Wrote to Martin a few weeks ago, he replied asked him about crypto, passion, and what I should do about my job. I said I would post a better crop in a retail thread but totally forgot. Really happy he responded I plan to keep in touch with him I don't know to many successful people aside from my father. Here is the transcript as the picture quality might be pretty bad. I wrote back to him, really excited to possibly be his pen pal.
"Hey Anon,
Thanks for your note and support. Nice handwriting.
If I were you I would sell 90% of your cryptocurrency and make investments in hard assets. Read "Snowball" by Alice Schroeder about Warren Buffet. You can turn your 40k into millions and billions. Get a great business education reading as much as you can. Work to make extra cash. Spend as little as possible. Get a better job than WMT. Purpose and passion is up to you. Very few people just want to be successful and make money. Those people probably need their head checked, too. You should figure out what you're very good at and pursue something that leverages it.
Good luck,
Martin Shkreli"

>>8562700
By going aware through the world, doing new stuff, searching for interests. Ideally doing something that benefits others in this world. My only goal in life is trying to be able to look back at it, when I am old, and say that I lived it as best and fulfilled as I could. I don´t think that can only be achieved with big numbers in the bank account, maybe partly but there has to be other things too.

“Purpose and passion is up to you.”
“You should figure out what you’re very good at and leverage it to make money”
He’s said in old videos that passion is BS if you suck at what you’re passionate about, giving the example that he likes basketball but could never be an NBA star.

Just read this post I think he should be ok. Might send him 10-15$ I don't want him to spend money writing to me LMAO. Sounds kinda weird sending a millionaire money for postage stamps. I will ask him in my next letter to him.

I got to get some rest guys. Do you want me to post an update if he replies to my second letter? Should be around 10-20 days. Judging by how long the last one took.

Anyways stay safe guys, write to Martin if you want, he came off as a pretty nice guy in this letter. I used a digital letter service for my first letter and my second letter because my hand writing is garbage. Told him I would send the next letter in hand due to length restrictions. If he replies it should be a pretty cool response. I asked for book suggestions about the stock market, and I mentioned wanting to start a business someday but I am still brain storming.

If he replies anything you guys want me to ask him? I really want to know his opinions on A.I., the future of prosthetic limbs I think it is a huge market, I want to know what he thinks about politics as well and what his experience in pharma/business was like. I think it would be cool to get to know more about the guy, but again we will see if he replies.

Godspeed gents, I hope we all make it and become as rich as sultans and most importantly find our purpose and passion if that is your goal.

Life experiences (where most preach the “travel” meme). Find out what interests you by exploring culture, women, economies, exports, etc. fulfillment comes from deriving a sense of personal worth from your actions; helps if its profitable. Helping others (who need it) is very rewarding. They either pay in money, services or gratitude.

Others seek fulfillment from raising a family.
