⏳⏳ Cheers to the night candles that never went off. To the ray of hope that never gave up flame. To the tears that kept calling for more and the Grace to go after more. Cheers, To the persistence and grit. To the illumination of purpose and humbling privilege to get the opportunity to touch lives and dream further. To the assurance in the Grace of the maker today, tomorrow and forever. Grateful. #BJA #TDMW

300 up ✅ Arsenal become only the 2nd side to amass 300 away PL victories, after Manchester United. An elite club 🌟

Underrated life skill: understanding opportunity costs. Every yes to one thing is a no to something else. Every new commitment takes time and attention away from your existing priorities. Before saying yes to something, consider what you're saying no to.

Reconnected with classical music past weekend. This has been the pick of the bunch so far and an early theme for 27. Flow….motion..fail fast, learn, iterate, act, live, discover and be in the moment. It always gets better. Anxiety, fear and doubt in the back burner. #BJA #TDMW

Ran my 10th half marathon of the year yesterday. What a difference a year can offer, with consistency and determination. Never in a million years could see this coming and definitely not been easy. 1km at a time, brick by brick beginning last year. Running has been a compounding release and outlet towards my physical and mental health. #BJA #TDMW #RunningClub

It’s the weekend. Time to take stock after a brutal week in the markets. I have caught myself thinking about what the money lost on screen could have paid for. Then I remind myself: regret is a feeling. It is not an investment strategy. 🧵

21 years ago I named "Reddit" and everyone said it was a horrible name, but I insisted one day people would say "I read it on reddit" and used my CEO-privilege to overrule everyone + kept the name. Now the company twitter account (unbeknownst to them) is making the joke. Heh.
I'd tell you a joke, but you've probably already Reddit.

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies & fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

Any great explanations for why the default catering menu options at certain Nigerian functions are either Nigerian or Chinese food. How did Chinese food get such a strong foothold? Why not Indian, or Lebanese, or an others?

Everything is urgent in corporate until you ask for approval. 😂

Errmmm. Context and location matters. For a COO and economic class I can imagine, none of such issues should come up where he is staying in CPT.
Replying to @levelsio
My COO lives in Cape Town. We talk daily and they have rolling blackouts there at least once a month. He lives in nice apartment with security guard and his apartment was still broken into. I think Bali is better.
