Listen to the voice over 😂

this is insane. i genuinely don't understand why ambitious people aren't shown this lecture before their careers start consuming their entire lives.

clayton christensen spent his career studying why successful companies collapse. in his final class, he asked students to apply the theory to themselves: if you keep allocating your time the same way, what life are you actually building?

he had already seen the answer in his own harvard mba class. everyone looked successful at the fifth reunion; by the 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th, many were unhappy, divorced, and living far from their children.

work shows you the score immediately. close a sale, ship a product, finish a presentation, earn a promotion, get paid.

an hour with your child may produce nothing you can measure today; it may take 20 years to understand what that hour built. so the next free hour goes back to work, one rational decision at a time.

this is how people build lives they never planned: through hundreds of right decisions that lead in the wrong direction, day after day.

money, titles, and headcount are easy to count. christensen believed a life should be measured by the people who became better because you were there.

he died in 2020.

one question remains: if someone saw only where your time, energy, and attention went this year, what would they think actually mattered to you?

the full 19-minute lecture is in the video below.

South Africans reportedly summoned Chinese, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi shop owners to a meeting, where they urged them to dismiss African workers and prioritise hiring locals

@yabaleftonline What did your parents do to deserve this? o ma she o

[Seun Solaja @TheSeunSolaja]

At some point we need as Africans to realize that South Africa is not a safe place to be for anything at all. Not to live, not to work and definitely not to seek refuge. SAns are suffering from post apartheid ptsd and there are beyond redemption at this point. Get out of SA!

The Blue Whale produces milk so rich and thick it has the consistency of soft butter or flowing cream. It’s 50% fat—nearly 15 times more concentrated than human milk.

​Why? Because in the vastness of the ocean, a liquid would dissolve into the salt water before it ever reached the calf. Instead, this "liquid gold" stays intact, allowing the baby to gain 200 pounds every single day.

​"He who fashioned the depths of the sea left nothing to chance."

​From the gargantuan heart the size of a car to the microscopic precision of a mother’s milk, we are witnessing a masterpiece of engineering. This isn't just "survival"—it is divine intentionality.

​Every ripple in the ocean and every breath in your lungs is a quiet, powerful reminder: Every detail was crafted. Every need was anticipated.

​Nature isn't just magical; it’s a witness.

​God is Amazing. 💙

Is it your worldview, or is it a toxic upbringing you refuse to heal from?
