The Real Billionaires

A million seconds is 11 days.

A billion seconds is slightly over 31 years.

Sure, a billion dollars is cool and all…

But, how cool is a billion seconds??

…WAY cooler.

Here’s the deal: most people trade their billion seconds for as much money as they can possibly collect—which rarely ever amounts to anything near a billion dollars.

Here’s what’s ironic: billionaires—the people who actually manage to collect that much—would trade back their billion dollars for a billion seconds in a heartbeat.

No hesitation.

The bottom line: Only trade time for money if you have to—out of necessity. Otherwise, spend your time doing what you love—there’s no better way to spend your time.

And that’s where the real billionaires are found.
