Life Outlook (FYI: Not the whole story)

My Life Outlook


I'm not the first and not the last to write on this. They have written and will continue writing on this subject. Life is what you make of it. John Milton once said, "The mind is its own place and can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven."


This leads me straight to what Kendrick recently said when he said that "As I get a little older, I realize life is perspective. And my perspective may differ from yours." I mean, my perspective may differ from my perspective next year. Hence, the disclaimer that this is "Not the whole story". Change is a sign that one is thinking and reconsidering his position based on new information/evidence. Change is growth. I will hate to hold the same views I hold today in 5 years. But, if I still have the same opinion, I need to have more evidence than I do today.


Life is a perspective. Reality remains objective; we just mess it up when we run it through our mostly subjective interpreter software: the mind. The mind is full of templates, new and outdated. I appreciate that this planet 🌍 has been spinning on its axis and in orbit around the sun for billions of years before I came and will continue after I'm gone. I will be more like the universe when I'm no more because what makes me special in the universe is that I am made of the same elements the planets, stars, and galaxies are made of.


One thing is for sure, since E=MC², meaning that my mass = The stuff that makesup my body will be converted into energy, and as you know, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So I have been here and will continue to be here, The immortal! 


Remember, it's all about the survival of the fittest, not the realest. But those who are able to manage reality survive better. Manage your perspective.

Every Day in Gangster's Paradise

"As a general rule, if you believe *everything*  your political party says, you are an idiot." - Elon Musk "The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics." - Thomas Sowell. "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." -  Ronald Reagan. "Everyone has a price, the important thing is to find out what it is." -  Pablo Escobar. Voting is basically an act of deciding who you want to give the power to exercise the government's monopoly on violence. Remember, this violence must be directed at someone, in some cases it might be directed back at you. In a democracy, you vote and regret. The major party politicians are all of different characters. From communists, capitalists, liberals, social democrats, tribalists, white supremacists, pan-Africanists...

Never Stop Learning

Keep Your Genius on the Move This monologue was part of the previous one and takes my view on learning to the next level. Before I can say anything on this post, the knowledge of self is the most important knowledge you can ever possess. Allocate time to learn about yourself, in other words, the history of who you are and where you come from. Be inspired by the lives of the former and carry the torch forward with pride. Remember, a man can never get himself together until he knows who he is. One thing about being a curious person is that one often asks simple questions, which may appear stupid, but do stupid questions exist? One does not simply ignore what one does not know and takes the opportunity to ask right there. I often find myself asking people things that they think I ought to know, that is, even though in those cases, I genuinely do not know what is expected of me. Just wondering in the maze, life is interesting. The best way to learn in my view, is the hard way, that is, th...

Paying the Price: Unleashing Your Exponential Potential

It Will Take Whatever It Wants. The price is always different, mainly because of our virtues, cultures, DNA, religions, and simple basic behaviours. For example, what it cost me to get a BIng didn't cost some of my mates/peers. Those who were in a class with me knew there was a guy who used to come to class with a blue cooler box full of goodies. He was the best 1st year Engineering student, and I think he later got the degree with Cum Laude. Me! I had a lot of non-school-related issues to manage, e.g., cooking, making new friends, and other village-to-city adaptations. But in the end, we all got BIng degrees after paying incurring different costs. To get where you want to go, it will cost you whatever it wants. You have to pay the price that is on your quote/bill. We are all dealt different hands by nature. It is just that it tends to take more than you initially imagined, and even more the older we get. There's just too much stuff to lose as we become risk-averse. Changing co...
