The Electrifier (J.F.K)

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (J.F.K.) - The President of all Time (P.O.A.T.)


I don't claim to know all the presidents that ever lived or are alive, but from the list of those that I know, J.F.K stands as the greatest president of all time. 


The Kennedys were born leaders. They are what is called a political family, just like the Bush family. And on the other side, we have the science families like the Bernoulli and Curie families. There is something admirable about how these families conduct themselves. We can learn a lesson or two from these specialist families.


J.F.K. was the 35th President of the United States. I would vote for J.F.K. to be the President of the world government. The youngest President to ever hold the U.S. highest office. Like most people, I learned about J.F.K. from his assassination, which fascinated me to go and study a bit about his life. For sure, he was a man full of hope and, may I say, ahead of his time. And despite being catholic at a time when Americans weren't ready to have a Catholic president, he prevailed. 


There's something about him that sparks. Hence I say he had the ability to electrify the citizens. I think that thing was the politics of morals rather than written laws. I find J.F.K.'s speeches timeless; for example, his T.V. "Address to the Nation on Civil Rights" can be played today, and one will say this is precisely what we are supposed to be doing today.


No wonder the U.S. managed to go to the moon within the timeline set by J.F.K. Unfortunately, he wasn't around anymore to see the Apollo 11 land. I think J.F.K. is the only President who could get me to signup for the army. They don't make them like him anymore. They are made by Polls and Tweets driven by mistrust of freedom of speech.


Please find below the speech titled "We choose to go to the moon" by J.F.K. at Rice University, Texan, in 1963. I find this speech timeless. It has something that says get things done despite any headwinds and tailwinds one may encounter along the way. So, without jibber-jabbing too much, please enjoy this 18 minutes speech that I think will change your life as it did and continues to do mine. Furthermore, 18 minutes is a minimal time investment.


The main quote I take from this speech is "I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid."

Let's take advantage of Neuroplasticity and redesign and rebuild our brains/minds, mainly by doing the hard things.

"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...
