Never done this before, but itโs worth a shot. Can we flood the replies with kind words for my wife?
Sheโs truly the best woman I know, and Iโd love for her to open X to a timeline full of love ๐ค
Returned a library book four years late yesterday.
The librarian scanned it, looked at her screen, then at me.
Her: This was due September 2019.
Me: I know.
Her: The fine is two hundred and forty dollars.
Me: I know.
Her: (pause)
Her: Why are you returning it now?
Me: I'm moving. Found it in a box. Couldn't leave town knowing I stole from the library.
Her: You didn't steal it. You borrowed it and forgot.
Me: For four years.
Her: What's the book?
Me: "How to Build Better Habits."
Her: (trying not to smile)
Her: The irony is not lost on me.
Me: Can I just pay the fine?
Her: We cap fines at fifty dollars. But I have to ask.....did you read it?
Me: Three times, actually. Kept meaning to return it.
Her: Did it work? The habits thing?
Me: (pause)
Me: I'm here, aren't I?
She waived the fine completely.
Her: Consider it a graduation gift.
Me: From what?
Her: From being the person who keeps things for four years.
I checked out a new book before leaving. She smiled when she scanned it.
Her: This one's due in three weeks.
Me: I'll have it back in two.
I did.
She looked genuinely shocked.
Her: Character growth.
Me: Told you the book worked.
Small victories.
But they count.
When the DG of the NLS was giving her speech and referenced or acknowledged her husband did you see that smirk or smile on her cheeks?
When the now, 33rd President elect of the NBA won the election, did you see that hug of warmth and kiss she shared with her husband?
Now where am I driving to?
2 things:
1. Marriage is such a beautiful thing when two people with brains in their heads decide to do it.
2. These women said they want to fly and their husbands said โhow high?โ
Do with this message what you would.
Hello Guys.
My name is Dr Davies Oluwadamilola Oghenerukevwe and if there's one thing you'll notice about me, it's that I don't fit into just one box. You can already see that from my name ๐๐
I'm an architect by profession, an academic by passion (parental influence) and a trader by obsession.
Architecture has taught me how to think, design, and solve complex problems. Academia keeps me curious and constantly learning. But you see trading?? Trading has challenged me in ways nothing else has, teaching me discipline, patience, emotional control. I think the only thing else that has probably taught me patience same as trading is MARRIAGE ๐
This page is where all three worlds meet.
I'll be sharing insights from my trading journey the wins, the losses, the lessons, and everything in between. I'll also talk about architecture, design, productivity, occasionally give you a glimpse into my academic journey and the ideas I'm exploring and finally a little bit about Marriage and family.
Trust me, I'm not here to pretend I know everything. I'm here to document the process, share what I learn, connect with people who value growth, and hopefully provide something useful along the way.
If you're interested in trading, architecture, learning, or simply watching someone build across different disciplines, you're in the right place I believe.
Let's build, learn, and grow together.
Ensure to follow, engage on my posts by sharing your thoughts and repost the content that resonates with you.
Thank you, Iโll be seeing you soon
The market does not reward stubbornness ๐
A lot of upcoming profitable like me๐ enter a trade, then become emotionally attached to it. Once price contradicts the setup, they stop analysing and start defending.
The better question is not:
โHow can I prove this trade is still right?โ
It is:
โWhat would tell me that this idea is no longer valid?โ
This lesson was inspired by @Techriztm.
Have you ever held a trade longer than you should because you wanted the market to agree with you?
Share what happened and what you learned.
Repost this for a trader who needs the reminder.
Cristiano Ronaldo saw the message of the Venezuelan boy who lost everything after the earthquake and he took action โค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐๐ผ
In addition to sending him words of encouragement, he invited Andrรฉs to meet him: โI want you to attend one of my games!โ.
Sending strenght and all best wishes to Andrรฉs ๐ญ
Do not let blind loyalty stop you from appreciating greatness. You can love Cristiano Ronaldo and still appreciate Lionel Messi.
Congratulations Lionel Messi.
The unforced show of strength by Arsenal in the past few days should leave no one in doubt about how big and elite a club Arsenal is despite not having UCL trophy.
Anyone still thinking Manchester City or Chelsea is a bigger clib than Arsenal should have their head checked.
It goes beyond trophy, it is pedigree.
Won the league. Reached a UCL final. Lost on pens. And rivals think I'm supposed to be SAD?
Bro I just had the greatest Arsenal season in my GENERATION.
Arsenal have never won the Champions League, yet you saw how many rival fans were celebrating their downfall yesterday. Not because Arsenal were defending a title, but simply because they didnโt want to see them succeed.
Thatโs a lesson for real life too. Some people wonโt wait for you to make it before they start rooting against you. Theyโll want you to fail before youโve even reached the top. Your job is to keep going and give them the opposite of what they wished for.
