How to get enlightened?
Steps
1. Confirmation bias & Cognitive dissonance - understand the hell out of these concepts
2. Realize that everybody is subject to these
3. Realize that you're not an exception
Boom!
How you feel when looking at successful people predicts whether you'll succeed in life
Jealousy, hatred and bitterness are loser's emotions
Observe and learn from them instead
As a man, you can not count on friendship of women
Women can't be good friends to other women too, let alone men. And no one knows this better than women
Women are not capable of friendship because they lack moral compass and agency
All they have to go by is their own emotions
Does she leave your place with more or less mess than before she arrived?
It's an important indicator of the quality of the woman
While she's at your place, is she enabling or preventing you from pursuing activities of your interest, things you do for your self-growth?
Sympathy for self-destructive people is poison for your mind
Let them destroy themselves, don't lose your peace of mind over it
If you spare your thoughts (and resources) for those fools, they'll take you down with them
"Unfairness" of life is supposed to motivate you to push harder for success
Unfairness is Universe's shit test designed to weed out losers
Besides, success would not be as much fun if life was "fair"
NO is the most powerful word in language
Every time you want to say No and you can't, the other person gains more power over you
Start saying NO and take back the power
Yes-men are the weakest people
"If you're not having fun, you're wasting your life"
NO, if you're not getting better with every additional day, then you're wasting your life!
Imagine dying fat, sick and depressed. What did you learn in life, Mr Funn?
The bare minimum criteria for a man's life to be called a success is for him to provide for himself and his dependents (wife, children and parents - adult male sibling not included), and without debt
Do you watch sports?
No
Do you watch Netflix?
No
Party?
No
Why?
Because when you're working on getting rich, you don't have time for all that crap
So you don't do ANY entertainment at all?
FUCK OFF, LOSER
Yes I live alone, and no I don't booze on the weekends
Not because I don't think it's fun (it is) or is bad for health, but because I can't afford to be unproductive even for an hour, much less a few
If you can afford it, you must already have built the life you wanted
News media is only as credible as your neighbor
You can believe them when they say there's a fire, because all can see fire. But anything else they'll say about the fire is likely false
80% of all news is gossip and fake
If you don't get this, you don't live in the reality
There's one political side who will hate you if you love your family, your people and your country
If you're on their side, you're not on the Right side
It is impossible to be non-judgemental. It's the OS. That's how humans make every decision
If you think you don't judge, you're delusional. It's another thing to *say* that you don't judge for varied reasons
But judge you always do
The best thing you will do for your children is tell them that you're confident they'll achieve great success in life, and they just have to figure out when and where
Tell them that every day
If you have a child, start today and thank me after 30 years
I will owe my success to all the shit people who gave me hard time and toughened me mentally, forcing me to work ever harder to escape their shit world
Gratitude, no matter what. All that happens is for good
Doctors are Gods. About 1% of them!
99% are corrupt. That's why I hate going to doctors. Every time I visit one and they ask me to do a useless (and costly) test from the lab they "recommend" (because they make money from that), I lose my faith in the entire medical system
I re...
They say: Truth offends
I say: Only truth offends
If it offends you, there is an element of truth in it. Decipher it, say thanks in your mind, and improve on it
Spend time with losers and you'll be a loser
Spend time with winners and you'll always be primed to win
You are the average of 5-10 people you spend most of you time amongst
Whether offline or online
Anyone who gained and lost a big belly is automatically a winner in my eyes regardless of their standing in other areas
If a man can lose a big belly, I'd bet he can't do too poorly in other areas
How to identify a loser -
He always has something external to himself to blame for his miseries
He always has a reason why he can't act right now
He has a pot belly
When you start learning something and you find that it's difficult, that should excite you rather than demotivate you
It is valuable BECAUSE it is difficult. The more difficult it is, the more rewarding it will be when you achieve it
Winners mindset
When you fail, your mind will trick you into blaming others or the circumstances for the failure
If you fall for that trick, you'll develop the victim mindset which will guarantee you'll stay down
Take ownership, recognize that it's always your fault, and act
It's not the pand...
Spend time only on activities from which you're gaining a skill, knowledge, or connection that you can leverage to make money - now or in the future
Unless and until you're rich, all time not spent in the above manner is time wasted
"What do you do for entertainment?"

If you want to evolve on a fast track, listen to @joerogan podcast
I won't say every episode is great, but listen to at least first 15 mins of each and every episode. There will be many that'll grip you till the end
Joe Rogan is a treasure
Asked a woman: Why do women want to wear a tank top (or short skirt) to office, if not to show skin and attract male attention
Her: Because it makes us feel comfortable, not to attract men
Me: Then why are men not ALLOWED to feel comfortable by wearing a tank top to office as w...
