Hi my name is Tom. This is my belated Introduction.

Hi steem, thank you for reading my introduction.

I am a 36 year old guy who is crazy about the world. It is so exciting to be alive today. Things are moving so fast right and in my opinion placing the right bets will make people stupid rich.

In 2013 I was basically dying. My health was deteriorating, I was isolated from my own family and I was drowning in the high cost of living. I begged my ex-wife to get a job or leave the city which we were living in. She ended up leaving me taking my two children so she could live and easy life on government welfare.

I was close to suicide for a long time but I never gave up. I am now retired living a comfortable life in south east Asia. I have a new SO who is like my other right hand. We trade eat sleep and breath world events. She was the one who introduced me to steem.

Shockingly I have lost so much in my life by being the good guy but I have gained so much more by being selfish.

If i could give you some humble advice it would be this.

Don't chase anyone or anything. You don't need to chase success. Success will suck you in.

Be selfish! If your are at your partners throat.. then leave!
If you hate your job... then leave!

As long as you don't kill your self then it will be only a matter of time before you will become stronger and win.
I will leave you with my favorite youtube video here.
