Look man... people will not understand what you are saying, but I get it. I feel the same way about small suffering. If I have a choice of walking up stairs right next to an escalator, I take the stairs. If its well below freezing in Chicago, and I'm on the train station, I do not stand under those little heaters. None of this is major, but its choosing not to partake in the easiest or most pleasurable path at all times.
I remember a couple of years I was fasting and going on a hike with my wife and some friends. I happened to be the only fasting that day, because my wife was on her time of the month and the others were not Muslim. It was summer, so the days were ling and hot.... she asked me why I would do this hike while fasting. I told her, "A little bit of struggle never hurt anyone. It only makes you stronger." Also, I work a government job, so I need something to challenge me other than work so I lift heavy weights and do bjj.
Great message. Suffering makes you strong. We live in an era of weakness and overindulgence unlike any in human history. Weak men create weak times and I doubt that many Americans could handle what inevitably will happen. Hard times are always right around the corner. Prepare accordingly.

@@CoachZahabicoach, I’m surprised you don’t read more fiction. You make a great argument for the value of art to be a lie that tells the truth and yet seem to neglect it.

I’m often disappointed that many of my friends in philosophy are badly read in fiction, and my literature major friends badly read in philosophy. The two complement beautifully
4:55 unless your business is so large it’s “too big to fail”, then if you mess up you are just bailed out. We live in a world of socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor
BS my friend, every company you know now will eventually fail. History always repeats, although you there is truth in the low chance of failing when you are a very big company.
Has there ever been a company thats persisted since 0 AD? I dont think so lmao. Every country will fail, every nation, every company, every group they will all die out and be forgotten
Brother Firas, I've grown used to a very undisciplined and indulgent life and am very conscious of this. I realise this is the result of an accumulation of many small mistakes. Ive been trying to be more disciplined and less indulgent, however im having a lot of trouble building a routine again like I had pre covid, gym + fasting for one. Im trying to be patient with myself because I don't expect I can go back to that overnight, at the same time I feel like I take 1 step forward 2 steps back. What do you think? Am muslim and do pray, don't get up for fajr and pray when I wake up which has made it very clear to me that im living a bad life.
I see this as a spectrum rather than black or white. You need to train yourself to be tough, in whatever way that is expressed, so that when you need it, it is always there. I'm a little disappointed that you don't share the same ideals to your daughter. I believe, in life, everyone needs a degree of toughness to endure any kind of difficulties that may come up. However, I won't go as far as to no show sign of comfort. It's a balance. And the reality is that we don't live in the age of Spartans anymore, we haven't for many many years.
I definitely do share the same ideals with my daughter however I go about it in a very different way. Yes definitely a spectrum that needs to be balanced.
@@CoachZahabiwhy do you let your daughter eat luxurious foods but not your son's? From this video above you have quite clearly said that you are teaching your sons to be tough and disciplined but not your daughter. Are you teaching her to be overly reliant on men to provide her with resources? That is your prerogative as a father however it seems quite incompatible with larger culture
@@pjauthur9869 If his daughter gets married to a practicing Muslim like Zahabi himself, then she will never need to provide for her own. I think Zahabi is preparing her for that.
@@pjauthur9869 Yeah then she is in real trouble for the rest of her life. I guess her brothers will be responsible for everything related to her in case her husband is lacking.
I'd recommend the book "Blueprint" (Nicholas Christakis; non-fiction). It's a very complex scientific book but it paints a more nuanced picture of human social collectives and hierarchies, and how/when they emerge. "Lord of the Flies" is just one of the more grim potentialities of how we organize in human society. (Although it's undeniable that this case occurs far too often in human society).
