A curious mind learning to live life one day at a time

Everyone is clueless, to some extent, at something.

Let that sink in so you can begin to be confident in what you know, no matter how little.

Continuous improvement is where the magic lies.

Know this and know peace. ❤️✨

When you marry someone, you also marry the history in which they were raised. I’ll give you an example.

Obama was a product of separated parents and a generational history of broken homes. Michelle was a product of healthy family relations where everyone - including extended family - met on Sunday. Because of this, Obama never saw the need for marriage and thought it was overrated because he never had that example growing up. Michelle saw marriage as an important part of life and wanted to reproduce the family tradition she was raised in.

In the end, he managed to propose for her sake after pressure from her, and committed to making it work. This means that, while familial history is important as it explains the root of a person’s behaviour, you have to consider the person’s willingness to break that pattern where the behaviour is negative because it takes an astronomical amount of work and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern.

Dangote was adjusting his fuel price in real time when it was rallying but now dragging feet to adjust now that’s it’s on a downward spiral. If you like keep kissing the ass of these billionaires who are doing all they possibly can to impoverish you. A lot of you kuku no get sense.

I’m not a pessimist in the general sense, but I have a fantastic relationship with worst-case scenarios.

Sometimes you gotta SIT in it baby. Sit in that pain. Sit in that lesson. Sit in that loss. Sit in that job. Sit in silence… just SIT with God.

[J. I. Packer @DrJIPacker]

Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord.

Advice I wish I had gotten five years ago:

The best time to build a network is when you don’t need it. The worst time is when you do.

You should always relentlessly help others without keeping score.

And when you finally climb to the top, make sure to throw a rope down for the next person.

Do this consistently, and it will pay dividends for the rest of your career.

have to remember to be kind to yourself. you cannot do it all & you're genuinely doing your best. Breaking your spirit, putting yourself down, won't help you last long-term.

[omoge. @KhloeUmoh]

So much focus on ‘becoming’ and not enough on ‘being’.

It’s so boring to do every single thing in pursuit of some unseen and unknown bright future at the expense of the already beautiful present.

YOU NEED BIGGER PROBLEMS

Here's a question for you. Would you rather queue for fuel for three hours or brainstorm on a new jet propulsion engine?

If you live in Africa, you've experienced fuel queues at Christmas. Winding lines. The police Hilux that always goes straight to the front. The guys at the side of the road peddling adulterated petrol in jerrycans. And the station attendants drunk on power as they control access to the gate. It's a typical chaotic scene on the continent.

But you willingly queue for your family. Your kids need uninterrupted light this season. The weather has been crazy and everyone's grumpy because of the heat.

Now, cast your mind to an alternative world.

You're spending the same three hours in an air-conditioned co-working space with your team.

You're a venture funded startup, and your colleagues are bad-ass programmers, physicists and mathematicians. You're currently participating in the XPRIZE and excited by the prospect of winning. Even if your team doesn't win, your work will be on the world stage and open up new opportunities.

So, back to my original question. Would you rather queue for fuel or work on a groundbreaking idea?

It's the same three hours spent solving problems. But while one problem drains you, the other energises you.

In 2025, you will not run away from problems. But, you will work on bigger and better quality problems.

Your time will not be spent debating whether you should dig a borehole or well in your compound. Or if you should spend money on a pre-paid meter that ought to be free. You will no longer debate the sanity & character of your leaders or the "anyhowness" of institutions.

Instead, you will be obsessed with growing your business, spending more time with your family, increasing your influence and broadening your impact.

In your new season, you will only go where you are wanted and appreciated. Your relationships will be enriching and your friends will match your energy.

In 2025, you will remember that your brain was created for wonders and your heart was designed to be very kind. Nothing will stop you from attaining your potential, because unusual doors will open for you.

At the end of the year, you will have shown the world what it's like when brilliance meets hard work and good intentions.

As we celebrate a New Year, I wish you a fantastic one. I am rooting for you.

The cost of building the life you want is a fee, not a fine. When you face challenges while striving for success, you must remind yourself that you are exchanging your time and effort for valuable achievements, not being punished for daring to be ambitious.

Today, it is with humility and a great sense of honour that I thank each and every one of the 166 WTO members for the consensus they achieved in supporting my reappointment! Thank you for the wonderful words of recognition and support. I don’t take this lightly. I also want to thank my colleagues in the Secretariat Staff for their dedication and hard work.

This is an enormous responsibility and I will redouble my efforts to work with each and every member to try and deliver the results this organization needs, including the necessary reforms to make it fit for 21st century challenges. We’ve done it before, we can do it again! I am also grateful to my family, my country, to the Africa Region, and to all my friends and colleagues from all over the world who have reached out with hundreds of congratulatory messages. Thank you for the recognition!
