If the door you’re walking through today is the one you built yourself, it means the doors you knocked on relentlessly that never opened would’ve led you to spaces that would’ve been way too small to contain your greatness. Sometimes rejection is a blessing. #LiveWithIntention

Pres Akufo-Addo says he has "total confidence" in his ability to save Ghana's economy. SPOILER ALERT: he is dreaming. Today I measure GHA's inflation at 148%/yr. W/o a currency board, like the Gold Coast’s (1913-1958), GHA's economy will stay in the tank.

My response to rejection letters is that it's my application letter that was rejected not me. Failure is an event not a person.

[Josh Dean @josh_t_dean]

Whether I am the same person today as I will be in 40 years matters a lot for policy, but I never hear economists talk about it.

Is failing to save for retirement a choice for myself or an externality?

I just finished Reasons and Persons and its answer is interesting.

[Josie Kusi @ayawaba]

Policies should respond to present and future needs and not past occurrences.
Past events can trigger policies, yes but they should be dealt with in the light of what is ahead.

There should be a movie for how international graduate students in any country (preferably one where the language is the student’s third or fourth language) navigate their lives.

Carving the path might be slow and painful but the joy of watching others tread smoothly afterwards is worth it!
