**🌿 From Couch to Code: How One Lazy Boy Became a CEO (Without the Hype)**


We’ve all been there: scrolling, procrastinating, telling ourselves, *“I’ll start tomorrow.”* But what if tomorrow never comes? Meet Rahat.  


**🚀 The Backstory**  

Rahat was *that* guy—the one glued to his couch, gaming for hours, dodging responsibilities. His family sighed, “When will he *do* something?” Even his mom’s gentle nudges (“Time won’t wait, beta”) were met with shrugs. Life was…comfortable. Until one moment flipped everything.  


**💡 The Wake-Up Call**  

At a family celebration for his sister’s achievement, a guest’s words hit him like lightning:  

*“If you don’t respect time, life won’t respect you.”*  

Ouch.  


That night, Rahat stared at the ceiling. *“What am I actually DOING with my life?”*  


**🔥 The Turnaround**  

No grand speeches. No overnight miracles. Just **tiny, stubborn steps**:  

☀️ **7 AM wake-ups** (even when his bed screamed *“5 more minutes!”*)  

📚 **30 minutes of coding daily** (free online courses + YouTube tutorials)  

💻 **Freelancing gigs** (even $10 projects felt like gold)  


It wasn’t pretty. Some days, he’d relapse into old habits. But slowly, momentum built.  


**✨ The Breakthrough**  

A year later, he handed his mom his first freelance earnings. Tears. Pride. *“This is for you.”*  


Fast-forward 5 years: **Rahat’s software company** now impacts thousands. His old friends ask, *“How’d you change so much?”*  


**🌱 His Mantra**  

*“Laziness is cozy…until it’s not. Start small. Let discipline compound.”*  


**Your Turn**  

You don’t need a “perfect plan.” Just **one tiny step** today. What’s yours?  


👇 **Drop a 🧠 below if this sparked something!**

The Man Who Invented The "Psychopath"?

The Man Who Invented the “Psychopath”? Hervey Cleckley, an influential psychiatrist, is often credited with shaping modern understandings of psychopathy, even though his original intent was to help rather than stigmatize those affected. His 1941 work, The Mask of Sanity, was pivotal, as it introduced the concept of the psychopath as a specific personality type with 16 distinct traits. Cleckley described individuals who seemed outwardly rational but exhibited shallow emotions, lacked empathy, and engaged in destructive behaviors, though often without malice. Cleckley’s perspective was initially sympathetic; he saw these individuals as “forgotten” by psychiatry—people who needed understanding and treatment. However, as psychopathy entered the public lexicon, the term was quickly associated with malice, violence, and even inhumanity. Cleckley’s nuanced portrait of the psychopath was adapted by later researchers like Robert Hare, who created the widely used Psychopathy Checklist, a t...
