We learned things from the original bookies that wrote down bets on scratch paper and answered phones that today's noobs will never know.
I was crunching numbers on graph paper before these new age hot shots were even born.
I was making 100k a year in I/T when they were in diapers, there's nothing they can tell me that I haven't already learned.
Now ask me if I believe my own shit.
I just do well off of experience, you learn from your past mistakes.
That's the only way you learn. Learn from past failures and listen to those who have paid their dues and know a thing or two about a thing or two.
That's why there's a lot of failures.
Hot shots that think they know it all and refuse to listen.
