Real Billionaires

Unlike in Hungary, winners in England don't hide themselves; they don't keep their win a secret, not even from close relatives. Instead, they proudly embrace themselves and their winnings. They appear on TV shows, their faces grace the cover of The Times, a giant check in hand, and they are featured in every tabloid newspaper for weeks on end.

The jackpot, as is often the case, was won by an ordinary person, in this instance, a postman. During one interview, the reporter asked the usual question: what will he do now? What will he do with all this money? The postman simply replied, "Tomorrow, I'll go to work and deliver letters just as I've done for the past 25 years." The reporter didn't understand the answer and asked, "Why?" "Because I love my job," the postman replied. "I would never do anything else. I'll buy a house for my loved ones and whatever else they need, and I'll certainly buy a few things for myself, but tomorrow I'll still put on my uniform and deliver mail."

I imagine that not many people, including the reporter, understand this attitude. They don't understand why someone would act this way when with their money they could do anything, live any life. Why wouldn't they quit their job, live the carefree life of a billionaire, why would they go back to a job that feels like drudgery to be exploited for pennies, yet there's nothing strange or even special about it.

Someone once asked me what I would do if I won the lottery. I didn't even have to think about the answer. I immediately blurted out that I would put it into TILT and implement unprecedented developments. It never crossed my mind that I would do anything else, that I would travel, that I would abandon everything because I hit the big one, because I love LifeTILT. This is my life, my child, my passion, and everything that allows me to fulfill my life and realize myself. If I won the lottery, I would continue to build it, work 12 hours a day, and even hold training sessions, because I love doing it.

I found that certain something that makes me happy, and that is truly a gift. If your job is your life, something you passionately love doing, then it's one of life's greatest gifts. You don't feel it as a burden or an obligation; you simply do it because it fills your days, because your life has meaning, because you work, because you build. Without LifeTILT, I would have nothing, and without LifeTILT, my life would have no meaning.

When I previously wrote, addressing teenagers, that when choosing a career, they should listen only to their hearts, to no one else, that's exactly what I was referring to. That they should only do what they love, what their heart dictates. Not what their parents want, because your parents' life is not your life. Don't make others' dreams come true, but your own, and there is no greater truth on earth than this. Finding your path, where you can fulfill yourself, that makes you feel whole in your life and a useful member of society—well, that is the secret to a truly happy life. I don't write this a thousand times to tell you to throw everything away and quit if you don't feel what you're doing, because you're doing a shitty job; rather, it's so you can live a full life. If you don't do this, your life will be considered a failure, and worst of all, you will feel it that way too.

Everyone has a dream. A passion, a calling that they do with a good heart, that they truly want to do, but most people don't dare to see it through. But dreams are dreams precisely because they are hard to realize, yet believe me, it's the only way to live. To fulfill yourself and do what you love. It's important to do what makes you happy, otherwise, you'll never achieve anything. LifeTILT didn't become successful because I found a niche in the market, or because my marketing is so damn good, but because I continue to build it with passion to this day. All my emotions are in it, my thoughts revolve around it every minute of the day, and how I can make it even better, even more valuable, from which others can also benefit. Money doesn't matter. Money never makes you happy, but the journey by which you achieve it does. LifeTILT makes me happy, I think this is called a calling.

That postman found his calling. He delivers letters and walks the streets day after day. Success is never measured in money or status, but in the value of your calling, where only one value system matters, the one you set for yourself. A postman who loves what he does has achieved far more than a middle manager who goes to work every day feeling sick and finds no motivation in what he does other than money. Yes, those are the ones who would quit everything if they won the lottery. What would you do if you won the lottery? Would you quit your job? If the answer is yes, then you need to change, and immediately stop whatever you're doing. Free yourself.

It doesn't matter what makes you happy, or how society judges what you do, if it makes you happy. It sounds cliché, but clichés are always written by life itself, and in this case, it's also true: do what your heart dictates, and you will live a great life, you will build great things.

You don't need to win the lottery if you live for your passion. The winnings will at most allow you to sit in better chairs, nothing more. But if you do what you do with passion and believe in yourself, then sooner or later you will sit in that chair even without a lottery win. That's how you too will become a true billionaire.
