21st century manhood

Nice woman, nice car, nice watch come when you win at the GAME as rewards not as goals themselves.

Never let them distract you from your discipline.

Your goal as a man is to create a stable and wealthy enough life for your wife and kids to grow up peacefully and joyfully while having enough time for yourself to enjoy other things which can be hobbies, getting a new degree, learning a language or instrument... pretty much whatever you wanna do. Go get that law degree IDK and IDC.

Your goal is to enjoy life also while doing all of the above. You gotta do all of the above at the same time. There is no such thing as "once-i-get-there-i-will-do-this-or-that."

The challenge is not to lose yourself in the meantime, not to cheat, lie or steal but make it happen with actual honest work. Do not lose yourself for a richman’s gold. That’s how you can be hooked and manipulated. IOW, be in control of your emotions.

Appreciate what you have and the cards you have been dealt with and make the most out of them. Never sell yourselves short. Know your value and demand your value to be respected; if no respect, just leave.

At the end of the day, ENJOY this ONE BIG SHOW called LIFE. You can enjoy in various ways. You can sit back and enjoy the sunshine like a Zen artist. Or you can enjoy doing something in IT whatever it may be like Kobe as long as what you are doing does NOT bring misfortune and pain unto others. It’s all up to you brother!

Aaah yes, almost forgot, one more thing, always be a man of your words at all cost! Your words are your value! Once your words lose their value, then you are a nobody in a man’s world!
