A man must be as self-reliant as possible. Asking for free help takes away from his dignity. Having something substantial to give in return of anything he receives is part of being self-reliant.

"Walk on your broken foot and leave no trace of your hand on anyone's shoulder."
- Fyodor Dostoevsky.

A man must work, tirelessly, to become a model of what he wants those under his leadership to become.

Initially, a man's words mean nothing. But only through his righteous actions do they gain weight to the point that his words mean everything.

Through action, he becomes a man of his word!

You win some, you lose some. But you keep going till your purpose is fulfilled. And your purpose lies in being of great use to those that depend on you. Once you know you have done the job to the point of developing someone to replace you, that's when you hang the boots and wait for your time to go.

The night is a hissing serpent
Crawling in the nearby shadows

I wear the cloak of indifference
Terrified deep down
My heart trembles
Yet my lips smile

For I am brave tonight
For those not as afraid as i
Their fear diminishing
Like a wax candle
All because they think I'm brave.

- Poet Berke

Thinking of taking screenshots of my threads on X and creating an archive here under one post. And then retiring my account on X completely.

Beautiful morning under the blue sky. Temperatures have risen, just like the winter sun. Some respite for the frost bitten and for those burning from within. The "laigmit" and the "daidmit" alike. The only thing taking the sheen (pun intended) away is that it's a monday.

I'll probably keep it light hearted here.

All the threads

Well this is nice
