A friend of mine in Switzerland 🇨🇭, Luca, once told me something that stayed with me.

He liked a lady in Zurich.

They used to talk almost every day. Nothing too serious but you know when communication has started carrying small hope.

One evening, he asked her if they could go out properly, not just random coffee after work.

She laughed and said:

“Luca, you are too reserved for me. I like men who are more spontaneous.”

He didn’t argue.

He just said okay.

The painful part was that he actually believed that was the problem.

So he started questioning himself.

Maybe I am too calm.

Maybe I don’t talk enough.

Maybe I should be more outgoing.

Maybe I should start doing too much just to look interesting.

A few months later, he saw her in Lausanne with another guy.

The guy was quieter than him.

This man barely spoke throughout the dinner. He sat there, nodded, smiled small and allowed her to do most of the talking.

The same silence she called “too reserved” in Luca had suddenly become “peaceful” in another man.

That day, Luca understood life.

Sometimes, people are not rejecting the attitude.

They are rejecting the person.

When they like you, your silence is maturity.

When they don’t like you, your silence is boredom.

When they like you, your simplicity is humility.

When they don’t like you, your simplicity is lack of ambition.

When they like you, your busy schedule means you are focused.

When they don’t like you, it means you don’t have time for them.

This is why you should not rebuild your entire personality because one person did not choose you.

Sometimes, nothing is wrong with you.

You are just not the person they want.

And that is okay.

Accept it with dignity and move.

Black South Africans need to watch this since they don't know their history.

No seat at the table then because there were no intellectuals to represent them. Fast forward to today, and the story is the same. Sad 😔😭😂

@seth_doe22 Partly the reason why I think not everyone should be allowed to vote. Civic participation should probably be linked to financial responsibility. Like demonstrating income tax filing or payment before you receive a voter's ID.

Women are loudest about seeking consent. My brother, ask o.

But in all this, just choose a woman who likes you and all these standards will suddenly disappear.

That is about a quarter of Ghana's GDP going into the pockets of 78,000 people 🤯

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Samsung is paying 78,000 chip workers a $340,000 bonus each. Not their salary. The bonus. The total bill is $26.6 billion, which equals 1.4% of South Korea's entire economy, going to less than 0.3% of the country's workforce.

The average Korean earns roughly $32,000 a year. So each Samsung chip worker is pocketing about a decade of normal pay in one go. Memory-division employees may collect closer to $396,000.

The cash comes straight out of Samsung's chip profits, which are projected to hit 330 trillion won (around $218 billion) this year. It's seven times higher than just a few years ago, driven by the AI boom. The deal gives workers 12% of those profits: 10.5% as company stock, the other 1.5% in cash. And not just this year. The setup repeats every year for the next decade, as long as profit targets get hit.

KDI, South Korea's main economic think tank, just raised its 2026 growth forecast from 1.9% to 2.5%, thanks entirely to the chip boom. The extra growth works out to about $48 billion in new GDP. More than half of that is now landing in the bank accounts of 78,000 workers at one company.

Real estate noticed early. In the first three months of 2026, before the contract was even signed, apartment sales in Dongtan, the suburb next to Samsung's main Hwaseong campus, more than doubled compared to a year earlier. Up 128.9%. Pyeongtaek climbed 36.8%. Yeongtong, where Samsung's headquarters sits, rose 28.7%. Local agents told the Seoul Economic Daily the buying began the moment bonus talks leaked.

The tax bill is even bigger than the bonus. The Korean government expects to collect roughly 100 trillion won, around $67 billion, in extra tax revenue from the chip sector this year alone. The presidential office has openly floated a "national dividend," a direct cash payment to every Korean citizen, to redistribute the gains.

Other industries are paying attention. SK Hynix locked in a similar 10% profit-share deal last September. Hyundai's union has reportedly asked for the same arrangement. Trouble is, cars and batteries don't run chip-level margins, and Korea's main business lobby has warned that copying this deal across the country's big family-owned conglomerates (the chaebol world) could blow up wage talks everywhere.

Samsung's group of companies already account for around 22% of South Korean GDP. Whether 2026 ends up a good or a great year for Korea now mostly depends on a single number: how many memory chips Samsung and SK Hynix can ship to AI data centers from California to the Middle East.

Forty trillion won, going to 78,000 people clustered in three cities south of Seoul. Korea's wealth map is being redrawn around the chip belt.
