If you find some reason NOT to hold INEC to these standards, please remove yourself from my space. You are NOT worthy of a nanosecond of my time. It is that simple.

[What Men Should Know @menlearnthis]

Friends that are “yes” men to even your bad habits, poor lifestyle choices, and only talk about sex, girls, alcohol, or partying should be dropped at all costs.

You need a band of brothers that force you to level up and live a good life of constant improvements.
