Fellow Africans, listen to him.
He is talking about the leeches, parasites, predators, and opportunists taking advantage of Africa, which is aided from within.
He is also saying that the feckless political leadership in African are collaborators.
I ask my president @WilliamsRuto, are you a collaborator?

I recommend to you, the average Northerner's stoicism. A stubborn refusal to panic & be disillusioned when things don't go as planned. That in-bred discipline to accept all outcomes as the perfect will of the creator. No questions asked, no kvetching. Just a shrug & smile. Elite.

According to scientists, the bumblebee's body is too heavy and its wing span too small. Aerodynamically, the bumblebee cannot fly. But the bumblebee doesn't know that and it keeps flying.

When you don't know your limitations, you go out and surprise yourself. In hindsight, you wonder if you had any limitations. The only limitations a person has are those that they accept....

Good morning!

This is Imran Chaudhry and his wife Bethany. Both of them are former employees of Apple. Imran Chaudhry was a designer at Apple. He worked at Apple for 20 years. He designed many iPads, iPhones, and accessories. Bethany was responsible for all of the iOS projects.
The duo founded their company Humane five years ago.
Yesterday, they launched their first product and blew up the technology world. Their product is called a mobile phone replacement.

Humane has created a wearable AI assistant that will do all the work with your smartphones called “Humane AI Pin”.
It has a camera and mic and a projector.
You give it commands by speaking, you can call it, send messages, and it can also translate your call live. Its laser projector will display it on your hand.
You can check the time with it if you are busy. It will also reply to your calls and emails.
It will also take care of your health and food intake. You will see what you have eaten in front of it and it will tell you whether it is good for your health or not.

A few multinational companies have invested 200 million dollars in Imran Chaudhry’s company Humane, including Microsoft and LG Mobiles.
Humane's device has a Qualcomm chip, and Humane's investors include Qualcomm.

After launching this device, Humane is being called the killer of Apple and iPhone.
Humane has priced it at $700 and will start taking orders on November 16.

This hit me hard:

"20 years from now, the only people who will remember that you worked late are your kids."

The responses hit me even harder:

"The graveyard is full of 'irreplaceable' and 'important' people."

"I don’t remember what I was working on, I can’t tell you why it was important. But I can tell you how my not being there made my kids feel."

But I am of two minds here:

1. Being present with your kids is the most important thing.

2. Having your kids see you work hard with a clear purpose is a principle they'll remember forever.

It's easy to focus on the first point and lose sight of the second.

Understanding, navigating, and balancing the tension across the two is how I believe you ultimately "win" the game.

The reality is that not everyone has the luxury of building a life where they are going to be constantly present with their kids.

Some have to work two jobs or long hours to provide for them.

Some are working long hours to build towards some ambitious future.

Focus on what you can control:

1. Include your kids in the WHY: Make sure they know why you're working hard, why you're away, and why it's important.

2. When you're around, be present: Say yes to play and give them your full energy and attention. Time and energy are not the same thing. Your energy is what counts.

My dad's ability to navigate the tension is something I will always remember:
I saw him work extremely hard on things that lit him up intellectually, while never allowing them to consistently get in the way of what was most important to him (his family).

He would come home for dinner, play catch with me outside, then work late once I went to bed.

When he did have to miss dinners or games, I always felt connected because he took the time to explain the things he was excited about—why he was working hard on them and what he hoped to achieve with them.

I always felt included in the WHY and I always felt his energy and presence when he was around.

My dad controlled the controllable. I am forever grateful for it.

The entire narrative of work-life balance is flawed:

It's less about balance, more about harmony.

It's about how your work can flourish within the context of your entire life—how you can include your kids in the journey, how work and life can support each other (rather than fight each other).
In the end, I'd distill it down to three key points:

1. Ask better questions.
2. Embrace the imperfection.
3. Act according to your values.

If you can do that, you'll stay in the game long enough to win.

Everyone should read this excerpt from Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic.

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

My old man took me to the university, but he was travelling to a neighboring country that same evening and it was already 4:00 pm. He didn't want to show it but I could sniff his anxiety. Queues were long, every parent with kid: I turned to him, told him to go. I'd find my way. He hesitated. Asked if I'd be okay. I insisted.

When he left, I picked my things, went to the guards, asked them to look after my things. Picked my documents, marched confidently, straight into the registration hall like a regular in the institution. Like I'd been there before.

Even the dudes manning the gate didn't bother to stop me. I tendered my documents, they asked after my parents, told them I was alone, the madam stared into my eyes intently, said sorry, I said she needed not be. She stamped everything quickly, assigned me to the newest hostel in the campus.

I went there, another madam was admitting us. I greeted her respectfully, she said I was the 1st student to greet her that day, assigned me to a room with only 4 students, room 106 I still remember to date.

Called my father after an hour, he couldn't believe it. Said thank you, he'd almost missed his bus. I said it was nothing. And that was the last time he ever visited my university, he didn't need to. Everything there was to do, I did. And I did well.

It's one of my proudest moments, taught me that if you wanted something, you did not wait for it to be given to you. You take it. Adulthood is not granted, it is earned. It's a different generation though, but for me life lies in everyday exertions, and getting out of the comfort zone.

Thus, I am an adult today, and still walk mine own path. A path I chose. Every time.

Leadership is lonely. Ambition is lonely. Building is lonely.

Even if you have a great company or great spouse, a lot of the journey is internal & you're on your own.

It's really hard to bear, and people will drop out over time.

You have to want it in your core.

"Most seek in God what functioning governments provide" is @UjuAnya with facts only.
There is a reason black people church songs are about being provided for now and in future, or defeating enemies, while the rest have Hillsong abstractions like "I want to know You more"

This is the most powerful thing I have seen this year. I don’t know if I would have had the same restraint. Black men can save young Black men.

Frantz Fanon died in 1961, aged 36.

The same week, The Wretched of the Earth was published. And on the very same day, the book was confiscated and banned in France.

This film is based on that book. 📕

My dad had the best line about entrepreneurship:

"You aren't truly in the game unless you find yourself in the dead of the night, head in hands, sitting in the dark, with no idea what to do next."

When you find the secret to your peace, money, growth and success, keep it to yourself. People have bad habits of ruining things for others.
