Time reveals to us what was more important.

NYSC should be made voluntary, with higher stipend & better living conditions. I also think the rigor that leads to the POP should be retained with joint civil-military leadership. The education tracks are also welcome. Nothing more than 4 weeks in camp.

A universal rule I've found:
The more you divide your attention...the more you dilute your power.

Choosing only a few things, makes you more effective in all of them.

6 weeks of camp is insane.

They could barely feed and accommodate us in Obubra for even the 3 weeks.

I turned 34 recently. Here are 34 lessons I've learned as an unmarried woman. 🌸

1. You can’t make someone choose you.

2. People are not thinking about you nearly as much as you assume they are.

3. You’re allowed to cut people off without guilt or long explanations.

[Wojciech Aleksander Wołoszyn @WAWoloszyn]

Warning to contractors. Do not create a business account with @Wise. If you later close your business, you will lose access to your personal account and consequently be banned from using Wise. The only way to restore it is to reactivate the business.

Yes! That’s my wife and daughter getting ready for the 6 a.m. Mass. I had just finished getting dressing and was sitting on the bed, waiting for them, when I captured the moment.

I have a couple of sketches of them getting ready in front of the mirror, but this particular one deserved to be painted.

[The woman @Tarmeim]

My favorite form of intimacy has always been asking questions, not to pry, but to understand the architecture of someone's inner world. The way they think. The way they feel. The way their past still echoes in their present. There's a depth in people that never shows unless someone asks the kind of questions that require honesty instead of performance.

It’s not enough to know what you don’t want.

The real question is: Are you pursuing what you do want with deliberate, concerted effort?

Avoiding the wrong path doesn’t automatically put you on the right one.

DESPERDICEI MEUS 20 ANOS. ENTÃO RECONSTRUÍ DO ZERO AOS 36. Aqui está o manual que ninguém me deu:

1. Arrume um "emprego ponte" que pague as contas.

When I started angel investing in 2021, one of my biggest mistakes I made was applying traditional fundamental analysis to early-stage investing. Seemed smart at the time but most of those checks I wrote went to zero.

Wrote five small $5k checks then, nothing serious. Three of them went to zero. One returned my money while the last one appreciated a bit, but still has no clear path to any liquidity event.

At the time, I worked in a private investment firm with an investment process closer to PE, so naturally, that shaped how I approached investing. I was trying to analyze startups like mature businesses. Crunching numbers that, frankly, had very little bearing on the true fundamentals of the opportunity. Not saying crunching numbers aren’t great but heavy reliance shouldn’t be placed on them esp at the early stage where a company is still trying to find its bearing.

2024 I came back for round 2 and went down the rabbit hole to gather insights from the OGs. Watched almost every Olumide Soyombo, Kola Aina, and Iyin Aboyeji video I could find on the internet, studying how they approached startup investing and a recurring theme I noticed was that their early-stage investments thesis were mostly driven by qualitative judgment. Things like Founder quality, market insight, distribution, Industry direction etc and the potential for that industry to attract capital for future liquidity were the recurring theme I noticed.

While I was busy building spreadsheets for businesses too early to be properly gauged that way, the prolific guys already knew the right questions to ask. Sometimes, they had already decided they wanted exposure to a specific sector and were simply looking for the right operator to back.

In 2024, I refined my philosophy and came back for round two.

Still nowhere near as prolific as the OGs, but the ROIC on my portfolio so far tells me one thing clearly that I’ve definitely gotten better at this 😃

20–30: “I’ll invest once I’m done enjoying life.”

30–50: “I can’t invest, I have a family to support.”

50+: “Why can’t I retire yet?”

Don’t let this be your story.

You can enjoy life and build wealth.

Most people just never do both at the same time.

Life is funny. 70/80 year olds are so vibrant and make plans like they are going to be here forever but 30/40 year olds move like they are going to die

People reducing the Nestoil issue to a building are missing the point. This isn't just about a property. We're talking about debts owed to over 20 banks yet the narrative is now "they want my father building." Is that really what Obi jack shared in the family WhatsApp group? 🤔

The gym twice a week won’t save a sedentary life.

Your body needs movement all day, every day. Brisk walk to the office. Stairs at full pace.

Small movements compound into real health. Stop saving activity for scheduled time.
