Undisciplined work is just a slow drain on your time and energy.
True progress only comes from disciplined, focused effort.
Consistency and discipline are the non-negotiable keys to real success.
Without them, everything you do becomes pure waste.
THE LAST MAN.
Friedrich Nietzsche, in his seminal writings, warned of a creature he despised: "the last man."
The last man is a small, comfortable man ruled by little pleasures, and too soft to aim at anything higher.
The last man, also known as THE LUST MAN, wants his pleasure for the day and his pleasure for the night, and then calls it happiness.
Greed and lust never look like chains at first. They look like reward.
By the time a man notices, the appetite becomes his master, and he becomes the servant.
Nietzsche said sensual lust is a slow fire that burns the weak.
The female demon of passion is known as Lilith.
A man who overcomes the demons of lust, greed and gluttony has solved 90% of his troubles.
For many who watched this video, it was a warning from the future.

One of the most raw encounters I’ve ever had.

Fredrick Nietzsche wrote a lot about man and his desires, shadows and dreams.
He also wrote about PLEASURE.
However, he did not tell men to kill their desires. He told them to command them.
A drive you cannot control does not stay quiet. It grows, it takes the throne, and soon it will be giving you orders while you obey.
Lust and greed promise you power and hand you a leash into slavery. Example:
• Prostitution
• Porn
• Masturbation
Every man ruled by his appetites is owned by whoever controls them.
Nietzsche called the highest act self-overcoming: the man who masters himself is the only one no one else can master.
Rule the pleasure, or the pleasure will rule you.

This song is called Tres impoli (You are impolite) by Franco Makiadi, the leader of TPOK Jazz.
The song is 42 years old. It was recorded in 1984 in Gabon.
It is about an impolite, mannerless man.
The truth about this song is that Franco was impatient with a band member called Papa Ndombe Opetum, whom he sent to police remand for stealing a piece of meat.
Opetum was a stubborn, mannerless band member who, whenever he was sent to buy meat, sliced a portion for himself.
In fact, one of the songs composed for him by Simaro Lutumba, called Mbongo (Money), was later recorded by another obedient member, Djo Mpoyi, because Opetum had misbehaved.
When he sliced Franco's meat, Franco called the police on him. After staying in remand for 2 weeks, Opetum took off and rejoined Tabu Ley's band, Afrisa International.
He is seen here with Tabu Ley's band in a London Live concert, dancing like a comedian in Beyou Ciel's song Embouroumounkoue at 0:04 - 0:08 (https://t.co/isiWn6836M)
It is after Opetum left that Franco composed this song, Tres Impoli (Why are you impolite?)
My favourite verse in the song: 3:25
Chaussette etoboka - (Your socks are torn.)
Okoti na ndako ya bato oti makolo na mesa. Nzoka ezali mesa bato ba lelaka. - (You enter someone’s house and put your legs on the table. Yet people use that table to eat.)
This was Opetum's character.
Later, in 1988, when Franco was sick in Belgium, Opetum sneaked back to TPOK, where he composed two hits, ANGELA and TAWABA (https://t.co/aolQYdYCAe.)
Opetum collapsed and died in Kinshasa on 24th May 2012, aged 68 years.