I fully believe in this. My father gained success in my later teenage years and shared it with me, he allowed me many “croissant” as he allowed himself. I feel like my mindset weakened compared to the struggle I grew up with as I had not earned these luxuries my self. Took much work and struggle to regain the mind I had. Ps no judgment to my father, he grew up horribly and wanted to show me something better 🙏🏼
I understand the sentiment. I would make sure, as much as there is to learn from the Spartans, that there is a warning on the other side; most of their history and culture are gone. It was not essential for their way of life to preserve their ways for the future. The lesson today is to make sure that we are raising warriors instead of soldiers. Warriors innovate, soldiers obey. Soldiers fight from orders, warriors fight from principles. It is a difficult Way.
@@FreeFlocka-pk6hv either way, who cares? Every smart person knows every human has masculine and feminine. They maybe just didn't know how to express feminine.
I remember reading about a story where a group of boys actually got stranded on a deserted island, turns out they work together and didnt kill eachother at all!
It's kind of hilarious firas has a philosophy degree and misses the point of the book. There are good people on the island but they are weak. Piggy. The theme is that we need strong men with good values or evil will triumph. It's not about the fucking business world lmao.
Adding to your words, There is an Arabic say I remembered "أخشوشنوا فإن النعم لا تدوم." I think it means "Live a rough life because favors do not last forever."
I am very fascinated how much you know about my ancestors, sir. Especially that epic podcast you had with Joe Rogan years ago. I'd love to meet you as I've been in the special forces and we were taught the life of being a Spartan vs Athenian vs Macedonian. Love what you do, sir! Many thanks!
I disagree in letting women see suffering and enjoy spoils and not men. That's how we have such a misunderstanding in the first place even in our modern society. Let both learn and witness suffering in controlled doses so in adulthood they will have much better understanding.
Very insightful point about the soldier essentially going to do what the kids were doing on the island. I never made that connection myself from reading the book and watching the movie. As a former soldier myself who saw combat, I look back on it all now and see we were all just dumb kids.
I agree coach. The first time I had a real croissant was after I got out of the military. I still feel like I didn’t earn it, but it tasted damn good after waiting 26 years.
This is the only time I've felt something you said is completely absurd and baseless. 1) Croissant is not a "luxurious" food, it is a fairly plain breakfast bread which you have talked up far too much both here and to your sons. One day your son will achieve enough to receive a croissant, and he will say, "THAT'S IT???!" 2) Sparta was a slave society so please don't use Spartiatae as an example of being mentally tough. They didn't cook their own food, make their own clothes, work their own fields, forge their own swords and armor, stable their own horse, make their own beds, etc. They were outnumbered by the slaves whi waited on them hand-and-foot by as many as 50 to 1. If you study their history more closely you will find that, despite their few inspiring battles that have attained the status of legend, the Spartans had a losing record. Here is a link to a brief synopsis of some of the more famous of their many defeats: www.historyandheadlines.com/is-sparta-overrated-a-list-of-spartan-defeats/ They lost more battles than they won, and I ask you...where are they now? Conquered is where. Largely because of their extreme overdependence on slavery. What could possibly be more opulent than having a bunch of slaves do all the work you don't want to do? 3) THIS! ISN'T! SPARTA! *offers croissant* if I ever meet your kid I'm gonna give him a fucking croissant. What will you do to stop me? Kick my ass? This isn't Sparta, man...that's assault you would go to jail for a long time. A croissant, or even a thousand croissants, will have no such impact on your kids' development as your anxious fantasy would have you believe. 4) Just curious, what is GSP's take on the croissant? I usually find you insightful, but this is sheer nonsense. You say croissant makes a lad soft? Ok...PROVE IT.
Come to a capitalist country and you'll see no shortage of under-qualified yet cozily employed (and often over-payed) government employees. It's common, and that's to say nothing of the innumerable employees at private companies who enjoy the same advantages, often given to themselves and often with no oversight. Economic competition is indirect violence; It's whistling past the graveyard to think otherwise. It's the law of the jungle flipped upside down so that the weak-bodied are able to prevail. It's all built on words that people choose to follow. There should be an achievable middle ground, and I don't disagree with the sentiment of the title of the video, although I would contend that having the occasional croissant amidst a life of discipline is a perfectly acceptable way to experience what human culinary creativity has to offer. Otherwise you may as well just be gobbling gruel 24/7.
