Conor McGregor, The Irish warrior.

Conor McGregor is a retired Irish mixed martial artist and professional boxer who is widely considered one of the greatest fighters in the history of both sports. McGregor rose to prominence in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he became the first fighter in the organization's history to hold titles in two different weight classes simultaneously. He later made the transition to professional boxing, where he famously fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in one of the highest-grossing boxing matches of all time.

Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1988, McGregor developed an interest in martial arts at a young age. He began training in boxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and eventually transitioned to mixed martial arts (MMA). McGregor made his professional MMA debut in 2008, and quickly gained a reputation as a formidable striker with excellent footwork and movement.

In 2013, McGregor signed with the UFC and made his debut in the organization at UFC on Fuel TV 9. He quickly became one of the organization's top stars, winning his first six fights and earning a shot at the featherweight title. In 2015, McGregor became the featherweight champion by defeating JosΓ© Aldo at UFC 194, and he followed this up by winning the lightweight title in 2016, becoming the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two different weight classes simultaneously.

In addition to his success in the UFC, McGregor also made the transition to professional boxing in 2017. He faced off against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a highly anticipated bout that was dubbed "The Money Fight." The fight generated over $400 million in revenue, making it one of the highest-grossing boxing matches in history.

Despite his impressive record and accomplishments, McGregor has also faced controversy and criticism throughout his career. He has faced criticism for his brash and often controversial trash-talking, and has faced legal issues related to his behavior outside of the ring.

In 2020, McGregor announced his retirement from MMA, but he has not ruled out the possibility of returning to the sport at some point in the future. Regardless of whether he decides to return to the ring, McGregor's impact on the world of combat sports is undeniable, and he will always be remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time.

How to gain self discipline πŸ‘©πŸ»‍πŸŽ“ and self control πŸ‘¨πŸ»‍πŸ’» 2023

The difference between having self-discipline and self-control is that the first is constant self-control and must be maintained even though this is not easy. We can see examples of self-discipline in athletes, who have to comply with their daily routines and diets to achieve success in their disciplines.

On the other hand, self-control refers to being able to stop ourselves when our impulses lead us to commit something that we know is wrong and can harm us. A clear case of self-control is when it comes time to stop drinking alcohol, there are many people who say they will only have 1 more drink, but this is almost never the case.

The two points may seem too similar but it is also easy to recognize the differences.

Gaining discipline and self-control can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are some tips that may help:
  • Set clear goals: Identify what you want to achieve and why it is important to you. Having clear goals can help you stay motivated and focused.
  • Make a plan: Break your goals down into smaller, actionable steps. Create a plan that outlines what you need to do to achieve each step and set deadlines for completing each task.
  • Establish routines: Establishing routines can help you develop discipline and stay on track. For example, you might set a specific time each day for working on a specific task or activity.
  • Eliminate distractions: Eliminating distractions can help you stay focused and avoid wasting time. This might include turning off your phone or finding a quiet, distraction-free workspace.
  • Seek accountability: Consider finding a accountability partner or mentor who can provide support and encouragement as you work to develop discipline.
  • Practice self-control: Practice self-control by making deliberate choices about how you spend your time and energy. This might involve saying no to activities or commitments that do not align with your goals.
  • Be patient and persistent: Gaining discipline takes time and effort, and it is normal to encounter setbacks along the way. Stay patient and persistent, and don't be too hard on yourself if you don't see immediate results.
  • Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness involves paying attention to your thoughts and feelings in the present moment, without judgment. Practicing mindfulness can help you gain self-control by increasing your awareness of your own thoughts and behaviors and helping you make more deliberate choices.
Remember that discipline is a skill that can be developed and improved over time. It may be helpful to start with small goals and work your way up to bigger challenges as you gain confidence and experience.
With self-discipline you can succeed in everything ― Cleric

Muhammad AliπŸ₯ŠI'ma Show You How Great I Am!πŸ₯‡

Today, we are going to talk about Cassius Clay, better known as Muhammad Ali.

Ali was a legendary boxer and cultural icon who is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. Nicknamed "The Greatest". Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in Louisville, Kentucky in 1942, Ali first gained fame as an Olympic gold medalist in 1960. He later turned professional and quickly rose to the top of the boxing world, becoming the heavyweight champion of the world at the age of 22. He was a leading heavyweight boxer of the 20th century and he remains the only three-time lineal champion of that division.

His joint records of beating 21 boxers for the world heavyweight title and winning 14 unified title bouts stood for 35 years.

Throughout his career, Ali was known for his extraordinary skill and speed in the ring, as well as his brash personality and confident demeanor. He was often referred to as "The Greatest," and his boxing matches were some of the most highly anticipated events in sports history.

In addition to his impressive career as a boxer, Ali was also known for his social and political activism. He was a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and refused to be drafted into the military, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to the war. This led to a ban on his boxing career, and he was stripped of his title and banned from the sport for several years.

Despite this setback, Ali remained a prominent figure in the world of sports and entertainment. He continued to speak out on social and political issues, and he used his fame and influence to promote a variety of causes, including civil rights, education, and health care.

In the 1980s, Ali made a comeback in the boxing world, winning several high-profile matches and reclaiming his title as the heavyweight champion of the world. He retired from boxing in 1981, but remained active as a philanthropist and public speaker.

Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984, which was believed to be a result of the many head injuries he sustained during his boxing career. Despite his declining health, he remained active in the public eye, appearing at various events and continuing to inspire others with his determination and positive attitude.

