19 years old Ronaldo (still unknown and haven't achieved anything) said he's the best player in the world and you think he would suddenly change and say someone else is the best player in the world after he have achieved that status.
Sold all my properties, and kept the proceeds from it in a joint account with my then babe when we both finished Uni.
I sold them because I didn't know what the place to go, plus I don't like moving around with loads.
On the norms, it was sure that life would be okay for both of us.
But...
I kept the money so we don't depend on parents for little things like applications and transportation for interviews.
And to continue dropping a portion of our salaries when we eventually get a placement.
She was lucky to get a placement where she was earning 160k+ monthly.
While I stayed 5 months extra without a place.
Within these 5 months, I was working in a place where I was paid 30k per month.
In the joint account, I accessed it with USSD and got alerts via email.
While she accessed it through the app, and got alerts via text.
As soon as she calculated that my money had finished in the account, she denied me access to the account.
Yeah, think and assume all you want to assume.
But I did absolutely nothing.
And not for once did I expect that she could do something like that.
I got to know when I needed to borrow money from the account, reached out, and she gave me the go-ahead.
But was continually bounced back.
Within one year, she pleaded that we redo it after she saw that I could make her entire 6 months' salary in 1 month.
And I want to say this:
The day a woman stops seeing you as a leader is the day you stop being that man.
Especially in the core areas where a man is meant to lead.
Chris Hemsworth took a blood test as a stunt for a TV show. The results said he is 8 to 10 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Every workout he has posted since is a brain protection protocol disguised as a fitness video.
The test was for Limitless in 2022. The plan was to reveal his results on camera. Peter Attia, the longevity doctor running the bloodwork, saw two copies of the APOE4 gene, called the director, and refused to say it on film.
Two copies is rare, about 1 in 50 people. One copy is common: roughly 1 in 4 carry it, and most never find out because almost nobody tests.
So he rebuilt the routine. Less heavy lifting, more endurance and cardio, because cardiovascular fitness is one of the strongest levers an APOE4 carrier can pull against cognitive decline. He started learning an instrument with Ed Sheeran because new skill acquisition builds cognitive reserve. He added deliberate solitude because chronic stress accelerates the exact pathology he is racing.
His grandfather had Alzheimer's. He watched it happen. Then a camera crew handed him the genetic receipt.
The man with the most photographed body on earth is training for the one organ nobody can see.
