Para… Para… Paradise… No, it wasn’t the lyrics to a Coldplay song. Instead, it was nothing other than an exotic parrot at the Jamaican beach resort trying (and failing) to welcome incoming guests as they checked in. Sure, the initial signs were good. The Bearded Man was handed a cold fruity drink upon arrival and the staff seemed nice enough. He walked in, saw the never-ending buffet and smelled the unforgettable scent of fried food in paradise. It was clear that every detail was taken care of, and that he wouldn’t have to worry about a thing for the next week. Still, something was missing. He grabbed a tray full of drinks, found the first hammock he could find, then meditated on the idea for several hours, possibly napping for the majority of them in the process. Eventually, he shot up like a bolt and said: “Screw this!” He went across the street, rented a scooter, and drove to the less touristy parts of the coast. When he finally found himself in a Diplo music video with Luxx & Albzzy, he knew had arrived.

When you’re down, they say that one of the best ways to feel better about your situation is to stop where you stand, and find someone you can help. Paradoxically, when you feel that you are your poorest, give some of your money away. When you feel no one is listening to you, listen to other people. The universe has a strange way when it comes to things like this, and The Bearded Man tried it out for himself one day. He was concerned about how he was going to pay for his hostel that week, and he only had $10 to his name. There was a beggar outside of his hostel, and he decided he’d give $2 of it to the beggar just to see what happened. Nothing. Well, he certainly felt better about himself for helping someone in need, but the universe didn’t pay him back just then. Now he only had $8 left. What now? Unsure of whether or not anyone would employ him, he started walking the streets, thinking about how to get money. Suddenly, a mugger jumped out from around the corner with a knife. He asked for all The Bearded Man’s money. When the mugger saw that he only had $8, he said: “You know what? It’s not even worth it.” We’ll never know whether the mugger would have taken the original $10 bill, but one thing’s for sure — the less you have, the less you have to lose. When The Bearded Man made his first million a few years later, he wondered if he’d really learned anything at all from the experience.
