ADVICE FOR THE SINGLE GUYS‼️‼️ 1. BE GOAL ORIENTED: Stop chasing women, and FOCUS ON CHASING YOUR GOALS. Improve your economy, your value as a man increases when you are able to sustain yourself, and it will continue to increase when you have the ability to provide for others. 2. STUDY REGULARLY: You can read the books you want, go to the conferences you want, but nothing happens if you don't have SELF-ESTEEM. When your self-esteem improves everything improves: your economy, your physique, your relationships, etc. If you don't have self-esteem, you're already at a disadvantage. 3. SPEND AND SAVE WISELY: If you have no inheritance, if you have no financial support, if you don't have contacts, if you have great studies, or skills, do what a real man does: work, save, make capital. Don't borrow to buy luxuries, nor to play entrepreneurship. It's true that everything in life is risk, but it's not about taking risks for taking them. Simply if you are starting out DON'T OWE YOURSELF. Work, save, capitalize, that's how it starts. 4. PLAN,ACT WISELY: person who wants to get ahead CANNOT AFFORD TO WASTE HIS TIME. Devote all your energy and hours possible to develop skills. What skills? Skills that help you make money: learn to sell, learn to write persuasively, learn to speak, learn to lead, learn another language, learn digital marketing, viralization, etc. 5. ACT RESPONSIBLY: If you had children at a young age, behave like a man and take your RESPONSIBILITY. You're not the first and you won't be the last. You can be separated from the mom or move on with her, but no matter what, don't abandon your children, take on the role of a father to those creatures: be a provider, a protector, and a guide. Don't use your children as an excuse, use them as a motivation to overcome yourself 6. THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE: Your future is not in another country, YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS. Acquire financial education and entrepreneurial mindset, that will open your eyes and you will start seeing opportunities where you used to only see problems. Europe is not what you think, America is not what you believe, Asia is not what you see, but instead you if you are MORE than you believe, act accordingly! 7. INVESR IN YOURSELF: If you're already in another city or country, make your decision worth all the effort. Don't work to be sending money to irresponsible, conformist and liars family members. Help your parents and/or your children if they really need it, but fundamentally INVEST IN YOURSELF, educate yourself financially, make capital, your goal should be to become an entrepreneur or investor. 8. LEARNING DOES NOT END IN SCHOOL: Some people think that their education ended when they finished high school, others when they left university, on the other hand, successful people think that EDUCATION NEVER ENDS, so invest in training, books, mentoring, counselling, never stop learning! 9. STUDY FEMALE PSYCHOLOGY: choosing the wrong person as a partner can ruin you. Nowadays feminism is hurting women a lot and the family is under attack. Dysfunctional homes are on the rise. There are many women, and men, emotionally damaged, so you must learn to spot the signs of a person with internal problems, or distorted behaviours. First of all, remember: to find a healthy woman, first you must have been healed, because if you're wrong, it's highly likely that you choose wrong, it all starts with you! 10. DO NOT BE DESPERATE: Patience is underestimated, but really true wealth and true success require patience, a lot of patience. Rome wasn't built in a day. So don't run to run, don't wear out. You're living your best years, but the years ahead are even better. 11. KNOW GOD: Developing a relationship with God lays a foundation for true purpose, inner peace, and guidance through life’s ups and downs. Knowing God means pursuing a connection beyond religious routine — it’s about nurturing a relationship that shapes your values, decisions, and outlook. Seek wisdom and clarity through prayer, scripture, and meditation, allowing God to shape your character and actions. When you know God, your self-worth and identity become rooted in something deeper than material success or worldly validation. This helps you stay grounded in times of challenge and builds resilience in the face of uncertainty. As you grow in faith, you gain insight, compassion, and strength to pursue your goals with integrity, ultimately leading you to become a more loving, wise, and fulfilled person.. 12. BUILD GOOD AND GODLY FRIENDS: Surround yourself with friends who inspire you to be better in faith and life. Good and godly friends will support your goals, character, and spiritual growth

“Are you not ashamed of caring so much for the making of money and for fame and prestige, when you neither think nor care about wisdom and truth and the improvement of your soul?” —Socrates Often in life, we witness testing times where we are stuck in a dilemma of choosing between what’s easy and what’s right. That is exactly when we face tough decisions using our conscience. We should be goal-oriented and focused in life, but that shouldn’t come at the cost of our ethics. A successful person is not someone who amasses only an incredible amount of wealth, but someone who lives by his set principles in life and doesn’t get disillusioned by the wealth so much to indulge in rogue practices. A truly successful life is striking the right balance between a professional and spiritual life. Is it even a success that doesn’t allow us to sleep peacefully at night? It is crucial to achieve our goals but how we go about achieving them is also no less important. Today we live in a world where morality doesn’t grab any attention. Matters of ethics and spirituality are neglected amid cut-throat competition. Human beings hardly ponder over their day-to-day activities