Smoking is very bad, we all know it and you don’t need to be a scientist or a genius to know that inhaling some thick smoke inside your lungs, sooner or later is going to be detrimental to your health.
Most of us realise how unhealthy smoking is and despite this we find giving up cigarettes to be very challenging. The reason is not only because smokers get addicted to nicotine. It is also a psychological issue because the majority of people that smoke, enjoy the process of smoking a cigar, they believe it calms them and also deep down, they think it makes them look more interesting.
Like in the case of any addiction, giving up smoking is difficult and an important percent of the people that smoke, never manage to quit. They try all the recomanded methods and nothing works for them.
The vast majority of them understand that smoking is bad, in some cases maybe already caused some health problems. They just can’t quit because they enjoy it too much, it had become a habit, a part of their routine that can’t be replaced by anything else. Some manage to quit for a week or two, in some cases even 3-4 months and after they start smoking again.
The best way to give up smoking
Even though most smokers realise that smoking is bad for their health and quitting this addiction is the best solution, something is still preventing them from being able to quit and never start again.
These are some of best stop smoking treatments and they are know to work in some cases:
1. Nicotine replacement
Studies show that it doubles the quit-rate. There are many forms of nicotine replacements and we can enumerate only a few: patches, gum, nasal spray or a inhaler.
2. Varenicline (Champix)
Is a pill that does not contain nicotine and it works by stimulating the same parts of the brain as the nicotine. This way, the nicotine that comes from a cigarette will have very little effect because the varenicline is already there.
3. Bupropion (Ziban)
Is a medicine originally designed to treat depression and has been found to help people quit smoking. It is not clear exactly how it works and it’s thought to have an effect on the parts of the brain involved in addictive behaviour.
4. E-cigarettes
We all know them, are those electronic devices that imitate cigarettes. They deliver nicotine in a vapour, allowing you to inhale only the nicotine without most of the harmful substances as tar or carbon monoxide.
The best way to give up smoking and not a lot of people know about it, is this one:
Take a bit of time to meditate and reflect, be honest with yourself, try to open up and see how you really feel about this. Check why deep down in your subconscious you find it difficult to beat this addiction, and if you are completely honest and look deep enough, you will find the reason or reasons. Then all it’s left to do is to fix the problem and make a serious commitment to yourself that you will quit smoking for good. By doing this, you minimise the risk of self sabotage and have much better chances to quit cigarettes and never look back.
If you feel that you can’t do all this by your self, asking for professional support is always a good idea and can improve your chances of quitting.
We can achieve anything we want in life, this is not just a saying, it’s the truth and all it takes is to believe and do everything that depends on us to succeed.
If you decide you want to be a doctor and start following this path with determination and perseverance, you will become a doctor. Or if you decide you want to learn how to paint and dedicate your entire time to it, after a while you will be able to paint beautiful paintings.
The same when you decide to quit smoking and you’re firm and strong-willed, smoking doesn’t stand a chance. Combine this with one of the Stop smoking treatments mentioned earlier and soon smoking is going to be just a distant memory.Manchester United is definitely one of the biggest clubs in the world, in 2019 positioned itself as the world’s third most valuable football club, being worth an impressive £3.15 billion($3.81 billion). In 2016-2017 was the highest earning football club in the world, with a annual revenue of €676.3 milion.
It is also one of the most successful clubs in Europe in terms of trophies, they managed to win a record of 20 top-division titles since 1889. They won the FA Cup 12 times and are only surpassed by Arsenal who won it 13 times.
Internationally, they won the European Cup/UEFA Champions League three times, and the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup once each.THE MANCHESTER UNITED DILEMMA
Manchester United has millions of fans all around the world and in the recent years they didn’t have to many reasons to be happy, their team being just a shell of the team that was dominating Premier league 10-15 years ago.
There are some important problems that the club has and it seems that nobody it’s taking responsibility for them. Probably if you were to ask any Man United fan, they would be able to identify them easily and offer a few pertinent solutions.
Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, they just weren’t able to adjust and bring the suitable players or coaches to ensure that the team continues to be a force in the Premier league and in Europe.
What’s interesting is that they spent a lot of money each season, so it’s not a problem of not having money to buy the best players. It is more a problem of not having a reliable and well thought strategy to buy the best players that fit the Man United profile.
Who plans the transfers and how they decide which players they need?
