1. Stop buying dumb shit. If you do, make it rare and inexpensive.

2. Life isn't fair. Stop trying to make it fair. Make it unfair to your advantages instead.

3. Your employer does not care about you. If you can make money elsewhere, do it.

4. Introverts aren't anti-social, they just hate drama, stupidity, and fake people.

5. Invest early and often so work becomes optional sooner.

6. Successful people aren't special. 99% of them just never gave up.

7. Alcohol has 0 benefit. It makes you poorer, dumber, and fatter.

8. There is little value in caring about things you cannot control.

9. Accountability and maturity are the same thing.

10. Avoid high interest debt at all costs.

14. Discover yourself before you chose a course to study
15. Date yourself first, before you date anyone.
16. Read everyday, at least one page a day.
17. In every decision you take, make sure it propells you to your goal. If it doesn't, leave it.
18. Never fall in love with someone you don't know, no matter how you feel about him or her. If you want to love him/her, start by knowing him or her (friendship)
19. If you don't like something don't think about it, if you think about it so much, you give it life and it becomes your reality.
20. Put aside something everyday, even if it is one naira.
21. Always proof read before you summit your write up, no matter how sure you are.

My own message is for young men, never commit if you aren't ready for marriage. Hang out, have fun and generally get to know women without any strings attached. You don't need that drama, what you need is focus.

When you want to eventually get married, look very well before you decide to date. Dating is for marriage. Without the prospect of marriage, dating is a waste of time for young men.

Focus, focus and focus on your future. You don't need that drama and fake love at that point in your life.

Luckily for me, I practiced this same theory many years ago without the Internet to learn from or all the YouTube coaching videos. I'm a much better man today.

1. If I magically become a twenty-year-old again, I will never go to a traditional university, I will instead, go to NOUN (national open university of Nigeria) or study online in a free online university (''uopeople'' is a good one) so I will have a lot of free time, then start a business along the way, make all the mistakes necessary and succeed in it. This way, I kill two birds with one stone. A degree and a career that sets me up for life and makes me attractive and respected in my 30s. And it's cheaper too, without the distraction of strikes, cultism, too expensive, the temptation of prostitution, etc. 

2. If you want to understand human nature, politics, women, society, and how power structures work, study the animal jungle. Animals will reveal to you the true nature of humans without the mask of laws, civility, and democracy (lol). 

3. By default, trust no one. And if they give you reasons not to trust them, believe them. If you come to trust them through proven track records that span a reasonable amount of time, still make sure you have a safe landing if things go bad. 

4. Everybody is trying to capture your mind. Guard it with your life. Your mind is like an engine or a computer OS, if it is corrupt, the whole system will be. An example of a captured mind is he who cannot think for himself. 

5. You should know that you are paying a very dangerous price if you refuse to man up, get your shit together, and put in the work. The world is very unforgivable to weak people who prefer comfort, and your refusal to work hard will sink you at the bottom of the food chain, of which you would have been older, fatter, maybe smarter due to experiences, but poorer, and irrelevant. 

6.  Your 20's will only be the time you will be free. From your 30s, society will not be soft on you the way you are soft on yourself. If you are broke, girls will ignore you, friends will not respect you, and your esteem will be low. And other successful people will rent your life to advance their interests. And it will only go worse from there. And as a man, by default, you are on your own. 

7. The earlier you start to run, the quicker you reach the finish line, rest, and enjoy. if your parents are still sponsoring you in your 20s, it is not an excuse to be lazy. Face life as a man, because it gets harder as you grow older. 

8. Look for a woman you hate with a passion, then buy a house for her, a car, and maintain the house until you die. This is the pain that awaits you if you marry a woman who lies, manipulates, and is a deceiver because the body is what attracts you instead of the character. 

9. Your biggest enemies will always be those in your inner circle. It is difficult to be envious of someone you don't know, who didn't watch grow from zero to hero. haters are harmless idiots who hate from afar, but envy is within. More people have been killed and backstabbed by those who know them than by strangers. 

10. In anything you do, make sure that you are able to look at yourself in the mirror and have peace within. You might get away with treating people wrongly, but nothing will torment the soul more than your conscience. Conversely, nothing will burn your soul more than allowing injustice to be done to you because you have no teeth. Grow some teeth, and make sure you can use them, and that single act of deterrence will scare the dangers of this world away from you. 

11. You have to be awake to outsmart women. Women by nature are next level' more socially aware than men, so it takes a conscious effort for most men to see themselves through the eyes of women. You will probably spend your life permanently with one, so it is worth spending time (and resources) to know them.

12. Have a war mindset, because whether you like it or not, you are in a fight by default. Life is a battle. If some people are living their best life, it is either because they come from a good background, or country, or put in the work themselves. In any case, someone has gone to war with himself, and paid the price, for him or his family or country to live better.

-Trust God with all your heart.
-Keep your circle small.
-Your closest ally is the most likely to sell you (Keep an eye on him)
-Be wary of people who talk too much (They tell a lot of lies)
-Make money you can't spend, and more money.
-Never spend your energy on Women.
-When someone takes a cheap shot at you, do not be afraid to fire back.
-When you make a blunder in public, make it seem like it's nothing.

- Not all plans will work out your way.

- Listen more and speak less... For when you speak, you only say things you know and when you listen you learn more than you know.

- Celebrate little winnings and give yourself a treat.

- Whatever tense situation you find yourself in, stay calm... There's a way out of every situation.

- Love is an illusion, state your terms.

- Car, house, wife, house is isn't an achievement, any idiot can own them... Find your true purpose.

- Don't underestimate the power of giving, it's the greatest universal secrets to inner peace.

- Don't be afraid to make mistakes, they help improved your risk assessment level.

1. Forgive people but let them go.
2. Don't forgive or accept a devil back into your life. Just walk away from them. I repeat, forgive but disconnect from them.

A devil is a devil. Even a snake, however he changes its skin, he remain a snake.