This is just stupid. The better philosophy is " Dont do anything your child can do by themself" My kids know that if they ask me for help, I will say try again, try to you make it. Now they see everything as practice and know that if you work hard you will get it right. As for candy, I give them fruit and nuts. And somethimes pastry..
Bro, let me give you a word of advice. When your kids grow up without poverty they will never have that thirst or hunger. Its hard life that makes a man (most have it on easy mode). When you never have to worry about the roof over you head makes a BIG difference (kids feel n see this)
Foraz is at his most ignorant (or should I say uneducated) when he tries to talk about socialism. He genuinely describes Canada as a socialist country. Perhaps someone in the chat can ask him for a definition of socialism... He seems to think that socialism is when you can't get fired from your government job lol
I worked in government in the IT sector, you're 100% right. You can't fire somebody for incompetence, unless they break a big law you're not going to get them out of there. You have to wait for people to retire and go through so much red tape and bureaucracy and middle management, it takes forever to improve their systems
This is weirdly Canadian. Firaz is Arabic enough to know the anti-Arab origins of the croissant in Larouuse's Gastronomique. Comme c'est français, dude. Lord of the Flies is such a radical example of British social criticism. That impossible synthesis of British and French is so Canadian. Or at least how I want to imagine Canadians to be.
Agreed. I am for free market capitalism, but if a society is 100% competition based with no safety net, it produces too much wealth gap and the downtrodden, ultimately leading to collapse in the form of revolution or societal depression. My home country South Korea is extremely competitive, and as a result it made economic miracle in the past half century, but the youth are burnt out and hopeless, leading to having the lowest child birth rate in the world. A healthy economy is one where everyone can utilize their unique strengths to contribute to society and themselves, both the competent/ambitious and those that aren't, relatively speaking.
at least u have good logic and spend time with the kids. my dad never got us anything good just cuz he didn't have those as a kid -_- i used to walk past nice restaurants just to smell the food and i'd be happy.
I talk about this often with my wife. We have government jobs and earn loads of money. Our young kids are treated like a princess and princes. They want for nothing. I know about the "Emperor's kids" that Firas has talked about. We are constantly trying to buildup our kids resilience but it's hard when we have so much. We both grew up modest and our kids will not know what modest will mean. Lucky them but I don't want them weak men!
I don't even have money to eat this week. It's so terrible living like this my mom and I are struggling and I am trying my best to take care of her but I am just so poor. I wish I just had money to eat this week.
@@zacheryjackson true man that's no good! Do you grow your own food? In my city, we have "pataka kai" which translate to food cupboard where people put in what they have and people in need take what is needed. I Hope your circumstances change! God bless you
Croissant is a French fighter with a brown belt. It's amazing so many blackbelts are getting beaten down to a pulp by someone way below their weight class. It's mind-bageling.
Croissaints was created to celebrate the defeat of the turks in vienna in 1678 (ish). So very well done, besides its a piece of shot. Tastes like nothing. Wasalmu aleikhom
this is too much and it fires back ...when your children reach the age of rebellion which is what every child go to ...they might choose that as their choice of rebellion ...a balanced mindful experience is better for them ...now İ am not saying rais them soft on the contrary discipline is the most important thing a child should learn but there should be an occasıonal softness to let them be balanced .... disciplined balanced upbringing creates best possible outcome
This pumped me up too much, went and threw a recently purchased box of croissants from Costco straight into the trash. My daughter is going to be pissed tomorrow.
I don't know about croissants, but i like the idea of what he is trying to say. introduce a little bit of suffering and discomfort to your life. It is one of the reasons I choose to work standing up. I try to make myself at home with that discomfort
Working standing up as a bizarre concept. Coming from like a labor background where we’re moving 8 to 10 hours a day lifting heavy stuff all day. Standing seems like the least you could do.
my dad raised me to be tougher but several failed relationships with unhealthy girls have broken me down into a more emotionally fragile person. I'm 33 and feel like I'll never have a family at this point... how could i even hope to be a good dad who can step in harm's way on behalf of his family?
