Listening is a skill.
It is a human skill that connects us.
Listening to each other is what makes us superior to other animals.
But it is disappearing.
Nowadays, when you talk to someone, in just a few seconds of the conversation, they will tap their phone to scroll or tilt their head to watch television.
"Friend, did you hear what I said?"
"Mmhh? What did you say?"
Not because you are boring, but because the attention economy and notification ringtones have taken away our ability to sit still, peacefully, and listen to a conversation.
Others don't even wait to listen and understand what you said. They interrupt you midway, divert the talk, and turn it into political verbiage.
In future, a profession will emerge called "Bachelor of Arts in listening."
These professionals will be hired by anyone who wants someone to listen as they talk.
Because listening is becoming an expensive skill. It is becoming rare.
It will be on demand.
A man needs resources to become a member of his own family. His own family. The one he built from scratch.
Otherwise, without resources, he becomes a pariah, a vagabond, homeless, and a stranger in the eyes of his own family.
Men,
Law 1: Thou shall not marry a woman older than you.
Law 2: Though shall not ignore red flags.
Law 3: Thou shall not buy a newspaper after midday.
Law 4: Thou shall not wear a pink coat.
Law 5: Thou shall not cock shame.

Do not drink alcohol.
Alcohol is bad.
It wastes money.
It ruins sleep.
It ruins discipline.
It brings the wrong friends.
If you drink, stop.
If your circle drinks, leave that circle.
CHANGE or PERISH.
#ManDay
Be hard on yourself.
Be rebellious.
Do not accept what the masses have normalised.
Mediocrity, feelings, incompetence, dishonesty, victimhood, lies and shortcuts are not your standard.
CHANGE or PERISH.
I want to offer an apology to the people of Nairobi, Kenya. The passion you have your city and homeland is amazing… We all make mistakes. I misspoke, and I am sorry to anyone I have offended.🙌
Listen,
Beauty will fade.
It fades so fast.
Beauty, romance, and love are biological tricks nature uses to harvest your seeds to ensure the continuity of the human species.
The biology of reproduction is a deceptive mechanism. Nature is selfish. It doesn't care about you; it cares about its survival.
It is the reason some primitive organisms like insects die immediately once they fertilize the female.
Once you sire children, you naturally get bored, numb, and indifferent to your wife, then get excited with other women.
This is nature's deceptive trick to make you spread your seed everywhere for the survival of the species.
Simps and cucks are considered nature's best friends because they are tied down to procreate.
Promiscuous men, who sleep all over, are considered nature's poisoned chalice, and once their wayward ways come to an end, they die from diseases, depression or murder.
That is how nature operates.
Therefore, as a man, you must learn to operate within the laws of nature. The cosmic laws.
Once you learn these laws, nature will consider you rebellious, but you will be unstoppable.
Therefore, see beyond a woman's beauty.
Beauty is nothing but flesh and blood.
What you should look for in a woman is the beauty of her soul and the purity of her character.
The beauty of a woman's soul and the purity of her character are heavily influenced by her socio-cultural upbringing.
#MasculinitySaturday
Learn to be strict with yourself.
Your time.
Your resources.
Your business.
Your discipline.
The moment you become mediocre, others will take advantage of you and mess you up.
It is better to be called a bully because being afraid to say NO will cost you a lot.
People who masquerade as your friends are waiting for you to fail so that they can celebrate.
They are waiting for your
• Business to collapse
• Marriage to fail
• Car to be auctioned
• Job to end
• Social media page to be suspended
Narrow your circle of friends.
Every morning, when you leave your house, know that you will meet people who are
• Abusive
• Provocative
• Reckless
People who are ready to ruin your day.
They are miserable people unleashing their misery on you so that you become like them.
Refuse to respond to them.
Figures of speech that the average person can't understand,
• Irony
• Satire
• Sarcasm
• Humour
• Metaphor
• Hyperbole
Use them regularly to winnow low-IQ chaff from your life.
These can help you differentiate authentic people from cosmetic friends.
The most critical leadership skill is EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE (EQ):
When to speak.
When to be silent.
Whom to speak to and whom to avoid.
The two most important pillars of EQ:
• SELF-AWARENESS
• SELF-REGULATION
The most important foundation of EQ:
• SELF-DISCIPLINE
People who like to complain and whine seek comfort in their lack of discipline.
Do something good: They complain.
Do something bad: They complain.
Do nothing: They complain.
Do something: They complain.
Be vocal: They complain.
Be silent: They complain.
