This chapter introduces the Thumos Love Challenge as an educational course that takes students through their Thumoslang journey. All the unwanted drama in your life, including the lack of friends, is the black mountain of your social life. Your deliberate family is a long-lasting solution to the black mountain. Thumoslang is what it takes as it’s both the nomenclature for social life and the architecture of social logic.

Gate Two
One of the most important people in the development of Thumoslang is Ifeanyi Onyekaba, a 25-year-old father with a college degree in business. In 2019, he realized that, in his own words, “it hurts not knowing Thumoslang.” In other words, Thumoslang is not optional. Sooner or later, you will face the consequence of knowing or not knowing how to use Thumoslang in your life.
