1. If you suffer from insomnia or prefer working late at night, never send emails when you finish them. Use the "Schedule Send" feature to deliver them between 7:45 AM and 8:15 AM the next morning.
2. When a toxic or disorganized colleague gives you verbal instructions in a hallway or over a phone call, immediately follow up with a short email: "Hey [Name], just to make sure we are aligned on our chat just now, I will proceed with X, Y, and Z by Friday. Let me know if I missed anything!"
3. When dealing with a lazy colleague or a difficult external vendor who is delaying your project, never just send a direct email or WhatsApp message. Put the request in a formal email and copy (Cc) their direct supervisor, your own manager, and the project head.
4. Bring your lunch from home in a neat, professional food flask. When colleagues ask why you aren't joining the daily ₦5,000 to ₦10,000 order from restaurants like The Place or Mega Chicken, do not say you are saving money. Instead, use a health or lifestyle alibi: "My nutritionist put me on a very strict homemade meal plan for my fitness goals this quarter."
5. When an executive drops a random task on your desk and says "I need this ASAP," do not panic or drop your current work. Reply with: "I will get right on it, chief. Just to make sure I don't delay you, do you need this before the 2:00 PM management meeting, or can I deliver it by 4:30 PM before close of business?"
Lastly, If you want to build strong political capital with an influential coworker or a manager from another department, do not compliment them to their face. Instead, praise their work highly to someone else who you know is a loud office gossip or close friends with them.
The only option we have is to believe in ourselves, even when there is no evidence that we are going to make it.
Because the only thing standing between the life we have and the life we were born to live is our determination to see the finish line… and cross the finish line.
Believe in yourself so deeply that even rejection cannot bury you.
It is a mental thing.

My Bro/Sis, you see that thing you’ve been waiting on God for and almost thinking it would never happen, eh? very soon, much sooner than you think, It will happen. And you will come back to this particular tweet, to say “IT HAS HAPPENED.” IN JESUS’ NAME.
You are blessed !
@darkestgrey_ I always accept I am the only sane person on the road and all other drivers are not.
The level of patience needed to drive on some major roads in naija no be here.
