Religion.... Really? Teach kids at a young age that there is a huge crock of shit in the sky and tell them that they should never question it existence and they'll believe you. After all orthodoxy is not thinking - not needing to think (1984 - George Orwell). If you've never changed your beliefs at least once in your life, then you've never started to think.
Health
Fat makes you fat....Not! Sugar and an excess of carbs makes you fat. After reading Men's Health for years, it took just one peek at Gary Taube's book for me to realize that I've been had. Real fucking bad! Now I make sure to eat lotsa avocados, nuts and fish. And never felt better.
Education
Get into a good national school and a good university and you're set for life. I actually believed that going to law school will make me some rich lawyer and stuff. Not so sure now. There's no possible way that the number of law students churned out each year are all going to make it. Not even close.
You end up rich if you were born in a well off family. Period.
Work
Spend half your life preparing for it and the other half doing it so that you can enjoy some rest when you're old and ugly. Plan on spending my life taking mini retirements every year. A month off the drudgery of life to do something that's actually enjoyable. Tim Ferriss style. Success should be measured by the amount of time that you have to spend on yourself every year.
Marriage
Marriage is an institution for feminizing men - Nassim Taleb
Spend enough time with a woman and you're start to realize how annoying they can get. Doesn't matter how pretty or curvy a woman is - there's always someone out there who's tired of taking her shit.
