For the ones who don’t know already who Andrew Tate is, he is a former world champion kickboxer and a business man. He is apparently very rich, we’re talking here about hundreds of millions of dollars.
Tate gained a lot of fans online because of his unfiltered comments and attention grabbing statements. In his videos he talked about businesses, self motivation, displaying expensive cars and showing off wealth.
The problem is that he also used misogynistic, controversial and offensive remarks in some of this videos, drawing widespread criticism and requests from women to have him removed.
Around a week ago he’s been permanently banned from all the major social media platforms: tiktok, instagram, facebook and youtube.
There are two main issues with all this situation and things are not that simple as you might think.
1. Tate did use misogynistic and offensive remarks in many of his videos, he actually admitted himself to be misogynist.
Some of his opinions and statements about women are totally wrong but the good thing is we don’t have to agree with everything he says. We don’t even have to watch him anymore if we think he is a bad person.
People need to accept that there are still guys in the world with all types of views. Tate was saying this things for years and nobody got upset. He was banned now because he got too famous and people started to take notice of him.
In one of his videos he admitted that he intentionally exaggerates and says things in a certain way to get more attention and more views.
We can all agree that some of the things he was saying were wrong and offensive.
How many “bad people” are still on internet now or was he the only one?Former mobsters, men that admitted to have killed other people are still on YouTube and they got a lot of followers.
We can find many examples of scumbags, with idiotic ideas and believes on social media. This doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to ban them all. The public should be the one to decide, and regrading the argument that Tate was a bad influence for kids, why is your kid watching Andrew Tate videos on YouTube?
His content is not in any way made for kids so if your child chooses to watch it, you should explain to him that some things on the internet are not for kids. You think that now that they censored Tate, kids won’t have any more bad things to watch on internet?
2. What happened with the freedom of speech? These are his opinions, his beliefs. You can choose to watch it or you can choose not to. If so many people don’t agree with what he was saying, then why he had that many views and suddenly became so famous?
As long as he is not hurting anybody and he is not doing anything illegal he should be allowed to express his views and opinions.
After all, this is what was good about the internet before, no censorship and everybody could express themselves how they wanted.
Is this the right way now, to censor anyone who we don’t agree with and destroy all their work?
How many women would say that they want Tate banned if anyone would ask for their opinion?I will give you an example of how me and my wife see Andrew Tate:
I am not really a big fan of his, I’ve just seen some videos with him on YouTube and he can be entertaining at times and has some good motivational speeches and advices.
He talks about how hard work can help you achieve great things in life and tries to inspire people, giving them advices and life lessons. Personally I don’t agree with everything he says, his views are sometimes off and after a while you get tired of listening to him.
My wife started laughing when she heard his comments about women. She never said to me that he should be cancelled or banned.
Se doesn’t watches any of his videos, doesn’t follow him and she doesn’t really care about him. He is just a rich guy with some strange opinions on YouTube for her.
I don’t know if banning him is the best decision to take.
It’s a dangerous road when you start cancelling everyone who you don’t agree with. Today was Andrew Tate, tomorrow could be you or me.This is not financial advice! The following post is only for informational purposes. We are not advising you how to spend your money. Do your own research before investing any money or you can choose not invest at all. We are not responsible for your choices in any way.
Even if we like it or not, money play a big role in our lives. It’s just the way things are and how our society works.
Some people like to say: “Money are not important to me”. Well, maybe you would like to think this one again because without money you wouldn’t have what to eat, drink or were to sleep. Everything rotates around money and we just need to accept it.
Probably what they’re really trying to say is that of course they care about money to pay the bills, buy food and live a normal life. What they don’t care about is to have a lot of money, which is different. It means they don’t have any ambitions.
In reality they do care about money, they go to work 5-6 days a week to receive money at the end of the month. If they wouldn’t care, they wouldn’t go to work and without having a job and no money, life is a bit complicated to say the least.
The majority of us, we have ambitions, we want a better life, we want to be able to afford nice holidays, luxury cars, a big house or expensive watches.
We spend a great part of our lives doing a job that we don’t like, earning a salary that barely covers the expenses. You can’t depend only on your salary, these days you must have multiple sources of income if you want to live a decent life.
