that I have wasted so many opportunities in life. Whether It's crypto, friendships or relationships, I have passed on so many chances to have a better life, all because of stupid comfort and not being willing to learn what's needed.

But that stops today. From now, on, I'll focus on acquiring knowledge with a purpose and taking chances to become something bigger. I don't care If I fail, as I'm young and I'll learn at the end of the day. But I won't surrender.
