This study published in The New English Journal of Medicine on 3rd June 2026,

Affirms that FASTING slows the progression of breast cancer (and prostate cancer)

It says,

Fasting for 48 hours weekly improves the responsiveness of these cancers to anti-oestrogen drugs like Tamoxifen.

Functionally illiterate experts who tell patients with cancer to eat 9 meals a day, won't believe it.

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."

— Napoleon Hill.

Belief is not a magic wand, belief is a contract.

The mind signs it, and then the body, then the schedule, and then the mouth begins to honour it.

YES, YOU CAN.

Believe it.

there is something incredibly satisfying about reading the first page of a book, and immediately something in your brain sits up and goes 'oh, i'm going to like this' — and then every subsequent page proves you right.

For the last 14 years I have been running a Nyambura Scholarship (in memory of my late mother) for high school students from Limuru. For this year's cohort, one of them has been admitted to the University and is in urgent need of a laptop and a phone. Anyone in Kenya or going to Kenya with either to spare? It will go a long way.

Along the same lines more generally, if traveling to Kenya or in Kenya and can help, let me know as there is serious need for tech. In a small way we can level the playing field for the Nyambura scholarship kids.

Most of your doubts are imaginary. Most of your limitations are self-imposed. Also: most of your excuses suck.

The outcome of anything you do, is directly proportional to the depth of your discipline.

The shallower the discipline, the shallower the outcome.

A mistake that cost me 5 years: Thinking preparation was progress. Reading every book. Taking every course. Planning every detail. Meanwhile, someone dumber than me started badly and figured it out. Preparation feels productive but it's often just fear dressed up as strategy. You learn to swim by getting in the water, not by studying water.

We don't need more time, we need less fear. The calendar isn't the problem—your lack of courage is.