or take some time to introspect about their chosen path to attain their set goals. Having clear and effective work-life ethics helps arrive at better decisions and enriches our lives by making them less stressful. While there are many personal and work-life ethics, significantly crucial ones must be incorporated like honesty, integrity, self-respect, respect for others, empathy, compassion, etc. There are many benefits of leading a work-oriented ethical lifestyle. Helps prioritize our goals: Having a clear roadmap for our goals leads to advancement in our career. It gives a fillip to our professional life through proper planning. Enhances leadership quality: A leader is someone who leads others by example. When we are clear about our goals, we can undoubtedly motivate others around us to confide in us. Effective goal-setting: It helps us to have a clear vision about long and short term goals, our inclination towards various opportunities and our will towards achieving them. Leads to a balanced life: A person who trusts his instincts and makes the right decisions in life has nothing to fear and lives life to the fullest. A work-oriented ethical lifestyle helps us achieve the right balance in life, driving away stress and workload. Increased credibility among colleagues: When a person stands by what is right at the workplace, his colleagues can confide in him, leading to increased credibility and cooperation, making it conducive for the team to work towards their goals. The moral reasoning behind reaching our goals through ethics also implies doing the right thing at the right time at the right place. This mantra, if followed religiously, will not only lead to an enriched lifestyle, both socially and personally but also a productive life that perhaps every professional or student desires. Never neglect the ethical consequences of goal setting because it impacts our overall psychology. It is the mind and its well-being that matter. Therefore, it must be our continuous pursuit to focus on our goals besides relentlessly working towards enhancing our personality by incorporating value-adding ethics and principles in our lives.

According to a new study, people who accept their negative emotions have better psychological health. Pressure to feel upbeat can make you feel downbeat, while embracing your darker moods can actually make you feel better in the long run, according to a new study out of UC Berkeley. “We found that people who habitually accept their negative emotions experience fewer negative emotions, which adds up to better psychological health,” said study senior author Iris Mauss, an associate professor of psychology at UC Berkeley. © Yasmin Anwar and Melani King The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, tested the link between emotional acceptance and psychological health in more than 1,300 adults in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Denver, Colorado, metropolitan area. The results suggest that people who commonly resist acknowledging their darkest emotions, or judge them harshly, can end up feeling more psychologically stressed. By contrast, those who generally allow such bleak feelings as sadness, disappointment, and resentment to run their course report fewer mood disorder symptoms than those who critique them or push them away, even after six months. “It turns out that how we approach our own negative emotional reactions is really important for our overall well-being,” said study lead author Brett Ford, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. “People who accept these emotions without judging or trying to change them are able to cope with their stress more successfully.” Three separate studies were conducted on various groups both in the lab and online, and factored in age, gender, socioeconomic status, and other demographic variables. “It’s easier to have an accepting attitude if you lead a pampered life, which is why we ruled out socioeconomic status and major life stressors that could bias the results,” Mauss said. In the first study, more than 1,000 participants filled out surveys rating how strongly they agreed with such statements as “I tell myself I shouldn’t be feeling the way that I’m feeling.” Those who, as a rule, did not feel bad about feeling bad showed higher levels of well-being than their less-accepting peers. Then, in a laboratory setting, more than 150 participants were tasked with delivering a three-minute videotaped speech to a panel of judges as part of a mock job application, touting their communication skills and other relevant qualifications. They were given two minutes to prepare. After completing the task, participants rated their emotions about the ordeal. As expected, the group that typically avoids negative feelings reported more distress than their more-accepting peers. In the final study, more than 200 people journaled about their most taxing experiences over a two-week period. When surveyed about their psychological health six months later, the diarists who typically avoided negative emotions reported more mood disorder symptoms than their nonjudgmental peers. At this point, researchers can only speculate on why accepting your joyless emotions can defuse them, like dark clouds passing swiftly in front of the sun and out of sight. “Maybe if you have an accepting attitude toward negative emotions, you’re not giving them as much attention,” Mauss said. “And perhaps, if you’re constantly judging your emotions, the negativity can pile up.” Next, researchers plan to look into such factors as culture and upbringing to better understand why some people are more accepting of emotional ups and downs than others. “By asking parents about their attitudes about their children’s emotions, we may be able to predict how their children feel about their emotions, and how that might affect their children’s mental health,” Mauss said.
