Arsenal fans spent 20 years waiting for revenge.
Football said:
"Cool. Let's use the same script."
2006 — Final lost.
2026 — Final lost.
And the decisive penalty was missed by Arsenal's number 6.
The universe wasn't even trying to be subtle anymore.
@wing4destiny Lol... What can he do?.... In case of nuclear war between the two, USA will survive but NK will be annihilated.... So, he should do his worst... Lol
I left a London nightclub with a pocket full of cash but regained consciousness five months later in a hospital.
That experience changed how I see life, money, and everything in between.
I used to work different roles in London nightclubs. Washing cups, cleaning floors, sometimes in the toilets (the “peke” shift), where you hand people perfume and smile for tips.
That was the coveted shift.
If you were friendly, you could go home with a good amount of tips.
I guarded my tips like treasure. That money helped me survive as a student.
Then, one night, everything changed.
I finished work… and ended up arrested.
I suffered a mental health crisis that kept me in the hospital for five months (Section 3 MHA).
For most of that time, I didn’t even know where I was.
When I finally read my medical report, I cried.
Page after page described my confusion, my silence, my brokenness.
When I got out, the world had moved on.
A different song was now No. 1 on the charts, and surprisingly, my phone had stopped ringing.
Upon discharge, a nurse handed me an envelope. Inside were the tips I guarded so tightly that night.
That was my Memento Mori moment.
The things you cling to the hardest are often the first to be taken from you.
We come into this world empty-handed.
And that is exactly how we will leave.
So, what are you gripping so hard today?
Money? Pride? Fear?
Let it go.
Keep it simple.
Pray. Try your best. Leave the rest to God.
You will die one day.
Your haters will, too.
So… what is the big deal?
If this spoke to you, share it. Someone out there needs the reminder.
I am rooting for you.
God bless you.
I share real stories about resilience, purpose, and life lessons they don't teach in school.
Follow for more insights on growing through what you go through.
Read this carefully. It might change how you see money and if you’re lucky, it might even teach you how to attract more of it.
It will also help you understand poverty and maybe, finally, break out of it.
I promise.
But first, a little history lesson so this makes sense. Let’s talk about how banks started.
Back in the day, just after trade by barter began to fade out, humans started transacting with gold.
It was simpler. Instead of arguing about how many chickens equal one goat, everyone agreed:
“You know what, let’s just use gold.”
So, two gold coins for your goat. Half a coin for my chicken.
But soon, a problem appeared.
Gold was heavy. Bulky. Dangerous to carry around because, well, thieves existed even then.
So as some hardworking people sold more goats and chickens and started collecting more gold, they had to find a way to keep it safe.
They began storing it in big houses guarded by men with swords.
Before long, they started telling their friends:
“Don’t keep your gold under your bed. Bring it to my storehouse and my guards will protect it for you.”
In return, they gave out receipts.
And if you traveled to another town or country, you could show that receipt to their partners there and collect the same amount of gold from their storehouse.
“But I won’t be traveling for months,” you’d say.
“No problem,” the banker would reply. “That receipt is proof that whenever you want your gold you’ll get it. You can even use it to collect gold elsewhere.”
And just like that, paper money was born.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting.
Let’s say you; Specimen A, deposit one bar of gold and get a receipt for it.
Then someone else comes to borrow gold. The banker says, “No need to move the gold. Take this receipt instead; it represents gold. Do your business and pay us back later.”
So now you have a receipt for your gold, and they have a receipt for the same gold.
One gold bar. Two receipts.
That’s how money became... infinite.
It’s all make-believe. The banks created this illusion centuries ago and they still play the same game today.
As time went on, kings began borrowing gold to fund wars. Some never paid it back because, well, they were kings.
So the bankers started forming alliances. One storehouse owner married another. When a king defaulted, they’d fund an army of mercenaries to attack him and take back their gold.
And from that system, the central bank was born.
They decided how many receipts to print, lent gold to each other when shortages hit, controlled supply, funded wars (they still do), and even installed kings (they still do).
But here’s the real reason the system was built:
To make you work.
They could print endless receipts and make everyone rich but they don’t.
Why? Because if everyone had enough, no one would work.
And if no one works, nothing gets done.
So remember this: Value isn’t in money. It’s in value itself.
This is why you do NOT have to kill, steal or worry about scarcity - simply plan gardens that attract the butterflies
The fastest way to become successful is to associate with people more successful than you. This results in some of the fastest learning and behavior change you can experience.
The problem is...they wont want anything to do with you.
So you have to find ONE thing you're more successful than them at, and give that thing freely. Not at cost. Not tit for tat. Freely. Without expectation. It's an unspoken code of people who are higher up - they're almost all givers. The easiest way to see someone who is "out of place" is to spot the taker. Spot the person always angling.
Anyways once you do actually provide value (help them do something good they couldn't do before or help them avoid something bad they used to have to deal with, or get the same outcome they're used to faster or cheaper)...they'll let you hang around.
Then you learn as much as you possibly can and try and be the best in that group at EVERYTHING. And when that happens they'll see you as a leader. You won't even have to say it. The power dynamics will just shift.
The same thing happens in sales.
Say the wrong thing → You lose the customer.
Say the right thing → You win the sale.
That’s why I now focus on teaching vendors the exact words that sell.
So instead of getting laughed at…
You get paid.
The end.
