@TONYISPEAK @gunzify0 It's impossible to wipe what's been shared online

@alibi_2_1 @EtubomSmith @gunzify0 You can't really suppress it even. Every hot topic and trend online is seasonal. When your matter comes up again, that video you thought you've wiped off will resurface. It might not circulate much this time because netizens have seen seen it already.

Dear men,

It impresses upon my soul to write to you.

This writing is inspired by my consumption of a lot of Diogenes' work but one quote of his that massively influenced my value system, reads:

"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little".

It imprinted upon my soul for a long time, especially as someone that's ambitious.

Friends, verily I say unto you:

Ambition is good but nothing is more frustrating to a man that for him to exist at the edge of a precipice where there are more factors out of his control, than within his control.

Endless chase in ambition without a defined scope is outside your control & with every season you have a new high to chase without a moment to enjoy where you are.

It becomes easy to discard your present as a valley as you glare at a new high, forgetting that your current valley used to be a mountaintop you aspired to.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, have a number in mind. Especially as an ambitious person, have a number in mind.

The endless pursuit of ambition will leave you with a hollow soul. It will strip you of the beauty of momentary happiness, satisfaction of wins & incredible undervaluation of how far you've come.

As a young hustling man, it is important that you define what happiness and success looks like for you, and to do so early on.

The ultimate question now becomes:
Are you in control of your dreams? Or are your dreams in control of you?

The answer to this question is a predictor of your future happiness or lack thereof.

I hope my writing found you well.

As you were.

@afrisagacity Isn't this good proof that Nigerians are incapable of ruling themselves? You'd think someone who's lived a tough life because of their leaders would be a difference maker once they got into a position of power. We don't hate corruption, we hate that we are not benefiting from it

@elzo_black @BerlofMonaco It's not a coping mechanism, nigerians are just plain stup!d. All they care about is laughs Nd engagements. Our leaders are very lucky.

@CeodeDionis It's really globalization. Countries are losing their distinct cultural and geographical aesthetics. From clothing to architecture, it's increasingly becoming harder to even tell you've moved from Country A to Country B just by looking around.

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.
