"Whatever you do, wherever you are, don't waste time. Learn, work, and make the effort to understand what is right and what is wrong. Do what is right, and avoid what is wrong. Keep building yourself as time goes on. This requires discipline, self-control, and a clear understanding of what you are doing. And it has to be consistent. You cannot be disciplined at night and then lose that discipline during the day. You have to keep at it.
At your age, this is when your life can take one direction or another. You can come out of these years having built yourself into a better person, or the opposite. Things move very fast at this stage of life. You can either build yourself or destroy yourself. It's never too late. Even when you realise that you have lost something along the way, perhaps because you were carried away by emotions or the easy things in life, and you lost your way, whenever you come to your senses, remember that there is still time to turn things around and build a better life. Don't give up and say it is too late, that the damage has already been done. Even when things have gone too far, they can still be put right. Never give up." President Kagame | Youth #MeetThePresident
I highly recommend having hobbies cause it distracts you from falling in love unnecessarily, and I have an explanation. An ideal mind always mistakes loneliness with love, but busy minds have standards, because when most of your days are filled with things like lifting, creating, reading, learning things like that, you stop chasing people for excitement, because we have a really bad habit of romanticizing every bit of attention that we get. Even if it was not not directed at us with the same intensity of intention, most of the time you are simply wanting something to do.Instead of the feel that you're confusing with wanting.And I strongly believe that best relationships are built when two complete lives meet instead of two bored people who try to become each other's hobby, the interdependence in that situation would create the pressure which finally would become the reason for the eventual breakdown.
don't know who needs to hear this, but start living. the days are flying by, and all you do is work, pay bills, and stress. enjoy what you can - walks, sunsets, music, laughter and nature. joy doesn't have to be expensive. you deserve it.
I get this question a lot.
1. It's God’s grace on my life;
2. I have been in business for a long time. I've seen a lot of fads come and go.
3. I actually spend most of my time listening & reading. Listening to those who've done more than I and reading works of those who've achieved more than I.
Just be curious.
That's the cheat code.
You can't be curious and remain ignorant.
1. Keep your energy level at “unbothered.” No matter the situation you find yourself in, be calm. It helps you think of solutions faster.
2. Except they are disrespecting you, when someone raises their voice, lower yours. The lower voice is the one with class. Empty vessels make the loudest noise.
3. If someone tries to guilt-trip you, take a deep breath and say, “You’ll be alright.”
4. Always act like you have been there before. A big win, small win, someone takes you out, you find a new update—act like you have been there before.
5. Take your time before responding to anyone. Think clearly and speak on it once.
6. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
7. When you enter a room, don’t scan for who’s watching you. Look straight ahead and pick your own seat.
8. In any settings, always mind your business. If they don’t involve you in a conversation, don’t involve yourself. Eavesdropping is allowed, but don’t join them.
9. Don’t talk too much. Nothing reduces your steeze more than too much talk. The more you talk, the more likely you are to say nonsense.
10. When someone pulls away, match their distance, not their drama.
11. Never involve yourself in a physical fight. It is not worth it.
12. Resist the urge to shalaye. Overexplaining yourself, especially to strangers, reduces your steeze.
13. When you are in public, show no visible reaction when you receive news (good or bad). Control your face until you leave that premises.
14. Don’t try so hard to be noticed in any settings. Matter of fact, the most reserved person in a room is the most noticed and admired one.
15. If you notice someone is arguing to be right instead of to learn, stop indulging them immediately. Let them believe they are right. You have nothing to prove to them.
David f*cking Goggins, what a line…
“When your entire day is fucked up, make sure that you achieve something positive before lights out. You’ll probably have to stay up a bit later to read, study, get a workout in, or clean the house. Whatever it takes to go to bed in the black, get it done.“
🚨 A Japanese minister arrived 5 minutes late — and apologized to the entire country
A minister in Japan arrived five minutes late to a meeting with the Prime Minister and immediately issued a public apology to the people.
Speaking to the press, she explained that the delay was caused by traffic congestion. In a country where punctuality is taken very seriously, even a small delay can lead to a public explanation.
Please take your time and listen to this. For all those struggling and asking when will it happen … this is for you.

Major life hack: Make a rule to never think twice about investments in yourself. Quality food. Fitness. Sleep. Books. Personal development. Mental health. These investments compound and pay dividends for a long time.
it honestly comforts me that we’re collectively coming to the realization that this level of Phone All the Time is unsustainable and making us worse. maybe naive but i hope this is the beginning of a quieter, slower era where we all look up and return to ourselves and each other
