The difference between high knowledge Vs low knowledge in 4min... "Why would you save $ when they're printing $?" - This question can change so many lives, yet normies spend all their time watching movies, on tik-tok, and "saving" money. You guys here... Don't give up and it's just a matter of time you're financially free. Believe you can and stay the course. Improve every single day and the only thing you need to compare yourself with is your older self. Not with others. Each one is running his/her own marathon 🤝

🇮🇷 IAEA CHIEF: “YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SOLVE THIS… MILITARILY” IAEA Chief, Rafael Grossi: "Iran had a very vast, ambitious program, and part of it may still be there. The knowledge is there, the industrial capacity is there… Iran is a very sophisticated country in terms of nuclear technology. You cannot undo the knowledge that you have or the capacities that you have. You are not going to solve this in a definitive way militarily." Source: FaceTheNation

Do not use your energy to worry. Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing and do not let people bring you down. Study, think, create and grow. Teach yourself and teach others. —Professor Richard Feynman

🚨 MILTON FRIEDMAN: EFFICIENCY DROPS WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY "When you spend your own money on yourself, you're very careful of what you spend it on; when you spend your own money on somebody else, you're very careful that you don't spend too much. When you're spending the government's money on yourself, you're very careful that you get good things for your money. When you spend somebody else's money on somebody else, you're a distributor of welfare funds, and you're not going to be anything like as careful in spending somebody else's money on somebody else."

Never praise yourself or be arrogant about the knowledge you possess, for true knowledge humbles the soul and accompanies us only for as long as we honor it.

Karl Popper on How We Gain Knowledge: ––Karl Popper: "People think, usually, that we acquire knowledge by opening our eyes and our ears and let the sensations stream into us, and they believe then that we record this like a camera. In my opinion, if we wish to get knowledge, we have to have a problem. It has to be knowledge of something. We have to find out something. We don't have to wait for information to stream into us, but we have to be inquisitive if we want to get knowledge. If we were passive, we would gain a confused mass of sensations or something like that, which we would hardly be able to understand and to convert into what one may call knowledge. Quite apart from that, perception is not really, in my opinion, the main source of our knowledge. The role of perception is to inform us about a momentary situation in our environment. But we couldn't really interpret our perceptions without knowing much more about our environment, namely, we know whether we are in a house or whether we are in a glacier. So we have two kinds of knowledge: this wider knowledge of a frame in which we orientate ourselves, and the momentary perception which gives us information about the situation at that particular moment. And it is only this situation in which we can use our perception. So we have theoretical knowledge and, if you like, the momentary practical challenge to our theoretical knowledge. And here comes perception in."

People fall into 4 categories when it comes to wealth - the one with wealth & knowledge - the one with no wealth, but knowledge - the one with wealth, but no knowledge - the one with neither wealth nor knowledge In my opinion, we should aim to be the first That way we have not just knowledge, but increased resources at our disposal to spread and do good within and around ourselves May Allah grant us success in both worlds
