Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

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

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