I started taking this path last year when i turned 20. I was never particularly good in school because i would skip classes and not give a F about the omega teachers telling me some bullshit( i had 2 gay teachers, art and maths). I dropped out in the last year of school while being a beta, getting depressed because it was the wrong lifestyle for me without me or my parents knowing. I am of Afghan origin and my parents were concerned and so they asked me to come to Afghanistan, get new inspiration and learn about the culture and find myself in the world. I now know it was the best thing to happen ever in my life as the western culture completely fucked me over.

On the first days i learned about the hardships of life, i had lived all my life in Germany in a society full of racism, prejudice and beta environment. I saw that people were a lot more worse off than me but they were not being a bitch about it (like i was) and worked hard to pay for their lifestyles, i also noticed a LOT of expensive cars and would ask my friends why there so many of them here, and they told me that they were from the Mafia/Government.

My father was a second star(touran in Dari) general so he knew a lot of people and also some i would have called shady at that time. One day he asked me if i wanted to come to a high class party and i agreed because why the fuck not, there was nothing better to do. So i went there and experienced something you would only know from movies, high class people in expensive suits, bodyguards in multiple vehicles for a single person etc etc.

I talked with a lot of them, mostly entrepreneurs and also met the former prime minister of Ukraine. I got hooked on the charisma and confidence these guys had, they didn't care about everyday stuff, they talked big and all had hardworking attitudes , even while drunk they would discuss new laws and market niches or rising companies they had invested in.

My father had a close friend, lets call him Mr. X. Mr. X had a few companies all over the world ranging from trading, logistics and security companies. I asked him some time later after thinking about all these things if he would teach me some stuff regarding success and business.Long story short he approved to aid me to business in Europe and gave me a few market niches to check out, when i asked him why he wouldn't do it himself he said he cant leave the country. I assumed it was because of family reasons, being the oblivious me, but it didn't make sense in his lifestyle and so i did some research and found out he was on the Wanted list of Interpol for Tax evasion.

I kept researching and going to different institutions to get some information about taxes and i was ready to go, sent some emails to some companies and now i am here, 21 year old me sitting on 60k$ spare cash while running a trading company as well as an newly found IT company i will concentrate on.

I didn't post this to brag or tell a fairy tale. I want to show the community in r/TheRedPill that finding yourself might need a change of environment, go travel, talk to different people and find your inspiration. It wont happen while sitting at home playing video games.Merci
