Books, books, books

Getting addicted to books is the best thing I have ever done for myself. When I was in my teen years I heeded the advice of my heroes, they all seemed to have one thing in common, reading. So I started reading everything I could get my hands on. From Dale Carnegie, to Robert Kiyosaki and Napoleon Hill. I remember when I first read “Think and grow rich”, I was intrigued, I studied the book, I made notes, made use of highlighters for the first time in my life, I was 15 and it was incredible! I felt like I had a vault of gold. One of the most impactful books I have ever read. I remember reading chapter 11, the chapter about sex transmutation and I thought it was suspect. “Nope, not a chance” I thought. It just didn’t make sense to me. I was a teenager, all I was thinking about was having sex. I was conflicted. I didn’t want it to be true. It was such a sacrifice, no sex to attain a level of success? Still, I was so in love with the idea of being rich that I would do anything. I started embracing the idea. At 20, while my peers and friends were having sex or claimed to be having sex, I started writing a screenplay and I transmuted the energy of sex into the project. Hill stated that if you transmuted the energy of sex into a creative endeavor, it would attain genius level. I wanted that and so I implemented his teachings. I always had ideas, I was always in a creative fever, I wrote for hours and often lost track of time, my focus was optimal, I was continuously in a state of flow, I had the time of my life. I had so much creative energy that I created two sequels for the screenplay. In fact, I had to force myself to stop writing. If it weren’t for the transmutation, I never would have wrote my screenplay. I realized Napoleon Hill was right. As an added bonus, the people who used transmutation were legends, I am talking about Einstein, Edison, Mozart, Washington, Oscar Wilde, Tesla, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Napoleon Barnaporte and many other great men – without a doubt transmutation elevated mediocre work to great work – genius level work. Now all I see in my map of experience is works of transmutation from all my heroes. They all share the characteristics Hill mentioned. They are full of enthusiasm, they have a positive mental energy that radiates, a personality that is contagious, they are creative and they are super rich. The emotion of sex works and it makes sense because sex in itself is a ritual of creation. That’s when the flood gates opened up for me.

I realized I could get an advantage over people who didn’t read. I realized that I could know more and that would enable me to do more. It hit me like a sniper on the rooftop that I was onto something special. I got addicted to books and the library became my favorite place in the world. The way I saw it was that I was internalizing what took a person a whole lifetime to learn in a couple of hundred pages. It was like a cheat code for life. Finishing a book always made me feel like a winner. It still does. I think I’ve read all books on Finance. Fine, not all but most, I am talking about Classics and Bestsellers. Reading Proust was a drag at first because in my mind, I always had the thought that I was going to read over 4000 pages. In order not overwhelm myself, I decided that I would read the book in a period of 3 years – that’s two volumes a year. It was a good plan. I was after all reading other books, and literature wasn’t really a favorite, I preferred books on Finance, Psychology & Philosophy. To Robert Greene, I salute you, I have read all your books, I love them all, I look forward to your upcoming works, you are one of my favorite authors ever. Dr. Jordon B. Peterson, Maps of Meaning influenced me so much. I swear it changed how I perceived reality. Thank you for that wonderful gift, it’s one of my favorite books of all time. Anyways, the first year I followed through and read the two volumes of Proust, and the next year I devoured the remaining volumes. I finished reading the book way before the fat lady started singing. I couldn’t follow the initial schedule, I wanted to read more, I was hooked. Proust took me to incredible places. I got acquainted with so many great and intelligent people. The creme de la creme of French society, I am talking about aristocracy, Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, Ducs, Duchesses, Intellectuals, War heroes, the best artists and just the best people in all walks of life. I learned different mannerisms. He taught me how to be social and emotionally intelligent. His words could paint a picture better than Picasso. He taught me about love, friends, suffering, old age and death. He taught me how to be a gentleman. He taught me about perspective and delaying gratification; your 60 year old self is a product of your 25 year old self, make the right decisions, don’t be expedient, your 60 year old self won’t appreciate it. Reading his book is the best thing I have done in my young life. I know what life has to offer to me in its entirety because of Proust, he gave me his whole life on a silver platter, after he finished writing the last chapter he died – I cheated life.