Something worth mentioning is the fact that you don’t just invest 1000$ and instantly make a profit. You have to work for it because this is the only way to succeed in anything in life.
Secondly, one of the worst recommendations you can get online when looking for ways to invest some money is: “Invest in yourself”.
99% from the people who are looking for ways to invest their money in something and make a profit are looking for actual ways and not a thing that they knew already.
If they wanted to invest in themselves they would’ve googled: courses, qualifications, universities or “how to invest in yourself”. It’s a bit annoying when you see people recommending this.
The best 5 ways you can invest 1000$
1. For those who don’t mind waiting a year or two, criptocurencies can be a very good investment.
They’re price is down right now and can be bought very cheap. Criptocurencies are a risky investment and their price can crash in any moment.
Investing 1000£ now could bring a minimum of 2000£ – 3000£ profit when the market will recover.2. Investing in the stock market is not as profitable as investing in criptocurencies but it is much safer.
We’re talking here about buying stocks and holding on to them until their price goes up, nothing to complicated.
With a minimum of research you can find out what stocks to buy and how much profit you can make in one year.3. Selling on Amazon is still a profitable business and people manage to make a lot of money with this.
You can sell your own products( t-shirts, caps for example) or find a supplier, usually from China and order something that you think might sell.
Of course a lot of research and work needs to be put into all this projects. You don’t just wake up in one morning and decide to sell something on Amazon.4. Flipping shoes is a relatively new way of making money. It is a industry that is set to become a 6 billion dollars business in the years to come.
There are sites as StockX, GOAT, Stadium Goods, Depop where you can resell sneakers and make a profit.
Retailers like Nike, Adidas and others sell certain sneakers as “limited release” and when demand exceeds supply, people resell those sneakers for a profit.
Factors like size, supply, brand, collab or time of release are very important and influence the reselling price.
Some people manage to make a lot of money with this, thy use apps like Copdate or bots to avoid lines and secure very anticipated shoes drops.5. Starting an online store is another important way of making money.
You can choose to sell one or multiple products. It is pretty much the same like with selling on Amazon, with the difference that with an online store you will have to manage shipping, returns and other things yourself.
It’s true you get to keep more of the profits and with a good strategy this could be very profitable.
The same as with the rest of the ideas presented in this post, a thorough research and preparation is needed and also invest only the money you can afford losing.Other interesting posts:
7 DECISIONS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
CAN YOU BE SUCCESSFUL AND A GOOD FATHER AT THE SAME TIME?
Most of us know that is not enough to just want something. Hard work, dedication and perseverance are required for dreams to become reality.We all tend to say this sometimes: “I want to have this job”, “that car” or “that life” and we even believe it when we say it. Then we get upset when it never happens blaming it on bad luck or other things.
Usually the answer is hidden deep in our minds and we just need to be completely honest with ourselves and discover what is truly holding us back.
Maybe is not really what we want or could be that we don’t feel ready or deserving. It could be a lots of things and as soon as we discover what the issue is and fix it, we can then start persuading our dream with true determination and perseverance.
If you’re not happy with a normal life and you wish to achieve great things, this is what you need to do.
7 DECISIONS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
1. Write down your dreams and design the plan to bring them to life.
The plan needs to be achievable and a lot of hard work has to be put in designing it because your future depends on it.Make sure it’s what you really want, self sabotage is real and you need to be 100% prepared and focused if you really want to succeed.
2. Eliminate any distractions and unnecessary activities, you’ll have time to watch Netflix and your favourite YouTube shows later.
Try to stay focused, motivated and prepared to work the extra hours. You need to remember that you are the engine of all this and if you don’t care enough, nobody will care either.
3. Learn to be disciplined, it’s important to do things when they need to be done and not when you feel like doing them.
Being disciplined and consistent are essential in achieving your goals.
You need to be able to push through and maintain a high input every day regardless of what’s going on with or around you.4. Don’t pay too much attention to what others have to say about your ideas. People tend to fear what they don’t know.
The general perception is that everyone should have a 9 to 5 job and anyone who doesn’t want to do that for the rest of their life is looked as lazy or unadaptable.
This is until that person starts earning a lot of money. Then they become smart, self made, powerful and very interesting people.
5. It’s very important that during hard times or when a project fails to not give up.Keep your focus, stay consistent and find ways to overcome any difficulties or problems that may occur.
