The education system is broken. Costs are rising. Outcomes are falling. Kids are bored, parents are frustrated, teachers are over-worked and under-appreciated. The Wall Street Journal just profiled the most promising solution I've seen. Their results are so good that you're

I think the one thing I'd want *good* teachers to know is that: You can deliver the best explanations, checks for understanding, feedback and independent practice in the world. BUT If you don't have a plan for long term memory, retrieval and repetitions...it's all for nought.

The world bends faster than you think. Get crystal clear on what you want. Move like it’s already yours. No hesitation. No backup plan. Just full pressure. Suddenly, things shift. People show up. Doors open. It looks like luck. It’s not.

Invest in yourself and gain knowledge. That's how you build wealth.

Nothing being built in Nigeria today, is of enduring value. So there will be a lot to be rebuilt in future.

Last year, I started a business to help women secure the bag and build thriving careers. Now? We have an office, a community of over 100k women across platforms, and we’re hiring women—plus providing MacBooks for productivity. And I’m only 24. Grateful🙏

If you are above thirty, this isn't the first time Africa's future has been "written off completely" - in your lifetimes. Africa's future was written off completely, by the West in the 1990s. In fact, that was the subject of Kaplan's "Coming Anarchy" essay.

You can feel the authenticity 🤌🏼

flow state. that scene in f1 when brad was flying. in whiplash, when miles teller was one with drums. when time slows down and you are operating at a frequency beyond thought. you are no longer making something, you are simply the conduit through which it comes into being

Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.

African countries with any hopes of development and sovereignty need to pick a side. "Nonalignment" has always been a comfortable lie told by countries too afraid to own their real geopolitical situations. You have enemies. Real enemies. There's no point pussyfooting around it.

This guy literally breaks down how to talk so people actually listen to you

People need to really understand how versatile locally-available materials can be. Just take a look at this 🤌🏼

The purpose of education is to inspire the desire for learning in students and make them able to think, understand, and question. Not grades.

The greatest muscle you can build is urgency. Decrease the time between having an idea and getting it done. Everything changes.

I saw these on Pinterest and they just evoked something in me.
