Stop.
asking me what books I read. I do not read books.
I don't read books.
I never read books. I've already told the story of the one book I've read in my adult life when I was in a jail cell.
I don't read books any other time unless I literally am in jail. I refuse to read books and the reason I refuse to read books
It's because I do something that supplements reading books and it's called living life.
Reading books.
is a very cheap way
to I guess entertain. I wouldn't call it entertainment because my brain is far too advanced
I'm too smart to read. I'm not going to sit there and go, smart people read.
I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and fucking fighting, fucking a bunch of hoes and champagne and going crazy. I can't just sit there, oh!
Oh, and the pirate on the boat went...
It's for people with slow brains. You know, there's different kinds of intelligence, and there are smart people with slow brains.
But the smartest people in the world also have quick brains. My brain moves quickly. And I can't read a book. I can't.
Read a book.
I can't do it. There's no book thrilling enough. It's the same reason why I can't watch TV.
I cannot watch Netflix.
I can't, because if I sit and put Netflix on, I end up just sitting on my phone.
Because my phone I can do a whole bunch of stuff and Netflix is just background noise. It's not enough to entertain me. No show is thrilling enough. I can barely watch YouTube videos.
Because people talk so slowly. Have you ever YouTube something?
Like how to use your phone's camera, whatever, some bullshit.
Hi, welcome to the channel today. Today I'm going to show you how to use your phone's camera. So before we start, if you'd like to subscribe, skip, skip, skip. I can't even fucking listen to their shit for more than three fucking seconds. It pisses me off.
Everything is slow and reading books is exceptionally slow. So how do I supplement the knowledge that books provide
- Thank you.
And how did I become such a genius? Well, there's two answers to that question. One, I don't think books provide knowledge.
Books provide information, but information is not knowledge.
My kickboxing coach used to say to me, "There's one way to learn a lesson.
the hard way.
And there's only one other way to learn a lesson.
the harder way.
And it's absolutely true. You have to feel it to believe it.
So you can read all the books in the world about how getting married is stupid and you're going to get divorced, raped in the West, and the woman's going to take all your money.
But you're gonna meet some chick and fall in love with her and marry her anyway, because you're an idiot. But if you get divorced, raped once, then you won't do it again. There's only one way to learn a lesson:
It's a hard way. So you may be reading all this information,
But do you know anything?
No, you don't know anything. You only know things by doing things, by living.
So one of the ways I supplement the fact that I never read is I live.
And I live a very interesting life and I do what I want all the time and I have the
capability to do anything I want to do. So while you'll sit and read about Taoism or Stoicism like a dork, I can fly to China and go into a Taoist temple and say I want to live here for a month.
I can do these kind of things. So I live my life. All of my knowledge, everything I've ever said in these Tate speeches,
comes from things I've lived, things I've done, I do things.
And I don't want anyone to ever think that reading something is the same as doing something, because doing something will teach you lessons
far faster.
than reading anything.
Try and do.
I'll give you an example.
I can't play piano, you can't play piano.
There's a piano here. I sit there and start trying to play piano by myself, just pressing keys, fucking around, trying to get stuff that sounds good, fucking around with the pedals, whatever, whatever.
Another guy sits there and only reads a book about piano and doesn't touch the piano.
In six months, who will be able to play piano better? Me or him?
Me, because I've been doing things while he's been reading things.
Reading isn't real life. All the time you spend reading, if you were to fuck it off and spend living, you would learn more. If you did the right things. Problem is, with most you dorks, you're either broke or you're lazy, so if you throw reading away,
then what you're going to do is just watch TV. You're not going to do anything.
But if you were to actually go living instead, you'd learn things.
That's one of the first points I have about reading. The second point I have about reading is, another reason I don't read is because I play chess. And when you play chess, chess is completely different than reading. Because reading is static. Reading is just...
information,
Consume the information. Good show there from Tate! Chess is constantly changing and evolving and moving. No two chess games are the same.
So it's very much like life. You have to apply knowledge you know on an unfamiliar situation at all times. It's completely unfamiliar.
So chest supplements reading completely. If you can choose between the two, choose chest.
I think the only reason people read nowadays anyway is because it's an easy way to gain some kind of bragging rights.
It's bragging rights without pain. It's bragging rights without danger.
"Hey, have you seen all these books I read?" You sat still and you turned pages.
Like, if I'm gonna brag, I'm gonna brag about shit I did which others can't do. Dangerous things. That takes balls. Because the current education system is read, read, read.
It's not do, do, do, it's read, read, read.
And that's why most people who come out of school can't do shit.
That's why college and university is a complete waste of time. I did not go to university. The most successful people I know did not go to university.
I do not have four years to dedicate
to sitting there reading books of outdated knowledge, when all the latest information in the world's on my internet, Google browser, for free anyway, and listen to some dork
who's never made any money in his life, tell me how to live my life.
It's complete garbage. If you meet anyone who's successful near any field, most of them,
Didn't go university. Now I understand there's some professions where you need to go university to become a doctor, blah blah blah. I understand that.
My point is, in general, is that the whole education system is not based on doing things, it's based on reading things.
And this is why if you want information on how to get something done, you need to speak to somebody who can do stuff.
So if I'm going to learn piano, I want to learn piano from somebody who plays piano, not somebody who's read how to play piano. I don't want someone to give me a book and say, read this and we'll talk through it together. No, I want you to play piano, motherfucker, right here in front of me. And I want to watch you do it. And I want to try and see you do it. I want to learn from you.
Thank you.
This is going to all tie into one more thing called My Hustlers University. My Hustlers University is every single lesson
I have ever learnt in my business career. I've run over 100 companies, I've won with some, I lost with others, etc, etc. And I have 100 stories with 100 business lessons that are going to teach you everything about making money from the ground up. Because what you'll notice in your life, ladies and gentlemen, is
Nobody has ever sat there with you and said, "This is how you make money."
They've said get a job, maybe.
or you know,
drop shipping or some garbage. But no one's ever sat there and go, okay, cut the bullshit. This is the real world. This is how you make money. Any field, any profession, doesn't matter if you have investment money, doesn't matter if you're starting with nothing, doesn't matter if you're rich, poor, doesn't matter if you already have a business, looking for a business idea, doesn't matter if you have an idea and you don't know how to launch it, doesn't matter. This is the framework, no matter what, this is how you make money from anywhere in the world like this.
Nobody's ever done that before, except for me. I've done that in my hustlers university. I teach you everything you need to know on how to make money. Exactly. We used the piano analogy one more time. Imagine you were to go up to a piano guy. A guy playing piano is the best pianist you've ever heard.
He's a bad boy.
and you go up and say, "Look, I want you to teach me how to play piano." You're going to know how to play piano.
Exactly the same with me. Multi-millionaire, I'm going to sit down with you one-on-one and teach you everything there is
to know about making money, no reading, no time wasting, action and cash.
- Buckle the fuck up. This is the smartest thing you've ever done. This is gonna be about business. Everything I know about making money.
Nobody goes to university and leaves knowing how to get rich. And if you look at all the richest people in the world, or all the most successful people, they'll say, "I didn't go to school."
or I quit university, I dropped out.
because you're not learning anything about getting rich. I don't know about you.
"All I ever want to do is get rich." I didn't give a fuck if I got rich breaking rocks,
or got rich being a professional fighter. I didn't care.
I want money.
Congratulations, you're about to learn.
