/biz/ - Business & Finance

I don’t get it. I DONT JUST FUCKING GET IT. This guy, who happens to be a friend of mine, used to go to college with me studying Computer Science. He was a cool guy, but a complete retard and passed with a sub 3.0 GPA. Naturally, he couldn’t get a job after graduation and started becoming a bum and doing drugs. 5 years later, while I’m waging away in my boring as fuck job, I decide to drop a message to him on normiebook to see how he’s doing because why the fuck not. He invites me to some party at some fancy hotel and I’m like ok. I go there and it’s like a fucking E3 event with HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. I then find out he’s running his own MULTI MILLION DOLLAR business. This nigger has Series 2 funding from fucking VENTURE CAPITALISTS. He has OPed in several major news papers in the business section. He has 2 supermodels by his side orbiting him all the time. I’m happy for the dude but HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS SHIT HAPPEN. HOW DOES ONE GO FROM DOING COKE TO DOING MULTIMILLION DOLLAR DEALS. JESUS CHRIST FUCK I don’t understand this reality anymore...
