If you ask randomly what the most precious jewel is? Lol, you will hear answers like, 💎, sapphire, Ruby and the likes.
But guess what, they ain't the most precious. The "lips of knowledge" is the most precious jewel(prov 20:15)
Let's keep searching for it😋
@JohnDCook I still think of AI as a calculator. If you never learned calculus, the limits of what you can do with a calculator are basic. But the greater your mathematical knowledge, the greater the potential a calculator offers. It becomes an intelligence amplifier.
you're a young man and you've started making decent money from your hustle, business or your job. if you don't want to go broke in the future, there's one important lesson you need to learn early:
there's a big difference btwn being able to buy something and being able to afford it.
having money coming in every month can make it easy to believe that anything with a price tag you can cover is within your means but that's not true.
i remember a young entrepreneur who landed his first major contract. after receiving his payment, he immediately started shopping for expensive clothes, the latest phone and a luxury watch. he could pay for all of them, so he believed he could afford them. few months later, business slowed down. new contracts didn't come in as quickly but his lifestyle stayed the same. the money disappeared faster than he expected and he found himself struggling to cover little basic business expenses.
that experience taught him a lesson he never forgot: just because you can buy something doesn't mean you can afford it
before making a major purchase, ask yourself whether you could comfortably buy it more than once without putting urself under financial pressure. if the answer is no, it is wiser to wait.
today, people ask me, i have $20k, should i buy a car? my first question is always, what kind of car?
if you're planning to spend 16k on a car when your total savings are $20k, you probably can't afford it unless it's an income producing asset such as one used for a ride hailing business or uber, etc. otherwise, you're taking on more expenses. you'll have to pay for fuel, maintenance, repairs, insurance and other running costs.
i know it's exciting when you start making money and you want people to see that your life has changed but slow down.
just cos you can buy something doesn't mean you can afford it. real wealth isn't about proving you've made it. it's about making financial decisions that allow you to keep growing long after the excitement of your first success has passed.

A lot of people may not realize it yet, but I believe Minister Dunsin is giving us a glimpse of what heaven will be like through Restoring the Order.
If you can't worship God simply for who He is, not just for what He has done then heaven may feel unfamiliar to you.
In heaven, worship won't revolve around thanking God for journey mercies, a new job, provision, healing, or open doors. It will be centered on His holiness, His majesty, His worth, and His eternal nature.
how to unrot your brain:
- read 20 pages a day (like 10,000 steps for your brain)
- don't use your phone for 2 hours every AM and 2 hours before bed
- leave home without your phone
- delete social media from your phone and only use it on your computer
- walk 10,000 steps with no phone
- ground barefoot
- meditate for 10 mins a day (silence grows new brain cells)
- get sunlight
- digital fast one day a week
- humming for your vagus nerve
- play and have a silly goose time
YOU ARE A WOMAN, NOT A CHILD
I find it hilarious that grown women are still having endless conversations about whether they “bill men,” refuse to bill men, or whether everything they own was bought by them or by a man.
At some point, we should outgrow these conversations.
You don’t see men constantly gathering to debate whether they paid for everything themselves or whether a woman bought something for them. It’s simply not treated as a defining part of adulthood.
The whole “independent woman” label is just as odd to me. You’re an adult. Independence isn’t a personality trait or a special category; it’s the baseline expectation of adulthood. You don’t need to wear it as a badge of honour.
This constant infantilization of women, where ordinary adult responsibilities are framed as extraordinary achievements or entire identities, is exhausting. We should expect more of ourselves than making these conversations our defining discourse.
When I moved to the U.S. in 2021, I didn’t immediately recognize many of the ways racism could manifest. My understanding of it had been shaped by overt hostility, so I often dismissed subtle interactions until others pointed out what had happened and explained why they were considered racial microaggressions.
Over time, I came to understand that racism isn’t limited to explicit slurs or blatant acts of discrimination. It can also appear in assumptions, exclusions, and seemingly small behaviors that communicate who is and isn’t seen as belonging. Someone doesn’t have to call you a monkey—though that did happen to me—for an interaction to be rooted in racism.
