QUOTES

“Happy money makes you smile when you receive it.” [02:43]

“Climbing a mountain is like making money. Because when you climb mountains, you can just, smile and sing together with a lot of friends. And you just enjoy every step of the way, with your family members, whoever you want to climb with. But a lot of people try to run up the mountains so fast. [They think] the fastest is better. So if you climb like that, if somebody, a friend, wants to climb with you, you kind of push them away, right? Or the family members, ‘no, I'll go first.’ And still, you can climb a mountain, which is more fun. But somehow, a lot of people think making money is a single sport, not a team sport. So that's why they end up being very miserable, and lonely and depressed.” [05:53]

“You don't have to change your financial situation to change how you feel.” [07:19]

“The key is to appreciate where you are, and then start moving up.” [09:30]

“If you get too curious about your great future, and if you cannot resist your curiosity, that's a time to act. It's not a belief. And when you just try it for fun, you will see the experience.” [10:27]

“You have to account for what you exchange your money with. If you try to get the money and don't care about what you're exchanging with, you will be in trouble. Because some people try to exchange money with peace of mind. Your family time, your quality time, your health . . . in exchange for money. So my question to you . . . is it worth it?” [14:37]

“No million dollar comes after you did that. A lot of people go after the money, but the money comes after your service. So just forget about how much money you make. It just comes in later, as a result of the quantity and the quality of the service you provided. So you don't have to worry about it. Because if you did the right way, if you did the right job, the money would come. So just focus on doing what what's great for a lot of people.” [22:12]
