@EricSon0181 @PatsonKanengoni This maybe true but give us the alternative and let the people decide! People who criticize with no solution are also idiots.

Welcome to South Africa where Kelly Khumalo 3 baby daddies, calls men broke and trash is celebrated as being strong and independent, While Nandi Madida who’s married, one father of her children, calls for men to be treated with respect and supported) gets dragged all week !

Defiance: Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic is my favorite athlete. Not my favorite tennis player, my favorite athlete, period.

What he did against Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open semifinal is the clearest example of why.

Djokovic confronted a matchup that had already turned structural, where the patterns were clear, the margins were shrinking, and where Sinner had control, and chose to dismantle it anyway.

At 38 years old.

And after losing the first set, there was no hesitation and no extended recalibration. Djokovic instead raised his level, accepted risk without waiting for comfort, went full force, and never let the match breathe.

This was a plan executed at full commitment. You could see the effect on Sinner as the match went on, the frustration building as Novak continued to deny him, forcing him to play from discomfort rather than control.

What separates Djokovic has never been popularity or aesthetics, but his willingness to interrogate his own limits and change accordingly because he doesn’t cling to old versions of himself. He audits them.

Djokovic is ruthless with inefficiency and humble enough to rebuild when the game demands it. Every phase of his career has been defined by reinvention through discipline rather than shortcuts, and this match was another chapter in that pattern.

Edge doesn’t disappear with age when adaptation stays ahead of the problem.

Watching him solve this puzzle in real time, against the version of Sinner that had given him the most trouble, was one of the most remarkable performances I have ever seen.

That was defiance. That is why Novak Djokovic is my favorite athlete.

Tomorrow is the Australian men's final. Tennis was invented by Whites, as almost every other sport. It is the most sophisticated athletic contest.

It has the most intricate, multi-layered scoring system: points, games, sets, and matches. A player must win points (15, 30, 40, game) to secure a game, at least six games (with a two-game lead) to win a set, and two or three sets to claim the match.

The deuce and advantage rule adds complexity. At 40-40, a player must win two consecutive points to win the game, creating intense pressure points.

Tiebreakers demand elevation of play under high pressure. This system generates constant pressure points: break point, set point, or match point can be decided by a single shot.

A player can dominate points but lose a set by faltering under these pressure points. Djokovic is the master of pressure points.

Tennis requires mastery of diverse shots: serves, volleys, groundstrokes, lobs, drop shots, and spins.

MORE THAN ANY OTHER SPORT, it demands a combination of speed, endurance, strength, agility, coordination, precision, and mental toughness.

Unlike other sports, tennis features surface variation that adds complexity: clay rewards endurance and topspin, grass favors speed and serve, and hard courts demand balance.

@matigary @Zimra_11 The question rather should be. Is the person doing the donations paying proper taxes?

[Lionel @be_lio_nel]

@LynneStactia So you want her to lose her job for a party she does not support and does not put food on the table over some voting process she had no control over, apart from reporting as is.

Lets be fair Lynn, she has been Zanu thru and thru and she made that clear.

Being MARRIED or COMMITTED to one person is a beautiful thing. Don't let these folks tell you a lie. Ain't nothing better then having a soulmate, bestfriend, lover and protector.

Tonight it finally clicked for me.

Neo asks her the classic question:
“If you already know what I’m going to do… do I really have a choice?”

And she hits him with the line:
“You’ve already made the choice. You’re just here to understand why.”

For years I thought this meant “there’s no free will.” But that’s not it.

Here’s the real insight:

Free will doesn’t exist in the moment.

It exists in the identity that leads to the moment.

The actions you take right now?
They’re mostly automatic - shaped by your conditioning, experiences, fears, habits, and past.

But the person you’re becoming?
That’s where your freedom actually lives.

You don’t choose the moment.
You choose the man who will meet the moment.

Or put in another way:

Determinism writes the past.

Identity writes the future.

Because when your life isn’t where you want it to be, the answer isn’t “make better choices.” The answer is: become the version of yourself who makes better choices automatically.

That’s the real red pill.

@OkaPhusisa @freemanchari Lessons from "The Art of War":
When the enemy is united, divide them; when divided, make use of their divisions.

A wise general does not fight every enemy at once. He turns rivals into allies until the greater foe is fallen.

@chinafutureclub @manly_mentor Someone with a sound mind. People bought houses back when they were affordable, not because they were rich. Same houses are no longer affordable and hence why people call them rich

@BALUCIAGA This is not new. Most cough syrups are no longer effective as they used to be as what they sell now is overly diluted! Another example of shrinkflation

@Jayysein Why is this even a question?

@hlovo_ Other societies succeed because they pull each other up, a society built on "self" will not last long.

Some of us cannot enjoy our BMWs knowing very well our family has no food on the table. This is diff from funding luxuries!
