I’m convinced that 99% of success is just the ability to stay in the game. The best things in life are a result of compounding. But you can’t compound if you let yourself get taken out of the game. Whatever storm life throws your way. Adapt. Survive. Advance. Stay in the game.

1. Understand the "11:00 PM Freedom Window"
All day long, an ADHD adult spends their energy answering to bosses, schedules, chores, and household demands.
At 10:30 PM when the house finally goes quiet, it is the very first minute all day that nobody expects anything from them—so going straight to sleep feels like fast-forwarding straight to tomorrow's work alarm without getting a single minute of personal life. 2/6
Increasing taxes and cost of doing business in the age of AI is crazy.
The number of people we have hesitated to hire in the past 2 years is not trivial and this makes it worse.
It’s not that you sit and say we won’t hire 4 additional staff. The friction just discourages you slowly over months so you keep saying we are doing ok now, we will do it next quarter, then again, then again.
Hiring and creating jobs should be a happy event in an org. There was a time we would hire personnel almost every quarter and could afford to keep some personnel just for relief and backup with full knowledge that their plates are semi-empty but we could afford having trained people just waiting. Zambia is forcing us all to treat it like a mini life/death decision.
It is a shame that Africa continues to tolerate these scammers and crooks.
Extermination of papa industry is another point on which I would be called a brutal dictator should I be given the opportunity. They might even throw in ruthless here and there.

I visited a barbershop at Ibex Hub. Instead of the usual ladies who do the head thing, a guy did it & I only realized after he had started coz I felt his rough bony fingers scratching my scalp.
Last time I went there.
It’s not even like that in that way, but let’s have order.
That’s how Mwewa experiment ended.
Evict street vendors with dignity, minister urges councils

Anyone know a good Vehicle Aircon shop or person in Lusaka.
Heats ok but zero cooling even after adding gas.
The latest hasbara line is he should have kept going.

Trump’s biggest mistake heading into the midterms was his constant flip-flopping on Iran. Nobody would have objected to him going in and finishing the job. But instead, he kept announcing bogus peace deals that were never real, seemingly to manipulate the markets.
Last April, Trump had the opportunity to cripple the Iranian regime once and for all, but he backed off, giving Tehran the impression of American weakness and allowing this conflict to drag on.
This could have been over months ago, oil prices could have fallen, and the economy could have been in a much stronger position. Instead, Trump’s endless pauses, fake deals, and JD Vance’s push for a phony diplomatic agreement cost Republicans dearly at the ballot box.
