Learn to be down to earth. Be polite. Never become so successful that you forget how to treat ordinary people. Greet people. Say please and thank you. Respect the cleaner, driver, security guard, waiter, junior colleague and stranger with the same basic dignity you give someone powerful. You don't lose status by being kind. If anything, humility makes your success more meaningful. You can be powerful without making people feel powerless around you.

Tom Holland sharing a quote that said “if you have a problem with me, text me, and if you don’t have my number, you don’t know me well enough to have a problem with me” really stuck with me

Don’t underestimate what God can do in your life.

[Sheila of the Most High @sheilatebra]

Can we talk about the fact that God literally said, “I have plans to prosper you and not to harm you”? Because why did He have to add that second part unless He already knew we’d be suspicious? 🤔 Like, God really said, “Before y’all start panicking, crying, and making speeches in the shower, let Me be clear: I’m not trying to hurt you.” And honestly? Thank God for that clarification.

tupac recorded 501 songs, but only 2 became top ten hits.

van gogh painted 2,100 paintings and only sold 1 while he was alive and it was 6 months before he died.

sabrina carpenter released 67 songs and five albums over the course of 10 years before she had her big hit "espresso."

glen powell spent 19 years trying to become an actor before "top gun: maverick" made him a star. 19 solid years.

and connor story spent 8 years waiting tables and he was ready to quit acting for good. and the day he almost got fired, he got an email and he found out that he got the lead actor role in "heated rivalry," the biggest acquired hbo show in history.

and you are giving up because you tried twice? or maybe 10 times?

look, a winner is just a loser that tried one more time and that's just it

winners lose more than losers even try.

Nothing hurts more than knowing you have to own immense wealth to enjoy basic necessities.

In short, nothing hurts more than being a Nigerian living in Nigeria.

the taller you are, the more seriously they take you. the quieter you are, the more they fear what you're thinking. the deeper your voice, the more weight your words carry. the more muscle you build, the less they dare test you. respect isn't given, it's engineered.

Being “raised right” doesn’t mean you don't drink, party, and smoke. Being raised right is how you treat people, your manners and respect.