If you fail just learn the important lessons from this, do the necessary adjustments and try again. Sooner or later you will succeed.
6. Read at least one book every 2-3 months. It helps your mind to stay sharp, focused, more creative and of course, you learn new things.
Books are an important element in developing a strong mind. Try to make some time for reading. Someone once said: ” Books are for the brain what going to the gym is for the body”.
7. Take inspiration from the life stories, advices and knowledge of those who “made it”.
They could be famous people that you admire or just some successful individuals that are totally unknown to the public.
Their experiences and stories can prove to be very useful and inspiring.
We all got the power to decide what kind of life we want to have. Usually we choose the easy road not knowing we are capable of much greater things than what we settle for.

For as long as we know, man was the one who needed to provide for his family.
Thousands of years ago men used to go hunting for days and sometimes for weeks so they can bring food on the table for their families. Women had to stay home and take care of the house and children.Many sons and daughters had to grow without having a father around. This was accepted and understood by everyone because their father had to sacrifice the time spent with his family so he can make sure they had a place to sleep and what to eat.
Countless times in history, men had to go to war not knowing if they’re coming back to their families or not.
Many things have changed since those days while a few remained almost the same. Being a husband and a father comes with some responsibilities and it’s not because we learned it in school or anyone told us to do it.
This is something that’s deeply engraved in our DNA, we as men are programed to protect our families and to provide for them.Can you be successful and a good father at the same time?
Managing how many hours to spend working and how much time to stay with your family is not always an easy job. Many successful people failed to be good fathers because they spent most of their time working, probably thinking their children will have everything they need so they should live a happy life even if they don’t see their fathers too often.
The role of the father in a child’s life is very important and cannot be replaced by absolutely anyone else. How we are raised and what our parents teach us, stays with us our whole life and influences the way we see the world and how we interact with other people.
Not to mention the fact that children are much more happier when their parent acknowledges, play games and spends enough time with them. It’s know that kids look up to their dads, they try to copy everything they do and want to be like them. The important teachings and life lessons received from your father will stay with you forever and will guide your way through life.
Time passes so fast and we don’t even feel it until it’s too late. We are always under the false impression that we have time. “I will start from tomorrow”, “next week” or “next month” we usually say, forgetting to live more in the present and enjoy what we have now.
It’s not always an easy task to balance the time spent working and how much to stay with your child. Many get caught up with their work and things like wanting to be the best, trying to achieve different goals or having too many projects to work on, take their full attention and they start to spend less and less time with their families.
The important thing here is to never negotiate or lessen the time you spend with your child.
Wake up earlier, take shorter showers if you must, do everything you can to save more time for work and your projects without giving up any precious moments with your loved ones.
To give a quick answer to the question: Can you be successful and a good father at the same time?
The short answer is yes, you just need to put your child first and always make time for him, it’s that simple.THE CRIPTOCURRENCIES WORLD IS TREMBLING DOWN
At the beginning of the year everyone was talking about Bitcoin reaching 100 000$.
Many were doing videos explaining how Bitcoin will be worth hundreds of thousands in a year or two. A lot of things have changed since then and right now, they just hope it doesn’t go down any lower than it is right now.Some can say that the war started of all of this but it’s definitely not the only reason.
At the end of the day, when pressured or felling unsafe, people return to what they know and trust. In this case real money, real investments, real assets that people trust and can see with their own eyes.Criptocurencies are too volatile and their price can crash or go up in any moment, making them a very risky investment.
On the other hand, investing in gold, let’s say, or real estate has much better chances of bringing a profit after a while and doesn’t present as many risks as criptocurrencies do.There are many examples when, from various reasons like: fraud, scams, loss of traction or the developer facing personal problems, different criptocurencies totally collapsed and the people who invested their money in projects like this lost everything.
All the excitement around criptocurencies came from the fact that they are highly volatile and there is a chance of making a lot of money in a short period of time.
Probably a few invested in cryptocurrencies because they really belived in different projects and wanted to suport them.
On the other hand, the majority of people who invested in the past few years in the cripto market, did it just because they were looking for a way to get rich fast.The criptocurrencies world is trembling down
Recently a lot of famous people are taking out their money from cripto and invest them in something else. This is a clear sign that criptocurencies will not recover any time soon and the risks of losing even more money are very high for those who still have their savings invested in cripto.
