Elites have a knack for telling people who are suffering now, how much better the world is today. They do not realize that, not only is today’s suffering real to the sufferer, but also that sufferings of the past are not my reality. I do not & did not live then. I live NOW!
I always felt bad about being a ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ cos of how the figure of speech was used.
Then I found the full saying is “Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one.”
@AffiSupaStar I have a take on this, and I have to admit that it has not been the most popular one out there.
Yes, more effort should be targeting tech and innovation towards more practical (I don't know about traditional) existing solutions. The world won't be changed by apps alone.
Discipline and structure are essential to reach our highest levels of thought. We are most innovative while we are working and moving things around, not when we're resting on the sofa waiting for a great idea. #TheOtherIdeas
" Meanwhile, the middle-income segment ( household disposable of USD10,000+) will account for 1.65mn households in 2022, up from 827,500 in 2018, although this will represent just 2.5% of total households by the end of our forecast period"
Does the above seem inflated?
We need an urgency to create systems that will move this country forward. Innovation & entrepreneurship is 1 way to do this. We need lots of experiments to be happening concurrently based off credible data. The clock is ticking!!!!
It takes discipline to quietly build capacity. Especially in this age. But it's the better way. You will know when you have arrived, you won't need to announce yourself, and neither will you need external validation.

"If you want to be successful tomorrow, it’s impossible. If you want to be successful a year later, it’s impossible. But if you want to win ten years later, you have a chance.” —Jack Ma
The lesson from Shyp and most of the on-demand failures is simple - most consumers won’t trade extra convenience for higher cost. There’s a 5% affluent market for it, but the mainstream want free delivery, so intermediaries beware.
