Seen a lot of people forget that Khan’s silver medal at the Olympics in 2004 actually saved British boxing from funding cuts that arguably would have killed boxing in Britain

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

He was on smoke until a woman made him take his eyes off the prize. There’s a lesson to be learnt here

Millennials will never understand

Whatever you do, pray for the ability to see your own sins, your own hypocrisy, and your own shortcomings. Never lose sight of that. Never get so carried away, pointing fingers that you forget you, too, have abscesses that need tending.

Discipline is not a genetic trait. You build it one day at a time. So don’t be jealous. Get to work.

I watched a guy on the bus today. 6:45 AM in the morning while jogging, His eyes looked heavy, like he was carrying the weight of an entire lineage on his shoulders. But immediately he sat down, he brought out his phone and started scrolling TikTok. ​As a Biomedical Engineer, I wanted to snatch that phone from his hand. ​See, let me tell you the bitter truth nobody wants to hear. Most of you are not lazy or "unlucky." You are chemically sabotaging your own destiny before you even brush your teeth. ​The first 60 minutes of your day is a war zone. Your brain is begging for direction. It runs on dopamine, that’s the fuel for your motivation. But what do you do? ​You wake up. Your eyes haven't even adjusted to the darkness of your room, and gbam, you pick up your phone. ​You check WhatsApp to see who ignored you. You check X to see who is fighting. You check Instagram to see your mates buying cars you can't afford yet. ​You think you are just "waking up," but scientifically? You are flooding your brain with cheap, unearned dopamine. You are frying your reward system. By 8 AM, your brain is already tired. It has consumed "content" but produced nothing. ​And let me speak to the men for a second. ​I write about men a lot because I see what you go through. The pressure is much. You wake up and the first thought is Rent, School fees, the woman you want to impress. ​It is terrifying. ​So, you grab your phone to escape. The phone is your pacifier. It numbs the panic of the morning. But that comfort is a lie. ​When you start your day with cheap dopamine, actual work feels like torture. You have programmed your neurochemistry to be a consumer, not a king. ​You are training your brain to be weak in a world that eats weak men for breakfast. ​Here is the hard truth (and you can drag me if you like): Your morning mood doesn’t determine how your day goes. It determines your capacity to suffer for your success. ​If you can’t survive the first hour of the day without a screen, how do you want to survive the economy? ​Protect your first hour. Don't touch that phone. Stare at the ceiling. Pray. Do pushups. Go for a morning jug or walk. Let your brain starve for a bit so it learns to hunt for the hard things. ​Stop feeding your destiny to the algorithm.

UFFFF 🤌🏾

My mum told me that if I dropped out of university to start a business she wouldn't talk to me again... she wasn't joking. we didn't speak properly for 2 years until she realised this business stuff was paying me enough to cover my bills I've never held a grudge about this because back then I knew she was standing in my way BECAUSE she loved me. She'd struggled in business after we moved here from Africa, so she was scared I would struggle like she did. I think at some level i work hard to avoid the struggle I saw her endure The truth for all of us (especially for 1st generation immigrant families): The people who love you the most will sometimes give you some of the worst life advice… and not because they don't care…. but maybe because they care a little too much… They'll optimise for your comfort - the thing they probably didn’t have - and not for the growth the comes from risk and struggle. So you have to ask people who've been where you're going, not people who are where you're from. And ultimately it's your life, you have to face the consequences, so it has to be your decision…

Game’s gone.

half the things you go through are in-fact because of you, your lack of discipline and your poor decision making. stop complaining and make a change.

Bro: How r u so focused even under pressure? Meanwhile me in 2004:

Life advice for 2026:

Today is Quitter’s Day. But not for you. This is the weekend gym attendance drops because motivation falls off. I’m fighting back and not letting you quit. I know the power of training partners. I wouldn’t be the Arnold you know without Franco. It’s harder to give up on someone else than it is on yourself. You push each other, you hold each other accountable, you pick each other up. It’s why I say none of us are self-made. I figured out how I could use this philosophy to terminate Quitter’s Day once and for all. I’m letting you bring a training partner for free when you join the Pump Club - AND I’m giving you $50 dollars back when you both finish your customized Foundation program. That’s right. Buy one get one free, AND cash back for training - but you BOTH have to finish. You’re used to gyms and apps that are happy if you pay up in January and then disappear. I know the industry. That’s why I know how to flip the industry on its head and do something nobody else in fitness would do. Something that actually works for you. A training partner who joins for free, and money back if you both actually train. I’m making a big bet on you. This year, you don’t quit. Join us, I’ll keep this sale open for one week: arnoldspumpclub.com/pages/quitters…

@Wayfair your customer service staff are actually ridiculous - “Rozan I” told me I can “keep the mattress” when I never even purchased it from you 🤯

@Wayfair 15 days and I’m yet to receive my bed, a complete refund or even confirmation of my missing parcel. Your customer service is diabolical to say the least - it’s taken a week for your staff to admit and accept that my credit note was not a part of my refund! #Wayfair

Predator 2 is an amazing sequel and idk how people dislike it
