Will I fail to succeed?
But
you will continue to succeed at failing while you continue to choose
to.
But
first you must stop lying to yourself.
"Study
sklls are non-existent" - lies. You claim that you're addicted
to computer games. So did you just start them and were instantly
brilliant?
No.
You learned to do them.
So,
you chose to learn computer games but not learn your courses
Well,
done. You're a success where you've chosen to be one.
You
have two choices:
- Learn to make money from the computer games. Google it. There are plenty of ways of doing it
- Treat your studies like a game. Google educational games. There will be some games that are based on the concepts in your studies.

What is your worst memory as an entrepreneur?
The year I lost almost £500,000 in two projects. The absolute worst part of it was that the projects went pear-shaped because I didn't follow my own advice.
One
project was a co-venture and it collapsed when the other partner
pulled out. How many times have I told people not to have 1 main
customer because if you do they have control over your business? Yet,
I ignored that when it came to every other aspect of the business
like business partners or investors. Now I say if you're going to
have business partners or investors have at least three so losing one
isn't an issue.
The
other project went belly-up because I broke the first rule of
software development: clearly write down what version 1 will contain
- all other ideas will go into later versions. However, because it
was taking so long to develop, I weakened and started adding
modifications to placate our beta testers and, of course, each
modification extended the development process. Stupid! Stupid!
Stupid!
So
technically, I didn't lose almost £500,000. I gave it away