There are a lot of talented players everywhere and it’s easy to buy the ones you like most. At a club as big as Manchester United, things should stay a bit different and a very smart strategy should be in place to ensure they bring players that can rise to the occasion and are able to perform at a club of this calibre.
Who ever is dealing with bringing new players should be replaced, if he wasn’t already and the management needs to find a “mastermind” that can plan and supervise all transfers. A person with great experience and knowledge that can create a strategy for the years to come. Right now, they just seem to buy random players and pay a lot of money for them also.Manchester United didn’t managed very well the transition period after Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement and failed to bring a capable manager that could fill the whole left by the legendary coach.
You need to have a vision and to know football when you’re taking this tipe of decisions that affect the entire outcome of how team will express itself in the future, if you do it wrong, you’ll have what’s happening now with the team.
For example look what a talented manager like Klopp managed to do with Liverpool in a few years and they don’t have nearly as much money as United.
The only capable manager manager that they managed to bring after Ferguson is Mourinho in 2016 and it seemed like he had to deal with some players that didn’t belong there.
He still won the UEFA Cup in 2017, which is the first one in Man United’s entire history and proves once again that he really is a “special one”.
Things didn’t go his way and was sacked by United in 2018 and this proves that sometimes it’s not enough to be the best manager, you got to have a few top players that can “carry” the team trough tough times.
A key element in making sure you sign the right football players is to look not only on how talented they are. To play at this level they need to have more than just their talent.
An example of a good method of selecting the right players and probably a lot of clubs use it, is this one:
After you made a list of 20-30 “talented” players ( the number can be lower or higher, doesn’t matter), it’s then time to analyse which ones are the alpha males, have the highest IQ, are the most physically gifted, which ones are the most disciplined and driven. In the end you’re left with 4-5 players that fit the profile and this ones have extremely high chances of confirming the expectations and making an impact on the team.
From all the players that Manchester United has, only a few fit this profile:1. David de Gea – excellent goalkeeper, one of the best in the world.
2. Bruno Fernandes – very good midfielder, a proper playmaker.
3. Carlos Henrique Casimiro, known as Casemiro – he proved what kind of a football player he is in the years spent at Real Madrid.
4. Lisandro Martínez – keep an eye on this one, he will be one of the leaders of the team in a few years and a fans’ favourite.
5. Scott Francis McTominay – he is a good midfielder and with a bit of confidence from his coaches and a injuries free couple of seasons, he can make a good impact on the team’s performances.
6. Antony Matheus dos Santos, simply known as Antony – great winger with a lot of potential.
7. Cristiano Ronaldo ( 7th position isn’t randomly chosen and is ment as a homage to one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game)
The reason why he is not scoring a lot of goals like in the previous season isn’t related to his age like some say and are more a series of events that influence his performance on the pitch: the death of his child, Manchester United failing to qualify for Champions league and him wanting to leave, the fact that his coach doesn’t know how to handle a big superstar and treats him like any 37 years old player.
The current manager
The new Dutch manager that is in charge of Manchester United at the moment hasn’t really proved too many good things since he came, and are some concerns about the fact if he can manage such a big club.
Looking at how they choose their managers and players, things are not going to get better for Man Utd any time soon. There are clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool or Chelsea, who do a far better job than them.
Bitcoin, the most know and valuable cryptocurrency in the world that operates free of any central control and doesn’t really on banks or governments, is dealing with a big decline in 2022 despite being worth an impressive $69,000 at the beginning of the year.
The digital currencie know as Bitcoin was created as a way for people to send and recive money over the internet without any intermediaries has come across an important rise in the recent years.
Of course the number one question is: Will Bitcoin be able to recover and surpass the $100,000 mark or it will go down even more.
At this precise time: 17:03, 5 of October 2022, Bitcoin costs 17,762.09GBP, that means 19,968.30USD and the danger here is that if it reaches £7000-£8000, there’s a risk for Bitcoin to collapse entirely and with it probably most of the cryptocurrencies.
Nobody really knows what will happen next and we can only try to do a logical analysis based on facts that we know already:
1. Bitcoin had periods like this in the past when after a big rise, a downfall followed.
2. This time it’s a bit different because we’re confronting with a world crisis, mostly because of the war in Ukraine.
3. If it’s going to recover, that will not happen any time soon.
4. The hopes of the people who have their money invested in it are focused on Bitcoin not falling even more.
5. The general perception is that sooner or later the cryptocurrencies market will recover.
6. If Bitcoin collapses, it might drag down the entire crypto world with it.
7. The confidence of the public in cryptocurrencies it’s not where it used to be. You cannot trust something so volatile and risk losing all your money.