What happened in the past few months with the criptocurencies market should raise some serious questions about how reliable they really are.
Everyone suddenly realised that, because of some news or an unexpected event, the price of this coins can crash exponentially.
There is a saying that you learn a lot about someone’s true character when is exposed to difficult times.
The same with the criptocurencies, if they’re value can be so seriously influenced by an event or some news, then maybe they doesn’t really represent a serious and reliable investment.Other interesting posts:

Styling products are useful, there’s no doubt about that. Most of the time they manage to keep your hair in the desired position, giving you a look that probably wouldn’t be achievable any other way.
What happens if sometimes you just don’t want to use any products and you’re looking for a more natural style?
You want to be able to put your hands through your hair without worrying you’re going to ruin the style or get a lot of pomade, clay or gel on your hands.How to style your hair without using any styling products
All you need to have a nice and clean hairstyle without using any products at all, are a decent hair dryer and a round brush for men.
The hair dryer
Before saying that’s it, you’re not interested because you are not going to use a hair dryer to style your hair. I’m going to share with you the fact that for more than 10 years I refused to use this method.
“Real men don’t use something like this to style their hair” I used to say.It was enough to eventually try it once to realise that it really works and there’s nothing wrong to use a hair dryer to style hair. It’s proven that hot air helps the hair to stay in the desired position and if used properly, doesn’t damage the hair at all.
Firstly just do a bit of research and find a hair dryer that fits your needs. Try to find one that has good reviews. It helps if it’s a well established brand. Usually established brands, specially the top ones make reliable hair dryers that have different features to protect the hair.
It’s never a good idea to buy a cheap hair dryer. Those things burn the hair and don’t even do the job properly.
When using a hair dryer you want to set the heat temperature and the speed of the air that comes out on a medium setting.Try to keep a distance of at least 15 cm between the dryer and your hair, using continuous motion, never insisting too much in one place.
Following this simple steps, you can do this every day without having to worry about the hair getting damaged.
Of course it’s recommended to give your hair a break when possible and keep it all natural from time to time. This helps the hair to repair itself and grow healthier.The brush
There are a lot of hair brushes for men available on the market right now. Try to choose the right one, depending on your hair type and the style you’re trying to achieve.As a starting point, you can try a quiff roller brush and see how it works for you. If for some reason, it’s not what you’re looking for just do a bit of online research and find the one that best suits your needs.
The technique of using the brush is also important and you can watch your barber to see how he does it or view some tutorials on YouTube. It’s nothing too complicated and you’ll be able to learn it in a couple of minutes.
After styling the hair with a hair dryer and a round brush, put the hair dryer away and just use the brush alone to bring it in the desired position. Your hair it’s going to stay like that for the rest of the day. As a top tip: always have a pocket comb with you and style the hair back into place when you feel it doesn’t look like it should.
This is an actual picture of myself and I didn’t use anything else than a hair dryer and a round brush It’s a nice feeling to carry a comb with you and using it feels somehow normal and manly. Makes you feel like a movie star from the 60s. You also get to enjoy a natural look without needing any pomade, gel or clay to keep your hair in place.

Conor Mcgregor vs Floyd Mayweather II
SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN ROMANIA 2022
Conor Mcgregor vs Floyd Mayweather Part Two
There have been many rumours about this for quite a while and it seems like both want it.
Floyd Mayweather is one of best boxers of all time and certainly the best of his generation.Conor on the other hand, changed MMA forever. His charismatic personality, talent on the microphone and of course his accomplishments inside the octagon made him the superstar he is today.
The only problem is that we already know how this goes. We’ve seen it already on 26th of August 2017 and a rematch is nothing more than a way for them to make more money.
Nobody in his right mind wants to see that fight again. The first time, not that people believed Conor can beat Floyd, but they wanted to see how he does against a great boxer. And he did pretty well, probably if he decided to follow a boxing career he would have been world champion.
