Some researchers actually propose that the best way to become rich is to start out very poor, invest in self-education and finally possess the skills that bring in a ton of returns in a very short amount of time. We live in a world where one is rapidly able to acquire skills and knowledge to reach a very high level in their chosen field. Self-made individuals achieve their level of greatness through honed-in repression of impulsivity brought on by preferring instant gratification and choosing to sacrifice today in order to achieve a much bigger goal in the future. Every success-oriented man races against time. The logic can be drawn of 'Work smarter, not harder'.