8. For some reason, people seem to believe Bitcoin will recover in 2023, the same people also thought it will surpass $100 000 this year.
At the end of the day we just need to look at how we as humans really are and where were we 1000-2000 years ago.
It’s true that we evolved but we haven’t changed completely. Back then we used to trade things like meat, weapons, spices or metals. All these are physical goods, which means they can be physically touched and acquired to satisfy needs and desires.Bitcoin doesn’t have any of that and on top of it all it’s extremely volatile and the value of it could go up or down at any time.
Maybe some people are really into technology and that explains why they would put money into it. As for the rest of us, it’s hard to put our trust in something like cryptocurrencies after seeing how Bitcoin went from $69,000 to 17,000 in just a couple of months.
If you think about it, real money is what’s really behind cryptocurrencies, if we take the real money out of the equation, cryptocurrencies would be pretty much worthless.
A wiser decision would probably be to invest money in something less risky because with crypto things can go wrong in any moment. When trading cryptocurrencies you can do everything right and the next day something unexpected happens and the prices can drop exponentially. Basically you can go to bed a rich man and wake up poor.
There aren’t too many articles on Google saying what can also happen when investing in cryptocurrencies. Many people lost their money trading Bitcoin, Ethereum or other digital currencies and all this so called “experts” are saying how wonderful Bitcoin is and how is the future.
We’re going to shed some light on the matter concerning the mass adoption of Bitcoin and why so many people started investing in cryptocurrencies in the recent years.
The only reason why all this attention was focused on cryptocurrencies lately is because of the chance of making a lot of money fast.
It’s not because people think “it is the future” or because they believe in the project. They just saw a opportunity of making quick money and went for it.Unfortunately nobody told them to treat this more like a gamble than a reliable investment and many lost their money in the process.
The confidence of the general population in digital currencies, despite what you might think, it’s not that height and what recently happened to Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrencies didn’t helped making them more popular at all.
It will definitely be interesting to see how the world’s largest cryptocurrency reacts to the upcoming global recession and how much will be worth in 2-3 years.
Nobody knows what will happen in the near future and we need to do our research properly and be aware of everything that is going on when intending to invest in crypto.
Totally out of this context: does anyone else hates the word “bullish”? What a annoying word this can be.
Don’t ever trust a grown man who uses “bullish” when they’re talking about cryptocurrencies, haha 😂.* This is definitely not financial advice and are only the opinions of a person. Do your own research and don’t take anything you read here as a recommendation or investment guidance.

https://theofmavenue.co.uk/the-real-truth-about-cryptocurrencies-nobody-else-talks-about-this/
We’re going to start this post by sprinkling a bit of knowledge:
The first woman in history that drove a car over a long distance was Bertha Ringer, better known as Bertha Benz, the wife of Karl Benz, the founder of Mercedes Benz along with German engineer Gottlieb Daimler.
In 1888 Bertha Benz set a Guinness world record by driving a vehicle known as Benz Patent-Motorwagen for 106 km. Accompanied by her two sons, she drove from Mannheim city, her residence to Pforzheim where she was born.
Bertha took the car from the garage without Karl’s knowledge because he didn’t like to brag about his creations. Back then any carriage that was not pulled by a horse was considered “the work of sorcery and witchcraft”
According to some sources, Bertha spent three days in Pforzheim with her family and the car quickly became known, people calling it a miracle.CAN WOMEN REALLY DRIVE?
This question has been around for some time and there are a lot of jokes and funny stories about how bad women drive cars.
To answer this question, we have to keep in mind that to be good at anything, you have to like it, to be passionate about it.
Men love cars, they like driving them, they spend time to repair them and to learn what each part does and how everything works together. They also talk about cars all the time and it’s just more in their nature to be attracted to mechanical things.
Women on the other hand, the majority of them don’t enjoy driving that much, they don’t care about the car’s performance, how much horse power it’s got or if it’s petrol or diesel. They drive a car just because they need to go from point A to point B and that’s it.
The argument that women are not good at driving it’s not the whole story, it’s just like saying they are not good at football.
