Why I read a book a day (and why you should too): the law of 33% | Tai Lopez | TEDxUBIWiltz

Spend 33% of your time with people below you. They need you. It is humble to help.

Spend the other 33% of your time with people equal to you. These people are your friends.

Spend the last 33% of your time with people above you. This is the path most people forget about. So for example you want to build a 1 million dollar company, then talk to someone who has already built a 10 million dollar comany. This is called the 10X Rule. Such people should be 10 or 20 years ahead your path.

Most good mentors are dead. But we have them in our books! You should read a book a week . Tai can read a book a day. He looks at the contents, then he flips all the pages, then he does it again, and finally he reads 1 chapter of the book.

He says most books have not more than 2 or 3 worthy ideas.

Learn to persevere. Tai's friend went to a mentor's office 17 times to seek his guidance and just get rejected till the 18th time.
