I’m the genius of myself. I believe that our duty on this planet is to fulfill the wishes and dreams of those that have perished the earth. My current dream is to make the world a better place. The only way to accomplish this, is to lead and teach the next generation by example. I want to die a martyr. In my past life, I believe that I was an island warrior, a samurai, a noble chieftain, a shaman, and a pirate. In this life, I'm a historian, philosopher, writer, hipster, and social deviant.
My name is Sean Edward Sagisi, but you can get to know me by my egos, Mr. Darkness, Mr. White, and Mr. Silver. Play your cards right than perhaps you can meet the man behind the masks. Be for warned, it is lonely on top of the mountain and only an elite few have been able to reach Mount Olympus to see me. Only the virtuous can fly under my banner of truth, justice, and love.
Society forces you to acknowledge traditions, norms, institution and religion. Once this occurs, you simply fail to think for oneself. My personal mantra is to live life by your own values. Times change, but values don't. I suggest to stop living and thinking inside a box of social constraint. Tear it down and simply create your own vessel. Break the chains that bind you. Only than, will you able see with your own eyes and start living life as a free spirit.

Things Ive picked up:
Never work for money. Working harder only makes the government and your bosses more money. Instead, learn how to make your money work for you.
Become financially intelligent - knowing the differences between assets and liabilities. The poor don’t have enough income to allow them to buy assets. The middle class have liabilities that they think are assets. The rich have assets and few liabilities. You become financially sound when your income matches your expenses for the month. Your assets pay for your luxury items, not income.
Formal education never teaches you about the power of money. School teaches you that with education, the money will come to you. In reality, money requires financial intelligence, not academic intelligence. Often people think education ends after college, simply it is only the beginning. Making money takes courage and risks. Having job security just teaches you to settle and follow the crowd (the rat race). If you want to be rich than you have to think with the mentality of “how can I afford that” than to think “I can’t afford that.”
It’s sometimes better to know little about a lot than to simply be specialized in one area. Keep your day job, but also run your own business. Learning from several businesses can provide vital information, formulas, and experience. 300 years ago the rich owned land. 100 years ago the rich owned factories. In modern day, the rich own information.
You must have a purpose to be rich. “I don’t want my parents dream of living in suburbia.” “I don’t want to work all my life.” I want to travel the world at a young age.” I want to be my own boss/ an entrepreneur.”
Have real world heroes or since of inspiration.
Know the aspects of accounting, investing, markets, and legal procedures.
