How does one succeed in life?

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Making more friends is a goal.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Do not set goals—set systems.

“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Who's your celebrity crush?

Living to your full potential is a goal.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
