A peak life advice from Brian Armstrong:
“Action produces information. If you're unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if it's the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing. Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.”
There is a disturbing trend of young lawyers trying to be concise.
A 2nd-year drafted an executive summary for a banking client using bullet points and plain English.
She proudly stated that she reduced a 50-page compliance memo into a 2-page brief.
I asked her if she thought the client was paying $950 an hour for brevity.
She muttered something about respecting the CEO's time.
I explained that clients don't pay us to solve their problems quickly.
They pay us to make their problems look so incomprehensible that only we can solve them.
I made her rewrite the summary using dense, impenetrable legalese.
It took her 12 hours to bury the conclusion on page 42.
The client called me the next morning to thank us for our incredibly thorough analysis.
Clarity is a customer service concept.
We are in the business of intellectual intimidation.
In Japanese archery, there's a discipline called kyudo. The goal isn't to hit the target. The goal is to perfect the form. The belief is that if the archer's posture, breathing, and focus are correct, the arrow will find the target on its Own.
Apply that to your life. Stop obsessing over the result. Perfect the process. Fix your daily habits, your discipline, your mental clarity. Get those right, and the outcomes you're chasing will arrive without you forcing them.
“The brain needs regular exercise through learning and problem-solving to stay sharp, otherwise memory and focus can weaken over time.” — Dr. Ebow Daniels, Medical Director, Solis Hospital
He noted that overreliance on technology for information may reduce mental engagement, making it important to consistently challenge the brain through education, reading, and critical thinking.

You demanded. We engaged. @MTNGhana has responded.
Effective today, fibre broadband prices have crashed!
Previously, for a month of unlimited 100 Mbps broadband, you paid GHS 987. Today, for the same 100 Mbps, you pay GHS 299.
For GHS999, you get a 500 Mbps unlimited broadband package, and for GHS444, you get a 300 Mbps unlimited package.
I want to express my gratitude to the management and staff of MTN who have heeded our call for more affordable, stable and reliable fibre broadband. From the @MoCDTI, we will continue to push for better service packages for the Ghanaian people.
For God and Country. 🦁🇬🇭

You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.
There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.
Major cheat code for life: Leave people better than you found them. A kind word. A thoughtful question. A small encouragement. A little more belief than they had before. You never know which sentence becomes the one someone carries for years.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
A rule that will lower your anxiety: Don’t replay conversations you can’t change, and don’t pre-live ones that haven’t happened. Focus on the next right action. Most stress comes from living everywhere except the present.
