Friday, January 22, 2945
Okay, disciples, I think it is about time I begin. I am testing your patience. It has already been two weeks since my last diary entry. Those that stayed are the loyal devout fans of mine. As a generous, kind, and awesome leader, I will take you guys in and train you to be successful villains. Now there will always be two types of people I have to teach. The stupid one and the smart ones. If you are the smart ones, you would have noticed I have already told you the requirements needed to be a successful villain. Now for the stupid ones, I will take time out of my amazing life and explain it to you one by one.
In my first diary entry. I talk about my success in DK. Now what made me successful in DK that allowed me to do anything I want? Luck and Money. Starting off with luck, I am sorry. You are either born lucky or you are not. The greatest example will be me and Bob. I was born with amazing looks, born with great intelligence, born with great athletic abilities, and I was also born with amazing luck. Now, look at Bob. He was born stupid, born ugly, and born with little luck. Bob barely passed all his classes with grades in the Cs while I passed ALL my classes in the As. He can be what you defined as a failure. Thus, if you were born with little to no luck, I am sorry. There is nothing you can do, but to work harder to be successful. As for you that are born with decent to a high amount of luck, congratulations! You begin at a higher starting point than others.
The second category required to be successful is money. Now if you have read my previous entries, you should know that money makes the world go round. It is true that not everyone values money highly. However, I dare say around 90% of the population will listen to your biddings for the sake of money. What about the other 10%? Well, 1% of the world is already at least as rich as me and there is no need for them to want money anymore. The other 9%? They are either fools trying to be Heroes or fools that don’t understand the value of money.

Now understanding the importance of money, you need to learn how to maximize the amount of money you can save. The best way is to be a miser. You need to value every single penny and nickels you see. You have to think of the big picture. Just think, every day you buy grocery and the price is $1.99. If you give them two dollars, get the penny back. Think of saving 1 penny a day for a year. That’s already a whole three dollars and sixty-five cents! In ten years, that value is thirty-six dollars and fifty cents! However, this method is only suitable for the unlucky and stupid fellows.
For those that are lucky and you are in dire need of money? Sorry, we see through your lies. If you are as lucky as you state you are, you would have been born into a rich family like me. However, there are people who are born into a rich family and would like to make more money. For fellows like those, you guys might be able to have one-tenth of my intelligence. Obviously, that is a compliment. The amount of gold in the world is limited. With this knowledge in mind, it is easily seen if you have more gold, everyone else has less gold. As a lucky fellow, how do you get richer? If you are intelligent, then it would be easy. If you are not, I recommend to be a rich lucky miser and just save money. Why not use your luck to earn some money? Through a series of tests and experiments, I have concluded the amount of luck in the world is limited.
The amount of luck each person has can be categorized into a number. For example, I was born with an approximate amount of ten billion points of luck. However, I was also born good-looking, athletic, rich, and smart. These four traits have already caused my luck points to drop down to 2 billion. When I was younger, I was ignorant and used my luck everywhere I go. The actions of my ignorant younger self has dropped my luck points to 1.5 billion.

After learning about the point system of luck, I conducted a series of test on 10,000 Luckers. What are Luckers? Luckers are those that I categorize people with more than one million points of luck after being born. After conducting these test and experiments on the Luckers, they ran out of luck to become a No-Lucker. As a No-Lucker, it is actually possible to force luck and become an UnLucker. No matter how hard I try or what methods I use, the way luck travel is only in one direction. It will only decrease for a person and never increase.
Luck is something that we should only use in dire need of situations. It is best to save up the amount of luck you have. For ordinary people, it is really hard to save up luck. It’s like an aura that leaks out and just appears randomly. For example, finding twenty dollars on the floor. You didn’t will it to happen, it just did. However, it is possible to conserve the amount of luck used. Stay clear of anything with random effects. Do not play the lottery or even simpler actions like rolling the die. All of these require luck. Never pray to ask for anything! By praying or hoping for something to happen is a conscious decision to use luck! In times of dire need, luck can be used to save your life.
Okay, students, this is a lot of information to process. Not all of you are ones that have one-tenth of my intelligence. It might take you guys a while to process. I will continue this lecture next time.
