I have seen many successful publications, and almost everyone has lived a golden life I have seen thousands of people who have earned millions of dollars and have a financial life to envy, have these people never failed? have they never had casualties in their lives? falls? disappointments? and why don’t they talk about it? I was poor because I am a person of many ideas, I sleep with a hundred ideas and agree with a thousand ideas. My projects were never solid, I left some gaps that made me fail in life. I didn’t take people’s opinions into account if I will be judged, but please do it differently so you don’t become poor like me
