@Tshehlo6647731@IanCameron23 Pity so few cpuld tome out to share on this thread. People are busy. Sure they, the SAPS get tired to. When wearing other shoe I can understand. But hear you. Called myself a few times. Could not agree more with the few people on this thread
The losses
of the present
may be excruciating
Yet still,
we hope;
that the gifts
of tomorrow
will be enough
to soften
the wounds
of yesterday
That joy,
when it arrives,
will teach our hearts
how to carry
what pain
could not erase

I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.
A "cognitive bias" is a built-in glitch in our brain that quietly sabotages good decisions.
These are the 11 craziest and most dangerous cognitive biases I've found: 👇
1. Survivorship Bias
9. الـ Pre-mortem
قبل تطلق مشروع، اجمع فريقك واسألهم:
“تخيلوا بعد 6 شهور وهذا المشروع فشل بشكل كبير. ليه؟”
اكتب الأسباب. وبناءً عليها، حط إجراءات حماية في خطتك الحالية. توقّع المشاكل قبل لا تصير.
Did you know South Africa is the only nation on Earth permanently occupying the most strategic "dead zones" of the Southern Ocean? 🌍🇿🇦
While we own Marion Island, we are the exclusive operators of Gough Island (a UK territory). No one else is there. Just us.
The Brave Few:
❄️ Marion: ~18 SA researchers
❄️ Gough: ~10 SA specialists
The Mission: These islands sit in the "Weather Factory" of the planet. Because most Southern Hemisphere storms are born here, our teams provide the pulse for:
✅ Global long-range forecasts 📉
✅ Critical data for international shipping & aviation 🚢✈️
✅ Early warning systems for extreme climate shifts ⛈️
Without these South Africans living in total isolation, the global community would be flying blind.
We are the world’s eyes in the middle of nowhere. What a country!!! #ProudleSA 🇿🇦
$2B a day to ‘reopen’ the Strait of Hormuz except it was never closed before illegal war. That’s not policy, that’s burning people hard earned tax money to justify a war. Global crisis manufactured out of thin air and ordinary people pay the price while bloodthirsty leaders sell chaos as strategy.

Think for a moment:
How many struggles?
How many battles?
How many difficulties?
How much sadness?
How much happiness?
How many love stories?
How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...
My parents were married for 33 years.
Not once did I hear the word “divorce” mentioned in our home.
Not during arguments, financial pressure, or difficult seasons. Never.
Before my wedding, my father took me aside and shared a few words that have stayed with me ever since….
A "Paradox" is a statement that seems contradictory but actually contains a hidden truth.
Once you see them, your worldview changes forever.
Here are my 10 favorite mind-bending paradoxes that will upgrade your thinking & decision making: 🧵
1. The Paradox of Choice
The path to a quiet mind and strong spirit is not just about what you do..
It's about what you consciously refuse to do..
These are the silent battles you must win within.. 🧵
