That Commissioner’s seal on an annexure is not a mere formality. It can determine whether the Court can rely on your evidence at all.

Being a man is hard. One minute, you're proud of how far you've come; the next, you're questioning whether it even matters. Still, you show up tomorrow.

Slow down and be patient with life. If you seek wealth, someone else seeks health. If you seek health, someone else just died. Each time you build a mansion, someone digs a grave. Each time you waste food, someone searches for a meal. Be grateful.

Even as we crackdown on JURISPESA judges and magistrates, which we must, we should also crackdown on INCOMPETENCE. A judge or magistrate has no discretion to be INCOMPETENT and then hide behind “decisional independence” @ahmednasirlaw @LawSocietyofKe @NelsonHavi @jsckenya

If you have been reading stories about inherited wealth and wondering what happens to those of us who did not inherit any, this is for you.

Let us begin with the obvious: family wealth matters.

Money creates access. It buys time, education, networks, safety, and room to make mistakes. If you can borrow money from home without interest, you are already ahead of someone whose family depends on them financially.

The Matthew effect is real: those who have are often positioned to acquire even more.

But inherited wealth is not the only factor that determines how far you can go.

And this is not one of those posts that pretends everyone starts from the same place. We do not.

The point is that your starting point is not the only force shaping your destination.

In Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell explores several advantages that are easy to overlook.

One is timing.

His famous example is Canadian hockey. Because young players were grouped by age using a fixed cutoff date, children born early in the year were several months older than those born later. At that age, a few months created noticeable differences in size and coordination.

The older children were selected more often, received better coaching, practised more, and gradually became genuinely better.

A small initial advantage compounded.

The same thing happens outside sport.

Someone born in the 1980s encountered the internet differently from someone born in the late 1990s. One group experienced its early expansion; another arrived when platforms, careers, and business models were already established.

Neither experience is automatically better, but each creates different opportunities.

The same applies to software engineering today.

An engineer who spent four years writing and debugging code before AI coding tools became common has developed instincts that someone entering the field now must intentionally build.

At the same time, a younger engineer who learns to work effectively with AI may eventually outperform an experienced developer who moved into management and stopped building.

Every period gives something and takes something away.

The question is not only, “What advantages did other people receive?”

It is also, “What advantages are available in my time?”

Gladwell also popularised the idea that exceptional performance often grows from thousands of hours of focused practice.

Angela Duckworth approaches a related idea through Grit: sustained effort toward a meaningful long-term goal.

The exact number of hours is less important than the principle.

Many of us already have years of practice in something we barely recognise as a skill because it became normal to us.

Maybe you have spent years selling, organising people, solving technical problems, teaching, writing, negotiating, farming, caring for others, or surviving difficult environments.

Do not dismiss what you have repeatedly done simply because it came naturally.

That may be where your real advantage is hiding.

Another factor is practical intelligence.

Not just knowing things, but knowing how to use what you know.

Knowing when to speak.

Knowing whom to ask.

Knowing how to enter a room, understand what matters, and turn an opportunity into something tangible.

Culture matters too. But unlike in the past, culture is now more fluid. Through books, online communities, travel, mentors, and deliberate exposure, you can enter environments your family may never have known existed.

None of this erases structural inequality.

But it does mean you are not limited to measuring your future using only what your parents owned.

You are alive at a time when knowledge, tools, markets, and communities are more accessible than they have been for most of human history.

Your advantage may not be inherited capital.

It may be timing.

It may be accumulated practice.

It may be practical intelligence.

It may be the ability to learn from cultures beyond the one you inherited.

Start here:

Identify one thing you have practised for years, one opportunity created by the present moment, and one practical skill you need to develop next.

You may not have inherited great wealth.

But you are not starting with nothing.

George Orwell worried that a shrinking vocabulary would eventually produce a shrinking range of thought.

It is difficult to think a nuanced thought with a blunt language.