I read Lord of the Flies when I was 12. It opened my eyes to the reality of our world. Soon after I read 1984 and Brave New World. I became jaded by age 14 😂.
I really don't get what you're trying to say here. Croissant? It's flour, butter, and heat. It's craft, it's very simple food... You love kitkats, which are made by billionnaires who absolutely ruin people's health, but , don't eat croissants, made by bakers who make a living by making bakery stuff, developped their craft over decades, and do it with love. "Why the hell would a young man eat croissant?" lol man, what the hell...? Why would a young man would eat spaghetti sauce then? Or well made dishes? Seafood?
@@Trysomieflexntjes Well. "why the hell would a young man eat a croissant" please, enlight me. The real challenge is to know when to have a delicious croissant, and when not. A truly well made croissant is art. You have to taste these fabulous things but know when to stop. If Firas's sons don't eat any candies at all, well, ok, I get it. Croissant are far better for your health than a slush or candies.

Here is a link to a brief synopsis of some of the more famous of their many defeats: www.historyandheadlines.com/is-sparta-overrated-a-list-of-spartan-defeats/
They lost more battles than they won, and I ask you...where are they now? Conquered is where. Largely because of their extreme overdependence on slavery. What could possibly be more opulent than having a bunch of slaves do all the work you don't want to do? 3) THIS! ISN'T! SPARTA! *offers croissant* if I ever meet your kid I'm gonna give him a fucking croissant. What will you do to stop me? Kick my ass? This isn't Sparta, man...that's assault you would go to jail for a long time. A croissant, or even a thousand croissants, will have no such impact on your kids' development as your anxious fantasy would have you believe. 4) Just curious, what is GSP's take on the croissant?
I usually find you insightful, but this is sheer nonsense. You say croissant makes a lad soft? Ok...PROVE IT.
Read “Sparta and its Law” by Eduardo Velasco. Very different take on Sparta. Superior men of superior stock
@@mecateman that sounds like the standard unresearched take on Sparta.
Wimpy philosopher: We don't eat Croissants because they weaken the mind.
Me, and intellectual: We don't eat Croissants because they're French.
Ouch that’s racist.

I understand your jealousy not everyone has the luck to be french 😔
Come to a capitalist country and you'll see no shortage of under-qualified yet cozily employed (and often over-payed) government employees. It's common, and that's to say nothing of the innumerable employees at private companies who enjoy the same advantages, often given to themselves and often with no oversight. Economic competition is indirect violence; It's whistling past the graveyard to think otherwise. It's the law of the jungle flipped upside down so that the weak-bodied are able to prevail. It's all built on words that people choose to follow. There should be an achievable middle ground, and I don't disagree with the sentiment of the title of the video, although I would contend that having the occasional croissant amidst a life of discipline is a perfectly acceptable way to experience what human culinary creativity has to offer. Otherwise you may as well just be gobbling gruel 24/7.
i love this, 99% of parents try to protect there kids, it’s not about protecting, it’s about preparing, especially for us boys.
I agree with your mindset but why are you giving them weak oatmeal.
Give them eggs and steak if you want them to be strong.
As usual, coach makes a lot of sense..
Just as good if not better advice than Jordan Peterson..
Bacon egg and cheese croissant addict here I need help
Oh yeah, Tim hortons all day lol
Showed the clip to my wife. She agreed. No croissants for our son^^ girls can indulge.
Makes no sense
This is just stupid. The better philosophy is " Dont do anything your child can do by themself" My kids know that if they ask me for help, I will say try again, try to you make it. Now they see everything as practice and know that if you work hard you will get it right. As for candy, I give them fruit and nuts. And somethimes pastry..
May allah protect this brother 🤲🏽
Now I feel bad - not only do I love croissants - I indulge in chocolate croissants!!!
