Men,
Behind these gated homes are frustrated men.
Every morning you will meet them smiling inside their SUVs.
In the evening, they sit in their SUVs till late at night before sneaking into the house to warm their food and sleep like vagabonds.
Inside these gated houses are men in pain,
Men who wash their clothes, cook their food and live like pariahs.
Inside these gated houses are men who made wrong choices and ended up bearing the burden of the consequences.
Inside these gated houses, are tears, pain, regrets and frustrations.
Don't be gated. Remain WALLED.
Be the WALL!

4. Become someone who enjoys doing hard things.
Before Government Touches SACCOs, Kenyans Must Confirm Their Money Exists
The SACCO debate should now move from noise to a hard public audit, because any serious withdrawal pressure would stretch the system and expose which societies are genuinely liquid and which ones are just beautiful buildings, large membership numbers, fake asset values and cooked confidence.
Some SACCOs valued at billions may look strong on paper, yet the real money could be tied up in bad loans, insider borrowing, land games, fake collateral, politically protected defaulters, related party deals and management theft that members only discover when they ask for their money.
That is why government eyeing SACCO savings is dangerous, because it will not just touch private money, it may expose a sector where some societies have been surviving on trust, payroll deductions, member patience and the assumption that everyone will never ask for cash at the same time.
Kenyans do not need a blind panic run that punishes innocent members first, but they need a proper stress test where every major SACCO shows its liquidity, loan book, insider lending, bad debts, cash position, government exposure and ability to pay members without stories.
If SACCO money is now being discussed as infrastructure money, then SACCO members have every right to ask whether their savings are really there, whether managers have looted, whether loans were given to friends, and whether the billions announced every year are cash or just accounting perfume.
The real test should not be chaos at counters, since the real test should be public numbers, regulator pressure, audited books, named weak SACCOs and proof that members’ money is not already gone before government arrives to borrow the corpse.
Men,
Sexual energy is powerful.
But energy without direction becomes destruction.
Build something:
• Learn a skill.
• Read a book.
• Start a business.
• Train your body.
The goal is not just to avoid pleasure,
The goal is to CREATE VALUE.

Elon Musk once said:
“Stop being patient and start asking yourself: How can I accomplish my 10 year plan in 6 months? You will probably fail, but you'll be far ahead of the person who simply accepted it would take 10 years.”
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
