Dear Analyst,
I recommend that you think beyond finding employment as you progress in the data and projects industry.
Put your attention on using data to develop business solutions. If you accomplish this, jobs will come looking for you ✍️

Let me add to this. There is no such thing as a soulmate who was specially created for you. Your soulmate is the person you choose to do life with, and who chooses to do life with you.
Your dream partner is not some perfect person you have to find. It is the person you love and who loves you back. A perfect home is built by two imperfect people who decide, every day, to keep choosing each other.
If you want something from someone, make it clear what. It's not imposing to ask explicitly for something; it's imposing to be vague and make the recipient work to figure out what you want.
Normalize being very direct, very straight to the point and very assertive. A surprising amount of tension in adult life exist because people avoid saying what they actually mean.

The most underinvested sector in African tech right now, relative to its actual opportunity size, is Vertical SaaS.
Not fintech. Not logistics. Not AI.
Vertical SaaS.
And I want to explain why.
Cut the crap. Literally, cut the unnecessary distractions out of your life—delete apps, unfriend and unfollow toxic people, stop committing to activities you don't care about. Life is too short.
Human approval is unstable. Someone may praise you today and criticize you tomorrow, so it's wiser to anchor your life in deeper principles than in other people's opinions.
one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Emphasising the importance of cooperation and communication whilst withholding 90% of your true thoughts and feelings, has never, and will never be a recipe for success.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out living a rich inner life compartmentalised from your lover is betrayal.
I think one of the biggest green flags in both friendships and romantic relationships is being with people who don’t make every disagreement feel like a threat to the connection.
I’ve never understood why some people immediately jump to “maybe we should stop talking,” “maybe we shouldn’t be friends anymore,” or “maybe this relationship isn’t working” whenever conflict arises. It creates an environment where people become afraid to be honest because every difficult conversation feels like it could be the last.
To me, emotional maturity is being able to disagree, express frustration, communicate your feelings, and still remain committed to resolving the issue instead of threatening to leave at the first sign of discomfort.
Not every misunderstanding needs an exit. Not every conflict needs distance. Sometimes it just needs two people willing to have an uncomfortable conversation and protect the connection instead of their pride.
The healthiest friendships and relationships I’ve seen are not the ones without conflict,they’re the ones where both people know the connection isn’t hanging by a thread every time a disagreement happens.
Here’s a piece of unsolicited advice for Men with money entering relationships:
A lot of your relationships fail because you started with an unsustainable version of you. Sometimes when we love someone, we try to secure that love through too much effort, attention, gifts, or availability too early.
“You can kill a new plant by watering it too much.”
The problem with doing too much too early is that your initial effort becomes the standard. A relationship that starts at 100 has nowhere natural to grow.
When you give too much too early, the relationship skips the stage where you 2 gradually learn to love each other in a realistic way. Your effort becomes your identity in the relationship.
So when you reduce that effort later, it feels like less love to the other person whereas you’re just dealing with life.
When you have money, it’s tempting to do too much too early. But it’s usually a bad idea even if you can afford it.
