Figuring out the art of figuring things out

"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays."

[Aminu Dalhat @AminuDalhat]

You should never have fear of failure when you are the bottom.

There’s no shame in hustling to meet your goals.

Whenever someone tells you can’t do it, do it better and faster.

Eze That was cold

[Miyandy @Amahashi_]

I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this:

90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes.

That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up.

Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them.

We tell our kids:

“If you get lost, come find me.”

It sounds logical. It sounds empowering.

It’s WRONG!

The Mistake Most Lost Children Make:

When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically:

They panic.
They wander.
They try to find you.

Every step makes them harder to locate.

From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos.

Parents retrace their steps.
Security scans zones.
Staff lock down areas.

Search works best when movement stops.

When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered.

Stillness increases probability.

Movement expands the problem.

The first lesson is not “go find me.”

It’s this:

Stop. Stay. Yell.

Why Stillness Wins:

Think like a search team.

If a child stays put:

Parents can retrace steps.
Security can scan systematically.
Helpers converge to one fixed location.
The search radius remains small.
If a child keeps moving:

The search area expands.
Adults pass each other.
Missed connections multiply.
Minutes stretch into hours.
Stillness keeps the math on your side.

Teach Them Who to Approach:

The second mistake we make as parents?

We say, “Find an adult.”

Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter.

Teach them to look for, if at all possible:

A mother with children.

Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly.

It’s a clear, concrete instruction.

Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.”

They process visuals.

“Find a mom with kids” is visual.

A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known:

We often assume phones solve everything.

They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition.

But you must train it.

Practice it like a song.

Sing it in the car.
Chant it at bedtime.
Turn it into rhythm.

Repetition becomes recall.

In an emergency, recall matters more than theory.

The Code Word Rule:

One more layer of protection.

Choose a private family code word.

Something only your household knows.

If someone approaches and says:

“Your mom sent me.”

Your child asks:

“What’s the code word?”

No word.
No go.

This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly.

It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character.

Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck!

We don’t get safer by hoping.

We get safer by practicing.

Teach:

• Phone number
• Code word
• Stop, stay, yell
• Find a mom with kids

Multiple skills.
Simple instructions.
Clear visuals.

Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation.

Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts.

And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like.

That’s real protection.

George Weah won FIFA best player, retired, went back to school, obtained a certificate, went to US for his Degree and MSc, came back, joined politics, won Senate, contested for President, did a re-run, won, sworn-in, finished his term and left, and Arsenal have still not won UCL.

When I was in banking, I received 100s of calls from customers daily.

A few years after I left, my phone became super silent.

I’ve realized that people value you based on the value you give.

[Aminu Dalhat @AminuDalhat]

One very strange thing about life is that you may still not be successful even after working very hard.

Sometimes, you need a little bit of luck to hit the jackpot.

[Aminu Dalhat @AminuDalhat]

Congratulations on your new role.

First impression matters, so, try to create it this way.

1. Know what success means in the role. How'd your performance be judged?

2. Learn and observe how things are done, ask questions, and avoid rushing to change existing processes.

3. Please, build rapport with your boss and teammates. Very important.

4. Be reliable. Be time conscious.

5. Set boundaries for the things that you don't like.

All the best.

[Aminu Dalhat @AminuDalhat]

If you are resigning, I beg of you, do it professionally.

Don't burn bridges. Give that notice.

Be at your best during the transition period.

Corporate world is very small.
