"This is the reason why so many randomly make kids without a plan. They live on hope that the child might become something and change their lives. So called black tax will not end anytime soon."

"The father will ruin the talent because he wants a lot of money 💰 in a short period of time 🤞. He must let the boy grow and expand his wings, then money 💵 will follow as the boy will get contracted to bigger leagues."
