Big dreamer but only in his mind.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Making more friends is a goal.
