Few words are enough.

[JP Attueyi @jpattueyi]

I read somewhere that parents have the most influence on their children from when they are born till when they are about 13.

From 13 to 26, people around them have the biggest influence around them.

Then from 26 onwards, the parents get a chance to become influential again.

Look at these and plan accordingly. When they become teenagers, make sure they have the right role models around them.

One other thing, parents that come from poor background who end up making it financially are most prone to having spoilt brats as children.

The reason is because they do not want their children to "suffer" what they suffered then they overcompensate and inadvertently do damage to their children.

They forget that some of the hardship they went through made them what they are.

I am not saying put your kids through hardship, I'm saying allow them to face some reality.

I will leave you with this quote:

"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times."

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

I have friends who are older and very fit because of their lifestyle. They don't drink or smoke and exercise daily. They also have the most unfit kids who don't follow their example. This has always worried me as I am raising young children. I have also seen families with hard-working and wealthy parents who raise the laziest and most entitled children.

We always want our children to do better than us, but when and where does this go wrong for most people? I think it comes from the time and attention we personally give our kids and the lapses we allow.

My wife and I are early risers. I have a particular sleep problem I am still trying to solve, but my kids can sleep all day on vacation if you let them. A friend with an older son who had just graduated and was back home, jobless, used to tell me how alarmed he was that the son would go out all night, come back early in the morning, and sleep all day.

I told him then that if he didn't force him to change that habit, he would remain jobless and stay with his parents longer. They eventually forced him to change, and he moved out. He has a job now and struggles a lot. His parents are concerned that he isn't thriving. He is now almost 30, and I think about this all the time. At 25, I was a beast and had started many businesses.

While we want our kids and young adults to experience life on their own terms in a world vastly different from the one we grew up in, we can't help but notice that others whose children were more disciplined are thriving better. One indicator I have seen that correlates with success in younger people is fitness.

A friend’s son started going to the gym regularly, and he even inspired his cousins to do so. I checked on LinkedIn recently, and he is doing exceptionally well as a lawyer and investment banker without any family connections or assistance. His younger cousins, who are looking up to him, are following in his footsteps. I decided to get my kids to spend more time with him.

The role models our children need may be closer to their age than ours. It is why we need to amplify the lifestyles of young, disciplined, and successful people more. Not every person will make it through creative pursuits. I stress this to my kids all the time. There are billions of YouTube channels, but there is only one MrBeast or IShowSpeed.

Social media is highlighting more unrealistic role models than the most useful ones. My daughter is likely one of the most intelligent young children that I know, but because she doesn't want to be seen as a nerd, she is adapting to popular culture to blend in, in a way that scares me. This sometimes affects the way she learns. While I don't want to restrict her now from experiencing the world, I have realized that she needs different role models.

My son’s role models are nerds, and he nerds out in ways that surprise me and it is also worrying. We can be watching a movie, and he goes online to research it and summarise the plot so he can leave to code. He is not experiencing life enough outside the internet.

They will either eventually be ok in a world very different from ours or struggle in a world that becomes worse than ours, without the skills to build personal resilience and strong social skills.

I recently had a personal experience that made me realize I was fortunate to have left home early and to have different role models from my parents. Having a broken home led to different outcomes for my siblings and me, but the fact that I had strong personalities like my mother’s uncle and the uncles I grew up around helped me learn a lot more about life and priorities.

The world is a very complex place, and life is not a bed of roses. While we want the best outcomes for our kids, we have to finally admit that they will learn far more from others than they will ever learn from us. The best thing we can do for them is expose them to the right kind of people early enough, then hope and pray that we didn't misread those people.

Maturity taught me that not every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman. And that’s okay!

Some are Deborahs: Called to lead, to speak boldly, and to stand on the front lines.

Some are Ruths: Faithful in quiet places, steady when no one is watching.

Some are Esthers: Positioned for influence, courage rising at the exact moment it’s needed.

Some are Marys: Chosen for surrender, carrying purpose before understanding.

Some are Hannahs: Shaped by prayer, strengthened through waiting and tears.

A woman got the dreaded red banner: "Your Google Storage is Full." She could no longer send or receive emails.

She deleted hundreds of photos. Emptied her spam. The warning wouldn't go away.

She pulled out her credit card, ready to pay the $100/year Google One subscription.

Her IT friend grabbed her phone: "Before you pay Google a monthly tax for the rest of your life, let me show you something."

He opened her Google account and shook his head.

"There are 8 hidden data hogs filling up your free 15GB. Google hides them so you are forced to upgrade. Let's fix this."

Here's what he showed her in the next 8 minutes. 🧵

🔥🔥 One of the easiest ways to make money is by solving problems or meeting the needs of the people around you.

Let me give you a practical example.

The area where my office is located is extremely busy. This year alone, we have recorded about two accidents involving people trying to cross the road because of the speed at which commercial motorcycles move along that route.

I noticed that people in my plaza often had to cross the road just to buy water or drinks. Rather than watch them take that risk repeatedly, I decided to provide a solution by making water and soft drinks available right within the premises.

Yesterday, I launched the idea, and the response was encouraging. People were excited because it saved them time, stress, and the danger of crossing the road. Even better, we recorded sales on the very first day.

The profit margin may not be huge, but that’s not the point. The little profit generated can take care of some minor daily expenses and reduce unnecessary financial pressure.

The lesson is simple: when you identify a problem and provide a solution, you create an opportunity for income. Sometimes, the best business ideas are not complicated they are right in front of you, hidden in the everyday needs of the people around you.

For 1-week-old broilers, giving multivitamins in an organic or natural way is possible, but you need to be careful, they’re still very delicate, and consistency matters more than experimentation at that stage.
Here are some safe, natural options you can use:

1. Fresh green leaf extract (very mild)
Use leaves like ugu (fluted pumpkin), spinach, or scent leaf (very little)
Wash thoroughly, blend with clean water, then sieve very well
Add a small quantity of the juice to their drinking water (light green, not concentrated)
Give 1–2 times a week, not daily

2. Garlic water (natural immune booster)
Crush 1–2 small cloves of garlic
Soak in about 1 litre of clean water for a few hours
Give as drinking water for a few hours, then replace with clean water
Helps with immunity and digestion

3. Turmeric water (tiny amount)
A pinch of turmeric powder in a litre of water
Acts as a natural antioxidant and supports health

4. Pawpaw (papaya) leaf extract (very diluted)
Use a very small quantity, well diluted and sieved
Good for general health, but don’t overdo it

Important cautions:
At 1 week old, chicks still need commercial starter feed as their main nutrition, don’t rely only on organic mixtures.

Always ensure clean water; hygiene is more important than supplements.
Avoid strong or bitter mixtures, they can reduce water intake.
Introduce anything new in very small amounts first.

If your goal is fast growth and low mortality, you might still combine these with a standard poultry multivitamin occasionally, it’s more precise.

They are 1 week today.

Green tea needs a squeeze of lemon to preserve its antioxidants.

​Flaxseeds need grinding to release their omega-3 fatty acids.

​Potatoes need cooling after boiling to create resistant starch.

​Asparagus needs a drizzle of olive oil to absorb its vitamins.

​Kale needs a massage with salt to soften its tough fibers.

Carrots need cooking to boost beta-carotene absorption.

​Spinach needs lemon juice to unlock non-heme iron.
