David Karp, Tumblr’s founder, dropped out of Bronx High School of Science at 14 to focus on computers. He just sold Tumblr to Yahoo! for $1.1 billion at the age of 26.
It’s the same story over again. Bright kid going to a prestigious school drops out, learns new technology, and becomes extremely wealthy. I don’t know if there’s any clearer message than that that shows you that you are ultimately in control of how successful or wealthy you become. Don’t blame the lack of schooling. Don’t blame your teachers. Don’t blame your parents.
If you really want to make it in this world, go out there and learn, innovate, and sell. If you’re seeking advice or a place to learn how to code, then I’ve already spent hundreds of hours providing those for you already:

And when you are ready, and think you have what it takes, then pick up this book and learn from my mistakes and successes. It’ll save you a lot of time by not having to learn all the tips on your own like I had to do: http://regoapps.com/lifehacked
Interesting side note: David and I were in the same high school at the same time. Another person at that school at the same time, Grace Wong, went on to become a Hong Kong TV star. I was just watching one of her shows the other day. Maybe there was something in the air at the place at that time.
This is a cage-free egg farm. This supplier would be allowed to also call this farm “humanely raised” and depending on the feed, call it organic. Does it look humane to you? Does it look like they have any more space than a battery cage? They’re still debeaked. Still de-toed. The males are still ground up alive! And they’re still slaughtered. So what could possibly make this “humane”? That’s right, nothing.

Petition urges UK to stop funding bullfights
A new petition has been launched aimed at calling on the British government to end its use of citizens’ money to help fund bullfighting via Spanish farmers. The call comes on the heels of widespread angst and frustration in Europe over the continuation of Spain’s bullfighting industry.
“Every year, £110 million of taxpayer money is given to Spanish farmers who use their pastures to raise fighting bulls. Under the guise of “Common Agriculture Policy,” these federal subsidies are the key support that keeps the bullfighting industry from financial ruin,” reads the petition.
It continues to say that “rejecting bullfighting is about more than revenue: it’s about rejecting torture. “Standard” treatments for fighting bulls include blinding them, beating them, sawing off their horns, administering heavy laxatives, and depriving them of sight, all before the fight.
“Afterwards, as you probably know, the bulls are surrounded by several men and brutally stabbed to death — in what is unarguably the bloodiest spectacle. Even bloodless bullfights conclude with stressed and injured animals who suffer.”
Bullfighting has been a controversial topic in Spain and while animal rights activists have continued to push for an end to the practice, many local governments and municipalities have argued they are “historic cultural” attributes of Spain and should exist.
Going after the money, however, could be a new method in pushing against this “historic” practice.
“Financial analysts and social commentators agree: government funding has no place in heartless bloodsports. Tell the government that we won’t fund their misguided bullfighting subsidies any longer,” the petition continues.
The petition still needs around 10,000 signatures before it is sent to the UK government.
