    Yeah but one day you'll wake up and realise it's all in vain anyway, so why spend so much time working when you can do other fun stuff and have hobbies and travel. All that money won't make you happy in the end. It's just stuff. Emtpy. Workaholics have the worst midlife crisis. They realise they ve wasted their youth being a money making machine than doing what they really love, or finding meaning. A teacher shouldn't be promoting this kind of lifestyle in my opinion, it affects young people's mindset and makes them realise that money IS happiness while clearly it's not (to an extent it is, it does contribute to being happy I won't argue) . Sure a few will make it, they might even enjoy it, but that's the very few. The rest, when they realise they're not good enough or clever enough or lucky enough, they get depressed - we know where that can lead. Anyway, just my thoughts though do whatever the fuck you want to do

    @@ChinChillR63s wrong but nice try, human's normally hire people they can relate to and someone they could invite over for a BBQ or go over to their place for a meal and feel comfortable and maintain a long smooth conversation. If the boss/manager can't relate to the person they hire they will normally hire someone even though less skilled but they can relate to. If the manager/owner can put their ego & insecurities aside (which is very hard to do, if it was easy everyone would be doing it) they can hire the best worker even if they cant relate to them

    This guy is a workaholic, organised, OCD. He must get really pissed, if his day don't go according to plan. This guy is waaaaaaay busier than yanni...😜

    I prefer people like this to be honest no nonsense. If you're pissing about on the job you deserve to be carted off. Gotta have serious candidates if you want to get the result you want.

    @Green Mills People think its OCD, Nope, Guy simply knows how to manage his day. He is concerned about safety. Good qualities of Business Management. If people think this is overkill, Watch Ultimate Airport Dubai, You think this guy is hectic, Try working at a busy airport.

    @Manuel Castro you make zero sense. Nothing in this video has anything to do with inflation. He's a professional business owner. Show me the time he is unprofessional. I own three companies as well - to get rich you have to get shit done and make sure others do too. Timestamp where he isn't professional.

    This was honestly a great insight. Guaranteed 24 hours is not enough time in the day for this guy. You just have to be a different breed to operate like this guy.
