our regional manager flew in from the uk lastweek
she told us the most uncomfortable part of the trip wasn’t the flight, it was the taxi ride from the airport, cos the driver was asking her out
my boss said how come ??
she said he kept saying .. “pls show me love.” 😭😭😭
i'm in love with this quote:
"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."
I was asked, 'who is your best friend?' I don't know. I don't use language like that anymore. It doesn't fit. I have friends that hold the keys to different doors of my personality. And some open my heart. Some my laughter. Some my sin. Some my inner child
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. Likes And eventually, the bill comes due.
It's the reverse.
Nigeria was ahead of China in the 1960s and 1970s, then she stalled and China never looked back.
China did three key things:
1. Provided free quality education for everyone, especially rural children (Nigeria has more children out of school than the entire population of Belgium).
2. China resolved its agricultural and food crisis by focusing on rural areas and mechanised farming. Key word: “rural”.
(Nigerian rural farmers still farm with hoes and rainwater.)
3. With a well-fed and educated labour force, China then allowed the West to establish industrial clusters on the coast where local Chinese could learn skills.
(Nigeria's youth are japing to find jobs.)
We need to stop speaking polished English and get serious.
Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.
Nunca dejes que las burlas de los demás detengan tus metas.
Cuando propuse que el Hospital Rosales, que en ese momento era el peor hospital del país, se convirtiera en el mejor de Centroamérica, hasta mis propios ministros se rieron.
Imaginen lo que decían la oposición y los incrédulos.
Pero yo sabía que, con esfuerzo, disciplina y sin mirar hacia atrás ni hacia los lados, se podía lograr.
Y lo logramos.
Hoy, el Hospital Rosales es el mejor hospital de Centroamérica, público o privado. Cuenta con todas las especialidades médicas, el equipamiento más avanzado del mundo, 200 especialistas extranjeros y 3,000 salvadoreños listos para atender cualquier enfermedad de forma gratuita.
El siguiente paso es que más hospitales de nuestro país alcancen ese nivel.
Pronto tendremos otra sorpresa.
Primero Dios.
