Something I noticed about resilient people: They don't have fewer problems. They have faster reset times. Bad news hits at 9am. By 10am, they're back to their priorities. They feel it, process it, and move. The speed of the reset matters more than the size of the setback.

If you are applying to grad school abroad and you have no funding secured, here is the order that works:

1. Pick the professor before you pick the school.
2. Read their last three papers before you email them.
3. Ask if they have funded positions and what starts in your target semester.
4. Send your CV and a two-line statement of what you want to study with them.

Admissions committees read the professor's endorsement first. Everything else supports it.

The coworker who taught you boundaries probably didn't know they were teaching.

The one who left at 5 p.m. while you stayed until 8. The one who said 'I'll respond on Monday' when pinged on Friday. The one who took lunch away from their desk.

You thought they were lazy. Turns out they were sustainable.

Now you're the one replying to messages at midnight with a headache, wondering what went wrong.

Boundaries are not permissions your company grants. They are lines you draw yourself.

The coworker who went home on time still works there. You might not.

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.

Tame your excesses.
Discipline your taste.
Limit your wastefulness.

As a young person,
Financial discipline is very important.
Take your excesses and limit your wastefulness.

I’ve said this before and some people started crying in my comments. I will say it again anyway.

Don’t rent a house that the annual rent is more than 4months of your salary put together. Except you truly have no alternative, or you can’t get another job, or you can’t get another house.

Otherwise, get a better paying job if you can, move cities if you can, get another house if you can, but please don’t bite more than you can chew just to keep up with the Joneses.

And don’t fool yourself.
Don’t lie to yourself. Don’t make stupid excuses. Don’t say you have no other alternative if deep down you know you do. Don’t live your life spending money you don’t have to please people who really don’t care.

Don’t buy a car with a loan that takes so much from your salary every month that you have almost nothing left- just because you want to post pictures and appear to be successful when you are not. Again, control your appetites, tame your excesses and limit your wastefulness.

The value of a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of material things he acquires. Work on your self esteem. Work on your sense of self worth. Work on that pathetic need to always seek validation from people who make you think you must drown in debt or spend money you can’t afford just to feel your life is not a failure.

The true failure is the person who spends money they don’t have, to fund a life that can’t afford, to buy things they don’t really need, just to please strangers who don’t actually care.

Every yes costs a no somewhere.

Yes to the meeting. No to deep work.
Yes to the weekend call. No to rest.
Yes to the extra project. No to the one already on your plate.

Most people don't have a time problem. They have a yes problem.

The most productive people I've watched operate say no more than they say yes. They guard their calendar the way you should guard your bank account.

Not every opportunity is your opportunity. Not every invitation deserves attendance.

This weekend, look at next week's calendar. Count the things you said yes to out of guilt. Cancel two.

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

A mistake that cost me years. I thought preparing was the same as progressing.

I read the books. Took the courses. Built the perfect plan. Waited for the perfect moment.

Meanwhile people with half my preparation simply started, stumbled, and figured it out in public.

Preparation feels productive. Very often it is just fear wearing a suit.

You do not learn to swim by studying water. You learn by getting in.

I eventually understood that clarity comes from action, not before it. The plan reveals itself as you move, never while you wait for it.

Now I start before I feel ready, on purpose, because ready is a feeling that only arrives after you begin.

If you are still waiting to feel prepared enough, stop.

The water is right there. Get in.

I interviewed people for Shell for years.

Here’s how to get in. 🧵

These tips will help you for other O&G companies too because they basically copy each other.

Same concepts. Different buzz words.

@NigeriaStories The US provided the intelligence for the operation. Nigerian Army did the ground work..

When he said "No foreign soldier participated" he meant no foreign soldier was on ground.

You guys should go watch the interview on YouTube.