Of course they’re not, because they don’t like football, they don’t watch it or pay any attention to it.Also it would be wrong to say that all women can’t drive, because this is just not true, there are plenty of women out there that drive very well, some women drive trucks, tractors, bulldozers, buses or ambulances.
We all seen videos with ladies that don’t know how to park or do a mistake in traffic and we just need to keep in mind that these are exceptions and those ladies usually had a reason for what happened and it’s usually related with the lack of experience.
Let’s do a quick exercise: let’s imagine a women that is very passionate about cars, she likes driving very much and wants to know everything there is about cars (and by the way, there are many women like that out there). The chances of this woman being a good driver are very high because if you put time and effort in something you like, sooner or later, you are going to be good at it.
We’re not even going to insist too much on the fact that statistically men are more likely to to be involved in car crashes because of bad driving habits than women.
Studies show that men are twice as likely to be involved in a collision due to poor behaviour, inexperience, carelessness or being in a hurry.
Most of us know make fun sometimes of our girlfriend, wife or just a female friend because she doesn’t know how to drive and as long as we’re just teasing them, that’s ok. The problem is when you’re saying that “all women can’t drive” and you are serious about it, that’s just not true and it can be easily proven.
A fact not known by too many people is that women used to compete in Formula1. Lella Lombardi is the last female driver to ever take part in a F1 event. She drove her Brabham-Ford at the Austrian Grand Prix in 1976 and managed to finish 12th.
There have been efforts in the recent years to encourage and find female talent that can compete in Formula1 and the most recent female appearances have been confined to practice sessions or failure to qualify.
One of the reasons why there are not more female drivers in motorsport is that 99% of the kids who chose to follow a path in this direction are males. You don’t see to many litle girls that want to be a F1 driver when they grow up.
To answer to our question once and for all: Can women drive?
The answer is yes, they can drive cars very well. If you think otherwise, you need to wake up, you’re not in 1920.

As a man, is probably not a very good idea to be too much into fashion and only wear clothes that are popular or trending without really considering if those clothes match your style or not. Just because a clothing article is trending and everybody is wearing it, this doesn’t necessarily mean that it will look good on every single person who wears it.
A few years ago lots of people were wearing those Beanie hats: indoors, outdoors, tv shows or podcasts, you couldn’t escape “the beanie”.
Some of the guys who wore it, they just looked weird and you couldn’t avoid asking yourself: “Why do you need to wear that? What use does it serve and why everyone is wearing the same thing now?
We are indoors, you’re wearing a t-shirt and skinny jeans and you have a beanie on your head. Something is definitely off here! Tomorrow if the fashionable thing to do will be to wear a sausage around your neck, you’re going to do that as well?”It’s more important to develop your own style and wear clothes that you like and in which you feel comfortable, making sure they fit well and look good on you.
Plus, copying everything that others do is never cool.Another common mistake is to think that simply because you buy something from a famous brand (usually paying a lot of money for it) that automatically will look very nice on you. There’s a lot to be talked about this subject because if you purchase something from “Gucci” let’s say, and it’s very ugly, but it has Gucci written all over it. Some people will say they like it simply because it has the name Gucci.
But if you remove the name and they don’t longer know who made it, the same people will say it’s ugly. So it’s important to know the difference between these two and choose to wear quality things that look and also feel good.
ARE SKINNY JEANS STILL IN STYLE?
Men always found tight-fitting trousers fashionable and there are many proofs of this dating all the way back to 1660s when tight breeches first became fashionable.
During the restoration era, the tighter breeches were introduced to England and the rest of Europe because the cut was deemed more flattering to the leg.One of the biggest celebrities, Elvis Presley wore slim fitting jeans back in 1950s and numerous rock bands and musicians from the 1960s like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan, preferred drainpipe jeans.
In 2008 the skinny jeans for men were introduced to the public and became the norm by 2009. They entered the mainstream fashion in 2011 and remained popular since then, becoming one of the decade’s defining fashion pieces.
Some like to say they’re out of style starting from 2020 and it’s true that people don’t wear them as much like they used to, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. There was a time when everyone was wearing skinny jeans, even those who don’t have any business in wearing something like this.
Now skinny jeans represent just a option in your drawer and if you choose to wear them, that’s perfectly fine. No one will stare, laugh or point fingers.Skinny jeans are still in style if worn correctly, and here we’re talking about specially the classic ones, the super skinny jeans are a bit too much and they should be avoided by most men these days.
