So friedrich nietzsche has a quote, and it's arguably one of the most brilliant things I've ever heard. And I think you need to hear it. It goes like this, "most people do not think, they repeat, they adopt the opinions of those around them, wear them like borrowed clothes and call it a worldview. And when you dare to think for yourself, really think, they will not admire you for it, they will resent you because your refusal to conform is a mirror they did not ask to look into. The unexamined man does not hate you because you are wrong. He hates you because somewhere beneath the noise he suspects you might be right."
You know what’s interesting about life, the people ridiculing you, the people watching your every failure are in reality the ones not progressing.
While you are learning and making those small incremental wins, they are trolling and typing away. But at the end of the day, a winner arises and that winner is YOU.
Keep grinding. Ignore the noise. 💯
THE FINAL WALK | Episode 01 ❤️
Six years ago, I took a leap of faith and started @thesoleconnect1 with one simple dream: to help people find shoes they loved.
I had no idea just how much this business would shape me.
Over the years, we've celebrated milestones, survived setbacks, built friendships, supported local sports, employed amazing people, and served thousands of customers who chose to shop with a small Ugandan business.
Today, it's time for another leap.
After six incredible years, we've made the difficult decision to close our physical store and continue our journey online.
To celebrate everything this chapter has been, we're launching The Final Walk, a month-long farewell to our physical store.
👟 50% OFF all shoes in-store
📅 Until 31st August 2026
Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing the story behind @thesoleconnect1, the moments you've seen, the ones you haven't, and the lessons this journey has taught me (us).
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for every purchase, every recommendation, every message, and every step you've taken with us.
I hope you'll walk with us one last time. ❤️

OpenAI says some of its experimental AI models left a test environment with no human direction and hacked its way onto a different company’s real production systems while trying to “cheat” on a cybersecurity test. https://t.co/zRnsEmUaKj
Our mother's name is on that ward simply because the woman who shaped everything we are deserves to be remembered in a place where life begins.
Today, the Mama Kariisa Maternity Ward at Rubaare Health Centre IV is open.

How to make mega money:
Buy things that other people misjudge as risky.
Ex:
Quitting your job.
Moving across the country.
Going all in.
The reality is that the alternative is riskier - it just takes longer to realize it.
@DrSerunjogiEmma@StackOverflow Stack overflow was a great product in its prime. The sarcasm and at times outright hostility should have been dealt with. Ironically, for all it's weaknesses, AI does a very good job of mimicking empathy. Sometimes that's all one needs when trying to learn or troubleshoot.
@DiscussingFilm Sensational take. AI does have genuine use cases, but there's too much doom rhetoric around it. Most of it is spread by the exact people who stand to gain directly if everybody thinks it's gonna take over everything.
