Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said:
“AI will create more millionaires in 5 years than the internet did in 20.”
So I looked at the people already getting rich from AI.
Turns out they all do these 4 things most people never think about:
People MUST resist Freehold Land being turned into Leasehold and oppressive TAXES imposed with the Land being auctioned upon failure to pay the those taxes.Objective is to disposess people of their Lands and turn them into labourers for the new owners.We have a CRIMINAL regime
1/4 My sunday thought 🤔 long piece but worth every second of your time.
Leave your comfort nest, or rot in It, Why Your Comfort Zone Is Killing You. From Pretoria to Munich to Barcelona to Manhattan , the ones who left are the ones who won
Let me tell you something nobody wants to hear: your comfort zone is not protecting you. It is burying you. We dress it up in lovely language “stability,” “loyalty,” “knowing where you stand.” But let’s call it what it really is, fear wearing a comfortable pair of slippers. The terror of the unknown disguised as contentment.
Every single day you stay in a place that no longer serves you, you are choosing a slow, invisible decline over the terrifying possibility of greatness.
Don’t believe me?
In 2003 I was head hunted to manage largest beach resort in Kenya and still is 680 beds Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa. I switched jobs at a very difficult time when terrorism had just started to rear its ugly head with bombing of Paradise Beach hotel in Kampala. As a team we managed not to survive we thrived . 8 years down the line every time I meet repeat guests they keep asking me " Bado uko tu" you are still here. Look here i was very comfortable and happy . The owners The Vohras & The Kariukis amazing people . I then decided well maybe its about time I raised my gaze to see what is other there and shortly after I was head hunted to take charge of Heritage Hotels as CEO. The rest as they say is history.
Let me now give you four names , four people who had every reason to stay put and every reason to be glad they didn’t.
1. ✅️Elon Musk: The Boy Who Left Africa to Build the Future, before he was launching rockets into orbit and electrifying the auto industry, Elon Musk was a teenager in Pretoria, South Africa, getting beaten up at school and dreaming of something bigger than the horizon he could see. At seventeen, he left not for a holiday not for a gap year. He left for good , first to Canada, then to the United States with little more than audacity and a bone-deep refusal to accept the life that geography had assigned him.
South Africa is a beautiful country but it was not where Musk’s future lived. His future lived in Silicon Valley garages, in PayPal code, in SpaceX launchpads, in Tesla factories. He could never have built any of it from Pretoria. The comfort zone even an uncomfortable one would have swallowed him whole.
The lesson? Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is buy a one-way ticket.
2. ✅️Trevor Noah. Born a Crime, Became a King
If Elon Musk left South Africa to build machines, Trevor Noah left to build something even harder a career making people laugh in a country that wasn’t his own, in an accent that wasn’t theirs, about a life they couldn’t imagine.
Noah’s story doesn’t just begin with discomfort — it begins with illegality he says it in his pen book " Born a crime" . Born in Johannesburg in 1984 to a Black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss-German father, Trevor Noah’s very existence was a crime under apartheid law. His mother had to hide him from police. He grew up in Soweto, navigating a world that had no category for what he was. He was too Black for the white kids, too white for the Black kids, and too mixed for everyone else.
By his mid-twenties, Noah was already a star in South Africa. He was selling out theatres, hosting television shows, winning awards. He was comfortable. He was successful. He was safe.
But “safe” was not big enough for what Trevor Noah was meant to become.
In 2011, he packed up and moved to the United States. Not to a cushy TV deal to the grind. He toured tiny comedy clubs across forty American states, from El Paso, Texas, to Erie, Pennsylvania. He once nearly got deported at the Mexican border because of a Google Maps error. He was a nobody in a land of somebodies, starting from zero in a country that didn’t know his name...
Tony Robbins sat down with Diary of a CEO for 2 hours.
I watched the whole thing.
After 40+ years coaching the world’s top performers, billionaires, athletes, and world leaders, he believes nearly everything comes down to mastering 3 core skills.
Here they are:
