@RayDalio It is certainly a nice gesture of the Dells, but there will be no poverty in the future and so no need to save money.

There will be universal high income.

Indeed, zero-sum thinking is the root of so much envy and cynicism

The overeducated are worse off than the undereducated, having traded common sense for the illusion of knowledge.

You lose a lot of opportunities when you don't go outside.

Aliko Dangote started a telecommunication company and failed.

He also started a textile company and failed terribly.

He started a Dangote Airlines and failed a few months later.

He then started a tomato sauce factory that also failed after a few months of operation.

Aliko Dangote this time started Dangote Millers which he failed to maintain and ended up selling it to South African company for $200m before buying it back at half the price he sold it.

This time Dangote started Dangote cement which became his first successful business. Sugar business followed and so did oil refinery.

Failing doesn't mean you won't succeed, it means you're learning.

Subconscious Fact of the Day:

Repetition is how your mind learns. Not motivation. Not inspiration. Repetition. Do something consistently, and your subconscious accepts it as truth. That's how you reprogram.

A piece of advice a mentor told me that's stuck with me: “Decide what kind of life you actually want. And then say no to everything that isn't that.”

Marriage is a responsibility, not a calling.

It is not an institution of indulgence,

It is an institution of discipline, order and competence.

Any woman who lacks discipline should never be married. Let her suffer until the judgment day.

You condemn politicians for looting taxes while you sleep with other men's wives.

Hypocrites!

Jeff Bezos: "The difference between baseball and business is that baseball has a truncated outcome distribution. When you swing, no matter how well you connect with the ball, the most runs you can get is four. In business, every once in a while, when you step up to the plate, you can score 1,000 runs. This long-tailed distribution of returns is why it's important to be bold. Big winners pay for so many experiments."

Degrees are depreciating assets.

Specific knowledge is an appreciating asset.

Stop trying to master the things everyone knows and start mastering what isn't taught in the classroom.

Elon Musk on how he deals with running many different companies:

“Well, I have a lot of inbound communication, so it’s basically information triage. I try to segment my days to avoid too much context switching.

Because, arguably, fear isn’t the mind-killer—context switching is.

It’s hard not to context-switch when your inbox is full of stuff, but think about it: if you had to context-switch every three seconds, every thirty seconds, or even every three minutes, the cognitive penalty would be enormous.”

@GavinSBaker Fools are determined to be fools. Trying to stop them from being so is futile.

The interview hack still blows my mind. 🤯

It works for scholarship and job interviews.

So so good!!!

[God’s Daughter @IyeneomiOgoina]

This is exactly the point most Christians miss.
Elon Musk gave that reply because his level of knowledge, discipline, experience, and mental capacity is too high for him to ever fall that low again.

And that’s how God works with us.
He takes you through processes so that your capacity matches the destiny He wants to give you.
He does not drop people into greatness without building them first.

Everything Elon knows today came through years of learning, failures, pressure, and painful experiences that shaped him.
It wasn’t “luck.”
It wasn’t “just grace.”
Even grace operates through structure.

Look at scripture:
David was anointed at 17, but he fought lions, bears, Goliath, survived Saul, lived in caves, BEFORE the throne.
His process built capacity.

Joseph had a dream at 17, but betrayal, slavery, and prison prepared him for rulership.
His process built wisdom.

Moses spent 40 years in Egypt and 40 years in Midian before God used him.
His process built character.

Even Jesus did not begin ministry until 30.
His process built obedience (Hebrews 5:8).

God prepares people privately before lifting them publicly.

So when Elon said he would never fall to the bottom again, he wasn’t bragging -
he was explaining a universal law:

Once your mind changes, your life can never return to where it used to be.

And even if civilization collapsed, he said he’d simply ask people to give him money so he could multiply it; because his mind is trained to create value, not to beg or collapse.

This is exactly what spiritual growth should look like:
You grow in knowledge.
You grow in wisdom.
You grow in understanding.
You grow in capacity.
You grow in discipline.

And once you break through that process, you can never truly “go back” again.
