Annoying people progress faster because they get more feedback from the world vs aloof people who try to figure things out in private and place a paramount value on not bothering anyone or being seen trying, failing, or not-knowing
Dangote is worth tens of billions of dollars. He does not have tens of billions sitting in any account.
His wealth is shares. Ownership stakes, priced daily by the market.
And when billionaires need cash, they rarely sell. They borrow against the shares. Selling ends the compounding and triggers tax. Borrowing keeps the asset growing while freeing the money.
Now you understand the game: the poor sell assets to solve problems. The rich borrow against assets and let the assets keep working.

The founders didn’t invent a new behaviour. They digitised one that millions already trusted.
The best business ideas are not created. They’re observed, lying in plain sight, wearing local clothes.
get a haircut every 2 weeks to stay sharp, wait 5 secs before answering the phone to control the rhythm, always arrive 15 mins early, stay away from free lunches, never talk about people who aren't in the room and when anger rises, wait 10 mins before reacting. these habits may look rigid but they're the hidden discipline of the elite.
Math says you shouldn’t be born. Chances so slim you can’t even understand how unlikely your birth was. KNOW that It was FATED. You take your life for granted. You don’t see how precious it is to be a human. Your dreams seem unrealistic because you don’t know that they're steps toward your DESTINY. You still allow yourself to be trapped by limitations of what people say is possible (who do simply what others tell them to do). You were born for a reason (TO BE YOU FULLY). You play a role in life. No mistakes can be made in the universe. The length of your life is not guaranteed. Make the most of your reason. Birthing your dreams into the world is the greatest thing you can do. For yourself and existence as whole. Life is short. Do what you must.

the idea that "everyone is replaceable." is flawed. some people are truly one of a kind. if you lose them, life won't hand you another version. you don't meet certain souls twice.
