After seeing Esther Kazungu’s video, I thought it would be practical to demonstrate how to safely overtake a long vehicle and what to consider before making the move.

Rather than just talk about it, I decided to put it on video.

Ride smart. Arrive safe. 🏍️

Be Aggressive about your life.
It is the only way to get what you want from it...

Nothing comes from the gentle hoping, half-given effort, or the daydreaming of most.

You have to know who you are...
What you want, pursue & reject
Be Aggressive about your life.

Deep conversation with buddies yesterday:

Mans said we are getting to the age where its becoming clearer who put in the work and who didn't. That it's not just a money thing, but even our in networks. The conversations we are having: what have you done with life? Are we referring to the things we have done, or the things we could have?

He knotted his fist, said, in fact, not achieving the dream is not the biggest issue. It's never having tried. Said he is no longer even concerned with being the biggest artist in Africa anymore, but when his son asks: "what did you do?", he wants to be able to point him to the evidence of his attempts:

That I did one, two, three, and there they are. That's more important than the dream. The things you actually do, not the aspirations.

I said, brother, you know there are disadvantages in life, like not having enough resources? Poor people work hard. They are just unlucky.

Dude, almost lost it. Said, first, I don't know who peddled this notion that privileged folks don't work hard but that aside, "Okuna, how many people do you have in your contact?"

I said hundreds.

He said, "if you were dying right now, would you call them to rescue you?"

I said, yes.

He said, have you reached out to any of them for your dreams? And not just to talk about dreams but to actually be a part of it?

I said, well, you know, everyone has something they are dealing with. I wouldn't want to impose.

He said, exactly! You don't want it bad enough, my brother. You are not dying to get your dreams. You still care about perceptions. And that's the problem, we build networks based on perceived and anticipated values we will never have if we don't ask now.

I said, Brother, it's not that people don't ask They ask and alll they get is a no.

Man banged his fist on the table, said, "Good! Delete number! Next!"

I said, Brother, you can't just discard folks because they refused to give you the value you wanted. They have other values.

He asked, what value?

I said, "Conversations. Sex. Future opportunities."

He said, "Okuna, you are dying. Having a dream, potential... is dying. A little everyday. The lights are going off, my man, and you still want to have sex, Okuna? What good are evening conversations when you're drowning, man?"

He said, "In fact, I hate to hear the word potential in adults because its definitive proof you didn't try hard enough. You didn't want it bad enough. It's better if we didn't know you had potential!"

He went on: Okuna, do you know how sad it is to see a guy who you know to be excellent, failing at life? Because of the sanctity they assign potential?

He said, In fact, I want you to lose people, man. I wish more men lost people. So you can lose the illusion of safety that keeps you floating. Every man should get to a place where he knows it's just him, his dreams, and his God!

That's when his journey really takes off!

He concluded, and said: "You know, Okuna, it may not be your fault that you don't get to your dreams. But poor, cursed, unlucky; what evidence exists that you actually put your life on the line for the things you say you wanted? The things you say you deserved?"

Nick Saban's Five Enemies of Greatness is always worth a read. He didn't write these, but they're a solid short list of his coaching philosophy throughout the years...

Ingest them for your team, and ingest them for yourself.

The 5 Enemies..keep them away from you.

This sad story doesn’t end there (after Babu’s letters claiming UON is riddled with bedbugs etc)
Obama actually abandoned his plans with UoN and went on to domicile a multi-year State Department funded program at the Kenyatta University’s Chandaria Business and Incubation Center.

I was watching a documentary on an overcrowded boat in the Congo River, & I know I suffer mine pains, but I'm grateful, too, for the pains I have been spared. I think we owe fate a duty, to try & make something of these scattered grains. Many a folk will never hold a grain.

El discurso de Alexander Zverev que tenés que escuchar. ❤️

🗣️ “Quiero agradecer a una persona más. Alguien que nunca ve realmente mis partidos, pero que es la persona más importante de mi vida tenística y de mi vida en general.

Cuando tu hijo de 4 años es diagnosticado con diabetes y los médicos te dicen que su vida y su práctica deportiva serán muy, muy limitadas, hace falta una madre muy fuerte para salir de ese consultorio y decir:

‘Mi hijo estará donde quiera estar. Si quiere ser tenista, será tenista. Si quiere hacer otra cosa, hará otra cosa. Pero esta enfermedad no nos va a definir’.

Mi madre es la persona más importante y fuerte que conozco. Hace falta una mujer increíblemente fuerte para hacer lo que ella hizo”.

BREAKING NEWS!

The engineer who built Claude Code from scratch just released a 28-minute video that's pure gold: how to write prompts that deliver ridiculously good results.

I've seen $300 courses that don't even come close to what he explains in the first 10 minutes.

CLAUDE.md files, memory shortcuts, parallel sessions, and prompting patterns that almost no one uses...

All in one single video. Completely free. No fluff.

Whether you're a developer, just starting, or have already been using Claude for months, this changes the game for you starting today.

Save. Watch. Share.
