Been at a burial and something hit me hard.
The employer finished praising the deceased employee. Then he reminded mourners that the sun is setting, the food is getting cold and the casket needs to go down.
That’s life.
Even grief has a timetable. People adjust. They go home. They eat. They sleep. Work resumes Monday. Yesterday, you were “irreplaceable.”
Today, they’re asking who’ll take your desk.
Bro, don’t spend your whole life trying to become indispensable to an institution.
Be present for your people. Build your soul. Do your work well. But remember: the world has a frighteningly efficient way of moving on.
Leave something behind that isn't just a job title. Because the world has a brutal way of teaching you this: you can be deeply loved but you still be replaced.
You cannot fix poverty while making enterprise nearly impossible.
I have heard every theory about why Africa is poor.
People blame colonialism, racism, education, laziness, or even African intelligence (the IQ theory). Still, none of those explanations tell us why our people struggle under one set of rules and thrive under another.
The problem is not the people. It is a system that punishes the very businesses that create jobs and prosperity.
