Man has $100 million under his bed — doesn’t realize it until 10 years later.


Today I bring you a true story.

Or at least, it was told to me as a true story.

​

And even if it wasn’t, the learning is huge.

​

Well…

Some time ago, a Filipino fisherman found a deformed pearl.
Deformed and huge.

​
It was so strange and so misshapen that he kept it as a good luck charm.

​
And so big that the only place he could store it was under his bed.

​
The thing weighed 34 kilos.

Yes… 34 kilos or 75 pounds.

​

One day, ten years later, our Filipino friend just discovered that the pearl was worth 100 million dollars.

​

100 million dollars.

​

100.

​

Yes… 100 million, USD

​

​

​

​

​

I’m letting the story sink in.

​

​

​

​

You got it?

​

​

Well… The idea I want you to sit with is that a guy spent 10 years working hard and living in miserable conditions… while sleeping on top of 100 million dollars.

​

​

You may be thinking now…

What an idiot.
That would never happen to you.

​

Right?

​

​

Right?

​

​

Are you sure?

​

​

Well… Having something incredibly valuable right under your nose, and still working like a slave because you never bothered to take a proper look at it.

​

​
No way that could happen to you, right?

​

Imagine the embarrassment.

​

That what separates you from where you are and where you dream of being… is something totally within reach.

​
I don’t know…

​
A phone call.
An email.

A visit.

An offer.
Going to a certain place and introducing yourself to a certain person.

A few meetings with agents, brokers…

​

​
Any of those things.

​

Or just knowing how to do it right.

That couldn’t happen to you.

​

Right?

​

What a fool, that Filipino guy.
To have the solution to his problems right under his nose and not see it.
That would be really stupid.

​

Really?

​

Are you sure??

​

What if I told you that you have millions under your bed… but you prefer to live in miserable conditions, working hard?

​

Take a look to this.

I’m going to give you 50% of the solution to any problem you have. I’m going to tell you what your biggest obstacle is.

You’re thinking it’s money — if only you had more. Or time — you don’t have enough. Knowledge — that one thing you still need to learn. Charisma, intelligence, or beauty — not enough of it. That thing you need to finish or fix,...

I'm sure you’ve been told this story before. But I don’t care. You need to hear it every day. A North Korean fisherman got distracted in the fog and drifted too close to the South Korean coast. How could he know that? Well… He realized it when his radio picked up a station he didn’t recognize… and… and… They were telling a joke! Yes, a joke. It was about two neighbors fighting over a parking spot. The fisherman laughed. How could there possibly be so many cars that parking would be a problem?...