Shame 😂
I was just looking for a book to read, thanks man, I also appreciate the talking about life philosophy
Bro, let me give you a word of advice. When your kids grow up without poverty they will never have that thirst or hunger. Its hard life that makes a man (most have it on easy mode). When you never have to worry about the roof over you head makes a BIG difference (kids feel n see this)
So what is the advice?
I would say that’s mostly true. I’ve also seen lots of people who both grew up rich and were very mentally and physically strong.
Foraz is at his most ignorant (or should I say uneducated) when he tries to talk about socialism. He genuinely describes Canada as a socialist country. Perhaps someone in the chat can ask him for a definition of socialism... He seems to think that socialism is when you can't get fired from your government job lol
I worked in government in the IT sector, you're 100% right. You can't fire somebody for incompetence, unless they break a big law you're not going to get them out of there. You have to wait for people to retire and go through so much red tape and bureaucracy and middle management, it takes forever to improve their systems
This video kept getting recommended to me and after 3 weeks im finally ready to listen to Firas tell me why I shouldnt eat croissants
The true Man is revealed.
In difficult times.
This is weirdly Canadian.
Firaz is Arabic enough to know the anti-Arab origins of the croissant in Larouuse's Gastronomique. Comme c'est français, dude.
Lord of the Flies is such a radical example of British social criticism.
That impossible synthesis of British and French is so Canadian. Or at least how I want to imagine Canadians to be.
Bros a good dad fr fr💪💪
This is the most hilarious serious rant on youtube. But he has a point. Which makes it a Classic clip
Professor firas all this talk of “cwoooisant” literally made me go out the next morning and buy one 🤦🏽♂️😂
I must say, you're like an older brother I never had, such gems! May Allah reward you for your efforts 🤲
Life is not 100% competition nor 100% communism. Life comprises competition and mutual help.
Agreed. I am for free market capitalism, but if a society is 100% competition based with no safety net, it produces too much wealth gap and the downtrodden, ultimately leading to collapse in the form of revolution or societal depression. My home country South Korea is extremely competitive, and as a result it made economic miracle in the past half century, but the youth are burnt out and hopeless, leading to having the lowest child birth rate in the world. A healthy economy is one where everyone can utilize their unique strengths to contribute to society and themselves, both the competent/ambitious and those that aren't, relatively speaking.
I agree we need to find a balance.
@@philjang747have you seen the alternative communism in North Korea on your neighbor . I would say the free market in the south is far better
@@Ace-xt8lvThey are no better
love these vids man
Mashallah......Ramadan Mubarak brother!
at least u have good logic and spend time with the kids. my dad never got us anything good just cuz he didn't have those as a kid -_-
i used to walk past nice restaurants just to smell the food and i'd be happy.
5:22 id like to add that some businesses depend on government subsidies and contacts. They are not the best or brightest. Its about who you know.
So brutally honest and hysterical at the same time. I can’t stop laughing 😂
I talk about this often with my wife. We have government jobs and earn loads of money. Our young kids are treated like a princess and princes. They want for nothing. I know about the "Emperor's kids" that Firas has talked about. We are constantly trying to buildup our kids resilience but it's hard when we have so much.
We both grew up modest and our kids will not know what modest will mean. Lucky them but I don't want them weak men!
I don't even have money to eat this week. It's so terrible living like this my mom and I are struggling and I am trying my best to take care of her but I am just so poor. I wish I just had money to eat this week.
@@zacheryjackson true man that's no good! Do you grow your own food? In my city, we have "pataka kai" which translate to food cupboard where people put in what they have and people in need take what is needed.
I Hope your circumstances change! God bless you
@@arama0010 thank u bless you
Croissant is a French fighter with a brown belt. It's amazing so many blackbelts are getting beaten down to a pulp by someone way below their weight class. It's mind-bageling.
Croissaints was created to celebrate the defeat of the turks in vienna in 1678 (ish).
So very well done, besides its a piece of shot. Tastes like nothing.

"The book is always better", truer words have never been spoken!
And yes, even, "The Godfather" is better as a book!
