@iaboyeji My philosophy can be summed into two words 'service' to 'humanity'.

Seek ways to enrich the lives of others.

Solve a problem. Bring about change. Support others to achieve their dream.

Beyond all, show love and empathy because that's where it all starts.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

My spouse and I have "laddered up" our whole careers. One in building mode, the other in earning mode.
Then it flips...
Another in building mode, the other in earning mode.

Fastest way to accelerate as a couple.
You have to be a team.

@Winterrose Rarely! This is because of the motivation behind the advice which often is misaligned.

Secondly, the lack of critical thought and the absence of first principle approach to problem solving is a recurring decimal with some VC's.

“Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy.

Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.”

—John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Why intelligent people are always alone - Alan Watts

[Victor Amahah @VAmahah]

High intelligence is a burden in a society of zero value.

It births solitude and extreme sensitivity.

Which awakens your absolute consciousness and keeps you away from basal human interactions.

@DanandElad Just landed in Nicoya.

All the rentals have no tv, when I asked why: “it’s a distraction from the paradise we live in” 🔥🌴

THIS IS THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE AND SMARTNESS, ANYONE , WHO ASPIRES TO LEAD ANY COUNTRY MUST POSSESS...

IN NIGERIA, WE HAVE MOSTLY CORRUPT, DUMB, DAFT, INCOMPETENT, INSENSITIVE AND HEARTLESS CRIMINALS/ BANDITS, AS POLITICAL LEADERS ...

This is where the world is now, and we are here in Nigeria talking about APC, PDP, APP, Wike, Fubara, etc, ... 4+4 = 8 years of docility, tribalism, nepotism ... all amounting to 'backwardness', inverse development...

The choice is ours to make... what do we want?

To join the accelerated global trajectory or to continue with our blind leading blinds for the sake of our tribal allegiance.

It’s about:

- Understanding customers' problems, needs, and desires.
- Understanding the market and the business in depth.
- Collaborating closely with engineers and designers.
- Identifying opportunities, finding solutions, and tackling the risks together.

I dated for many years and was a chronic bachelor before I finally understood the most important rule in relationships—they are between two people, not a crowd. I had always let others interfere, and it was the same on the other side. I left an 8-year relationship because of it.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Educate yourself about things. Study hard what interests you the most. Don't worry about what others think of you, that's none of your business. Train your mind to think, doubt, and question. That's how you grow.

Nvidia CEO: people with really high expectations have very low resilience.

Success in life requires a high degree of resilience, grit, hard work and optimism.

Disrespect is never forgotten by a man. It is either buried deep or used as revenge but never forgotten.

[Steve Harvey @IAmSteveHarvey]

Work hard in silence, let success make the noise. 🤫🎉

Choose carefully how many people you will allow to see you naked…emotionally. Just like seeing you naked physically, not everyone is deserving of seeing you naked emotionally.
