When the Romans conquered a foreign land, they commemorated the victory by adding the name of that land to the victor’s own. Thus, when Lucius Aemilius Paullus conquered Macedonia, he became Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus. It was conquest immortalized in a name. I often find myself thinking about the many boobs I have conquered in my own rather short life. I may not be a Caesar or a Hernan Cortes, but I, too, have laid claim to a respectable number of mammary provinces. It makes me wonder whether, by Roman custom, I ought now to be known as Lukas Mammicus—conqueror of the great mammary dominions.
I hope you see how there is a hierarchy of competence in this world? Norway celebrates getting to the quarter finals. If France goes out in the semis, they’d consider this campaign a failure.
Know where you are in life at the moment and play accordingly. Don’t compare yourself to anyone.
Dear young men,
Especially those of you between the ages of 27-33 and are still single.
This is how you know that you may have found your wife:
1. She's highly interested in what you do legitimately for a living, actively trying to encourage you to build your career or business, and always looking out for other opportunities for you.
2. If you live alone, she takes initiatives without being told by observing your home and trying to buy things she knows you need to live a better life in preparation for marriage.
3. She will hardly ask you for money, not because she doesn't need it, but because it's easy for her to get money from other men. And she knows that taking money from other men is an "invitation to treat", and can destroy her relationship with you. And she wouldn't want to make you feel that she's with you for your money, too.
4. When you give her money to do certain things, either for you or for her, she'll try to give you an account of how she spent the money.
5. She keeps boundaries with your friends and doesn't try to compare you with them. Rather, she would look out for that friend whom she observes has your best interests at heart, and encourage you to stay close to him.
6. She will not use sex as a weapon in the relationship, neither would she use it as a bargaining chip.
7. She actively gives you updates on how her day went, and she doesn't come to your house with her phone on silent mode or airplane mode.
8. She will try to abide by how you like her to dress, and she'll listen to you when you caution her about certain behavior that you do not like.
9. She'll actively want you to know her siblings and show interest in and respect for your siblings as well.
10. She'll not hold back if you ask her to lend you money, if she has it. But you, the man, must keep to your words when paying her back.
11. She'll bend many rules for you, but you should not take undue advantage of it.
12. She'll stress you sometimes, and test you in as many ways as possible. She's doing all that to see how well you can lead her, and how well you can control your emotions or anger.
13. She'll make mistakes. But you should use it as a teaching moment for her. If you don't judge her too harshly, she'll start to listen to you more. When you make a woman trust you with her vulnerability, she'll overlook some of your excesses.
14. She'll actively seek your validation and yours alone; whatever you say is good for her, she will accept it. And she won't care what the world says or feels about her.
15. She will not force you to be religious, but she will actively observe whether you respect God, because a man without God may not be a good leader.
If you have a lady that can do at least 10 out of the 15, you may have found your wife.
And remember, when you choose your wife, you have chosen your destiny.
End.

Enjoy sharing knowledge and experience.
Twitter is just the current platform.

I made something for everyone today.
Not just for entry level jobs. For every level.
From your very first job, to top jobs like CEO.
I noticed something. Most people don’t get replies after their job applications because they don’t know what to say when they reach out.
So I put together real messages you can copy and send.
Inside, you will find:
Messages for customer service jobs, virtual assistant jobs, social media manager jobs, sales and every role you can think of including C suite jobs.
That’s not all. I also added what to say after you apply and hear nothing.
What to say after your interview, to say thank you the right way.
And what to say if they go quiet on you for weeks.
All you need to do is copy the one that fits you. Change the small brackets to your own story. Then send it.

Mikel: “Is it true you made £150 million during your 8 years in China?”
Oscar: “I put my entire salary into a separate account and never touched it once. My family and I lived off the match bonuses because they were already huge.”
Norway's youth sports model is super unique:
• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year
The result?
A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).
And it's not just winter sports...
Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).
So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

One of the ways that you show love to your wife is by paying her back the debt which you owe her.
When it comes to finances in the home, your wife is naturally not supposed to participate in it.
But we know the economy is tough and women also work and earn.
You as a man and her husband should not let that stop you from doing what you're naturally supposed to do.
If you can't pay her all of it, pay in parts.
Always have at the back of your mind that you're more likely to die before your wife.
And when you're gone, your wife will take over, raise your children, and handle the finances. Even if you die without any tangible estate or inheritance.
She will not follow you to the grave, and life must go on.
If your wife earns money, be grateful to God for that, because you can always rely on her when you're down financially.
Relying on your wife is not the same as depending on your wife for survival.
However, you don't allow it to get to your head.
If you relax because your wife is helping you financially, sooner or later, you may see disrespect and possible cheating.
Because according to you, both of you are one.
Yes, you're one but both of you have different roles to play in the marriage.
She cannot be playing her roles and playing yours as well and you expect her to be happy.
Pay your wife the debt you owe her, and maintain your respect and submission.
Do all you can to preserve your source of livelihood and don't take unnecessary risks simply because you think your wife got your back.
And the truth is, you'll always owe your wife.
Even when you die.
End.
