People will tell you to take life slow. They will say you have time. Relax. Enjoy yourself. You're still young. They are lying to you. None of us knows how much time we have left. I could drop dead while 5 minutes after posting this. Do your living NOW. Get rich NOW. Marry her NOW. Have children NOW. Repent to Allah NOW. You have no time to waste. I just found out Ben Bader, a fellow copywriter, passed away. He was in his 20s. I didn't know him personally but we were online mutuals. I liked him a lot. What I liked most about Ben is how easy he made everything look. He made getting rich look easy. He made living life look easy. In every video of his I watched, he looked like he was having a blast. We're both salesmen. It's common for people like us to sell through fear. Ben sold through hope. He was an optimist. And optimism is infectious. He made you feel like you could achieve anything you wanted. It's not hard to make money. It's EASY. You can do it. Anyone can. Ben made me rethink how I sold my own products. And as a result, I've become more encouraging. I'm in my 40s. An old head. Ben might have called me Unc. I can say, in many ways but not all, during in his short time on earth Ben did and achieved more with his life than I have.
