Hope and trust are the two things that did the most damage to my businesses, wealth, relationships, and life in general. I have been brought to my knees several times in my life because I relied on others, trusted them, and hoped they are honest people. I was wrong. The most damage are usually done to us by the closest people, because they're the ones who have unattained access to our backs. And they've used it. The only thing that allowed me to escape the hell was my refusal to surrender. But I learn and change. Every time I get exploited and betrayed, I become stronger and understand the reality even deeper. There is no more trust left in me. No hope. No expectations. Everything I do is calculated and effective. It works not because of good lucky conditions. It works because it has no other way. And I am not resentful. I don't hate anyone the same way I wouldn't hate an angry dog for biting me. And I don't want revenge. What I do now is calm execution of a plan I decided to implement.
