There is only one objective truth in this world. What I am documenting below is the most important thing that every man should work towards every day and night in the extreme to live the most optimized life. Sometimes I wish to God that 18-year-old Shashank had this knowledge. How different he would have been! Pain, blood, and sweat were the price paid to get the below knowledge:
For us as men to climb the social hierarchy ladder, we must do the following (there are specific reasons for the below, but I will skip that as that is a topic for another post):
- Attain muscular 6-pack abs with an Adonis belt and a fully developed V taper.
- Attain the 500-pound (227 kg) deadlift in the gym. It is one of the highest symbols of physical strength that less than 0.001% of men on this planet ever reach.
- Ideally, you would have more than $100k in passive income per year. Otherwise, having an active income of greater than $100k is a must, but work should always be put in to converting this into a passive source.
- Ideally, you would have a minimalistic, geo-location-independent lifestyle.
- Have an optimal self-care routine for your face, hair, beard, overall body, etc.
- Attain an extremely high level of social competency and emotional intelligence.
- Develop very strong coding and software engineering skills, with the ability to create multiple end-to-end software products.
- Possess a wide range of talent in artistic skills, including dance, singing, painting, sculpting, etc.
- Mental strength is critically important. Breathe and live with a stoic mindset.
I agree that achieving a high level of competency in only 2-3 of the above points takes a lifetime of effort, but winners never give excuses; they get the job done. We are only as weak as our weakest link. Hence, achieving all of these simultaneously is extremely important, otherwise we will suffer as men.
