That's almost exactly what I thought when reading this. I currently do read the book written by TenX Co-Founder Julian Hosp, being available in both German and English. Julian is the offspring of a middle class family and had earned enough to never have to work again before he was 30. The stories in his book are motivating and it is evident how big a role his mother played in being disciplined and thus successful. The statements above read like their origin was a cheap daily calendar of wanna-be wisdom.
