The Five Buckets: Knowledge, Skills, Resources, Network, and Reputation

Your knowledge and skills are the two most important buckets in life that can never be emptied. The other three buckets, resources, network, and reputation, can be emptied at any time. It's crucial to fill the first two buckets before focusing on the others. Without knowledge and skills, the other buckets will inevitably run dry. Prioritize learning and applying knowledge early on to succeed in life.
