"Until death, all defeat is psychological." - Marcus Aurelius

Refuse everything that would lead most people to give up.

Refuse it.
Rise from the dead 1000 times.
Commit to never stay down & never give up.
Everything you want is on the other side of struggle.

Mindset of a guy who bootstrapped to a billion a year, w a sweatshirt brand

It's like adam neumann - through sheer force of will and self belief, this guy just relentlessly started putting dents into the universe until it gave him what he wanted

"Try that shit on someone else"

@aristomarinetti Hey @grok, what does he mean by the post?

[𖣂JIK𖣂 @OS3992]

Don’t talk about negative things, because the more you speak of them, the more power you give them. Speak of hope, speak of strength, speak of possibility what you focus on, grows.

The current anti-Indian sentiment in America is nothing new. It’s a tired, recycled view. And as history shows, always a losing argument.

Portrayed as drunkards and troublemakers and racially inferior.
“No Irish Need Apply.”

Anti-Chinese
1870s–1880s
Viewed as job-stealers and blamed for economic woes, called a “Yellow Peril”
“Not a Chinaman’s chance.”

Anti-Jewish
Late 19th to mid-20th century
Stereotyped as greedy, controlling finance
"Gentiles only."

Anti-Italian
1900s–1920s Dismissed as anarchists, criminals, or racially “unfit”
“Wops, go home!”

Anti-German
1917–1918
Suspected of espionage and branded as enemies
“Don’t speak the Hun’s tongue!”

Anti-Mexican
1930s–1950, 2020s
Blamed for economic competition and social unrest
“Go back to Mexico”

Anti-Japanese
1940s
Deemed disloyal
"A Jap's a Jap"

Anti-Southeast Asian (Vietnamese, Cambodian, etc.)

Today everyone is praising shami but it was not easy for him to reach at this stage.

It became possible due to 3 secular person in his life

-Mamta Banerjee
- SRK
- Virat Kohli

- When shami didn’t get the chance to play in Ranji trophy for Uttar Pradesh, it was Mamta Banerjee who invited him to play for West Bengal

- When no one bought shami in IPL, it was SRK who bought shami in 2012 for KKR and gave him chance in IPL.

- When RW ab**ed shami and called him anti national, it was Kohli who stood for him and gave him support and strength.

Shami has shown that Secularism is a way forward for anyone’s individual success or success of a country.
