Game theory teaches that life is not about merit or fairness. It exposes that skills and knowledge are not always rewarded. Instead, positioning decides success: aligned incentives, pragmatic alliances, and potent strategies. That's what provides you the leverage you need. People fail because they're optimizing an ideal world, not a real environment.
A reminder from The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins:
“You have a beautiful and amazing life to live. You have potential beyond your imagination. You are not limited by where you live, or the circumstances you are facing, or the aspects of your life that you believe are limitations.
If you can be honest with yourself about what you truly want, and take responsibility for creating it, you will. You don't have to be special. You just have to get up every day, put one foot in front of the other, and work hard to do a little better, and be a little better, than you were yesterday. And one of these days, you are going to wake up and realize that you not only changed yourself, but you are in the middle of living the life you were once jealous of.”
A surprising amount of power comes from being hard to rush, hard to flatter, and hard to discourage. Once people realize they cannot speed up your judgment, buy your loyalty cheaply, or shake your direction with temporary pressure, they begin treating your unbending character as a lethal force not to be tampered with.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the world does not have much planned for your life. As a matter of fact, the world does not have anything meaningful planned for your life. The wealthy, the intelligent, the talented, love to monopolize human capital because that is how most of them view people. You are a means to an end on their chessboard.
They don’t want you to rise early. They don’t want you to maximize your time, energy, and focus outside of “working hours.” They don’t want you to develop the necessary skills that all but guarantee your success apart from them. They want you to believe that you are a member of their so-called “family,” a ridiculous euphemism corporately designed to trick you into believing they will never fire you the second the bottom line demands it, because, you know, “We are one big happy family!” You are “family,” until they decide to kick your ass to the curb. Simple as.
They want you to believe that your success is directly tied to their success. They want you to believe that it is only because of them that you are where you are in life, and without them, you simply wouldn’t make it very far. They don’t want you to create independence by pulling yourself out of financial slavery. They don’t want you working diligently to create more streams of income so you aren’t fully dependent on their paycheck. They want you fully dependent on them, and fearful that if you didn’t have them, you would be in a world of trouble. They want you playing in their game. They want you rising each morning serving their mission, their futures, their fortunes, their actual families, and their legacies.
I can literally feel the anger rising in my chest as I write this. Do you feel it in your chests, brothers? Now do something productive with that anger.
Warren Buffett: "[Charlie Munger] has been the person, subsequent to my dad, that I didn't want to disappoint. It's good to have somebody in your life you don't want to disappoint. It's enormously important. It makes you a better person."

Afternoon: 1 hour
Night: 1.5 hours.

You can waste ten years and still come out on top.
A life that took a decade to fall apart can be rebuilt in a few good months once you lock in.
Never give up. Never lose hope. Your time is coming. It always does for the ones who don't quit.
The fastest way to change your life is to rip yourself out of your (physical and digital) environment. Change everything overnight. The places you go, the accounts you follow, the info you consume, etc. It's difficult but it absolutely works.
@CENTCOM The US which preaches 'Human Rights' is amongst the most inhuman nations on the planet .
The US Navy fired on a commercial non military ship & killed 3 Indians.
They could have used non-lethal methods but no, they fired missiles,what else can you expect of a DEMONIC NATION!
