From Time Millionaire to Billionaire | #95

How Youth Can Supercharge Their Potential

Nov 03, 2023

Every Friday, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations. We're a community of 150+ curious people reading these newsletters.

A few weeks ago I was reading a Twitter Thread by Sahil Bloom about some of the powerful concepts everyone should know called Time Billionaire. It was an interesting topic, so I started researching it. Today, I’ll talk about what it is and how it should be important if you are a youngster.

Do you know what is the difference between a million seconds and a billion seconds?

1 Million seconds is about 12 days

1 Billion Seconds is 32 Years

If you have 12 days to live, you are a time millionaire, but if you have 12+ years to live, you are a time billionaire.

Time is the most precious asset we have. When we are young, we have a lot of time. We are time-rich. We should treat time as currency as we will never get it back. We complain as we don’t have time, but it’s about how we utilize it. Sahil shares a quote from Stoic Philosopher Seneca in his newsletter, which goes, “We are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not ill-supplied but wasteful of it."

So, if you are young, invest time in learning more, building projects, meeting new people and growing. If you start, you’ll have a great unfair advantage.

Tim Urban, writer of his blog Wait But Why, shares our life in weeks. When you fill in all the weeks you have lived, you will get to know how much you have lived and how much time is remaining.

So what are you waiting for? Start investing your time in the right place.
