Once you start noticing a receding hairline at the earliest stage, get castor oil and rosemary oil. Mix 15 drops of castor oil with 1 drop of rosemary oil in your palm, then massage it into your scalp consistently. It will save you from breaking the bank trying to restore your hairline later.

I've restored my hairline twice. My dad was already bald at an age younger than I am now, yet my hair is full and my hairline is sharp.

For a proper scalp massage tutorial, search for Austin Goh's scalp massage video on YouTube.

You're welcome.

A man doesn't necessarily have to say "I am sorry" to his woman.

That's how men are built.

Men apologise more in their actions than in words.

It's left for you as a woman to spot it when he's apologizing.

If you keep waiting for "I am sorry", you may wait in vain.

End.

I was randomly thinking about this Riquelme guy, and how he said he was gonna sign Haaland if he wins😭

He wanted to use Florentino Perez’ playbook on him😂😂

In year 2000, Perez told the Real Madrid socios to vote for him for president, that if he wins, he’ll sign Luis Figo😂

You know the crazy part? The sitting president had won two champions league in 3 years. In fact, they just won a champions league, he was successful. You wonder how Perez was going to unseat him 😂

Figo was the best player in the world, in fact, he won BDOR later that year, and he was a Barcelona player. Perez had to look for something to say to convince people to vote him and not vote a successful president.

Then he came up with a masterplan, he said if he wins the election, he’ll sign Figo. In fact, he said the best players ought to be playing for Real Madrid and he’ll bring them here, that was the start of the Galacticos era (Zidane, Delima, Beckham, etc joined after Figo…up till Cristiano, Kaka, Mbappe…till date, Perez has kept that word).

Signing Figo was an impossible feat. Figo was a Barcelona player, it’s impossible…and Figo had a release clause of 60m. No player has ever been signed for that amount. Record sale was Christian Vieri for £30 to Inter Milan.

Figo loved Barcelona, he was a god there, how will Perez convince him to sign? No top Barcelona player should move to Real Madrid. If you want to understand better, think of Messi in his prime going to Real Madrid, exactly!!!

First thing Perez did was call Paulo Futre who was a friend to Figo. He told him the plan, Futre then got in touch with Figo’s agent, Jose Veiga.

FP promised them some mad money, he said if they can make the deal happen, Futre will get 1.5m euros and Veiga will get 3m euros, which they eventually both got.

Futre was also the reason Veiga got up to that amount, because he lied to Perez that Veiga wanted more money as agent commission😅, he didn’t only lie to Perez, he lied to Figo’s agent and deceived him to sign a pre-contract.

Veiga couldn’t resist that money, Figo will also be paid x4 of the wages he was earning at Barcelona. Veiga was desperate for Figo to join. Figo did not sign any pre-contract, it was his agent, Veiga…Veiga claimed he got a go ahead from Figo to sign it, but Figo denied it.

This is where it gets crazy, the pre-contract agreement that Veiga signed on behalf of Figo had a clause. Gosh Perez is crazy. Perez included a clause that if he wins the presidency, and Figo doesn’t come to Madrid, Figo/Veiga will pay him 30m euros😂😂😂, and Veiga signed it.

When Veiga told Figo about Madrid’s interest, Figo told him to meet Barcelona’s hierarchy to tell them about the fact that a club (no mention of Real Madrid) was willing to pay off his release clause, but he doesn’t want to leave Barcelona, so they should improve his contract.

Gaspert was Vice President of Barcelona then, and was contesting for presidency too. He called whatever Veiga told him a bluff, no one could pay that release clause, they also just improved Figo’s contract a year before, so he felt Figo was greedy.

Anyways, the media started the rumour, it’s one of the craziest saga in football history. Figo was the biggest player in the world, everywhere went crazy. They would capture Figo’s agent in meetings with Perez, they would monitor Figo everywhere. Real Madrid players like Roberto Carlos and Hierro said they never believed it was going to happen.

Figo felt under-appreciated because the hierarchy weren’t taking him seriously, but he still didn’t want to leave.

Perez had now won the election. Figo said he’s not leaving Barcelona. Perez then asked Veiga to pay the 30m😂

Veiga almost ran mad, where would he get that money? Figo didn’t care, he wasn’t the one that signed the pre-contract. Veiga had to beg Figo to please go to Madrid, or if he wasn’t gonna go, can he just have a meeting with Perez to just talk things out.

Figo decided to meet with Perez, who convinced👇🏽

Sometimes the simplest foods provide the biggest health benefits. 🌱

From heart-healthy almonds and brain-boosting walnuts to digestion-friendly flax seeds and immunity-supporting pumpkin seeds, nature offers powerful nutrition in every handful.