It’s not very pleasant for the eye to see a fully grown man wearing something that tight on him, it just doesn’t look good.If you’re fit and you know how to choose the right pair of skinny jeans (not to tight on the leg) there’s really no problem in wearing them in 2022. Many find skinny jeans very comfortable to wear and it’s a style that is not going away any time soon.
It is also important to have some diversity in your wardrobe and not really on just one or two types of clothing articles. Even though it’s still ok to wear skinny jeans regardless of what anyone says, if you wear just this every day, it might be a little too much.
Having options is good and depending on the occasion, you can choose to wear: joggers, slim fit pants, tracksuit bottoms, regular jeans, chinos, corduroy, relaxed fit trousers and many more other types of pants designed for men.
It is said that fashion trends circle back every two decades. Just twenty years are enough time for a trend to become popular, slowly fade away for long enough to be forgotten, and return again under a new interpretation.
We live different times now than 50 – 70 years ago, the rise of the internet and social media changed things a bit and tight fitting clothes that complement a nice body are not going away that easily. Skinny jeans are not as popular like they used to be a few years ago but they’re still in the top of people’s preferences.

TOP 8 MOST ANTICIPATED FIGHTS SCHEDULED TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR
- by: OFM
- Posted on: August 31, 2022 At 11:49 pm
- 0 Comment
This are the most important fights from boxing and mma that will take place in the remaining months of 2022
1. Andy Ruiz vs Luis Ortiz (Heavyweight) September 4, LA, USA – Crypto Arena, All Haymon – PBC.
This is a fun fight to watch even though Luiz Ortiz is 43 years old and we don’t really know how he will perform against the former unified heavyweight world champion, Andy Ruiz (32).
Since he lost the titles in the rematch against Joshua, Ruiz fought only once, managing to beat Chris Arreola by Unanimous Decision in 2021.2. Khamzat Chimaev vs Nate Diaz
UFC 279, September 10, T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, USA.This could be the last time we see Nate Diaz in the UFC. It’s the last fight on his contract and it doesn’t look like he wants to sign another one. He is facing the new rising star of the UFC, Khamzat Chimaev and this fight will most probably live up to the expectations.
3. Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin 3 (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO Super-Middleweight Titles)
September, T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, USA, Eddie Hearn – Matchroom.It’s interesting how Canelo Alvarez will look after his surprising loss to Bivol. He was undefeated since 2013 when he lost to Floyd Mayweather and managed some impressive wins in the years that followed. This fight will settle once and for all who is the better fighter.Triple G has 44 professional fights and 42 wins. His perfect record was ruined by Canelo in their previous two fights, the first one ending in a draw and the second one being won by Canelo Alvarez.
4. Joe Joyce vs Joseph Parker (Heavyweight)
September 24, Manchester Arena, Manchester, UK, Frank Warren – Queensberry.For Parker, a former Heavyweight world champion (WBO 2016 – 2018) this will be a important test, he is facing the new “rising star” of the heavyweight division Joe Joyce from England. A bit surprising is the fact that Joyce is 36 years old, while Parker is only 30. We knew Joseph Parker for quite a while and we expected that the newer face in boxing, Joyce would be younger or at least the same age like Parker.
5. Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn (157lbs Catchweight)
October 8, O2 Arena, London, UK – Eddie Hearn – MatchroomAnother fun fight between an established top boxer: Chris Eubank Jr (32) and a new prospect of the sport, the 25 years old: Conor Benn.
It’s a fight between the sons of two boxing legends and it’s interesting to see how they will perform, specially Benn who will face his biggest test so far.6. Devin Haney vs George Kambosos Jr 2 (WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO Lightweight Titles)
October 15, Melbourne, Australia – Bob Arum – Top RankAn exciting rematch after Devin Haney beat George Kambosos Jr via unanimous decision in June 2022, becoming the first undisputed champion at Lightweight since the four belt era started.
Haney declared that he expects Kambosos to come to fight and give his all, even more than in the first fight. The American sees this as a good opportunity to showcase his skills even more and promised to be even better this time around.7.Deontay Wilder vs Robert Helenius (Heavyweight)
October 15, at Barclays Center, New York – Al Haymon – PBCThe comeback fight of the Bronze Bomber after the two brutal losses against Tyson Fury.