The Universe has recently opened up a reality for me that I can talk about business endlessly. A reality with smart people where I can talk about Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. A reality where we exchange ideas and book recommendations. A reality where ambition is the norm. A reality where we use words like “Market Research”, “Board of directors”, “Investments”, “Serve”, “Monetize” and “Innovation”. A reality where only the best are chosen. A reality where fools are not accommodated. A reality for somebody like me. Wow! Look at what books have done for my life. That’s what I want, to be around the best people, people who are better than me. Winners. Conquerers. Millionaires and Billionaires who are serving large numbers, people who are chasing worthwhile deals. This is the only thing I care about.

P.S. It would be criminal if I composed a post on books and I omitted “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham – my best book purchase! I love it, it makes sense, one of the reasons I am an Investor. Shout out Warren Buffet who taught me so much; to have an Innerscore card, operate with a margin of safety, operate within your circle of competence, be ambitious, be patient, love what you do, make a lot of money and give it away – priceless.

Billionaires are getting divorced

Billionaires are getting divorced

Billionaires are getting divorced, it’s happening everywhere! It’s started getting mainstream when the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos got one. He parted away with 4% of Amazon, it’s no big deal, still retained his position at the helm. Made his ex one of the richest woman in the world with that divorce. Ladies, you gotta pick em right. You have options, align them with plan A as the best but have a strong plan B and C. Then Kanye West got one. Kim Kardashian is herself a Billionaire so the divorce process will be smooth, plus prenuptial agreements were signed, I feel this was a great business agreement. The two brands were great together, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian – Kimye, that is amazing! Elon Musk and Charlie Munger have been divorced at least 2 times son. Steve Jobs could have had one if he lived longer, I am almost certain; there’s no ways Steve Jobs doesn’t get a divorce. Even the greatest man in the world, Warren Buffet had some problems; but he didn’t divorce, that would disgrace his name. They made it into a business-like agreement, they were cordial with one another, but the wife left him, things worked out perfectly for both parties as they both self-actualized and lived fulfilled lives. Classic Warren Buffet, a winner in any case, a natural winner, even when he loses he wins; his wife put a younger woman to look after his needs since she lived on the other side of the world, it was someone she trusted, someone with credibility, someone with the right values, someone who could fit into Warren’s tempament like a glove, someone functional and valuable. Just recently Bill Gates got a divorce. Wasteful, Bill didn’t learn from Warren. But let me not blame him, it’s just the climate, Billionaires are getting divorced. Zuckerberg, the world’s waiting for your divorce, no pressure.

Why is this happening? Is it a business transaction? Is it love? Is it happiness and fulfillment? Is it the human touch? It’s tough being in a relationship with a Billionaire. They are so charged-up like a red bull, bullish and long on the next wave like Stochastic.

My timeless advice

My timeless advice

My advice is just don’t chase women my nigga. That’s the way it’s set-up. You won’t get far my nigga. She expects that, she has hundreds of other low-value men chasing after her. Refrain from being another option. Change the game, you are the one that’s in limited supply like Bitcoin. You are the new Gold. Switch your focus and elevate your perspective. Make yourself valuable, build yourself, be patient. Get your money, in the end they’ll come to you in a herd. To quote a great man, “Success brings bitches and they bad as fuck, ass fat as fuck”. This is not Forex or Betway, pure speculation, it is science. Be the prize. Let her chase you, this is better for everyone. It will feel like an achievement when she finally gets you. Then you win because she’s invested like the miracle of Omaha. Never be afraid of rejection, make the first move. Don’t advance with the intent of getting her to bed, instead make it light. Talk about anything, build relations but don’t persist. Probe. Advance taking small bites. Practice being a man of indirection, that’s the secret code. Be a man of high value. Don’t just settle for anything. There’s plenty of good fish in the ocean. Have standards. Qualify her and cast her aside if she doesn’t meet the desired requirements. Cultivate an air of mystery, leave the inbox, don’t be typical my nigga. This is timeless advice my nigga, I got you. Do this, it works with no exception.