Muhammad Ali passed away in 2016 at the age of 74, but his legacy as a sports hero and cultural icon lives on. He is remembered not only for his impressive athletic achievements, but also for his courage, conviction, and charitable work.

Kobe Bryant: The Mamba Mentality

Kobe Bryant was a professional basketball player who spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was one of the most talented and successful players in NBA history, winning five NBA championships and being named to the All-NBA First Team 18 times.

Bryant was known for his incredible work ethic and his relentless drive to improve. He was a natural scorer and a fierce competitor, and he worked tirelessly to perfect his craft. His relentless pursuit of excellence made him one of the most respected and admired players in the league.


Kobe Bryant won a total of five NBA championships during his career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He won his first championship in 2000, and then went on to win three more championships in a row from 2001 to 2003. He won his fifth and final championship in 2010.


In addition to his five NBA championships, Kobe also won numerous individual awards and accolades throughout his career. These include being named to the All-NBA First Team 18 times, being named the NBA's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2008, and being named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team nine times. He was also a member of the Olympic gold medal-winning US national team in 2008 and 2012.


Kobe was known for his incredible work ethic and his relentless drive to succeed, and his numerous awards and accolades are a testament to his talent and dedication to the game of basketball.


Off the court, Bryant was known for his charitable work and his dedication to his family. He was deeply involved in the community and was a role model for young athletes everywhere.


Bryan vs Jordan

Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are two of the most iconic and successful players in NBA history. Both players are considered among the greatest to ever play the game, and they have had a lasting impact on the sport.


One of the biggest differences between Kobe and Jordan is their playing styles. Jordan was known for his incredible athleticism and his ability to finish at the rim with highlight-reel dunks. He was also a formidable perimeter shooter and a solid defender. Kobe, on the other hand, was more of a pure scorer who could create his own shot and hit tough shots from anywhere on the court. He was also known for his strong work ethic and his relentless drive to improve.


Another key difference between the two players is their team success. Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, while Kobe won five championships with the Lakers. Both players also won numerous individual awards and accolades throughout their careers.


Ultimately, it's difficult to say definitively who was better between Kobe and Jordan. Both players had incredible careers and made significant contributions to the game of basketball. Both will always be remembered as all-time greats.


Bryant's sudden and tragic death in 2020 shocked the world and brought an outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow players. His legacy will live on forever as a symbol of hard work, determination, and excellence.

Reprogramming your mind

 


Many times we have heard that people are subconsciously programmed according to our social class, this has some truth, but it does not mean that it is definitive. As part of a society, our status is normally defined by the return we give to the community, that is, the more our skills help solve bigger problems and the less people can do it, the greater the possibility that our income will be greater.

There are different areas in which we possibly have a lot of experience and that make us do well in our businesses, jobs, school, personal life, etc., but what if we trained ourselves to improve in the aspects in which we are not so good? How much would our quality of life improve if we dedicated a few hours a day to learning about other areas that are not familiar to us?

Some time ago I noticed that in my work as a programmer, after several years of experience, my way of thinking was totally related to the methodologies used in computing and that I had extensive knowledge in this field, but unfortunately when it came time to make my payments of taxes, knowing about traffic laws, trying to remodel my house by wanting to build infrastructure, improve my diet among other activities, I had no idea about almost anything. This made me understand that it is not enough to become experts in just one area, apart from being the expert in your field of work or business, you need to have at least basic knowledge in other important areas in life.

After trying to acquire knowledge in different ways, I understood that the best way is reading works by authors who have experience in the topics of my interest. That is to say, when trying to obtain knowledge about finances, the best idea I could have was to start reading about basic financial education, thus helping me to improve my economic situation and therefore give my family a better quality of life, thus motivating me to keep learning this way. Today there are more than 100 books that I have read from different areas with a very simple method.

The reason why many people don't read books is because they think they must do it in a forced way, it is intimidating to see a 500 page book and believe that you will never be able to finish it. 

The easiest way to finish this type of book is to take advantage of the fact that they are divided by chapters. Like most people, I am also very busy during the day and it is difficult for me to sit down and read a book without getting distracted by thinking about all the activities that I have pending. But at a certain point I noticed that no matter how busy I was, I was able to read at least one chapter a day. In this way, it did not seem so impossible to read a 500-page book divided into 26 chapters during a month that has 30 days, that is, I could read a chapter that took me between 20 and 60 minutes, after that it is possible to continue with other activities and repeat the process the next day. 

The most important thing in this method is consistency. Reading one chapter per day helps you improve comprehension, since there is not so much information, so you can retain the most important and apply the knowledge acquired during the day.

Regarding the topics I wanted to read, I was also interested in knowing about the world of investments, how it was possible that there were people who made enough money to guarantee the economic health of theirs and some other generations of their family and who did not even work a 9-5 schedule like most of people today.

Once I understood these issues at a basic level, I could understand what actions I had to take to achieve my goals.

Knowing about laws, whether they are traffic laws or for the purchase of real estate, payment of taxes, deduction of expenses, is something that I think everyone should know, however it is something that very few people take into account.

For these reasons, here are the list of books that I recommend you read to delve into other areas, from these books I have obtained good ideas that have helped me improve my way of thinking and reprogram my mind to lead a more enjoyable life

This list have helped me to understand in a different maner how does the life works, and no matter  whether you are young or adult, we all may live better and with less anguish generated by money, which, although it is not the source of happiness, is necessary to have the tranquility and freedom that we need.
