“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”

- Søren Kierkegaard

Søren Kierkegaard wrote these words in an 1847 letter to his ailing sister-in-law, emphasizing that walking was essential not only for physical health but also for mental clarity. The Danish philosopher, who was known for his daily walks through the streets of Copenhagen, believed that constant movement was one of the best remedies for existential anxiety and mental stagnation.

By saying he could walk away from even his heaviest thoughts, Kierkegaard portrayed walking as more than a simple distraction. He saw it as a powerful way to work through grief, anxiety, and life’s most difficult questions. His words remain a timeless reminder that physical movement can inspire emotional and intellectual progress, while remaining still can leave us feeling trapped.

I’m in love with this sentence:

“Pressure is a privilege. It means things are expected of you.”

One of my favorite midnight pass time is reflecting on the irony of life.

To die, you have to live. To live, you have to die.

For light to shine, darkness needs to exist.

When you're comfortable with being misunderstood, the people who understand you begin to surface.

The older I get the more I realize, calm is the real wealth. Living a very private life. Away. Alone. Observing. Thinking. Learning. Being bored. Creating something meaningful. A quiet day, sunlight, coffee, music, books, and stillness. That'll do.

[ĸolαde @twitgameboy]

All I know is Education is not a scam, true love exits, God answers prayers, tables do turn and life does get better.

Just don’t DIE! 🚶

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

At the end of the day, nobody knows how hard you grind for your goals, how lonely you feel at times, how much sleep you sacrifice, or the daily pressure you carry. That's why you have to remember to do it for yourself, whatever that thing is.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.

If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.

The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Major cheat code for life: Realizing no matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you're still ahead of everyone who isn't trying. Better to look foolish while trying than wonder for the rest of your life what might have happened if you had.

This week marks International Men's Week 2026.

I started to put together this thread last week & this morning - I have all my thoughts together.

From one man to another,

From the core of my heart to yours,

From the recognition of my struggles to yours,

I share this:

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

Get into the habit of asking yourself honestly, "Does this support the life I am trying to create?" If not, release it.

[EasyDesigner @iamkadirii]

Some people are very lucky. They come from a business-oriented lineage where uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, grandparents, and great-grandparents all have one or two businesses they have been running.

New generations scale those businesses into the bigger enterprises we see today. I have seen this in predominantly northern families. They protect this family wealth with everything, even to the extent of marrying themselves so the wealth doesn’t go out.

And here you are with no grandparents who have worked down for you to inherit anything. You literally strived to put yourself through university.

You still graduated and are job hunting intensely, getting back-to-back rejections until one day when God smiles on you and you get into a top organization to start your life.

Do not compete with people like this, even in business. Focus on your work and be good at it. You can play at the next level in the same industry, and in a few years you will become a professional in that industry and sought after.

Take your life the way you see it and be serious with it. No one is coming to save you unless you save yourself.

I interviewed people for Shell for years.

Here’s how to get in. 🧵

These tips will help you for other O&G companies too because they basically copy each other.

Same concepts. Different buzz words.
