You have to learn to manipulate yourself

You have to learn the art of manipulating yourself because if you don’t, someone else will. Have you noticed that every time you talk to someone about a subject, you find it online? Every time you like a video, you see similar videos? That's someone conditioning you, and that person is called an algorithm. The algorithm has been trained to show you things that appeal to you. But you can manipulate the algorithms to give you what you want. Let the algorithms work for you, not against you. You can do a magical exercise: entertain yourself with videos that pop up on your feed, only like videos that align with who you want to be in the future, your goals, and aspirations. They say we are a product of the friends we keep around us, and if in 2023 we don’t make friends anymore and spend all of our time with our phones, doesn't it make sense that we have some degree of influence from the things around us? You are more exposed to influences than you think.

You have to lead yourself. You have to speak to the dimension of you that wants to be led, that child inside you that wants to be led. Lead him.

When I understood this, I manipulated myself by adding Dangote to my name. Richest man in Africa. I know there's a 1% chance that I won't be wealthier than Dangote, but as for despite, I will beat him. It's very easy. Will I want to become like Dangote? Of course, I will. Let me ask you, who is the most iconic player in Ghana? Abedi Pele. He named himself Pele. He never became Pele. In all honesty, he failed at being Pele. But he became the most iconic player in Ghana. Cristiano Ronaldo is an example of someone who lived up to a name. He was called Ronaldo thus he played like Ronaldo. Unlike Ronaldo Messi is naturally talented . In this life there is Messis and there's Ronaldos . If you are not a Messi, it's time to get to work.— Adnan saani
