Yeah
Greetings in the name of his imperial majesty
Emperor I'n'I Selassie I
Jah rastafari
Who live'th and rain'eth with I'n'I
Continually
Ever faithful
Ever sure
They say
Experience teach at wisdom
But there's a natural mystic blow through the air
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Key things rich families really educate their boys:
-never look expensive look unbothered.
-don't explain yourself, power never over-explains.
-keep assets boring and pleasures private.
-learn which laws matter and which ones are for poor people only.
-never fall in love before you understand leverage.
-your surname opens doors. Don't embarrass it.
-cash is for emergencies. Credit is for opportunities.
-friends are categorized: useful, neutral, entertainment.
-if something is loud, emotional, or viral, its already a bad deal.
-always know who actually owns the room. It's rarely the loudest person.
-don't argue with broke people about money. Don't argue with emotional people about logic.
-learn taxes before you learn multiplication tables properly.
-you don't work hard forever. You work hard early to stop later.
-never let pleasure habits become visible patterns.
-reputation is currency. One scandal costs more than ten failures.
-silence is safer than honesty in most rooms.
-if you can't control your sleep, hunger, lust, or temper, you can't control money.
-marry someone who improves your bloodline, not your mood.
-keep one legal problem away from disaster at all times.
-always have an exit plan. For jobs, cities, county, relationships, even friendships.
Just rules whispered, not posted.
Several times a season, up to 100 residents of Arnemuiden — a tiny town in Zeeland, the Netherlands — travel to Brighton.
They are all going to see their "hero" Jan Paul van Hecke.
And now they will watch the boy who grew up among them at the World Cup.
This is their story.

all jokes aside, i think one of the best things that can happen to you as a young person is figuring out what you truly want to do with your life early on and being in an environment that doesn't hinder it from happening
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
🗣️ Mauricio Pochettino on Brenden Aaronson missing training to get married. "The human being is always at the front of my mind.
"Players need to plan their lives, and the decision [to get married in late May] was made more than two years ago before I took charge.
"At the time, FIFA didn't allow a national team to play a warm-up game before 1 June and that was why they planned [the wedding].
"I wanted to allow Brenden to go. I know the type of professional player he is. It’s a good thing to let him celebrate...
"In the past, maybe people thought we [coaches] are all dictators. Maybe when I was a player, it was impossible. My old coaches would have said, 'I don’t care about you and your kids' [laughs].
"But today's society has evolved. Now we think about these things in more human terms than in the past.
"We were all happy. I am happy. He’s happy. His wife is happy."
