The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to tackle the world to succeed. Travel more. Talk to people.

There’s a country in Africa called Togo that has been ruled by the same brutal family since 1967. It started with a coup, turned into a dictatorship and then became a dynasty. Protests are banned, elections are rigged, internet is shutdown because there’s political unrest, and dissenting voices are imprisoned. There hasn’t been real development. There’s also a 5 months old baby incarcerated with her mother because her mother chose to feed imprisoned political activists. While other countries are progressing Togo has been stagnant since 1967. #FreeTogo #FaureMustGo
