Making Money in the 21th Century | Real Life Tips

Lately, I've been really stunned how far the internet and content sharing has come.

Although your ego can be a plus in some cases, like in the case of Steve Jobs, something that makes your attitude a lot more serious, it usually keeps you on the same spot for a long time, slows down your progress and...

Already too many people live boring, bland lives, dreaming about a better life from time to time, not doing anything to make it happen. Of course, people that surround you have the biggest impact on your thinking and it's really hard to escape from your natural way of thinking that your parents instilled in you, but hey,  it's 2017 . In 2017, living your dream life is easier to achieve than ever.
