Saw this and did some simple maths.
55 packs in 6 months.
12 bottles in a pack.
12 × 55 = 660 bottles.
Six months is roughly 180 days.
So...
660 bottles ÷ 180 days = 3.67 bottles every day.
He drank about 4 bottles daily, and that's about 2.7 Ltrs/ day.
Health experts recommend 2-3 Ltrs per day, so he's doing very fine.
I equally drink Aquafina, and I finish 1 pack in less than 3 days.
But I've never seen it as a big deal, not until now.
And I'm thinking...
The reason many of you feel you are not doing well is because you have not set anything in place to measure your progress.
Small actions yield unbelievable results, and progress is easier to appreciate when it becomes visible.
Without conscious effort in the little things, don't expect any big results.
So...
Create metrics to help you track your performances over time.
Focus on the steps and leave the top of the ladder alone.
Before you know it...
You are at the top of the ladder.
I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
Stop calling it ‘love’ when it’s really just convenience with good chemistry. Real love shows up when it’s inconvenient…when you’re tired, when you’re broke, when the feelings have gone quiet and all that’s left is the choice. Anybody can love you on a good day.
The one who stays consistent on the boring days, the slow days, the days nothing exciting is happening. That is who you build with. Stop chasing excitement. Start chasing consistency.
Be guided.
The first thing Singapore did was to educate its people.
This journey is not even going to be long.
Nigerians are already very smart people.
Give quality primary and secondary education.
Bring in companies that can employ thousands of people.
Set them up in several states. See this mining situation. Get a hold of it and make it a very formal sector.
Allow the people who want to sell Akara and other things access to soft loans. Create a structure with every bank to help them be accountable. Like a credit score.
Fix electricity.
If it’s too hard to change all the lines, create solar plants for different clusters while you take a few years to fix power lines to be efficient.
Step by step, country will be better.
I don’t know why we don’t have a leader that wants to do this.
It’s not rocket science.
Life isn’t fair. Some have money but not health. Love but not children. Degrees but no job. Jobs but no peace.
The mistake is thinking someone’s life is perfect because you only see the part they’re winning in.
Everyone’s fighting something you can’t see. Be grateful for yours.
You people are too wicked. The life you don't wish for your children is what you wish for other people's kids.
Where does it end? Dont you have conscience?
“You have pimples on your face.”
“You're getting fatter.”
“You have a scar here”
“Your acne is bad”
Yes, I saw it in the mirror before leaving home. Now shut up, mind your business and leave me the fuck alone.
The woman selling akara is not praying for her kids to take over the business. She wants to give her child an education that helps him compete in this world.
It is one thing to be overtly stupid. It is another to be heartless.
