People will look at him and say ¨You see? Iâm glad Iâm not him. Poor guy.¨
Wrong. Dead wrong. Every single person who talks like that hasnât accomplished anything near what he did.
Just like Ronnie Coleman.
This dude has had multiple surgeries in recent years.
But this is all after he accomplished so much. You NEVER get something for nothing. People say they donât wanna end up like him. There are lots of people that end up in a wheelchair anyway, and they havenât done anything close to what heâs done.
But Ronnie Coleman has no regrets. He still lifts weights. He smiles. He can look back at his achievements with pride.
How many of us can do the same? Itâs not easy to reach such accolades. Heâs a world champion. And so is Kobayashi. Keep in mind the hot dog record was 25, and he ate 50. At the record level, anywhere, how often does it happen that a record gets DOUBLED?! We donât have to look it up to know that itâs a rare occurrence.
We often like to stay in our comfort zones, then we wonder why nothing changes; why we keep getting the same results.
Want the high reward? Pay the high price. Simple.

Just my opinion.
You rarely reap high rewards from doing something that can clearly ruin your body and have negative health effects for the rest of your life. Even though Ronnie accomplished a lot and considering how much he made from competing, was it worth it.
Itâs true that there are different types of prices you pay to be successful in life, but 99.9% of them donât require you to knowingly damage your body, which can seriously cripple you and impact your retirement enjoyment.
As a result, to be successful in this industry, you have to be willing to take substances that can cause serious health problems in the future. Also, By taking these substances, you are able to lift heavy weights and by lifting heavy weights that your body is not capable of lifting on its own, you are now creating a significant physical problem, as Ronnie Coleman illustrates.

RONNIE COLEMAN - I HAVE NO REGRETS
Heâs always in pain. He had twelve surgeries. He sacrified his life and health to bodybuilding.
But still train. He has no regrets and continue to prove that he loves what he does and will never stop working out

Are you a fan of that type of house?

Well, only a fool would say that house sucks. But as far as style, Iâm not that attracted to it. Victorian Era-esque architecture doesnât do it for me. For some reason, Europe itself never attracted me. Iâm not sure why.
The interior design seems so excessive to me. Instead of that, I prefer a simpler, more modern style. Just look at all the different crown moldings. The dusting and cleaning must be a real pain. It just seems like such a waste to me. The more I have, the more I have to clean.
Actually, this Spanish revival, as itâs called, is really nice. I like this a lot. The round structures especially.

You know what? Thinking about it again, I think I have more of a problem with the inside than the outside. I realized the outside corners are round just like that Spanish-style house that I like.
I just donât like the extras on the inside. All the details in the molding, on the walls, etc. It just makes me think of dusting and cleaning all those little nooks, and it seems annoying. So, cluttered.
For example, compare these two.
The second one seems less cluttered to me. I can relax more.
@SmallPaul What style do you prefer?
The entrance with those steps, and the backyard are my favourite. The kitchen is nice, but I didnât see any stove top burners. Thatâs my only dislike. But they have a brick oven, which is crazy. And the doors slide to extend the kitchen. Wow!
The backyard is like a resort! The only thing missing from the backyard is a fireplââŚnope. They have an outdoor fireplace, too. Some beanbag chairs would make it perfââŚnope. They have beanbags, too.
This house is perfect!!!

They outpriced their own citizens? How do you get so far without addressing affordability?
Wouldnât that be a question for first round plan drafting?
They donât want it to be a city for foreigners, but thatâs what itâs gonna have to be for now. Unless they can boost an entire class of citizensâ income over the next five yearsâŚ

Just my opinion.
As for being outpriced, I have seen videos of cities being too expensive for citizens while rich foreigners live there. I have no problem with rich foreigners moving to another country, but the citizens of that country should have a place to live.

I agree. Thatâs quite a complicated subject because that involves both the State government and local government. It depends on how the government allocates its resources. If they donât make education a priority, then how can citizens get higher-paying employment? Without a strong education system thereâs gonna be a serious lack of socio-economic mobilityâpeople wonât have the means.
That leaves a gap in employment, and greater income disparity. Lots of low-educated, unskilled labor; and a few well-off well educated, highly trained individuals.
Thatâs the governmentâs fault. Itâs not something that foreign investment can remedy.
Malaysia has a lot of work to do. But the potential is there.
Is that really a big problem? What percent of that given cityâs population is rich foreigners?
However, it does present the fact that ONLY foreigners can live there. So, upon witnessing that, local government should get into action. It might not be the result they want, but itâs certainly a red flag about their country, their people, and their economy. They should pay attention if theyâre only seeing foreigners there.

The major problem is that these cities are becoming too expensive and the lower paying jobs just canât afford to live there. There is no rent control or government assistance, so only the rich and wealthy foreigners can live there, then you hear about rich foreigners buying a lot of property and never living there

I hear you, but I think price control is a bad idea. That hinders the free market. If landlords are price gouging, then perhaps price control could be helpful.
I see the solution as, not necessarily forcing prices lower, but helping citizens improve so they have more financial resources.
Besides, if no one buys it, then demand is too low, and it will force prices down. Unless foreigners are willing to pay. But even if foreigners buy these apartments, there wonât be enough foreigners to buy ALL the apartments. The demand will still be low, and the market will force sellers to lower their priceâsomehow. And subsidizing is only a tiny fixânot a real solution.
The real fix is to educate the population, and help them strive for upward mobility.
There is a possibility that the Malaysian economy canât support Forest City. Perhaps the city shouldâve been a lot smaller. Meaning, thereâs just not enough money in the country to support that city.
@SmallPaul Do you think thatâs possible?
There will always be more low-paying jobs, and without them, the economic system would be broken, what do you mean by more financial resources?