Security Analysis

Security Analysis

I had extra thousands so I decided I wanted to ball so I went to the book store. I was looking for an extraordinary purchase. One of the greatest I have ever made. Like the one when I was 20, on my birthday, on a day I decided “You deserve it”! I bought the greatest book on Investing “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham. I liked the color of the book. I liked the recommendation by Warren Buffet stating that it was the greatest book on Investing ever! I laughed a bit. What can I say? I liked the language. It’s positive. It’s affirmed. I added Jordon Belfort’s “The Wolf of Wall Street”. I saw the movie and I wanted the book. Congratulations to Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Di Caprio for delivering an absolute cinematic experience. The best movie when it came out! It’s a pure Martin Scorsese film. A prime example of excellence. Terrence Winter wrote a good script. It was funny, it was great. The actors, the cameras, the make-up, everyone well done! Topping the purchase and day is impossible unless if I chose another Benjamin Graham book. The first book that came to mind was… That’s right, “Securities Analysis”. That’s the only book that can beat “Intelligent Investor”. I went to the superstore in Sandton, saw the classic guys Robert Kiyosaki, Robin Williams, “Richest Man in Babylon” but no “Security Analysis”. I went to the front and asked to be assisted, the kind book store guy obliged. He checked on his system and still no “Security Analysis”. He checked inventory from other branches but still not “Security Analysis”. Look, it’s not really a problem, I have “Security Analysis” as an ebook, I just wanted something tangible this time around. This kind sir was not willing to give up and so he went to the internet inventory. And it come up from my screen that it was 1.6. I was happy with the evaluation. At least a thousand nigga! Especially if it’s going to change your life in a major way. This book can make your existence. Pay up a bit. I said “Oh, you have it in hardcover? He responded, “no, it’s in digital format. I looked at him with great pride and said, no that’s not necessary sir, I already have it in ebook format”. I then thanked him for his time and walked away. It felt good. It was a good day.

The Richest

/ antakalipa / Leave a comment

The richest

Who’s the richest man in the world? For years Forbes has stated that it is Jeff Bezos but I have never been sure. Sure, Amazon is a great company and it runs a monopoly. A great monopoly that sells virtually everything and knows you better than you know yourself. The acquisition of companies like Alexa and Twitch makes it a force to be reckoned with, but I still think its stock is too inflated. Don’t get me wrong I think Jeff Bezos is an absolute genius who specializes in internet companies and a visionary who can forecast into the future. He has smart investments in his portfolio, futuristic investments like the purchase of Twitch. He bought Twitch for $970 Million, he knows e-sports is the thing of the future. We have more examples of Bezos futuristic thinking, he was one of the founding investors of Google investing $1 million in 1998. He was one of the first people to see the potential and now Google is the pulse that runs the world. In addition to Google, he invested $15 million into Twitter in 2008 and today they are evaluated at over $22 Billion. He also invested $3 Million into Uber and now its stock is worth $300 Million – a 13233% return on investment, not bad for a day’s work. The acquisitions of organic food company Whole Foods Market and the space company Blue Origins is just brilliant. People are becoming more health conscious and are watching what they eat, the purchase of Whole Foods Market Is in line with that reality. There’s also the small fact that we want to inhabit Mars in a couple of years making us a multi-planet species. The acquisition of Blue Origins to rival SpaceX just makes sense and provides a great opportunity to make a lot of money. Regardless the question has to be asked. Are his assets liquid? Or are they just paper assets? Jeff Bezos recently had a divorce and had to part with 25% of his Amazon shares. He initially had 16% and gave his ex-wife 4% which amounts to $38 Billion. Isn’t that a bit steep? Don’t you think Amazon shares are over evaluated? Don’t you think they are inflated? Granted, I may be underestimating Amazon but I don’t think I am. I don’t doubt Bezos business acumen, I think he is the JD Rockefeller of modern times. He runs Amazon like Standard Oil, he buys the competition or he butchers them. No one even comes close, he is ruthless. He is one of the best businessmen in the world. Still, his investment portfolio is over 60% of Amazon and if indeed Amazon’s stock is inflated that would make him the richest person in the world – but only on paper. Something behind the door is being done to inflate those shares, maybe his issuing out shares like how banks just create new money. I seriously doubt that he could give away billions to charity like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. And if he can’t is he still the world’s wealthiest man?

