The reality is that; if we fail, it will be assumed (taken that) we never tried.

Buying Land Is NOT the ONLY Way Into Real Estate 🧵

If you ask most people about investing in real estate, the answer is LAND OWNERSHIP.

For many people, land ownership is the starting point of thinking about wealth creation through real estate. In a lot of cases, it has actually worked. Over time, property has created value for individuals and families across different generations. But when you look at it closely, the journey is not always as simple as it sounds. @trificsez

My father used to tell us “ũkũrũ ũrììaga ũniini. Keenyū na keenyũ cioyanagìra nda”
Not a direct translation but it goes with delayed gratification and the discipline of saving

Once you make your first real money,

The rest is easy.

Most Kenyans keep their savings in a money market fund and call it "investing."

There's nothing wrong with that, but if you want real wealth building, you need to own a piece of Kenyan businesses.

Here's how to build a serious stock portfolio on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. 🧵

David Goggins: "It's so easy to be great nowadays because most people are weak"

"People need purpose to perform. But you need to get to a point in your life where there's nothing on the docket, no race, no classes, no nothing and still perform to the highest level. Because one day, that thing's going to come up. And if you're not constantly performing without purpose, you're not going to be ready when the time comes."

Goggins explains the real purpose:

"We're all looking for this magical thing called purpose. But what's funny is the purpose never leaves us. Because the very purpose is you. You are always the purpose. If you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself. That's what you need to research. The number one purpose in life is to better oneself. That's the only purpose I need."

On what gets him out of bed:

"I know every other person ain't gonna do what I'm gonna do. That's how you level up. That fires me up. That makes me happy. There are so many people with ability who refuse to get off that couch. Refuse to study a few more hours. Refuse to go deeper, go further. That's where I gain the advantage."

Goggins continues:

"It's so easy to be great nowadays because most people are weak. Most people don't want to go that extra mile. Most people don't want to find that extra because it sucks. It's miserable. It's lonely. I used to hate that loneliness growing up. Now I thrive in it. That's the only place to be."

On how to stop feeling sorry for yourself:

"You have to want it. You have to want to be better. And it starts with this: you have to have pride in yourself. If you have no pride in yourself, I can't give it to you. Because you're always going to compromise. You're always going to fold. Always."

Goggins shares how he holds himself accountable:

"Every place I went in the military, there was this ethos about how we're going to live, how we're going to represent ourselves. I made one for myself on how I want to be. If people can make up a mission statement, an ethos they want to live by, and every morning wake up and hold themselves accountable to that mission, not a company's mission, your own, now you can work with somebody to get better. But until you know what you want to stand for, you will always just be sitting down. You'll never stand for anything."

He concludes with his definition of "Roger that":

"Received orders given. Expect results. Above and beyond. More than was expected. That's what Roger that means to me."

WHAT IS A SEXY HOBBY?

If you're not sure if your hobby is a sexy hobby or a dorky hobby, here's a simple way to find out:

1-Find an attractive woman, she could be a friend
2-Tell her about your hobby and show her examples of your hobby and your achievement level
3-If her eyes light up, that's good
4-If her eyes get dull, that's bad
5-Repeat this ten times with ten attractive women, and you will start to get a good sense if your hobby is sexy or dorky

SEXY HOBBY 101
If your hobby has a reputation for being cool, artistic/sensual, physically dangerous, or highly sociable, then it's probably a sexy hobby

If your hobby requires courage, grit, strength and skill in the real world, it's probably a sexy hobby

Examples: surfing, beach volleyball, guitar, piano, dancing, singing, DJ, tennis, skiing, boxing, MMA, photography, painting, hiking, hunting, camping, flying a plane, riding a motorcycle, rock climbing, sailing, bartending, cooking, dinner party host, party promoter

DORKY HOBBY 101
If your hobby only requires that you collect objects in a passive way, then it's probably a dorky hobby. Examples: collecting coins, stamps, comic books

If your hobby only requires that you learn arcane/trivial facts in a passive way, then it's probably a dorky hobby. Examples: being a Civil War buff, being a Trekkie

If your hobby doesn't require you to actually do anything, if you can just be a spectator, then it's probably a dorky hobby. Example: watching sports

If your hobby doesn't require you to get off your sofa, then it's probably a dorky hobby. Example: playing video games

DO YOU HAVE A SEXY HOBBY, RIVELINO?
My sexy hobby is photography, with my main focus being sensual elegant black & white photos of women. Becoming a visual artist has changed my life even more than Twitter. The more I invest in my art, the more interesting and fascinating I become to women. All the high quality girls I've dated were impressed by my photos and loved that I was an artist

GET A SEXY HOBBY
It's never too late to get a sexy hobby! Not only will you impress women with your sexy hobby, you will challenge yourself, improve yourself, and have more passion, energy and joy for life

Rivelino cares 💚

In 2026, may givers find givers.
Givers too deserve people looking after them (their good deeds reciprocated).
