Across all human time periods, saying what you actually think has always been a pure demonstration of courage.

Don’t become so obsessed with getting ahead that you lose the ability to help others along the way.

The way people will watch you struggle with something they can easily help with, then say “you should’ve asked me.” BRO, YOU SAW ME FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE. WAS THAT NOT A CLEAR ENOUGH REQUEST?

Having people around you who genuinely want to see you win. No hidden competition, no jealousy disguised as jokes, just people who are happy when life works out for you.
Something people rarely call a luxury but should…

A person who cannot find peace in what they have will struggle to find it in what they desire.

As a neurodivergent, my biggest mistake was assuming everyone wants to know the truth.

I love direct communication. Please disappoint me in one clear sentence so I can get on with my day.

You gotta maintain a lightness to your heart because turning into a bitter loser obsessed with how people have done you wrong is the most off-putting and unrewarding way a person can choose to be

Be careful not to become impressive to strangers and unavailable to your family.

I’m becoming convinced that the only form of wealth that matters later in life is having adult children who enjoy spending time with you.

Bias is such a strong thing. People who don't want to change their minds will keep digging for shreds of fiction to support their flawed beliefs, even when it's glaringly obvious they are wrong. I see some arguments here and shake my head.

It’s easier for rich people to get richer bcos of the social capital they’ve built over time. When you start making money, it’s important people know you’re doing well. While some may see it as “showing off”, it can strengthen your social capital. When people perceive you as wealthy and influential, they bring you opportunities, proposals and business deals because they believe you have the resources, connections or credibility to make things happen. Those opportunities can help you grow your wealth even further.
Omo, Some people don dey hot for like 10 years straight man… no broke days! 😂

Your network is not who you know. It is who would vouch for you in a room you are not standing in. Build that second list. It is far shorter, and worth far more.

Note to self: Aggressively measure if something is working. If it’s not working, the solution is very rarely “try harder”. You are missing something. Take a step back.

You never understand the sacrifices people make to accommodate you, until you have to make such sacrifices for others!