Before the Fury fights he was considered one of the best knockout artists in history and had a perfect record managing to KO most of his adversaries. It will be interesting to see him in the ring against a adversary other than Fury.8. Charles Oliveira vs Islam Makhachev (Title fight)
UFC 280, October 22, Etihad Arena, Yas Island/Yas West United Arab Emirates.We all know how Charles lost the title even though he won the fight against Justin Gaethje on May 7 this year. In the eyes of many he is still the champion in the Lightweight division. His opponent, Islam Makhachev, has been compared many times to Khabib and we all want to see him against a top level adversary.
9. Israel Adesanya vs Alex Pereira
UFC, November 12, Madison Square Garden, New York, USAA very anticipated fight between two fingers who know each other very well. They competed against each other in kickboxing and Alex Pereira defeated Adesanya twice, once by unanimous decision and once by KO.
Israel Adesanya has been dominating the Middleweight division since 2019 when he won the title against Robert Whittaker and he is now one of the biggest stars in the UFC.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.

We have UFC 278 this Sunday and we’ll only focus on the 3 most interesting fights on the card:
Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards
Paolo Costa vs Luke Rockhold
Jose Aldo vs Merab DvalishviliKamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards 2
Not very many people are curious to see this fight. There is no excitement around it as we all know how their first fight went.
Usman beat Edwards decisively in 2015 and if he was able to dominate him even 7 years ago and win the decision, now when his striking is on a very high level as well, how does Edwards really stand a chance?
Of course, it’s fighting and anything can happen. Leon can land a lucky punch and knock Usman out. This is very unlikely to happen because Usman is the champion for a reason. He’s coming after a decisive win over Colby Covington, arguably his toughest adversary so far and we don’t really know who can beat him at this point.
Usman is basically still in his prime, he has the wrestling advantage, his striking is now very good as well and we can expect another dominant performance from the champion.
Paolo Costa vs Luke Rockhold
Both fighters really need the win, they’re both coming off two loses and they really need to win this one.
For Luke Rockhold if he loses, it could be his last fight in the UFC. He is 37 and he already achieved everything he wanted in this sport. Another loss would just mean that even if he still wants’ it and enjoys to compete, his body just can’t do the things it used to do.
It’s very difficult to predict who’s going to win this fight. They’re both very spectacular and unpredictable fighters and either one can be the winner.
Costa is the favourite to win because he is much younger, he’s saying that he is in his prime now, and wouldn’t really surprise anyone if he got the win.Rockhold has been in some wars during his long mma career and we’ve seen lately that when he’s “touched'”, he usually doesn’t recover very well.
Probably it’s going to be a very entertaining and explosive fight and Rockhold does have a chance if he’s not hit with anything big in the first two rounds. He is quite capable to land something big on Costa and get a sensational win.
Jose Aldo vs Merab Dvalishvili
We all know Jose Aldo is a legend in this sport. You can just take a look at his resume and see how many fights he had and how many top fighters he beat. Specially in his incredible run from 2006 to 2014.
He was undefeated for 8 years and for a long time he was considered to be the greatest featherweight of all time.
Jose Aldo lost some momentum after the fight with Conor Mcgregor in 2015, winning 6 fights and losing 5 since then.He is still a dangerous fighter and looked very good in his last 3 fights, which he won.
His opponent, Merab Dvalishvili is a 31 years old Georgian, he’s been undefeated since 2018 and he managed a TKO win against Marlon Moraes in his last fight.
He is not very known to the general public and this is the most important fight he had so far. He is facing a true legend and probably it’s going to be a very fun fight to watch.Everyone knows that Aldo is a very skilled and durable fighter. It will be interesting to see how he approaches this fight and if he will manage to beat Dvalishvili he will probably be in the talks for a title fight next.
It’s not a easy fight for Aldo, he will have to bring his A game in order to win.As for Dvalishvili, if he beats Aldo he will secure a 8 fights win strike. He is number 6 now and with a win over Aldo he will be in the top 5 Bantamweight fighters in the world.

CAN YOU BE SUCCESSFUL AND A GOOD FATHER AT THE SAME TIME?

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:

HOW TO STYLE YOUR HAIR WITHOUT USING ANY STYLING PRODUCTS
- by: OFM
- Posted on: August 11, 2022 At 9:16 pm
- 0 Comment
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.
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.

As I said before, I’m from Romania and for the past 7 years I’ve been living in the UK.
