The millions of people who took a similar route and didn't become millionaires would like to point out that this story is exceptional, as in well above average, extraordinary and very uncommon. Congrats on thus far making the most of your life and abilities, though.

I didn't mean to imply this is a repeatable process. I know that I've been fortunate, and in my mind that chain of luck begins with stumbling upon the MITx courses. The OP asked about courses that impacted your life, so my story felt appropriate.
