As a man, the moment you start complaining, sharing your worries and doubts, and showing your weaknesses is the beginning of your fall — with anyone. Why do you need to share it? Everyone has bad moments and doubts, but why the need to talk about them? Children share them to get help. But no one can help you. Only you can. And only you can be strong. This is the path you have chosen and only you can walk it. You are the leader. You don’t need empathy or pity from others. Everyone needs to be heard and helped because they are weak. But you are strong. You just need to accept everything. Things are the way they are. But you can handle it!

Imagine thinking that if you never drive your car faster than allowed in the city, then you don’t need the car to be able to go faster.

In the end, it all comes down to permission. If they give you the permission you will do it. The ultimate trick is to understand that they are you.

There are several pain points that need to happen in the lives of boys so they can become men. By trying to shield them from this pain, you are not doing them any service. You are not helping them. You are only delaying the experience of pain and allowing it to happen later, under uncontrolled, random, and unpredictable conditions. It would be much better to allow them to go through these experiences and feel the pain under your guidance.

Most people are reactive. They watch other people and react to their behavior. So if you see something as an attack and start defending yourself, they will react and start fighting you. But if you see their behavior as a friendly joke and start joking in return, they will react differently and start friendly communication.

The world is whatever you perceive it to be. You are whoever you decide you are and however you act. "But, let's say I see the world as abundant place where everyone gets everything they want, then I go out and get nothing. So, it doesn't work." How do you see abundance? Do you see other people just gifting you everything you want? Do you want things for free, without exchanging anything for them? Why? Are you willing to spend your life and work to then gift whatever you earned to random people? No? Why do you want others to do it for you, then? The world is an abundant place means you are allowed to live, learn, work, create value, and exchange it fairly for whatever you want. There are countless opportunities, this is abundance. "I decided that I am fit and strong, but when I look into the mirror I see a weak fat guy. It doesn't work." You decided. How does your decision affect reality? Do you eat like a fit and strong person? Do you train? Do you behave like a fit and strong person? No? That's not a decision then, it's just wishful thinking. You don't even believe in your decisions if you don't behave like the person you decided to be. The world is logical and effective. Just because you decided it won't stop being logical and become magical. You will need to work for whatever you want in any case. But if you don't see yourself as a fit person, you won't work to achieve that.

“Sit calmly in a dark room, close your eyes, and don’t think about anything. A light will appear far away. That is God.” No. That is light. You say it is God because that is what you believe. Your beliefs do not create reality. They only create virtual realities inside your head. Also, you were told that it is God. If you raised a child in complete isolation and he noticed a light in the darkness, he would not think it is God. Our beliefs and the way we name things do not change actual reality. They only change our perception and the virtual realities inside our minds. Actual reality is unaffected. The closer you get to understanding reality without made-up fantasies, the more effectively you will be able to use it to your advantage. So you can believe whatever you want. I will try to understand raw reality as deeply as I can.

Overthinking is caused by underacting. It doesn’t really matter whether you make the right move or not. Everyone dies in the end. What matters is this: did you live your life in reality or in your head?

When people have no logic, they will believe anything. This is why they don't teach logic in the school. But they teach obedience.

Big things are currently happening with the financial system. If you haven't studied Bitcoin yet, it will be your biggest regret in life in several years. Just start learning, it's free.

If you believe you are an incredible person, you will feel good and want to do amazing things. If you believe you are awful, you will feel ashamed and depressed. You will try to disappear. What determines whether you are incredible or awful?

Listen. I have a question for you. You have only one life, and there is so much exciting stuff going on in the world... How can you spend so much time on women?

Trying to awaken ignorant people when they don’t want it is meaningless. It is much better to find individuals who are searching for the truth and help them by sharing your experience and guiding them. So stop arguing. If your communication turns into an argument, you are talking to the wrong people. Let them enjoy their beliefs.

Millions of things happen in the world every day. But they are done by billions of people. You are only one of them. If you want to do anything meaningful, you need to focus on one thing for a long period of time. Trying to chase this “abundance” of experiences we see online is a death sentence. You are slowly digging your own grave. Stop it! Start moving in the right direction, building your life step by step.

As long as we are talking about a specific topic I'm interested in, I am listening and trying to understand your point of view. But as soon as the topic shifts to my character, I'm out. I know myself much better than you and am not interested in discussing it. Now you can talk to something you know the best, your dikkkk.

Not all interactions are about truth and principles. I don’t demand that my mother or other women speak only rational or objectively true things. And I don't expect them to understand how the world works. I don’t always challenge friends when they say delusional things. Sometimes interaction is about connection and communication. Not everyone is ready to let go of their delusional safe worlds and wake up to harsh reality. And that doesn’t mean we should reject them.

The most confident people I've ever met in my life were absolutely incompetent.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircese." — MLK Now, imagine what you can do if instead of faith, which is believing in something blindly, just because you decided that, you understand that if you do your best and never stop, you can climb any staircase.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL GROWTH ON SOCIAL MEDIA Something most people don’t understand, which kills their growth on social media and buries their accounts in irrelevance, is this: focus on your target topics and target audience. First, you need to be good at what you are doing, creating, or writing. Good doesn’t mean the best, or necessarily having credentials. Good means doing your thing and creating value. Additional points if it is unique or rare. Second, and the most important step that actually kills everything — you need to focus on your target audience. Not just numbers, but the people who will love what you are doing. Anyone outside this group will harm your views, engagement, and growth. Imagine you are a musician who creates classical compositions using a cello. To grow your account, you need to find people who love classical music, and cello in particular. Because they already listen to such music and like similar content, they will like and share your work too, if it’s good. Then the system will do the rest, making sure all cello lovers can discover your work. But if you show your music to rappers who hate cello, for example, they will ignore or dislike it, and the system will receive signals that people don’t appreciate your work and will stop promoting it. Even the slightest miscalculation in the target audience can kill all your efforts. This is why you should not engage with random posts on X, for example. It might feel good to get large numbers of impressions and even likes on your comments, but it actually harms your account very badly. Focus on your topic and area of interest. Don’t interact randomly. Only write posts related to your topics and comment on similar ones, leaving meaningful and valuable replies. I made this mistake myself, and many others have done it too. It’s time to correct everything.

If you want to be effective, to become smarter and more successful than the herd, you need to drop the natural lazy desire for magical explanations and dig deeper to understand how things actually work. "There is this bearded guy who created everything and watches everyone punishing the bad guys." "Soul is this magical thing inside us that controls us, but no one can find or measure it, it's metaphysical." "Quantum physics says that there are things beyond reality itself." Anything you believe is something you don't understand and it was put into your mind by someone. And they had their reasons, which were not "let's help them to become smart and successful". It's time to grow up.