Recently I travelled to Romania to visit my mother, brother and the remaining grandparents. I’ve spent almost 3 weeks there and I got to spend time with my dear ones and I also travelled a bit and visited some really nice places. I needed some time off and this holidays came at the perfect time.SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN ROMANIA 2022
For those of you who still think Romania is a very poor country and most probably would be very bad to live there, I would like to let them know that it’s actually a very nice country, with lots of beautiful places.
You can go and visit the sea, it called The Black Sea and they have beautiful beaches that can match or perhaps outdo many of the well known beaches in the world. If you fancy the mountains area better, you can go to the Carpathian Mountains, which form a 1,500 km long range in Europe and more than half of this range is on Romania’s territory. They have lots of beautiful places to choose from and if you want to visit Romania in the winter, you can go skiing if you’re into that.
I’m not going to enumerate all the beautiful places to visit in Romania because there are quite a few and would take forever.My native town is called Craiova, has a population of almost 300 000 people and is situated in the south of the country.The weather in these 3 weeks was very hot, with a average of 34°-35°C.
After spending a week at home and visited all our dear ones, we decided to go somewhere to relax for a couple of days.
Because I have a small child, he’s 18 months now, I didn’t wanted to go somewhere too far. It needed to be maximum 2 hours away with a car from where I was staying( my parents house). For example if I wanted to go to the sea, it would have taken me 5 hours to get there, which is a bit to much for him. He can manage two hours in the car but definitely not five.In this case, I’ve chosen some nice places that were only 2 hours away and I’ll share my thoughts and impressions about how it was and what places we visited.
Firstly, let me mention this now in case I forget later: In 3 weeks in Romania, I’ve seen some of the most expensive cars in the world, we’re talking here about Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley and of course all sorts of Audi, Bmw and Mercedes. The romanians apparently are doing quite well, which is nice to see.For our first two days we chosen a beautiful place, it’s called Forest House and as the name suggests, they have many wooden houses built in a forest around a lake.
They also got an outdoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and the view is beautiful.
The food was very good and we really enjoyed our time there. On the second day, we visited the area around and we discovered some really nice places.
After two days was time to leave the Forest House and for our next destination we picked a place with a rich touristic history, exactly two hours away, named Baile Herculane.
We stayed at a nice hotel named Grand Hotel Minerva Resort and Spa.
After we checked in and left our luggage in the room, we went out for a walk and to find a nice place to eat. We found it after around 30 minutes, thanks to Google maps and this place was called Greek Pizzeria Dimitrios. They have a really good pizza there, probably one of the best I’ve ever had to be honest.
Later on, we went back to the hotel and spent some time at their swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna facility.
The next morning, of course we missed breakfast at the hotel. For some reason they finish with the breakfast at 10 AM and we went there around 10:30 AM. To continue on a funny note, we then went to a local restaurant in Baile Herculane to eat something and they couldn’t give us what we ordered because they still were serving breakfast stuff till 12 o’clock. We managed to sort it out in the end and everyone was happy.
After 3 days was time to go home and as planned, it took us only two hours.Few random pictures I took on our short trip.

The sleeveless T-shirt is that clothing article that is not actually a T-shirt but is not a Tank Top either. It’s porpoise on planet Earth is still unknown and despite the fact it’s absolutely pointless, some people continue to buy and wear it proudly on the street.
If you’re not The Rock or a very muscular person, you shouldn’t have something like this in your wardrobe.
The only time when is ok to wear it, is when you’re going to the gym or if you recently started to take boxing lessons.
We can add one more category of people that can wear a sleeveless T-shirt in the middle of the day and get away with it and those are the guys with lots of tattoos on their arms.
But if you are in your 40s – 50s, you’re not in shape and you drive a Fiat Doblo, please don’t wear this!
There’s no reason at all to go for such an extreme approach.
Wear a tank top instead if it you want, it’s much better.
These are just a few examples of the situations when is actually ok to wear a sleeveless T-shirt:– Going fishing ✔️
– Working in constructions ✔️
– Doing work in the garden ✔️
– Doing a barbecue ✔️
– Working on your car ✔️
– Cutting the grass ✔️
– Relaxing on the sofa ✔️
– Going to the gym ✔️
– Working as a security guard ✔️
If you’re not doing any of the above, then it’s probably a good idea not to wear a sleeveless T-shirt.

