I don’t even believe I am smart or intelligent.

I am just someone that looks at something difficult for so long that I end up understanding it.

Am I smart? No
What I am is persistent!

[Shehu Alaba @ShehuAlaba]

It’s easy to identify people who won’t excel at something. Just watch how they handle difficult situations.

Imagine doing a FREE online class on how to get scholarships, and someone DMs me saying she doesn’t understand it and that I should let her pay me to do it for her. 😂😂😂

“Looking for shortcuts the minute something gets difficult”

I honestly don’t respect that mindset,

Message to my future self:

Visio will be a global force and a billion-dollar company🤝

[Shehu Alaba @ShehuAlaba]

Do I see myself as special? No.
Why do I think I can be great? Because I believe I have all the equipment to be great and if I utilize it well, I become great.
Hence, anything short of greatness is a failure 🤝

You may be putting in the work today and seeing absolutely no results.

I know the feeling. When I started on LinkedIn, some of my posts got 1–2 likes.

I kept showing up.

Eventually, one of those old posts helped me get noticed by the right person—and it led to my first data analyst job.

Don’t mistake delayed results for wasted effort.

Keep going.

Give me 1 minute of your time, and I’ll tell you the secret of winners.

Sometimes, you don’t need to work harder. You just need the right information.

A day in my life as a PhD student 🎓
Teaching, commuting, research and everything in between.

One day at a time.

Sometimes you need to look back to appreciate how far you’ve come.

Everything I have today was once a prayer point.

And when I’m scared about the future, I remind myself that many things that once seemed impossible eventually became possible when God made a way.

Look back and thank God. Look forward and trust God. 🙏🏽

@DomKing32763 Thank you for your input Dr. Lin

The part of PhD life people don't see.
No big breakthroughs. Just reading, coding, thinking, getting stuck, and showing up again the next day.
The boring days are part of the journey too.

How I start my morning🥂

[Shehu Alaba @ShehuAlaba]

@cnvs_sam You are welcome

The fear of doing difficult things only limits your ability to excel in life.

Most of the things worth achieving will feel difficult at first. Don’t let the fear of the difficulty keep you from discovering what you’re capable of.

Do it scared. Do it anyway. 🚀

If your life is hard, that’s a very good starting point.

Now make it harder by starting a company.

What could possibly go wrong? 😂