Half of Bill Gates portfolio is Berkshire Hathaway. Interestingly he doesn’t own a lot of Microsoft shares. In the year 2000, during the big tech crash he sold out most of his Microsoft stock to diversify his portfolio to protect his net worth. I think that’s so intelligent. Throughout the years Warren Buffet had been a rival in the list of the richest people in the world. Buying Berkshire Hathaway shares worth billions is a great way to nullify the threat and the best way to diversify your portfolio. And because Warren Buffet is considered to be the greatest money maker in the world, success is virtually guaranteed. It was a chess move for Bill Gates and it speaks volumes of the respect he has for Warren Buffet. You see by owning so much of Berkshire Hathaway, Bill Gates is an owner of everything Warren Buffet owns. Berkshire is a holding company that owns shares and stocks in a lot of great companies like Coca-Cola and Apple. Berkshire’s stock are not inflated and its assets are liquid. That’s the major difference between a Jeff Bezos and a Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. Berkshire owns companies that pay out dividends and they own these stocks/shares for the long haul. The returns from these companies in a form of profit or dividends can pay for themselves essentially making billions for Berkshire for nothing. Bill Gates owns a lot of stocks that pay dividends on his portfolio, companies like; Waste Management, Canadian National Railway, FedX, Caterpillar, Walmart and a lot others. Bill Gates loves Dividend stocks because they earn him money virtually every day and they pay for themselves, freeing up capital to use for other projects or securing more assets. This is the reason Bill Gates and Warren Buffet can give away billions to charity and still have billions. They are indispensable. The billions they make are not tied to their net worth, it is simply free capital that they can afford to give away. Since 2000, Warren Buffet has given away over $46 Billion to charity making him the world’s most charitable billionaire in the world. While Bill Gates has given away $18 Billion to charity since 2000. I seriously doubt Jeff Bezos has the capability of doing that not because of moral obligations but because it would cripple his net worth. With time, I think he will be able to do that.

The richest man in the world is Bill Gates for the diverse stock he has in his portfolio. Through Berkshire he owns some of the greatest and best companies in the world including Coca- Cola, Apple and Amazon. On his own he owns Stocks that are unmatched by competition standards and yield consistent figures. For example, pundits predict another market crash and maybe it will happen but Bill Gates won’t be affected all that much because of the choice of stocks he has chosen in his portfolio. Even when the stock market crashes, people still need to dispose of garbage – Bill has a Waste Management company. Even when the stock market crashes, people still need to eat – Bill owns Walmart. Even when the stock market crashes, people still need to travel – Bill owns a railway company. Even when the stock market crashes, people still get thirsty and Bill owns a company that packages soft drinks like Coca-Cola. The companies in Bill Gates portfolio have a big competitive advantage. Most of them pay dividends and they are relatively defensive, prone to external forces like the stock market crash. Honestly, I think his the most intelligent businessman ever. The greatest money maker in the world is Warren Buffet – for it is he who makes half of Bill Gates money. Warren Buffet is a freak of nature, someone who understands the business world in its entirety, he is immersed in it, it is first nature to him. He is a practical man who understands human nature and lives in the real world. Warren Buffet is a visionary who invests over the long haul. He dissects companies to the bone before making a decision. He is supremely intelligent, an informed man. A man who makes money for a living. My observations are that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and that Jeff Bezos is not far out. Jeff Bezos will be the undisputed richest man in the world, his investments and portfolio predicts and suggests that. If the Amazon stock is not overvalued and inflated then he is already that and will never be toppled. On the contrary, maybe Mark Zuckerberg has a chance. Since 2005, he has dominated the internet and how people perceive reality. He is young and has made impressive acquisitions. He will be the one to challenge Jeff Bezos and I think he will win.

Speaking of overvalued and inflated, I think one has to address the elephant in the room, Tesla. During the Covid-19 pandemic it elevated Elon Musk to the helm of the richest people in the world. Elon came from out of nowhere to beat everyone in the top 10. It looks like sustainable energy is finally bearing fruit, Tesla has been doing exceptionally well and are the benchmark for electric vehicles that are a sure thing for the future. Let’s not forget that Elon recently purchased Twitter in its entirety and turned it into a private company. Never mind everything said in this post about the other billionaires; Mark is cute, Bill who and Jeff is a has been – Elon certainly looks to be the man. His wealth is still accumulating in the 200 billions and it is widely forecasted that he will be the world’s first Trillionaire!

Forex made me wiser

/ antakalipa / Leave a comment

Forex made me wiser.

