About
Welcome to The Bank of Notes: the underground source for notes of all kinds.
What made me start this?
Well, I like to read. A lot. And when I read, I have this habit of taking METICULOUS notes. The only problem is that these notes become scattered all over my hard drive, my Dropbox, and my floor. So I created this website to serve as a public hub of these notes and other awesome ideas that spawn as a result of my excessive knowledge accumulation.
I’m a firm believer in self-education. As I’m writing this, I’m halfway through a year-long break from university, yet I’ve learned far more in the past 6 months than I did during two years of university. Unless you want to become a doctor, a lawyer, or some other profession that absolutely requires a formal degree, there’s no reason to go $50-100k in debt to get an education that you could’ve gotten cheaper, better, and more efficiently elsewhere.
But I became a voracious reader even before I had read about the self-education movement or about the widespread backlash against the formal education establishment. The quote that inspired me to embark on this rigorous self-education, and continues to inspire me to this day, is a famous quote by Benjamin Franklin:
“If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
The Bank of Notes offers several zero-risk, high-yield investment opportunities.
