How does one succeed in life?

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Why am I totally different than others? Why do I have a problem with my basic knowledge about society and reality? Why am I dumb and stupid?

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Undercover cops in New York are riding the subways with iPods on to entice robbery. Is that a form of entrapment? If not, why not?

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Ask yourself:

Do not set goals—set systems.

Why do I randomly start sweating a lot in public (while waiting in line, in a new class, etc.) then start sweating more because I’m embarrassed that I’m sweating so much? Is this social anxiety?

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

“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.

Hangs out with loser friends.

Is OnlyFans good or bad for the society? Why?

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.

Why is every human messed up in some way?

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

What are your views on music video reactors on YouTube?

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.

Does not procrastinate.

How do the youth in Taiwan perceive their national identity in relation to China?

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

What I need from you?

Why are Trump's and Khan's experiences with authorities in the US and Pakistan similar?

That's it for today.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

Making more friends is a goal.

Why are right-wing commentators spreading conspiracy theories about Haitians eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio?

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.

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

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

How do you handle family members who ask for handouts?

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.

Living to your full potential is a goal.

Late for Work: Lamar Jackson Makes Big Jump Up in Chris Simms' Annual Quarterback Rankings - Baltimore Ravens

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Procrastinates a lot.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
