First to make a first class.
Bro Akeem sent me this email on 03 Dec 2005 (21 years ago), shortly after I resumed final year in Ife.
He wrote "please" 3X
Everything he advised here happened to be how my life turned out. Made life easy.
Went back to his email now; shed tears
@jawwwn_@60Minutes There is obviously no “degree” you can get from a university that actually teaches you how to make an orbital rocket, as none of the professors know how to do it!
That was a short-term loan when I ran out of money in 2008. He did not receive any equity for it.
Antonio’s ownership stems from absolute support, even when it looked like SpaceX would fail, and many investments over 2 decades.
One could not ask for a better friend. He is a great man.
Tiping your office security N1k for buying your lunch, is not you doing him a favour. He earned it. If e easy, stand up from your seat and go get the food yourself. Calculate the financial cost of the stress of going the distance to get the food and back.
If you want to do him a favour, give him money for no reason. Someone would do you a favour, but you would see yourslf as the one doing them a favour because you earn higher than them and don't respect them.
If you send money to your colleague that does the same work with you and asked them to please get you lunch on their way back from wherever they were going, you see it as them doing you a favour because you respect them. You don't see it as a favour done to you when it is done by the office security or cleaner because you don't respect them. If you treat these people well and respect them, they will be happy to do things for you. You've become entitled to their help that you now expect them to use their money to fund your lunch.
My security does errands for me, and every errand comes with a tip. That is thank you for doing this because it is not his job. Favour is when I give him money for no reason which happens often or when he has special needs and makes a request and I give him money. You need to start respecting people as human beings, not by how much they earn. This thing is a common problem in our society.
Interesting stuff...
