BREAKING NEWS: Avoid cheap dopamine hit of announcing everything to people. Life is easier when no one knows NOTHING about you.

[Oreoluwa Bukola, CFA. @BukkyOA]

My top 3 observations of successful people:

📌 They act right away. There’s almost no gap between a bright idea they’ve made up their minds to build and when they start working on it.

📌 They don’t stay confused for long. They pick up their phones, call others who may know the answer or consult to get to the answers quickly.

📌 They don’t stay around trying to make good, perfect. They have a threshold for ‘decent’ and they optimise for that. They do not sit around too long for details that don’t matter.

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

Don't give up. Try everything. Exhaust every option. Knock on every door. Ask and ask again. Keep going even when you're tired. Be pertinacious with your efforts, your thoughts, your prayers, your kindness, your love, your work. You are incredibly capable.

@_thabang_m Awesome!

Read books.

Most of the problems people face with money, career, and life are not new. Someone struggled with it, studied it, and wrote the solution down decades ago.

Books compress experience. You get 30 or 40 years of someone else’s lessons in a few hours. That is why reading saves you time, money, and unnecessary mistakes.

If you want better results, borrow better thinking from people who have already been where you are trying to go.

If the last few days of this World Cup didn’t teach you anything about humans, I fear you may never learn.

Jeremy Doku wanted to leave the Belgian camp to be there for the birth of his first child. There was outrage. A french media personality criticised him publicly. Called him names. Said he was throwing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cut an umbilical cord.

Didier Deschamps' mother passed away. He needed to leave. Everyone understood. "Rest in peace." "Take all the time you need." Full compassion. No questions asked.

Read that again.

We are comfortable with a man leaving to bury his mother - but a man leaving to witness the birth of his child is controversial?

That’s an express show of the insensitivity that has become prevalent today because everyone has an opinion on everyone’s lives.

Death gets grace. Life doesn't.

That is the hypocrisy.

Once a celebrity dies, watch the entire timeline filled with people saying

"give people their flowers while they're alive" and "cherish your loved ones" but it's performance. It's paparazzi.

Because the moment a man actually chooses his family in real time, over work, over ambition, over the World Cup - suddenly he's irresponsible.

We only honour love when it's too late. We only respect presence when someone is gone.

If you ever find yourself having to choose between your family and your work, choose your family. 100% of the time. Not 99.

Workplace is ruthless. If Doku drops a stinker during a game, nobody cares about his sacrifice, HE WILL BE TAKEN OFF.

Your family IS the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

May God strengthen the family of the bereaved and may he add more joy and laughter to the family celebrating new life.

One of my colleagues from the US, visiting the UK, decided to come to my city for an in-person chat today.

We talked about so many things career-related, and I helped them reframe some of their experiences right now, working in a Big 4 firm.

One of the profound things we touched on is knowing how to separate opinions from facts, irrespective of who they come from.

For instance, if my boss thinks I may not be able to handle an assignment, that may just be their opinion, which I do not need to subscribe to, dwell on, confirm, or make my reality. Instead, I take a feedback based on facts and continue to build on myself.

Because I am not dwelling on negativity, I give room for objective growth and positive reinforcements that help me prove them wrong without even trying.

The same boss who said some months back that I wasn't capable will take a 360 and say they trust me. Again, their opinion.

Opinions are benign; they have almost no impact on your career if you make it that way.

By the way, this is not made up; I have experienced it too many times in my journey. So, now I teach it to other professionals.

You’re not accomplishing your more important goals because you’re unwilling to sacrifice your less important goals.

@PoojaMedia If I nor follow you, wetin I gain?

Cause I can't point 'em out

Or which one to blame
It's just people, people
Deliver me

As Jonathan McReynolds rightly puts it:

They are the best and the worst you've created
Loving and hating and opinionated
Loners in basements and those congregated
Deliver me

Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking
Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking

[Deborah Ocheido @d_ocheido]

I told God that I will come back and quote this tweet

Because?????

My Bible tells me that “the curse cause less shall not come”

And I thank God that God is not Man

Because I said #Covabodi

This is what someone wished on me

I took the name out because I have forgiven them

I want to let you know, that only God has the final say in your life

Carry this mind as you enter the new year

GOD IS NOT MAN

ONLY THE COUNSEL OF GOD SHALL STAND

NO TONGUE THAT RISES AGAINST ME OR MINE WILL PROSPER

Thank you Jesus🙌

[David Igbineweka @odil2me]

Don't know what validation I was seeking
Deliver me from

People, people
When you said you could heal me from many things
Did you mean
People, people
Deliver me

[David Igbineweka @odil2me]

@BukkyOA Of all the actual correct answers I have in mind, I choose to go with "too much wisdom"😂

Here's my thought, "is there a way to catch these funny characters by using their phone numbers"?

[David Igbineweka @odil2me]

I just received a call from 07061290094. Here's how the conversation went:
Caller: hello
Me: good afternoon. With whom do I speak?
Caller: good afternoon. My name is John Okafor, your customer rep from your bank.
Me: which bank?
Caller: so you don't know your bank?...(Hangs up)
