Kobe Bryant once said:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition.
If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”
@kiruti I have complained this to @AIRTEL_KE. I wonder what user experience this is meant to solve. Flash messages should be optional tbh. I even walked to one of their shops and their staff are just as mad about them as I was but they said they can't do anything about it
Positive things are drawn to positive-thinking people. Positive things happen to those who believe they will. Positive energy is attracted to people who think positively. You are what you think. You are whatever you want to be. Attract good energy. Attract good karma. The world is yours. Take it.
Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you'll regret. Slow down to speed up.
You have to be audacious about the things you want in life. Closed mouths don’t get fed. So ask for the opportunity, send the email, make the call. Apply for the job you think you’re underqualified for. Pitch the idea even when you’re not 100% ready. Tell people what you want
@GGjelimo Von Hotpoint makes the landcruisers of twin tubs. Tailored to the everyday Nairobi/Kenyan apartment and water texture. Very little adjustments needed.
Underrated life advice: Become generous with your assumptions. Assume they were tired, not rude. Overwhelmed, not careless. Preoccupied, not distant. This doesn’t mean tolerate disrespect. It means stop turning every small moment into a personal attack. Grace makes life lighter.
Hanlon’s razor: “Never assume someone is being evil/malicious when it can simply be explained by stupidity.”
When something goes wrong, you should assume incompetence, carelessness, or simple error before assuming someone deliberately set out to harm you. Most bad outcomes come from people being stupid rather than scheming against you.
Never compromise to please anyone, be yourself unapologetically. You do not have to shrink to stay connected. You do not have to chase what is out of range.
Your job is to hold the signal- to broadcast who you are clearly, consistently and authentically. The right people- the ones wired to your wave will find you, effortlessly, and they will stay.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Take yourself seriously, sit down, write a detailed plan for yourself, and your family. Give yourself time to work on it. Quit alcohol and weed, they slow great men like you down. Learn a skill. Give yourself 5 - 10 years to lift your family out of poverty. Nobody can do that for you. your family depends on you. Be strategic. Good morning. Go Win!
Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
