“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, design a building... program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

James Clear: The ability to bounce back quickly is a key skill in life.

If you wait for someone else to anoint you & give your permission to pursue your dreams, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life. Anoint yourself today.

James Clear on the antidote to anxiety:

[David Nahinga Π 🇰🇪✊🏿 @dnahinga]

Flat roof capital cost in Kenya sits 12-18% higher than pitched for the same floor area because of extra concrete, steel and two-coat waterproofing. Annual maintenance for a 200m2 flat roof averages Ksh 85,000-120,000 versus Ksh 15,000-25,000 for pitched.

The hidden cost most clients miss is repeated membrane replacement every 7-10 years. The ROI calculation for a developer is simple: factor 15-year maintenance into the initial tender; if the gap exceeds 8% of total project cost, switch to pitched.

First step today: instruct your QS to price both roof types over a 15-year horizon and return the difference in one table.

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

I’m in love with this Japanese word, Komorebi.

It captures not just the visual phenomenon but the serene, fleeting beauty and sense of wonder.

Robert Greene: Learn by Doing.

“The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.”

Tolstoy’s advice to achieve a long term goal:

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Don't spend all your time getting ready to do things. Eventually you have to actually do them. You learn a lot more by writing one story than by reading ten books about writing. You learn a lot more by solving twenty math problems than by watching twenty videos about math.

Marc Andreessen on the power of relentless action:

“The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.”

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

If you don't take initiative to intentionally seize each day, one day you'll wake up and realize that years have passed, and they have seized you.

@Briankariu @carpathianzungu Long story short, worth it but to a very niche market.. For the rest of us nope

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.

The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.

Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.

There is just less competition for bigger goals.

Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."
