Are rich people harder workers than poor people as a whole?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Losing 20kg is a goal.
