Fresh graduates should read this.

most newly graduates feel like they know a lot, but 2 or 4 years later most of them will feel like they don’t know much. college does not teach one intelligence. college only teaches one the tools needed to accumulate intelligence.

after college or even in college one should accumulate three things: reputation, money, and know-how.

One build reputation by giving your all at everything you do.

One build know-how by doing and improving the same task for long enough until one masters it to a certain degree. although one will never totally master anything but at least to a certain level.

One accumulate money by putting aside at least 10%  or more of ones earnings before one pays anybody else and by investing. One invest by buy low and sell high. One only make money from buying not from selling.

reputation, money and know-how do not mean much, but life itself means something and for our life to mean something we have to do something meaningful within our life time. And anything meaning we want to accomplish needs reputation, money, and know-how.
