Productive property helps you become antifragile.

Proverbs 13:22 – The righteous man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.
Do the hard things so that you can say the hard things as leaders of men. Put yourself in a place where you can stand strong and say hard things because you’re not needing to bow before men for a paycheck.
Building skills is a wealth.
Build skills in your teens and twenties and as you grow you’ll start noticing opportunities come.
