I am successful because of my brains and my guts, put together, and I don't need some fancy-ass degree from a bunch of sweater-vest-wearing pricks who haven't gotten laid since Bush Senior was president... Do you know who studies sociology? People who would rather observe life than live it.

About This Quote

Sometimes it is best to take a step back and observe life in order to figure out how it works. By watching the world around you, you will be able to come up with better ways to do things. Someone who doesn’t study sociology may believe that they are capable of doing things that aren’t allowed or cannot be done. For example, they may think that they could get rich by scamming people. However, these people will waste their time and energy on ideas that will never work.
