We started watching this film and I had such a visceral reaction that it motivated me to lock in and finish some business tasks because there's no way Kevin Hart can be successful in this life and I'm there just watching like a mug.
One of the worst films on Netflix.
@Ol0ye And his main point is that, whatever is the history or current reality of what's happening in Argentina should not be used to guilt-trip or villainise black people who love Messi and have chosen to support him, and by extension, the Argentine football national team he captains.
@Ol0ye Guilt-tripping black people who decide to support Messi and the Argentine football national team beacuse of the history of ethnic cleansing in Argentina is performative bullshit; especially when we can find history of black people carrying ethnic cleansing on fellow black people.
People who admire celebrities to the extent that they are offended personally when they are criticised, need to re-assess their priorities pretty drastically. You should not be offended on behalf of someone who does not know you exist, unless it is a serious world/moral matter.
you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.
I have a theory about this.
weโre inherently made to give our all for someone or for the โgreater goodโ.
When he says, โWeโre gonna give everything to make sure Messi wins the World Cup again,โ
Itโs not even about him. Itโs about giving his all so that his idol, and greatest player in history can become more greater. This is one of the most powerful motivators in us.
Anyone who accomplishes anything truly worthwhile usually does it for something beyond themselves.
A parent sacrifices for their children. A soldier fights for their country.
For example, I want to become the most successful version of myself for the sake of my family. That purpose pulls more out of me than chasing success for myself ever could.
The devilโs first trick is to make you selfish. Because the moment life becomes all about you, your comfort, your status, your happiness, youโll always find a reason to settle for less than youโre capable of.
The greatest achievements are borne from devotion to something greater than yourself.
A key thing Iโve learnt: there comes a point where you need to have strong conviction from previous pattern recognition and it outweighs sample size. And this conviction is why successful people are often early.
