“Time to get up for school, Daniel.”
I could already feel the sweat soaking through my pajamas.
Are they going to hit me today?
What if they’re waiting for me...
Where should I hide at lunch...
That’s what it was like every single morning before school.
You just didn’t know where or when you were going to get attacked.
It was so unpredictable.
Now, also at that time, because I didn’t really understand English, my mom bought me this little English computer dictionary.
And if I remember correctly, this thing cost quite a few hundred bucks…
Money we didn’t have.
But my mom bought it for me. Because she’s like that. She always makes sacrifices for me...
Anyways, I was so happy with my little computer.
I would take this little computer to school and write out all the words I didn’t know.
And it was amazing. I loved it. It was so useful.
And it helped me finally start learning English.
But when the other kids saw it…
They didn’t like it at all.
They started to TRASH me. I still remember their faces.
“What is this stupid fancy computer?”
“You can’t afford stuff like this!”
“You think you’re so cool bringing all these electronics to school...”
I couldn’t really understand what they were saying.
But it didn’t matter.
Because before I was able to say or do anything, this one damn kid grabbed it.
And ran around with it mocking me...
And I was desperately chasing him.
“Give it back! Please, give it back!”
*SMASH*
Too late.
The damn kid had thrown it out the window of the second story.
And by the time I got it back, it was smashed and broken.
It didn’t work anymore.
Tears in my eyes. I thought.
“Oh no… What am I going to tell mom?”
I knew how hard my mom had worked to get me this gift.
And I just couldn’t break her heart like that.
So do you know what I decided to do?
I decided to not tell her.
That’s right, I kept it a secret.
And I decided that the only way I could make things right would be by learning English.
So that’s what I did.
I acted like it was still working, but I was actually using one of those big paper dictionaries.
I would flip through it, highlight it, and write down each word I didn’t know 100 times.
Then I would practice, pronounce and spell those words again and again.
And just like that, I would memorize 5 - 10 words EVERY day.
So here’s what I want you to take away from this story.
It doesn’t matter what you have. It matters who you are.
You can have all the resources in the world…
But without persistence, and without determination - it all means nothing.
Sure it’s easier to learn English with the computer dictionary - but I didn’t really need it to learn English.
I could have said.
“Oh well, now it’s broken - I can’t learn English.”
I didn’t let what I have stop me from becoming who I want to be.
Yes, even though when I look back, it makes me feel angry.
At the end of the day, it shaped who I am today.
And there was something good that came out of it.
Because from the kid who couldn’t speak a word of English, I’ve now written 13 books - all in English.
And from the poor background where we couldn’t even afford a little computer…
I could probably buy a ton of them if I wanted to.
So don’t let your current circumstances dictate your future.
You go out there and look for the circumstances you like.
And if you don’t find them - make them.
Now, sure they were able to take away my computer, but what they couldn’t take away from me was my English.
They couldn’t stop me from learning and improving my skills.
And it’s the same in business. You can lose an employee, a deal, or even your company. But what no one can take away from you is your skills - and what you know.
So if you haven’t yet started developing a High-Income Skill, I’ve created a free quiz that’ll help you discover the one High Income Skill you were born to do.

Today I’m talking with Luke Ranieri (@ScorpioMartianus) who literally speaks fluent Latin and conversational Ancient Greek. He’s part of a small community of speakers around the world who have kept the Latin language alive, even though as a native language of Ancient Rome it died out over a thousand years ago. For him, learning Latin is about the community but most importantly about accessing the huge body of literature, ancient and modern, written in Latin. It was really cool to hear him talk about the way that his ability to speak Latin has allowed him to empathize with ancient Roman literature at a much higher level.
We talked about what Latin sounded like and how he and people like him have accurately reconstructed the pronunciation — he’s not just making this stuff up! We also talked about learning Latin and the way Latin is taught in high schools in the U.S. and the U.K., and as you can imagine Luke certainly has a lot of thoughts about that! I studied Latin and Ancient Greek in high school and it was interesting to compare experiences with Luke.

This recipe is in my "Simply Pho" Cookbook https://amzn.to/2vQtSCU
►Ingredients:
Yield: 4 servings
One 1-ounce (30g) piece of galangal, cut into 1/4-in (1-cm) thick slices
3 stalks lemongrass, cut on a bias into 1/4-in (1-cm) thick slices
2 large cloves of garlic
1 shallot
5 kaffir lime leaves, torn with the stems still attached
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
½ cup fresh straw mushrooms, halved
1 pound (450g) prawns, kept whole
3 bird-eye chilis, sliced on a bias
½ cup sliced onion
3 tablespoon lime juice
3 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon tom yum paste
1.3 pound (600g) fresh rice noodle
A few sprigs cilantro, chopped
Salt, pepper
1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
1. Grill the galangal, garlic and shallot on open flame (eg. Grill over a gas burner set on low heat) until slightly charred on the outside. Then rinse and peel off the black bits.
2. Place all grilled items and the lemongrass into a pot filled with 6 cups (1.5 liters) water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 7 minutes to bring out the aroma.
3. Add the kaffir lime leaves and chicken stock powder. Turn the heat to high, add the mushroom and prawns and cook for 2 minutes until the prawns turn orange red. Then add chilis, tom yum paste and onion and cook for another 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
4. Add lime juice and fish sauce while off heat to maintain the fragrance while avoid making the broth bitter.
5. Divide the noodle into the serving bowls. Ladle the hot soup over. Garnish with some chopped cilantro.
For dipping: Salt pepper lime sauce (muoi tieu chanh): Simply mix half a teaspoon each of salt and pepper, a pinch of sugar and squeeze in a wedge of lime. You will be amazed how such simple sauce can turn out so amazing!