After quitting the call center I had R30000 from my savings, I also had other deals beside my call center job hence the large amount and they paid off at the right time. Hence me quitting without no hesitations, it was time. I was reading a lot on Investing and stocks. I remember I was so fascinated with those graphs, those candle sticks, what they meant, how to read them. They provided a promise of wealth and abundance. I wanted to understand them thoroughly, their psychology and nature. I was intrigued by what caused highs and lows. Martin Scorsese had just released “The Wolf of Wall Street” and it was a classic, I loved it! I even bought the book by Jordon Belfort. Those graphs gave me the promise of becoming Jordon Belfort and I wanted it all, the greed, drugs, big money, white Ferrari, hot blonde, the great Estate, bad morality and sex.

I read a lot on technical analysis and enrolled in a couple of courses. I tried out Forex, I decided that I’d do this full time. Forex is a battle against yourself, it’s not about the markets, observe. I put R15000 in the trading account and 5 days later my account was R65000, life was good. A month later I lost over 97% of that money. I committed horrendous mistakes! I added to losing positions. I let losing trades run hoping they would come back but they skyrocketed. Everyday I hoped it would go down but it kept going up and up. I didn’t want to terminate the trade because that is so final. I chose to live in denial and hope and everyday it got worse. Sometimes, it would go down but it was already way too high. I was in those losing trades for 3 weeks, acknowledging that I lost over R60000 was too hard for me. I kept going through. I got better at playing the game. I studied more and networked more. I got content from the top Forex college in the country at the time for free! I moved a couple of things to make that happen, the course cost R45000. I was fairly confident of my skills now. I remember one day, I was scalping, I turned $1 to $50. I was unstoppable that day. I was in complete flow. I won a lot of trades. Momentum trades and major reversal patterns. Be quick to enter trade and get out even quicker, don’t stay too long, in and out. I even started Journaling everything down, I was disciplined, it was a profession, I gave it my all. I got mediocre results though, It was disheartening but my focus was on being better. I have made over a 100K trading, my goal was always a million but it’s difficult getting to a million trading. You have to have an iron focus and discipline and even that is rarely enough because no one really knows where the market is going! I don’t care who you are, not even the greatest Investor in the world, Warren Buffet knows which direction the market is going. Forex is pure speculation. All the intersecting lines, shapes, moving averages, candle formations, oscillators don’t mean anything! All these things don’t obey any scientific or mathematical law. You are merely lucky if you win. Even if you place your stop-loss 1000 pips above range, it is going to get triggered, the market is going to spike you out and you are going to lose money – there is no exception to this law, you are going to lose every time. That’s why I preferred trading without a stop-loss, I don’t advocate it but some days it worked and some days it cleaned out my account.

Some days I won, but most days I suffered that’s why you need to have a major payoff, risk and rewards are the fundamentals of Forex. If you do it right, one position can make you a ton of money but you need to be patient with those, go into the 4Hour, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly columns, think long term, you will be rewarded handsomely. That’s what I ultimately started doing. I left the “day traders”, they are to expedient – “intraday” is more my style. Start off your analysis on 4Hr, anything other than that is just cute. You can’t be just placing too much trades, what’s the matter with you? Less is more, have a great risk/reward ratio or don’t go into the trade. Still I was good on every time frame. I decided I needed partners, I got investors, I promised them heaven on earth, 100% of your investment in the first month and 400% thereafter for 12 months! Everyone was impressed. “Mr. Forex kid”, you think I’ve just been reading at the library, foolish assessment, I’ve been making this cheddar, you niggas worry about the wrong things. Obviously, the enterprise with my partners didn’t go so well. I couldn’t deliver on that time frame. Donald Trump became President of the United States and the currency market misbehaved, and I didn’t have my stop-losses on, I was complacent, I lost most of my investors money in that way. Life just happened to me and I had to accept it. I took a lot of insults, threats and expressions of disappointments. I had to take it and I did. I took every call and responded best to every comment in the Whatsapp group, I was timid and humble.