I hear you coach. I understand where you're coming from.
The autor of Lord of the flies was awarded with the nobel prize in literature
Firas in this video sounds like if Andrew Tate finished his degree lol.
this is too much and it fires back ...when your children reach the age of rebellion which is what every child go to ...they might choose that as their choice of rebellion ...a balanced mindful experience is better for them ...now İ am not saying rais them soft on the contrary discipline is the most important thing a child should learn but there should be an occasıonal softness to let them be balanced .... disciplined balanced upbringing creates best possible outcome
Coach firas, you're too good. I love watching your philosophy videos.
This pumped me up too much, went and threw a recently purchased box of croissants from Costco straight into the trash. My daughter is going to be pissed tomorrow.
you're a great father
I don't know about croissants, but i like the idea of what he is trying to say. introduce a little bit of suffering and discomfort to your life. It is one of the reasons I choose to work standing up. I try to make myself at home with that discomfort
make svre yov get enovgh rest as well
Working standing up as a bizarre concept. Coming from like a labor background where we’re moving 8 to 10 hours a day lifting heavy stuff all day. Standing seems like the least you could do.
@@felipetejeda7545 i have to agree
Ask old people about discomfort and how much it taught them. Surely taught them to bitch and moan very well how sick they are.
Croissants are a great source of pre-gym carbs.
I am laughing pretty hard about the way you describe what i am totally in for. Took me lots of years to realize that.
my dad raised me to be tougher but several failed relationships with unhealthy girls have broken me down into a more emotionally fragile person. I'm 33 and feel like I'll never have a family at this point... how could i even hope to be a good dad who can step in harm's way on behalf of his family?
Salam Alaikum Firas,
Let the boys have a croissant now and then coach they'll be fine.
takes a sip of his caramel vanilla macchiato
Just bit into a croissant as I refreshed and this popped up
haven't heard a better description of a croissant than this one
Coach, hope you’re well. Can you recommend any solid jiu jitsu dojos in London from a complete beginner (I did Kendo for a year)
I read Lord of the Flies when I was 12. It opened my eyes to the reality of our world. Soon after I read 1984 and Brave New World. I became jaded by age 14 😂.
Someone said that, "Ageing is the aggressive pursuit of comfort".
Soon as he said croissant i asked this chick to pass me one
He is right. You are what you eat. If you look at countries where men are generally lean you will find diet plays a part.
I love this, man. Awesome. I am glad I never liked sweets.
I learned children are communists from Coach Zahabi today 😅
I didn't "eat the croissant" until I was 39-40. I see his point, but it was also a miserable 40 years.
I really don't get what you're trying to say here. Croissant? It's flour, butter, and heat. It's craft, it's very simple food...
You love kitkats, which are made by billionnaires who absolutely ruin people's health, but , don't eat croissants, made by bakers who make a living by making bakery stuff, developped their craft over decades, and do it with love. "Why the hell would a young man eat croissant?" lol man, what the hell...? Why would a young man would eat spaghetti sauce then? Or well made dishes? Seafood?
You missed the message
@@Trysomieflexntjes Well. "why the hell would a young man eat a croissant" please, enlight me. The real challenge is to know when to have a delicious croissant, and when not. A truly well made croissant is art. You have to taste these fabulous things but know when to stop. If Firas's sons don't eat any candies at all, well, ok, I get it. Croissant are far better for your health than a slush or candies.
@@mat..n.7061 he talked about it :d
@@mat..n.7061dude lmao u didnt even watch the video did you
@@Whatdothenumbersmeane probably just read the title and now he wants to debate.
Everyone sneaking croissants in the Zahabi household.
Wow interesting analysis, read it a few years ago, but didnt really take it in the same way you have!

This works in the Canada and other places where life is easy. In Pakistan you take the comfort you can steal.
Fuck this hits hard. No more cheat meals
Fully agree. How do you dial back this concept to fit daughters?
The title got me laughing haha
This is the funniest Tristar video I have ever seen.