Small daily choices add up over time. Nourish your body, support your health goals, and let food be your foundation for a healthier, stronger life.

Overwhelmingly true.

2 things to say:

1. Some of you will naturally have the ability to handle high stress situations, and won't realise this until you find yourself in them w/ the competence to match it.

A lot of you work jobs that are too easy for you.

- You perform worse at "easy" jobs & it decreases your overall confidence and self esteem.

- You wonder why you're not doing well at something that doesn't seem traditionally difficult.

- You assume because you struggle w/ something simple, you'd be incapable of doing anything 'harder' – and incorrectly accept this to be your functioning level.

It is not.

Environment is everything for you.
You expand or shrink more readily than others.

Counterintuitively: your life, wealth, confidence, and wellbeing drastically improve once you commit to doing something more challenging.

Others are built to survive in the mundane. But this is not acceptable for you. Entire body rejects it.

Your vision is blurry until you fix your gaze upwards.

2. I said I'm going to make the effort to directly recommend accounts w/ good non-slop content for you to follow as opposed to just reposting or QTing them.

SovereignIM is one of them. Recommended follow.

If a goal makes you anxious, break it down until today knows exactly what to do. A five-year ambition is useless if this afternoon still feels vague. Build a descending ladder: the big objective, the next milestone, the weekly target, the move you can finish before sleep.

Give a man free sex, entertainment, and comfort, and he’ll forget his goals.

Give him pain and heartbreak, and he’ll feel like conquering the world.

Dear bro, hard times are a blessing, not a curse.

The next time you ask for help, remove your need from the center of the request. Do not tell people why this matters to you. Tell them exactly where it serves their interest, saves their time, protects their position, or increases their gain. People do not move because your reasons feel sincere. They move when the deal becomes visible from their side.

The amount of respect you command is a direct byproduct of how high functioning you are, for high stress tolerance commands respect where low stress tolerance undermines it.

In simple terms: if you can outwardly handle stress with greater composure than others, you will naturally command more respect than they do. Respect thus accrues not as a conscious decision, but as an instinctive response to your conduct.

People will subconsciously evaluate your competence, placing you into one of two categories: asset or liability. If you are consistently steady under pressure and difficult to unsettle, you are deemed an operational asset, but if you collapse emotionally, offend easily, or routinely punish others for telling hard or sensitive truths, you will flag as a liability.

Respect and authority flows to those who are deemed assets. Would you want a leader with poor stress tolerance who is prone to outbursts, collapse or destabilisation? Of course not. That would unsettle you. You would prefer someone who remains poised under pressure, because you would feel safer with someone with an exceptional capacity to metabolise stress even beyond what is objectively healthy or humane. Leadership as such gravitates to those who are able to bear more than their fair share of stress, not to those who impose their emotional turbulence on to others the very moment they are subjected to it.

You seek someone unnaturally strong, who is capable of carrying not just their own burdens, but likewise yours. But you are neither unique or alone in holding that preference, for it is the underlying mechanism which determines how people intuitively designate leaders. To desire authority over others whilst being a source of emotional turbulence is thus not just naive, but incredibly immature. Authority necessarily then gravitates to those who serve the most stabilising function, because when it is given to the incapable, it results in dysfunction and tyranny.

High functioning individuals inspire trust, because they manage destabilising, urgent, or sensitive information without unravelling. Low functioning individuals erode trust, because they amplify chaos, crumble under pressure, and turn urgent or sensitive matters into liabilities, thereby imposing burdens which others are forced to carry in their place.

This is why if you want a relationship built on full and clear mutual transparency, you must be able to bear the costs of what you ask for. Both sides must be capable of absorbing shocks, disappointments, conflicts, and unpleasant truths without collapsing into hysteria or destructive anarchy. Respect simply is not owed, but earned. You are not entitled to what you have not proven you can endure, for it is the weight you are unable to carry that will define the limits of what others can trust you with.

I cannot stress this enough: be you man or woman, when you find someone who is *TRULY GREAT* you must obsess over them and lock them down. This is not desperation in so much as it is recognition. Do not let a beautiful soul pass you by. Tether yourselves to each other.

Reading should be a habit that's instilled from a young age, as should standing up for justice. They are both very good things. You want your courageous people to be thinking people, and your thinking people to be courageous. Integrating multiple archetypes is truly imperative.

Vanity will make you choose the impressive task over the important one. You will polish what people can see, avoid what exposes incompetence, and call it ambition. Many men never become great because they are too proud to be seen at the beginner stage.

Her rules are for men she doesn't love, because she has none for the man she does.

A woman's rules are self-protective roadblocks against men she does not respect or desire from making her do things she doesn't want to do.

For the man she loves, there are no such roadblocks.