It’s not a shame to be beaten by Floyd, he beat everyone and it’s hard to show your true potential against someone like him.Let’s say that they fight again and Conor beats Floyd, this still wouldn’t be relevant at all. Floyd is 45 years old now, and even in his last exhibition fights you could see that unfortunately time doesn’t forgive anyone. In this game, and most probably Floyd knows it also: if you stay too long, eventually you will be beat.
After their first fight we learned two things:
1. Floyd is a real master of the sport and in his illustrious career he’s beaten some former world champions worse than he beat Mcgregor.
2. Conor did much better than most expected but if they fight 20 time, Floyd wins every single fight. This is not because Conor is an unskilled boxer. It’s because Floyd is one of the best boxers in history.
Due to the fact they are both huge superstars, either one could fight a 60 years old bus driver and probably they would do decent numbers with the tickets sale and Pay-Per-Views buys. It wouldn’t come close to their first fight but it would do ok.
This boxing match between them doesn’t have any purpose or meaning. It’s only a way for them to make some money. No real fan of boxing would want to see Floyd Mayweather box let’s say a top ranked boxer. What do you think Canelo would do to him if they were to fight again?
Floyd is truly special and was the best this generation has had but he is 45 years old now and his body can’t do what it used to do 10 years ago. We just have to accept it and move on.
Even Conor, if let’s say he would beat Floyd this time, what positive things would he take from this? Would he be happy because he beat a 45 years old man? Could he have beaten him 10-15 years ago? Probably not.
They both should focus on other things and let this fight go. They have money, people love them. This fight doesn’t mean anything and nobody is really interested in seeing Conor Mcgregor Vs Floyd Mayweather part two.
SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN ROMANIA 2022
Starting a blog in theory doesn’t seem to be that hard. Everybody has Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and a lot of people post things online. So how hard could it be to create a blog and post things that you like there?
I’m here to say that contrary to what people will tell you online, starting a blog can present some challenges, specially if you’re totally new to this.
Creating the blog and publishing your first post is one part of the story. The other one is managing the site and trying to post regularly.
Recently I had some issues with my site, in the sense that I couldn’t reach it anymore. This problem lasted for 3-4 days and there were times when I thought I’ll never see it fixed again. Hours and hours were spent talking to the suport team.
I’ve talked to probably 20 different persons from Bluehost and most of them only managed to fix the problem momentarily. The site would work for an hour or two and after that crash again.
It was very frustrating and time consuming all of this. At one point I was considering closing the site and continue to focus more on the other projects that I have.
After 3 long days, one person from Bluehost managed to finally solve the problem and now the site is working fine. I still have that fear it could crash in any moment. I know that they fixed it and it’s ok now but probably some time needs to pass so I can forget about this horrible experience.
I wasn’t expecting all of this when I started. In my mind I thought that I will only focus on things to post and how to grow my blog.
Spending 3 long days trying to get the site back working wasn’t part of the plan.Another important aspect worth mentioning is that writing articles for this blog takes more time than expected.
Planning a subject and after that finding the right words to put it in writing takes time.
I don’t know if is the same for everybody, but for me it can take a day or two to finish a single blog post. Sometimes I spend even more than two days on a post.
My goal is to get to a level when I can write 2-3 articles a day.
Now, before you say that writing a article is not that difficult, I need to mention that if I had the whole day just for this I would probably be able to write 3 posts even now( it’s difficult but I belive I could do it). The problem is that I’m doing many other things during the day one of them being the fact that I still have a 12,5 hours/day job.It’s important for me to get to a level of writing, that when I have 40 minutes or an hour available, that’s all I need to write the article. I’m not quite there yet but I’m working on it.
This blogging adventure was planned as a 5 step process, this now being step 1. In a month or so, I believe it will be ready to begin step two.
Right now is important to be consistent and create as much content as possible, of course maintaining the normal quality of the site.
I didn’t think it’s going to be easy, so I’m prepared and ready to put in the work. It is exhausting at times and requires your full dedication, but in my mind there is not a single doubt that I will succeed in the end.Better time management is something that I have to work on.
I’ve always been quite good in managing my time and I never had any issues with it. At this point, considering the ammount of work and the large number of projects I have, time is beginning to be a problem. I have to plan my time to perfection so I can get as many things done in a day as possible.
It’s a work in progress and is not always perfect. The main focus points are to continue to improve each day and to develop new and healthy habits that can get me closer to my objectives.
