There’s a reason the rich get richer.

To those who have much, more will be given. To those who have nothing, more will be taken.

That’s called the Matthew Principle. It’s an economist term ripped straight from the bible. It’s sometimes summarized by the adage “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.”

Excellence is exponential. The athletes get more athletic. The millionaires become billionaires. And the best musicians keep making the best music.

The same can be said for imperfection. The more we slack off the worse we are the next day, and the day after that. And so on. This is why the younger you start, the more opportunity you’re given to nurture your excellence. It’s also why the most important time to invest is in your 20s.

You reap what you sow, to use another biblical phrase. So, if you plant shit seeds now, you will reap a poor harvest later. I don’t want that to happen to you or me, so this is what you need to do.

Take risks and invest everything you can
