Do you realize that before an airplane was created, there was no reference point to peg that idea on except on birds?

That is; someone sat down and thought - ''How can man fly like birds?''

Imagine how CRAZY they must have sounded if they had voiced it out.

...and here we are today, a 1 storey chunk of metal carrying 100s of people can fly and stay in the sky for hours.

The goal will shape the process. This is how every succesful person i have ever met thought. First they make the goal, before they wonder about the process.

The goal ''how do we move things with steam'' - created automotive.

How do we fly like a bird - created planes.

How do we become multi-planetary - created Elon's reusable rocket.

Now it is your turn, WRITE down the CRAZIEST goal you DESPERATELY need to unlock, and begin to obsess over the process.

Do this for the next 90 days, and if you don't find an answer that will wow you, call me out and i will apologize to you.

@Kweku75 As it should be !

Everytime you think of your future, you only imagine worst case scenario.

Waste of imagination. Waste of brain space.

The best case scenario and the worst case scenario are both scenarios yet to happen.

You might as well gas yourself up while putting in the work.

@BukkyOA Congratulations are in order 🎉

Underrated life skill: Letting today be today. Stop dragging yesterday into it and stop borrowing stress from tomorrow. Handle what's in front of you. You'll be surprised how much lighter life feels when you carry one day at a time.

@patageeee @engr_ssk This right here scares me

You really feel like there’s nothing you can’t learn, which in turn builds so much confidence in your skills, and gives you the momentum to keep learning.

One of my core aims in attending Harvard Law School was to study how public-interest lawsuits are framed, as part of my broader aim to someday use community lawyering to demand change in Ghana.

Then I realized that I needed money to do it. In a society where people don't support public advocacy, you are always on your own.

It is the reason we don't have activists. Our society may not survive. It is designed to fail.

@asemota The ability to see, to walk, to hear, basically all my senses being intact is something I don’t take lightly🙏

You can grind your way to the top 10% of most fields, but the top 0.1% works differently; these people have found their work so absorbing they've stopped noticing the grind at all.

Edisons assistants said he couldn't understand why his employees got tired. He'd hammer at a problem for 30hrs, then look up confused that everyone had gone home and assumed they were sick. Tesla often forgot to eat. Buffett, in his nineties, reads 500 pages of annual reports a day for fun.

People assume they had super-human willpower, but they actually had a completely different relationship with effort; the effort in itself was the reward. Forcing yourself to work hard is exhausting, but not being able to stop is something totally different. The biggest rewards in life come to the people who don't experience hard work as work at all.

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

Whether this is true or not, it's very important to live your life as if it's true:
- Assume no one has any special magical ability
- Treat new problems as a form of play
- Don't get stuck in your ways of thinking. Adopt a new strategy when you need to

About four weeks ago, I arrived in Ghana from the US.

Within 3 hours of arriving in Ho, I was nearly involved in a fatal accident at K.K House in Ho.

This near-accident occurred because the traffic light system regulating traffic at the KK. House Junction stopped working, so drivers drove through the intersection using their own judgment and discretion.

I nearly became statistics.

I spent the midnight drafting a petition to the Ministry of Roads, the MCE, the Regional Minister, and the Roads and Safety Authority.

I served a copy of the Office of the Attorney General, indicating that I will sue within 30 days if this isn't done.

Within 4 days, the traffic light was repaired.

Ghana can only work if we are willing to compel it to work. Our leaders are sleeping. We must either remove them or compel them to work.

With sufficient funding, we can begin a nationwide accountability process that gets things done.

I have seen how it is done in the US. It is possible. But first, we need funds!

Think about it! Help if you can.

Bro to Bro:

The mission is simple: die empty.

Use every gift, share every lesson, love every person you're supposed to love.

Don't take your genius to the grave.

Write. Produce. Create. Build

I have deep respect for people who stay humble no matter how skilled they are, they teach, guide and never make others feel small, that's real Professionalism.
They're not slaves to the curse of knowledge.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Skills that have nothing to do with money but are worth dedicating an immense amount of practice to:

- Charisma
- Metacognition
- Critical thinking
- Sitting with discomfort
- Articulating what you believe and why
- Changing your beliefs when presented with new information

Almost nobody actually practices these and it shows.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Do not show up trying to become important. That is a rookie mistake.

First become useful.

Become useful enough and people start trusting you with harder problems.

Solve enough hard problems and leverage appears.

Importance is downstream of usefulness.

I underestimated how much rigour this economics program required 🥲
