Compete externally and you compare. Compete internally and you improve.

I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives overthinking the first step. You don’t need more information, you need to act on the information you already have. Dopamine from information gathering is a dangerous drug. Get your dopamine from action.

Use the best idea you have right now. Claiming you need to 'learn more' or 'get your ducks in a row' is just a crutch that prevents you from starting. Education is a lifelong pursuit. You will always need to learn more. It's not a reason to wait.

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy. Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself. Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

Always believe in yourself, but earn that self-belief through labor. Even when it’s convenient, don’t lie to yourself. Take as little as you can for free, and carry few debts of favor. Live like this, and no matter where you find yourself, you’ll have nothing to fear.

The greatest value of marriage for me, is the bet of friendship and nothing reveals how precious and necessary that is, than adulthood. To have someone who is even willing to listen to you and understand you at all, is nothing short of a miracle.

The person who focuses on one task and sees it through to completion—even if they work in a somewhat slow or outdated manner—beats the endless optimizer who jumps from tool to tool and always hopes a new piece of technology will help them finish what they start.

We often think that we want an open road and the ability to choose any direction for ourselves. But sometimes, what we need is a tunnel that can reduce our choices and send us in a focused direction.

The joy of science isn’t in the certainty; it’s in the struggle to make sense of the chaos.

Nigerians are neither better nor worse than the rest of humanity. What is lacking in Nigeria, are consequences for bad behaviour.

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

What you do in private, shows in public. Reading shows in a conversation. Your diet shows in energy. Your discipline shows in confidence. Your focus shows in your results.

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking. You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.

Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

Once you step back from everything, and see what we really are, animals roaming the earth with finite lives, once you see that everything here is made up - money, values, culture, authority, religion - then you can say, fuck cringe, fuck control, and just live, truly live.

A lot of things involve hard work and waiting. Most can’t. That’s the difference.

You won't always get what you strive for, but you will definitely get what you settle for. You won't magically outperform your standards.

Biologically, optimism gives you an advantage. Protect it. Your brain performs significantly better in optimistic states - creativity, energy, and productivity all rise. Muting the negative is not only good for your mood, but your performance.

Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. Take the lessons with you and release the guilt. Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now. Be flexible with your future self. There are many paths to success. You don't need life to be a…
