As you get older, you will cherish every moment to serve, assist, and be there for your parents. Nobody will tell you.

Pro tip for goal writing season:

Next to each goal, write down what you’re willing to give up to get it.

You can’t add hours to your day, so you have to start by making room for the things that matter by removing the things that don’t.

Affirm

My career's coming together. My purpose is becoming clearer & clearer.
My circle's beautiful. My life is thriving. I am so grateful to be present & to be healthy. I am so grateful to have people rooting for me as I chase my dreams. Life is amazing. I am choosing positivity.

[Tyler Todt @tyromper]

I'll never forget.

It was as though TIME STOOD STILL.

I glanced at my phone & saw a text from my mom, TY PLEASE CALL SOON.

I was at work & it wasn't uncommon for my mom to text me, but this one instantly felt different.

I called back & heard,

I HAVE CANCER.
It's aggressive.

[Mr. Possible @Mrpossidez]

Take me seriously when I say this. This is the shamanic dance of all waterfalls: entertain no belief that you’re a failure. Lose yourself completely in a higher self- image and it will become your identity.

Believe completely that you have a place in this world and start acting it out; refuse the voice of doubts and doubters and the world will open up to you. This is alchemical gold. Throw yourself into the abyss without hesitation and it will soon become a feather bed.

[Olamide Obe @olajideobe]

Big Chief, haven't you noticed that the loudest people on relationship twitter are the singles and yet to be married folks? They are mostly naive about what a healthy relationship entails.

At my lowest point few years ago, my wife was the one that was there to shoulder the responsibility on the home front. During our first few years in marriage, she was not working and everything was OK. I gave 100% financially, she gave 100% in other aspects too. Fast forward to few years later, I was out of job and hit a rock in business, things became very tough for us. My wife had completed her MSc already. She had to take up a teaching job in a private school since that was the only immediately readily available opportunity then, and she was the one who was sustaining the home for that brief period. She gave 100% financially. I did my bit to make things easy for her at home too. I've always been a homily person and cooking is fun to me.

We are currently living in a western country today and we are both gainfully employed; we still give 100:100. No holding back. 100% of everything — finance, time, commitment etc.

I always laugh at many of the silly takes on twitter about relationships, but fair enough, those silly takes keep us busy and provide content for laughter. Twitter is far from reality. Let the troll continue jàre. They will be all right last last.

@Preyeajuwa47 @TeweDami Hi! Have you sorted the balance of 100k?

[Gift Ekim @EkimGift]

@UchePOkoye In my opinion, the guy's decision may have been different, if the girl in question wasn't a stranger.

[Gift Ekim @EkimGift]

Finally!

This is a welcome development🎉

Dear Cyber Security Wannabe, Here are the Top 10 Ways to get a Job in Cyber WITHOUT a Degree:

I get about 100 messages a day from people asking me the same question. What path do I take to get into Cyber Security? I normally smile and answer that question with “Yes”.

The path that works for you is the direction you need to go.

No, you absolutely do not need a degree to get into Cyber. Below I have outlined 10 different ways that you can work toward gaining entry into this awesome field and work from your pajamas.

1. Self study. You can absolutely choose to learn on your own. Learning with YouTube, and a ton of other resources both paid and free.

2. Certifications. Yes, certifications give you street cred. They do a great job of showing that you are dedicated to learning. If you are just at the beginning, I might suggest CompTia certs.

3. Boot Camps. Most boot camps show you a broad range of cyber security, not necessarily deep. However, it gives you a great sense of what you can do in this field. He will most likely find something that you really enjoy doing your boot camp and build off of it.

4. Join Communities. LinkedIn, Twitter, slack, discord, you name it. There are a ton of people that have the same interest. Surround yourself with people smarter than you.

5. Participate in CTFs. These are a ton of fun, and honestly I don’t think there’s any better way to learn. It is also an adrenaline rush.

6. Build a Lab. You don’t need expensive hardware anymore to do this. Get yourself a nice VM on Microsoft Azure, and build off of that. It’s really cheap and I have done it for years.

7. Volunteer. I guarantee there is someone out there that will take free help from you. Whether it is helping them tighten up their firewall, making sure their wireless is locked down or helping them write policies and procedures. There will always be places that will except free help. Gain experience for your portfolio.

8. Attend Conferences. I love doing these. First, the free swag is awesome. Second, there is no greater way to meet people, shake, hands, and build relationships with people in this industry.

9. Start a security blog. Teach others what you know.

10. Find entry level jobs. Trust me, there is someone out there that is hunting for somebody like you. Go find it.

@anigray My fav Alaye 🔥 🔥

[SportsDokita (Odogwu ☝️) @Sports_Doctor2]

“Timing in life is everything and maybe this is your moment now”
- Simon

It might delay but when it’s your time, the universe will come together to make things work for you.

Congratulations @lorenallred
It’s Well Deserved 👏👏👏

[SportsDokita (Odogwu ☝️) @Sports_Doctor2]

She got a standing ovation led by Simon himself and a golden buzzer that send her straight to the semi-finals of BGT.

But it’s what Simon said at the end that summarized the whole show.

Next slide.

[SportsDokita (Odogwu ☝️) @Sports_Doctor2]

You will just know she’s truly the voice behind the song because she bodies it effortlessly.

It’s the lyrics of this song that makes me teary every single time.

She had the “Almighty” Simon and BGT judges spellbound from start to finish.

[SportsDokita (Odogwu ☝️) @Sports_Doctor2]

She was the voice behind one of BIGGEST songs ever but many didn’t know until she came for “Britain’s Got Talent”

Her audition left me emotional and had me covered with goosebumps.

You know “Never Enough” in the movie, “The Greatest Showman”, see the face behind the voice.

@RufusOnya @abati1990 It’s the people clapping for me 😂
