It’s so hot that after I left the eggs out of the fridge once I made breakfast - to eat it - the eggs hatched.

When do we get a new Mayor in Johannesburg? @DadaMorero @MYANC
Because the current mate hasn’t been doing a great job and now that he’s definitely going out, he’s not gonna do any work to help the residence of Johannesburg. We are screwed again.

A business cannot improve if it repeatedly tolerates the same unresolved problems.
There is a significant difference between discussing an issue and solving it.

I have not watched any movie featuring Gal Gadot since the killing started and her support of it became public.
While growing up, we didn’t have the same resources as my peers against whom we were competing.
They could have multiple private sessions weekly with top people in order to improve. We could, maybe - and with a lot of sacrifice - have one per week.
So to compensate for this, I studied & trained harder. I invested more time to make up for the lack of financial resources. I took the little knowledge I received and went deeper as well as ensures that I implemented everything everywhere.
Nowadays people who don’t have the resources don’t even want to invest their time; but they want to be better - dare I say it: they want to be the best.
The world doesn’t work that way. Do whatever it takes with the resources available to you now. Maximise.
If you’re not willing to do that, accept that your expectations must be adapted to your efforts.

People with strong personalities are only intimidating to people who have low self esteem.
If you’re secure within yourself then you won’t be threatened by others just being themselves unapologetically.

Every single traffic light from Sandton to Fourways does not work. Not a traffic officer to be seen.
In these areas that are predominantly, I assume, rate payers, it is atrocious.
Imagine in areas that are not in the suburb; the service delivery must be shocking.
Then you wonder why the current people have been voted out of power. It’s not a surprise.

People need to have more vision.
They need to deal with things on a long timeline and get perspective regarding the horizon.
A good example of this is a relationship. If you have a long-term vision of where you want to end up, then the bumps in the road in the interim are just stumbles or obstacles.
The same could be said for a business. If you know that things will work out and you are clear on your objectives and what you want to achieve, then you’ll do whatever it takes regardless of the pressure right now.
When you get to where you want to be - where you have envisioned yourself ending up - then in retrospect you will have 20/20 vision, and you will realise that what seemed insurmountable or large in the present moment was actually but a blip.
Lift your gaze. Look beyond. Imagine the future.

Why do I feel a bit overwhelmed?
I asked my AI to put all the things I need to do into decisions that I need to make specifically to complete a task.
It came back with over 500 decisions that I need to make.
Imagine having all that taking up space in your brain?
No wonder we have decision fatigue?

Running a business is just realizing how dumb you were 6 months ago every 6 months
Dear @GovernmentZA
Leaders shouldn’t be the best of the worse available.
Real leaders make tough calls, wise decisions, and inspire others to be greater.
I cannot see a single government leader like that in SA (who actually has the support), unfortunately.
We have a huge leadership deficit / void in our beloved country.
