Harsh truths I know at 47 I wish knew at 27:

1) As a leader or manager, when something isn’t going to plan, the first step is to look into the mirror.

2) Business can be ruthless. Even if you play fair, don't expect others to do the same.

3) Unlocking your full potential may alienate you. Not everyone will understand or support your drive.

4) “Resilience” isn’t good enough. You must go beyond “resilient”. You must become “antifragile”, whereby the more hits you take the stronger you become.

5) Your journey will be paved with failures, rejections, and heartbreaks. You’re either winning or learning.

6) Leadership isn't about power, control, or status. It's about serving others, even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient.

7) The world is non-linear. 20% of your actions will create 80% of your results. 20% of the people in your life will lead to 80% of your opportunity. It’s your job to identify the 20%.

It’s just as important to decide who you will no longer spend time with, as it is who you will.

9) Your job isn’t to master everything. Your job is to correctly identify that which should be mastered - and then find the person who’s 10x better than you at doing it.

10) Amateurs believe that feeling generates action. Professionals flip the script and know that action generates feeling. Make a decision to “Turn Pro” and take action, whether you feel like it or not.

11) To unlock your full potential, you'll have to face your own demons. It's an inner journey as much as it's an outer one.

12) Perfectionism is nothing more than procrastination in disguise. Practice deliberately “shipping before you’re ready”... that speech, that product, that plan, that presentation.

13) If you’re given 5 extra minutes on your deathbed you won’t use it to close another deal. You’ll hug your loved ones a little longer. You’ll tell them how much you love them. How much you care. Remember this, today.

14) Doing your best on the health and home fronts requires intentionality. Define what best looks like in each. And evidence it daily.

15) Relentless consistency and hard work are cornerstones of success. If you’re not where you’d like to be you’re probably not ticking both of those boxes.

16) Leadership includes making tough, unpopular decisions. It's less about being liked and more about being genuinely respected.

17) Business isn't about making money. It's about creating value. When you focus on value, the money follows.

18) Great leaders listen more than they speak. They appreciate the value of understanding different perspectives.

19) You honestly have no clue what you are capable of. Your full potential is far beyond what you believe it to be. Don't limit yourself.

20) As a leader you must role-model the behaviors you want to see. Don’t expect reliability if you’re unreliable yourself.

Divorce cases aren't that much in Nigeria

Saao:
are you not in Nigeria? Today I left ajah to Alapere ketu. I spent 5k to and fro. I thought it will be cheaper than driving, I end up spending more. Imagine someone earning 40k a month, how would they survive? Forget the politics and face the reality.

Which ONE of these is the HARDEST to find in Nigeria
A. True Love
B. Virgins
C. Jobs

Modern marriage is a living death for men.

I loved my wife for a while and she adored me and we had three beautiful children and still it slowly descended into tedious, grinding, soul-crushing misery. Endless nagging, constant complaints, ungratefulness, squandering money, walking back promises about shared goals, cheating, selfishness, deranged behavior, everything every man tries to avoid. It finally imploded after 8 years when she commenced a legal battle that cost us over $50,000 in attorney fees. Our children are scarred for life. We despise each other with a red hot hatred that I never would have thought possible. The real kicker? I thought I had gotten lucky when I met her.

Here’s the awful truth no one teaches young men:

The voluntary, love-based, monogamous marriage is impossible for the vast majority of people. Evolution favors variety. Deep in our unconscious brains we are programmed by evolution to repel each other. Marriage, at its core, was never about love. It was about survival and social stability and gender-based division of labor in a pre-modem era when the lives of everyone in the family unit, especially children, depended on that bond. Men are polygamous, women are hypergamous. We come from an alpha male/harem of females evolutionary dynamic, as do the vast majority of social mammals. Geneticists have proven we have several times more female ancestors than male ancestors. Such societies are inherently unstable however. Marriage was the solution to this problem that allowed us to create civilization.

Now marriage is irrelevant. Modern technology and the police and welfare states have solved all the problems marriage was designed to solve in the first place. Now it’s unnecessary. The practical origins of marriage are utterly lost on modern women (and a lot of men to be honest). We have replaced it with an unworkable, fantastical, imbecilic model based on voluntary commitment and romantic love WHICH DOES NOT WORK. Marriage’s days were numbered with the onset of the industrial revolution. In the 1960s and 1970s the religious and legal and social constraints that held most marriages together were dismantled. Worse still, we now have an antiquated family court system that punishes men but rewards women. Add in birth control and abortion on demand and smart phones and social media and dating apps and failure is practically guaranteed. Women are never satisfied. It’s in their DNA. Briffault’s Law is real. Marriage must be externally enforced (law, church, etc) for it to survive in the VAST majority of cases. Women are, by nature, materialistic and erratic and solipsistic and duplicitous and malcontented and emotionally disregulated and irrational. When it comes to men, a woman’s “love”is both opportunistic and extractive. No matter how much attention or money you give her it will never be enough. Just ask Will Smith or BIll Gates or Jeff Bezos or Brad Pitt (ETA: or Sylvester Stallone or Tom Brady). I don’t think it is biology possible for a women to be content in a relationship. It makes perfect sense from an evolutionary perspective. Lasting love (which is different from romantic love) cannot exist without trust. Men simply cannot trust ANY women given the current family court system and modern women’s ridiculous expectations and women’s underlying nature. When divorce became an option for every woman, at any time, for any reason, marriage became risk prohibitive for every man. No sane man would sign a modern marriage contract if he really knew what he was getting into.

Hell is a wife. Marriage ruins men’s lives. It will destroy your dreams. A wife will eat your soul. Being legally and financially at the mercy of a woman’s emotions is an exhausting, grinding, slow-motion horror I can’t even begin to describe. Marriage is nothing but a loaded gun pointed at a man’s head and the woman gets cash and prizes for pulling the trigger. I’ve had cancer and I’ve been married to a woman who loved me and cancer was preferable. At least I didn’t have to pretend to love the cancer as it was slowly killing me. At least cancer went about it in silence. At least cancer’s behavior was comprehensible.

Until the laws change and society reverts back to a rational model for marriage that is enforceable, NEVER, EVER, GET F-ING MARRIED IF YOU’RE A MAN!!
