When you're poor, reading more books is essentially just waiting to die.

You're broke as hell,
your account balance is in single digits,
rent and utilities are chasing you,
yet you're sitting there reading books,
taking notes, screenshotting, bookmarking.
You're not learning,
you're just finding a dignified posture for your incompetence.

Put it bluntly:

The more books poor people read, the easier it is to become useless.

Why?
Because books don't require sweat, insults, rejection, or embarrassment.
They're too comfortable.

And what you're lacking most right now
is exactly
a harsh slap from reality.

What happens when you go work?
You get despised, undercut, rejected, cursed at, ignored.
But
you get paid.

What happens when you read books?
You feel like you're "making progress"
"accumulating knowledge" "brewing something."
Translated:
Today I didn't earn a single cent,
but my mental state is great.

That's the most pathetic part.

When you're poor,
all your "once I'm ready"
"once I understand" "once I finish this book,"
really boils down to one sentence:
I don't dare step into the arena.

Being realistic:
• You don't lack knowledge
• You lack courage
• You lack shamelessness
• You lack action
• You lack resilience

So you chose the safest thing:
sit still and pretend you're working hard.

What's even more embarrassing is
those books you're reading now,
once you have some money,
you'll look back and think four words:

Complete garbage.

Because truly useful knowledge
comes from when you're running a stall and city enforcers chase you away,
chasing sales and getting doors slammed in your face,
quoting prices and getting cut in half on the spot,
getting trampled into the mud by reality—
that's when you forge real skills.

Remember this one thing, burn it into your brain:

When you're poor,
whoever is still "inputting,"
is already exiting the game of life.

Go work first.
Go lose face first.
Go make money first.

Once you have some cash in your pocket,
then books can talk to you.
