There are three places where a country is changed: the garden, the classroom, and the home.
The garden teaches discipline and respect for nature.
The classroom builds knowledge and skill.
The home forms character, work ethic, and responsibility.
A country grows when its people carry these values into production, industry, markets, and public life.

"We often measure advertising in impressions... but rarely do we measure it in craftsmanship."
And that's why the advertising and film industry in ๐บ๐ฌis stagnated.
Tell a client your budget to the idea and they'll opt for cheaper. But to survive, one comforms to usual. Repeat.
It takes you 5-7 seconds to look at this structure, which took @vacker_advert 27 men to build, over 4 weeks...
This is the COLD REALITY when it comes to #OOH/ #billboard placements.
Last week, I wrote about how @DStvUganda & Vacker got Ugandans excited for the World Cup. Today, I want to talk about the people behind the build.
๐ Before motorists/ passersby stop to take pictures at Jinja Road roundabout, there was design ideation, then came steel fabrication, moulding, 3D work, sanding, painting, panel installation, and finally, crane deployment.
The finished installation may carry the DStv brand, but its fingerprints belong to 27 people. We often measure advertising in impressions, views, and reach, but rarely do we measure it in craftsmanship.
We (myself included) usually celebrate creatives and brands all the time, but today, I celebrate the builders. Tag an #OOH project/ #billboard/ team whose craftsmanship deserves recognition.
A kinetic ceiling installation at Costa Navarino, Greece, designed by K-Studio for The Romanos resort, uses fabric panels that sway with sea breezes. The wave-like motion filters sunlight and enhancing natural airflow to keep the beachside restaurant cool.
@DavidTumusiime@KKariisa Branding is a crucial but usually neglected or haphazardly done aspect. We usually think signpost and uniforms.
But yes, for an entity like NBS, a distinctive sound or set of sounds would be top priority.
Now that they've heard...
Keep making what no one is asking for, Keep saying and thinking of the things no one is, keep being open to new things, perish biases from thought and actions.
Many won't understand you, you'll get frustrated, you'll want to be like them but in the end, its fulfilling.
I realised this with dad (RIP).
I love both and each time i shared my chai and cooking with him he seemed better ~ppetite and countenance. Untill a herbal expert told me.
Just owned a tiny bag of whole nutmegs i found in his room recently. https://t.co/R4GvjHvxHk

Thing is you dont have to go anywhere. A meditation, good read, PE, anything good for your mental or physical health.
But also, yes, youbcan just sleep all through and it's ok.
I have always asked people who accuse Coasterians of being lazy: "you want these people to wake up at 6 am, to go where exactly?"
Industrial complex? Dead. Corporate? Nonexistent. Temperature? Hell Celsius. Soil? Acidity. Infrastructure? a rumor.
Wake up at 5 am to go where?
@nickopiyo@PyeparFaisal These two ladies are the warmest media people of all time. Empathy/ humane levels out of this world.
Some mistake arrogance for being factual and unbiased.
I like how Europeans and Americans are quickly learning to seperate African political leaders and politics from the people.
Thanks HE. Trump for this beautiful lesson.
AFRICA
- The least developed of the major inhabited continents. Most observers think it's a lack of democracy. But countries that hold free and fair elections are not much different from those that don't. What, then, is the problem?
This is the subject of today's discussion.
These things are always well thought out but i am very emotionally attached to Fr.98 my first WC.
Qatar22 is 2nd as a designer and then Rus18. But De.06 is fine too.
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, โNope. I will not be participating.โ