Episode 1
When you’re 25 you think that you’ll be like this forever and being old is such a far away concept you can’t even imagine it yet.
At 35 you finally realise that you possibly lived half of your life already. 40 is just around the corner and you panic because you always thought you will have time for everything you planned to do in life.
Suddenly, time is beginning to feel much more precious than 10 years ago.
If you still want to achieve great things in life, like you planned early on, you have to start now, there’s no time to waste!
The OFM Project Series
The motion has to start from you, it’s a long and hard road ahead make no mistake about it. You have to be prepared to fight for your dream and believe in it even when nobody else does.
Give it 100% every day, don’t cut corners, this is the time to push, you’ll rest later!
First, write down the plan of how you are going to achieve your goals. Put everything there : dates, sums, numbers, goals, years, etc( for example some people even wrote down the color, model and interior options of the car they’re going to buy when they will be rich). Give as many details as you can, and of course make sure your plan is achievable.
Once the plan is done, it’s time to put everything in motion. Don’t try to delay it or find excuses. Our minds sometimes work in mysterious ways and you need to take a closer look inside, have a sincere and open discussion with yourself and find out why you’re not doing everything you can to succeed, what’s holding you back?
There’s always a reason, you just need to be completely honest and ask the right questions, you’ll be surprised of what you can discover.
You always hear people telling their stories of how they got rich and what it took for them to get there. The difference is that me you’ll get to see it live.
Here’s what was done so far:1. This blog which was started from 0. A lot of hard work was put in to it, more than ever imagined. The target is to make it profitable in 5-7 months.
2. I tried cryptocurrencies trading for a couple of months and stopped when I realised it’s too much of a gamble. I only have a few coins left in my portfolio and I don’t really pay to much attention to this for the moment.
3. I’ve created two YouTube channels and already posted a few videos. Two more will be created next month. The channels are very different from each other. They have distinct topics and styles.
The goal is to make all of them profitable in one year.4. Affiliate marketing and creating an online store are planned to start in September.
5. Writing a book, investing in Real Estate and two-three other business are due to
start next year.
I will be keeping you updated with the progress made and the difficulties and problems encountered on the way.
The target is to become a multi millionaire in 3 years, starting from basically zero. I don’t expect it to be easy, I’m prepared to work hard and overcome all challenges so I can turn my dream in reality.
Anyone can change their life around, you just need to be disciplined, work hard and really believe in your dream. People make the mistake to believe that rich people are smarter than them, well I’m here to tell you there not. They were just willing to follow their dreams all the way and they didn’t let anyone stop them.
Of course you need to put in the work and make sacrifices, there’s no other way, but if you really want it, sooner or later you will succeed. There’s really no limit to what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it.
One important thing to keep in mind is that sometimes it’s difficult to stay focused. Most people want to be rich of course but they are not willing to quit their routines and what makes them happy.
You need a bit of determination and strong will to come home from a hard day at work and instead of relaxing on the sofa and watching Netflix, you open your laptop and start working on your projects.
For some reason most of us believe we’ll have time later, ”it doesn’t really need to be right now”. We forget that life is very unpredictable and things can change in any moment.
We have to take advantage of every single day and try not to waste time on things that make us happy only for the moment.

Today we have an important subject for important times
We gonna talk about Beard and we’ll do that in rimes
It’s a nice exercise, you don’t want to miss it, it’s free
Let’s start with the beginning, how long should it be?Some like to have it long while others want it shorter
Personally I like my beard short, Nr.3 with my shaver
I trim it daily and I use a razor for the sides and neck
Takes 15 minutes, it’s easy and I just need to checkThat when I’m shaving my neck I don’t go to hight
I prefer a lower neck line, just looks and feels right
If you shave it too high, it will look weird and less full
Thrust me when I tell you, that style is not very coolFrom the sides I shave only a bit, I like a natural style
I don’t want some lines that you can see from a mile
After you finished, apply some aftershave, it feels nice
You can use what you like, mine is called Old SpiceApply Argan oil on your beard once or twice a week
Give it a good massage, this is the best technique
Your beard and skin will appreciate this so much
Their gonna be healthier and a lot softer to touchThe next step is not really for your beard but it’s good
Apply a moisturising cream on your face, you should
Use one that protects and hydrates your skin all day
Apply it in the morning, for me this is the best wayHope you enjoyed this post about trimming beard
Make sure to do it right or else it will look weird.Other posts: ⬇️