Forex taught me suffering, emotional stability and regulation, sacrifice, resilience, commitment, iron discipline, focus, pattern recognition, rationality, psychology of market, greed, patience and the importance of asymmetrical risk/reward to garner huge payoffs. Throughout the years I pawned my personal belongings to sustain my trading account. I pawned my Laptop, my music keyboard, my projector and my digital camera. It was an active sacrifice, I knew I might not see these things again and it didn’t matter to me, the promise of being better at Forex was all the motivation that mattered. In the end I conquered Forex, I have all the content, courses and books, I forced my way to the best Stock Market and Forex college in the continent and got all their content for FREE, I devoured all their content and sold it. I was an active full-time trader for 6 years. I’ve been in the industry for 9 years. I know all the top brokers. I know all the experts on a first name basis and the truth is disturbing! Ready for it? No one knows anything! Forex is an illusion, it is not real, it is fairy-dust, a character in one of Disney’s stories.While you are trading patterns the big institutions are trading your stop-losses, it’s a different game altogether. They will get your stop-losses every time, they are experts on it, they do it because they can manipulate they market at their will. The big institutions even work together to get to your stop-losses and then they share the profits. Even if you have half a million in your account like I did at one point, it’s futile because the big financial institutions like your banks are trading in billions. They are the big players, 98% of the forex market consists of institutional investors while less than 2% is you and me(retail). Besides, 500K ain’t shit. Making money on Forex is like beating the house in Vagas – Godspeed.

Successful people win every time

Successful people win every time.

Successful people make their own luck. Both sides on their coins are heads and their dice always roll seven. They don’t take chances. Successful people control results, they don’t let results control them. This is why many successful people have an elevated view of the world. An elevated perspective helps you distance yourself from situations. It enables you to plan and forecast the future. Jeff Bezos is a master of looking into the future. He builds for the future. For years Amazon had been operating at a negative deficit but he kept on expanding and convincing his investors to look at the long-term prospects of the company. Today Amazon is one of the most valuable companies in the world, one of the most profitable and sells absolutely everything. Jeff, achieved this with Amazon because he delayed gratification and elevated his perspective. His investments and acquisitions have been outstanding. He purchased Alexa, Twitch and was one of the early investors of Google – investing $2 Million when it was just a start-up and today Google is the pulse of the internet if not the world. Let’s not forget Blue Origin, a space company whose ambition is to colonize Mars.

Jeff Bezos is a visionary, no wonder he is the world’s richest man. He is a man who knows what he wants. He is a man of great innovation and ambition and he is deliberate about it. When he sees potential, he sinks his teeth into it. He is a long-term thinker. Having an elevated perspective helps achieve his goals and create space for innovation.

This is a trait of all successful individuals, Focus and long-term thinking. It has worked for Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Elon Musk. Steve Jobs also had the reality distortion field that enabled Apple to be the most valuable company in the world. Successful people are deliberate about what they want to see. They apply a lot of focus and resources to win. Successful people don’t wait for chance or speculate on the future, they have successful systems that enable them to win. They are relentless and ruthless. They never quit, it’s either they win or they win. Successful people create what they want to see with the aid of time. Successful people always get what they want.

Secrets to success

/ antakalipa / Leave a comment

Secrets to success

Warren Buffet was asked the secrets to success in an interview and his answer was that you needed to be able to express and articulate yourself verbally and on paper (written). He cited a certificate he got from completing a course on public speaking from Dale Carnegie as his best and this is a man who has masters and degrees in the field of business from the best Universities in the world. The Dale Carnegie certificate is even on display at his office, the degrees aren’t. Buffet continued that anyone who doesn’t have this skill is behind 50-70 years. Learning how to express yourself improves your value by 50-60%. I agree with him, I think it’s the number 1 secret/skill for success, one that has worked for me immensely in my engagements with the world.

The second secret to success is reading a lot of books. Reading expands your horizons and exposes you to world’s you didn’t know existed. Reading gives you different perspectives. Reading teaches and educates. It gives you a person’s whole life and research in a couple of pages. Reading improves and adds to your vocabulary which helps your speaking capabilities. Reading helps you command the English language and makes people think you are smarter than you are and that attracts success. Reading is by far the Champion of the world. You can’t not read and be successful.

The last is your friends. You have to have the right friends because you will sway in the direction of your 5 closest friends. Birds of the same feathers flock together. To be successful, you need successful friends. You need friends who are better than you, this will enable you to grow and progress.

Also, find a way to serve.
