The Create Your Own Life Show

About This Episode: I don't think our education system is about creating real people that want to learn. Rather, it's built to make little automotons that can get a job and later pay taxes. I got introbule a lot in school. Not like bad trouble, but like smart kid, I really want to learn trouble. I talked too much, I sung a lot and I asked questions about EVERYTHING. That got me in a lot of trouble. I was asked to be quiet, sit down and shut my mouth. I actually got in a verbal, coherent argument with my preschool teacher that I still remember. I'm cleaning out my parent's house and discovered my old report cards. In this episode I read some teacehr comments and have a little fun with it. I hope you enjoy!

About This Episode: There was a time when James Altcuher was losing a million dollars a week… In just a few months, his bank account went from $15 million to $143. Also he was in the middle of a divorce. He had to sell his apartment. He had nowhere to live, no job, no friends to turn to. Then he began to realize something: success in today’s world ONLY happens you choose yourself. And when he began to understand that, little by little, he started to pull himself off the floor.
