Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭 It's knowing what to search for. Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes. 1. T-shirts: Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear. Instead, search: • 100% Cotton • Combed Cotton • Heavyweight Cotton • 240-300 GSM Cotton • Premium Cotton • Mercerized Cotton The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels. 2. Jeans: Denim Jeans Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search. Search: • Denim Jeans • Cotton Denim • Raw Denim • Selvedge Denim (if available) • 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane • 99% Cotton Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel. 3. Body-hug clothing: Search: • Ribbed Knit • Modal • Viscose Blend • Cotton-Spandex Blend They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester. 4. Hoodies Search: • 400 GSM • French Terry • Cotton Fleece • Heavyweight Hoodie 5. Chains Search: • 316L Stainless Steel • Titanium Steel • PVD Gold Plated • Vacuum Plated These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry. 6. Earrings Search: • 925 Sterling Silver • 316L Stainless Steel • Hypoallergenic • Moissanite (if you're buying stones) 7. Scarves Search: • Mulberry Silk • Silk Blend • Cashmere Blend • Wool Blend • Viscose Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look. 8. Loafers Search: • Genuine Leather • Cow Leather • Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for) • Rubber Outsole 9. Sneakers Search: • Rubber Outsole • EVA Midsole • Breathable Mesh • Leather Upper • Stitched Sole Pictures lie a lot The description usually tells the truth. Here's how I shop: 1. Read the material composition before anything else. 2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest. 3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth. 4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't. 5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos. 6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier. 7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches. 8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on. Your best friend isn't the product picture. It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos. That's how you separate the gems from the junk. I hope this help. Things are to expensive for a country this poor.

Once you place an order for a car you will start to see it more frequently on the road. It’s called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon Congratulations my bro!

You have to wake up every morning and firmly refuse mediocrity. Firmly.

The video l watched every morning At 6 AM for 6 months.

There is a process that I have used, and still use, to reignite life... Create two timelines—6 months and 12 months—and list up to five things you dream of having (including, but not limited to, material wants: house, car, clothing, etc.), being (be a great cook, be fluent in Chinese, etc.), and doing (visiting Thailand, tracing your roots overseas, racing ostriches, etc.) in that order. If you have difficulty identifying what you want in some categories, as most will, consider what you hate or fear in each and write down the opposite. Do not limit yourself, and do not concern yourself with how these things will be accomplished. For now, it’s unimportant. This is an exercise in reversing repression. Be sure not to judge or fool yourself. If you really want a Ferrari, don’t put down solving world hunger out of guilt. For some, the dream will be fame, for others fortune or prestige. All people have their vices and insecurities. If something will improve your feeling of self-worth, put it down. Drawing a blank? In that case, consider these questions: 1) What would you do, day to day, if you had $100 million in the bank? 2) What would make you most excited to wake up in the morning to another day? Don’t rush—think about it for a few minutes. If still blocked, fill in the five “doing” spots with the following: — one place to visit — one thing to do before you die (a memory of a lifetime) — one thing to do daily — one thing to do weekly — one thing you’ve always wanted to learn What does “being” entail doing? Convert each “being” into a “doing” to make it actionable. Identify an action that would characterize this state of being or a task that would mean you had achieved it. People find it easier to brainstorm “being” first, but this column is just a temporary holding spot for “doing” actions. Here are a few examples: 1) Great cook —> make Christmas dinner without help 2) Fluent in Chinese —> have a five-minute conversation with a Chinese co-worker Determine three steps for each of the dreams in just the 6-month timeline and take the first step now. Define three steps for each dream that will get you closer to its actualization. Set actions—simple, well-defined actions—for now, tomorrow (complete before 11 A.M.) and the day after (again completed before 11 A.M.). Once you have three steps for each of the four goals, complete the three actions in the “now” column. Do it now. Each should be simple enough to do in five minutes or less. If not, rachet it down. If it’s the middle of the night and you can’t call someone, do something else now, such as send an e-mail, and set the call for first thing tomorrow. If the next stage is some form of research, get in touch with someone who knows the answer instead of spending too much time in books or online, which can turn into paralysis by analysis. The best first step, the one I recommend, is finding someone who’s done it and ask for advice on how to do the same.

YOUR LIFE ISN’T BORING. YOUR BRAIN IS FRIED. Food needs a video. Walking needs music. Work needs five tabs. Silence needs a podcast. Every quiet moment gets filled before it can become anything. Then books feel slow. Conversations feel long. Ordinary life feels empty. Your brain isn’t broken. You’ve trained it to expect a new hit every few seconds. Don’t add another hack. Lower the noise. Leave the phone behind. Read past the urge to quit. Walk without filling the silence. Do one thing long enough for your mind to stop begging for something else. The goal isn’t a perfect detox. It’s making normal life feel good again.

Malcolm Gladwell explained why some people succeed and some don't.

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.

One hack to understand what you're naturally good at - look at places where your standards are way higher than average, just naturally.

I'm increasingly convinced that the ultimate sign of growth is faster recovery. You still get upset. You still make mistakes. You still have bad days. But you return to center faster. Apologize faster. Reset faster. Learn faster. Fast recovery compounds.

He literally explained the point of life.

Fuck being shy. Fuck being an introvert. Believe me or not, Strangers will make you rich. Start networking. Make small talk everywhere you go. You never know what kind of connections you'll create. Closed mouths don't get fed, bro.

Nothing eats a man alive more than his own mind. Not failure. Not enemies. Not even time. Just the quiet war in your head that never sleeps — replaying yesterday, fearing tomorrow, tearing you apart from the inside. Master your thoughts… or they’ll bury you alive.

A wedding that lasts one day should not create debt that lasts five years. The couple who starts married life under the weight of borrowed money for a party begins with a structural disadvantage that touches every financial decision they make together for years. The same applies to naming ceremonies, birthdays and any celebration funded by debt. Celebrate what you actually have. Not what you borrowed to pretend you have.

I saw a quote that said "to procrastinate is to willingly endure the discomfort of anticipation, rather than the discomfort of action. Both are burdens, but only one leads to progress" and if that didn't light a fire in me.
