Let them invent whatever version of you they need.
Some will glorify you. Some will demonize you.
Doesn’t matter.
They’ll always cling to the story that feeds them.
Your only job is to be exactly who you are.
Let them choke on their own fiction.

These incredible plants from Graaf-Reinet area are now extinct in the wild. It's bizarre to think that the people who took them all from the bush over decades and sold them are known to conservationists, such as my friend who has a succulent nursery where I took this pic today.

@ScotRail , not ideal today at all! Train packed, we are in here like sardines! Took the train from Dunf city to Haymarket, the 8:05, it is so bad people are standing in the toilet. This is 3 carriage, surely at peak hour we need ones with more carriages & especially mid week!

@StHonorable Austrian 🇦🇹 or Australian 🇦🇺? Very different countries and continents. That first sentence.
But nonetheless it’s a very cool story! Love the traditional wear!

A tiny Karoo town is about to become South Africa’s next billion-rand export story.
Prieska.
Population ~14,000.
The middle of nowhere.
In the 90s, the IDC poured R130 million into pistachios there.
Climate was perfect.
Vision was huge.
By 2011 they called it a failure, sold the equipment, and walked away.
Two farmers refused to quit.
The Mullers spent 15 brutal years mastering what institutions couldn’t: pollination, varieties, processing. They built Karoo Pistachios and the Desert Emerald brand.
Last year: 20 tons.
Next decade target: 60,000 tons.
South Africa now chasing 5-8% of the global market. Selling at R613/kg, and rising fast as Iran stumbles.
Lesson for every deep-pocketed investor:
The biggest opportunities aren’t where capital flows. They’re where capital gave up.
Conviction beats committees.
Every.
Single.
Time.
The Mullers didn’t invent pistachios.
They just refused to bury a dream everyone else abandoned.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.
