Never confuse information with understanding.
You can have plenty of facts and still misunderstand the situation.
Facts need context.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

You cannot solve what you have not correctly identified.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Before you react, ask:

What do i know?
What am I assuming?
What am I missing?

That small pause can save you serious embarrassment.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

The loudest issue is not always the real issue.
Anger may be fear.
Silence may be resistance.
A price objection may be a trust problem.

Look beneath the surface

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Don't negotiate with an imagined problem. Find out what is happening. Assumptions can make you fight ghost

So another edition of #bbnaija don start be that.

Many people answer the wrong question with full confidence. Speed is not intelligence.
Pause. Observe. Investigate

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Until you know what you are dealing with, you don't know what you are dealing with.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

One dangerous thing about ignorance is that it often feels like certainty.
You may be completely wrong and still sound very convincing.

Experience is valuable. But experience can also become a prison when it refuses new evidence.

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Many people do not investigate problems.
They simply interview their own bias and call it research.
Agree or Disagree

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Some meetings are just five people sharing assumptions with PowerPoint.
True or False

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Stop treating every thought like a revelation.

Some thoughts are just guesses with good branding.

@BwalaDaniel @seunokin @ruffydfire My own is @bwalaDaniel is what did you not know then that you know now that changed your view about APC and Tinubu?

[yomi Olubiyi @Homex91]

Not every signed agreement is evidence of genuine agreement.

Sometimes people sign because they are cornered, exhausted, afraid or desperate.

Consent obtained under extreme pressure deserves serious examination.

Corporate language can make aggression sound respectable.

“Creating urgency.”
“Applying commercial pressure.”
“Testing their resolve.”

Sometimes it is simply intimidation wearing a tie.

A billion-dollar acquisition may involve polished suits, expensive lawyers and beautiful boardrooms. But underneath the grammar, human beings are still doing what humans have always done:

Testing power.
Protecting territory.
Managing fear.

"You can play after homework" sounds like a reward.
"You cannot play until you finish homework" sounds like punishment.

Same instruction. Different mood
