Are you a loser?

- Losers learn.
- Winners start.

Learning is your **excuse** to avoid real work.\
It feels good.\
It **feels** like you’re getting somewhere.

But *knowledge is caught, not taught*.

Stop learning and *DO* something.

**ANYTHING**.

- Action creates experience.
- Experience creates opportunity.
- Opportunity needs more action. ♼

Luck doesn’t exist.

But I know you insist that it does, so I’ll concede that “luck” comes from taking action.

Full stop.

**Luck is the result of action.**

> *But, but…what about lottery winners?!*
>
>  **—You**

Oh no, you got me, I haven’t heard that one yet.

I can’t believe all those lottery winners listened to an audiobook about winning and were magically granted the grand prize!

Oh wait… That’s. Never. Happened.

What did they do?\
They bought a goddamn lottery ticket. \
What does the word *buy* imply?

ACTION.
