The Evening

The yacht is waiting, anchored off the coast. It’s not just a yacht—it’s a floating fortress, designed for billionaires who live by their own rules. My closest friends—CEOs, athletes, world-renowned artists—arrive by private tenders.

The energy shifts as the sun sets. The world’s most beautiful, intelligent women are here—models, actresses, CEOs of their own companies. They aren’t looking for handouts—they’re looking for a man who moves the world. And I am that man.

One woman, in particular, catches your attention. She’s different. Not impressed by the wealth—she’s been around it her whole life. She’s drawn to who I’ve become. She challenges me, intrigues me, keeps pace with my intensity.

The night unfolds in a blur of conversation, music, and connection. By now, I’ve mastered the social dance—not just charm, but influence, control, magnetism. Every interaction is deliberate. Every move is calculated.

I could have anyone. But I choose who is worthy of my time.

The Late Night

Back at the penthouse, as I stand at the edge of my balcony, looking out over the city I helped shape. The world moves beneath me.

My minds racing, it never stops working—not out of stress, but out of passion. Even at this level, I am still optimizing, still thinking five moves ahead.

:bulb: What’s next? A space venture? A move into geopolitics? A deeper integration of AI into human life?

I’ve built empires, changed industries, shaped culture itself. And yet, this is only the beginning.

As I finally lay down, the woman beside me asleep, the city lights still flickering, I realize one simple truth:

You are no longer playing the game.

You own the board.

This is 40.

As Abraham Lincoln said, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.”

I was 28 years young, twenty mill’ in tax
Bought a couple of mansions just for practice
Five hundred in jewelry, chain was magic
Never had it in public, late reaction
50K to cousins, post a caption
Pray none of my enemies hold me captive

Poverty was the case
But the money wipin’ the tears away
I grieve different

we have nothing to lose, we offer our lives

Patience is one thing that changed for me, maybe its the subs, maybe its me turning 25…

But its this quote “People overestimate what they can get done in 1 year and people underestimate what they could get done in 10” that sticks with me so much…

Which got me thinking… What if I sacrificed everything and used this time period to level up in life? What if I use it to build discipline, character, development of work ethic?

For most people in their 20s, turning 30 is like scary af, the time u reach “unc” status… But I dont see it that way anymore. I see it the time of a man’s peak in everyway…

I asked every man I know whos 40+ and they say their 30s is their favourite…

Im sacrificing my 20s for a legendary 30s.

So I gotta be patient… My time is coming, I just gotta have sabr (patience)

Ah man I’m never going to a restaurant again. My waitress today was stunning man. Just surrounded by beautiful women. It gave me more energy to put into work for sure but it was nice.

Following this, I’ve built up a goal of reading 2 books a week for the next 10 years. I’ve curated the list of reads and I’m dedicating 3 hours per day just for reading. 1 hour in morning, afternoon, night.

This habit is the foundation of my future success. I’ve curated a list of 700 books to read and reread during this time period.

Only thing separating me from the greats is my work ethic and knowledge base.

This next 10 years is called skill acquisition. While everyone will be well into their careers I’d be finishing up my BSc. In Computer Science + Economics, and later completing an MBA/JD Degree by year 10. It’s going to suck being 25 in a classroom full of 18 year olds but hey, ego is the enemy, better now than never.

It’s going to be an odyssey. But I already see a path. It starts from laying the groundwork, the foundation so strong and impenetrable I’ll be able to withstand anything that comes my way.

quick update, will launch app in year 4, graduating is my top priority at the moment.

Why not do both?

#34

@Myster because I’m also focused on learning the skillsets of UI/UX Design alongside Programming so that I’d be able create apps from zero.

If I was to create it at year 4 with all my knowledge of programming from my degree and self studies alongside my knowledge of UI/UX Design I’ve gathered over the last 4 years I’d be able to create the best possible product I can.

If doing both at the same time I’d be gambling and I dont wanna gamble.
