Never reveal disappointment before deciding what you will do with it. Visible frustration tells people which outcome you wanted, how badly you wanted it, and how much pressure the loss created.
This is something not many people understand.
If you want to escape 9-5, you are going to have to show exceptional level of competency and industriousness in your 9-5.
You can't escape 9-5 by hating your 9-5.
You need to remain unemotional, detached and give your 100% in your 9-5,
Then go home and work on your side project that will help you escape your job.
Men who hate 9-5 and justify their complacency by saying its a slave job, are in actual fact,
pathetic and incompetent.
You will never get anywhere in life if you operate at your 'ideal' capacity.
You will never get anywhere with an attitude of "9-5 is slave work that makes the boss rich".
Enter your 9-5 with an attitude of "how can I increase the business revenue"
and watch yourself grow.
Every man needs to be feared & respected.
Prerequisite for a leader.
Being feared and respected is very different to solely being feared.
And being respected without the element of being feared will never let you elicit the survival instincts in people,
necessary to lead them effectively.
When the two co-exist, it creates a synergy that constitutes a large part of what makes up leadership.
Leadership cannot exist without this synergy. Most men opt to being feared, because it is very difficult to be respected at the same time.
Here's how you attain both.
If you want to be feared, you need to first have your life sorted. You need have a purpose.
You need to know where you are, where you want to be, and a direction of how to get there.
Then you need to devote yourself to it and become unavailable.
Then be very hard on yourself.
Men who are easy on themselves but hard on others are weak, complacent & hypocritical.
You must first be hard on yourself. Then expect the same of others.
This then allows you to cultivate intolerance, which is what upholds your values & incites fear in those who don't.
If you want to be respected, provide value for nothing in return.
Most men dont know how to do this. And if they do, they ask for something in return.
Yes, providing value should be exchanged, but only after you have proved yourself.
You have to provide first, frequently, without ulterior motives aside from putting the other person in a better state then you found them.
This is how respect is obtained. It is not given. It is not demanded.
It must be earned.
The combination of being unavaiable, helping people for nothing in return, while being intolerant to those without values,
is what makes a man feared and respected.
Each 3 elements MUST exist to evoke both responses:
-unavailability
-intolerance
-compassion
If you're too available, then you're not devoted to your purpose & therefore cannot be taken seriously.
If you are tolerant, then you lack values and stand for nothing.
If you lack compassion, then you are not fit to lead.
Work on all three. Be feared and respected.
My ability to make peace with any situation is unmatched. Didn't get that job? It was never mine. You don't want me? Someone will. That opportunity didn't work out? The next one will. I believe that everything happens for YOU not to you. ❤️
Most people demand honesty only when they believe it will benefit them. When truth threatens their ego, they suddenly prefer tact, timing, softness, and context. They don't want truth. Truth without proper placement becomes unnecessary self-harm.
The easiest way to trap a man is to make him proud of enduring what he should have left. Call his suffering loyalty, call his silence maturity, call his exploitation responsibility, and he will stay long after the arrangement has started feeding on him. Pride can become a leash.
Never accept pressure without authority. If people expect you to carry the consequence but deny you the right to shape the decision, they are not honoring your responsibility, they are renting your obedience. Responsibility without control is just exploitation.
Men,
