How does one succeed in life?

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

Procrastinates a lot.

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.

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

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

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

“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.

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

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

Do not set goals—set systems.

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.

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