@UnkleAyo@oshiogy You mean better at singing? Coz there’s more to music than just vocals. With P-Square, some fans loved the sound, others loved the dance moves, but the majority loved the full package. One thing is certain , at every turn, Paul exposed this crack that led to their collapse.
South Africa might end this century isolated from the rest of Africa - and basically alone in the World.
What many South Africans fail to understand is that they need the rest of Africa a lot more than the rest of Africa needs them.
Anyway, we'll see how this unfolds.
@subpharmacist@FabrizioRomano I was expecting a ' how do you respond to Messi supporters?' question. His response was not triggered rather it was innate.
@CTimwhiz@DavidHundeyin Go over this your discombobulated response again for at least an hour. If you still think I am the one lacking understanding, then selah. 👋🏽
@c_mobike I don’t think it’s just a mental block. PSG, Belgium, Netherlands had generations of superstars and still missed out.PSG persisted while others declined. Morocco, PSG and Man City show what happens with sustained investment in and structure.
@BachelorIdan I have to applaud how you scamper for fissure to push bigotry even in an intellectual conversation. It's the misled ignoramus liking this post I pity.
@Jessejagz It’s not age. The generation that enjoyed better living standards should’ve built on that. A standard six certificate from the 60s could match today’s graduates. The real issue is mental inertia. Keeping people misinformed makes ruling easy, a globaly used template.
7 skills that matter more in practice than most things taught in engineering school:
1. WRITE A ONE-PAGE TECHNICAL SUMMARY
Not a report. One page. Background, problem, solution, recommendation, risk.
If you can't fit it on one page, you don't understand it well enough yet.
2. ESTIMATE COST WITHOUT A QUOTE
Order-of-magnitude cost estimation before engaging vendors.
Labour + materials + overhead + margin. Every time. Always cheaper to discover the answer is "no" early.
3. RUN A PRE-MORTEM
Before starting a project, ask: "It's 12 months from now and this failed. Why?"
Write down every answer.
Fix the top three before you start.
4. SKETCH FREEHAND
Not CAD. Hand sketching for communication.
The fastest way to align two engineers on a concept is a sketch on paper, not a 3D model neither of you have open.
5. MANAGE A VENDOR RELATIONSHIP
What to put in an RFQ. How to evaluate a quote. When to push back on lead time.
No school teaches this. Every job requires it.
6. READ A FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Projects get cancelled by accountants, not engineers.
If you can't read a P&L or a capex budget, you don't understand why your project was killed.
7. GIVE BAD NEWS EARLY
The most valuable engineering communication skill.
Bad news delivered early is a problem.
Bad news delivered late is a crisis.
The difference is always the same: someone hoped it would fix itself.
