The English Premier League starts this weekend.

1. Watch it.
2. Support the team that does everything the right way - Liverpool.
3. But please, don't bet on it.

Don't bet at all. The sport betting industry is a bloodsucking behemoth. Don't feed the beast.

No drama.
No oil money.
No Russian oligarch.
No Norwegian Baby coach.
No "Wenger out".
No "St. Totteringham's Day."
No "6th place holder"

Just a lot of:
- Love
- Klopp hugs
- Mo, Sadio, Firmino
- VVD
- TAA
- Brexit midfield
- Champions league trophies
Seriously though, my message is simple.

PLEASE DON'T BET.

Not even for fun.

The "small" money you use to bet is powering a group of companies that are destroying your neighborhoods by entrapping vulnerable people.

Don't let them use your money to destroy your hood.

10 Lessons from My 40s.

- A Thread

As I reflect on my journey through my 40s, I have compiled ten invaluable lessons that I believe hold value for individuals in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or even 50s.
1/10 Time Flies: Enjoy the Present Moment: One of the most important things I've realized in my forties is how quickly time passes. It's crucial to embrace each moment and make the most of it. Cherish the present because it's the only time that truly belongs to us.
2/10 Failure Leads to Growth: Mistakes and setbacks aren't the end of the road but stepping stones toward personal growth and improvement. Embrace failure as a valuable teacher, as it provides lessons that help you move forward on your journey.

📌6 important ways to maximize the value you draw from your career.

- A THREAD
1/6 Don't allow loyalty to your current employer to stop you from considering better opportunities.

Remember, businesses prioritize their fiscal health. It's only fair for you to prioritize your career growth likewise.

Be open to change and progress.
2/6 🚀Embrace New Opportunities:

Don't shy away from a promising opportunity just because it means a smaller paycheck in the short term.

View your career as a strategic journey. Sometimes a pay cut can lead to new avenues, expanded networks, and unanticipated advancement.

How to find the ONE THING that will change your life in 2023.

- A thread.
A new year is on the horizon and many of us will soon start making new year resolutions to improve several aspects of our lives.

For me: my new resolutions typically fail before the end of January. I will bet yours probably won't survive January too.

May I suggest another way?
Don't make several new year resolutions, MAKE ONE.

Choose ONE THING that will move you towards your desired future and devote the entire year towards achieving it.

We often don't need to make many changes to move forward.

The hard work is to find that ONE THING.

The top question I ask people who are getting married is, "Will you enjoy life with him if he doesn't change at all?"

Why? Adults don't make significant changes.

Our values/virtues are mostly set by 25 so we remain fundamentally the same and only make a few cosmetic changes.
If your happiness is contingent on him/her making a few changes, please don't say "I do".

He/she probably won't change and you'll both be miserably married.
If I had a penny for every time a woman (and it's mostly women) tells me that she thought she could love him into changing, I would be a billionaire.

You can't love a grown man enough to change him!!!

Him: How do I achieve my goals and ambitions? My parents are really poor and there is no one to help me move forward.

Me: One step at a time:
1. Start with research.
2. Decide on your strategy.
3. Set intermediate goals.
4. Create a vision board.
5. Outwork everyone.

THREAD 👇
Step 1. Start with research.

Find someone who has achieved something similar to your goals and ask:

1. What did they do?
2. How did they do it?
3. How did they start?

It's a lot easier to dream big when you know someone who has done it in the past.
Step 2. Decide on your strategy.

You need to create a broad (very broad) outline of a path to your dream.

So your plan is to become a software engineer.

1. What stack is currently in demand?
2. How can you learn it efficiently?
3. What project can you build quickly?

etc.
