This is exactly why South Africans have zero confidence in our justice system. A high-profile extortion & money laundering case against powerful taxi bosses involving millions in "protection fees" gets STRUCK OFF THE ROLL because the prosecutor simply didn’t pitch up for court. No explanation, no consequences for the State, just the accused walking out free while supporters cheer. How many times must we watch the NPA fumble basic court appearances, lose dockets, or beg for postponements? This isn’t a minor traffic case it’s serious organised crime affecting businesses and communities. Yet the system can’t even get the prosecutor in the chair on the scheduled date.Complete incompetence. The case can apparently be re-enrolled later, but the message is loud and clear: in Mzansi, justice is optional and the State is the weakest link.

You can spend a year constantly scrolling through social media feeds; reading things that trigger you, keep you entertained etc OR You spend same year reading (books, newsletters, podcasts, courses etc), questioning ideas, researching and sitting with the ideas that confuse you at first, forming your opinion. In the first phase of the latter, you might not have instant knowledge ready when asked but after like 2-3 years, the compounding starts. You see patterns others miss. You spot weak arguments immediately. You make decisions from understanding. By year 5, you would have spent years building your thinking instead of letting only algorithms do it for you. If you’re a young person, the leverage you currently have is time because life gets soooo busy as you get older and take on more responsibilities. A lot of people get to their first/second job and stop reading deeply. We rely on summaries of summaries. We outsource our thinking to AI because “ Omg, I’m so busy, I don’t have time to finish a book”… please dkm. The investment in quality information is in building yourself. Your ability to think. Your ability to see what others don’t and can’t. The years will go by either way, it’s what you do with them that you’ll see.🦋✨

I found this beautiful instagram page that shares monthly journal prompts one question for each day. Ive always Journaled but this is different.. it really helps train the mind to remember the good things and reconnect with what matters 🍃

A woman mailed Michael Jackson a gun, her photo, and a letter telling him to kill himself at a specific time. The song he wrote about her is sitting at #1 on Spotify right now, 43 years later. It started in 1981. She began sending Michael letters claiming he was the father of one of her twins. He had never met her, so he ignored the whole thing. The letters kept coming anyway. Then one day, a package showed up. Inside was her photograph, a gun, and a note instructing him to kill himself at a particular date and time. She planned to kill “their” baby afterward, so they could be together in the next life. The Jacksons later found out she had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. That is where the line “the kid is not my son” came from. The bass line you hear in the first eight seconds is one of the most famous in pop history. They almost didn’t find it. The bassist Quincy hired, a guy named Louis Johnson, walked into the studio carrying every bass guitar he owned. Michael made him play the same line on each one until they settled on a Yamaha. Then they layered a synthesizer playing the exact same notes on top, which is why the bass has that thick, almost glowing sound. The drum sound took even more obsession. Quincy Jones told his engineer Bruce Swedien he wanted a sound so distinct you’d know the song from the first three drum hits. So Bruce actually built a wooden platform for the entire drum kit. He put a flat piece of wood between the snare drum and the hi-hat cymbal to keep them from interfering with each other. He also built a custom cover for the kick drum, with a small slot for the microphone. Michael had programmed the beat on a drum machine when he wrote the demo at home. When it came time to record the album, drummer Ndugu Chancler walked in and played the same pattern on a real kit. He nailed it in three takes. Then came the vocal. Michael sang the entire main vocal in one continuous take. For the extra harmonies and adlibs on top, Quincy made him sing through a six-foot cardboard tube rigged up in the booth. Michael was also getting vocal training every single morning while they were making the album. The song hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983 and stayed there for seven weeks. Yesterday it hit #1 on Spotify Global with 6.02 million streams in a single day, the highest the song has ever climbed on the platform.

do you know that your brain has built-in reset buttons you never use? 1. overthinking? touch something cold and name 5 things around you. it helps pull your mind back to the present 2. no motivation? tell yourself “just 2 minutes.” starting is usually the hardest part 3. angry? inhale deeply, hold for 4 seconds, exhale slowly for 8. it helps calm the nervous system 4. can’t focus? chew gum. studies show it can improve alertness and concentration 5. feeling lost? write down 3 things you can control today. clarity starts returning immediately 6. panic feeling? count backwards from 100 in 7s. it forces your brain to switch gears 7. sudden sadness? sit upright, lift your head and smile for 20 seconds. your brain responds to body signals 8. feeling alone? place your hand on your chest and feel your heartbeat. proof that you’re still here, still pushing forward bookmark for later and send it to your friend who may need it too. buena suerte 👍

delusional optimism and relentless effort are the only way out. most people lose before they even start because deep down they already convinced themselves it probably won’t work. they look at the odds and the competition and they try to be more practical and slowly talk themselves out of their own potential. but the people who end up doing insane things usually have one thing in common. they were delusional enough to believe they could actually pull it off before there was any proof. that’s the weird power of delusional optimism. it makes you keep going long enough for reality to eventually catch up to your vision. i just can’t understand why you all are this realistic with your dreams. why you only allow yourself to want things that feel achievable from where you currently stand. every massive success story ever sounded delusional in the beginning. every athlete, artist, entrepreneur, creator, all of them had moments where nobody around them understood the vision. people laughed at them. doubted them. told them to be practical. but they kept going anyway because they were obsessed enough to trust something nobody else could see yet. i mean just think about it. you are alive and here in this world. the odds were already impossibly slim. you exist on a planet floating in infinite darkness where trees communicate underground, where dead stars became the atoms in your body, where creatures glow in the ocean without sunlight ever touching them. your own brain is made of electricity and somehow produces dreams, memories, ideas, emotions. everything about existence sounds insane if you really think about it deeply enough. so why do people suddenly become “realistic” or “practical”the moment it comes to their own potential? there is nothing realistic about being alive in the first place. so be delusional, that’s the only way out. you have to understand that your brain is always creating a story about your future whether you realize it or not. some people constantly imagine rejections and failure or things going wrong. and they live inside those thoughts every day. delusional optimism just means choosing a better story to live inside. it’s believing your life can become bigger than your current reality. it’s trusting that your efforts will eventually compound into something meaningful. it’s waking up every day and continuing to move toward something even when you can’t fully see the outcome yet and life will respond differently when you stop approaching it with fear all the time. when you truly believe something is possible for you, your whole behavior changes. you take more risks, you recover faster from failure, you become more aggressive about the things you want, you start giving your 100% and then your brain also starts searching for ways to succeed and completely ignore the reasons to quit. and over time all those tiny actions compound into a completely different life. you need to believe in your future a little harder than logic allows. cause only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible. “so yeah you need to be a little delusional. you have to believe in things that aren’t true or how else can they become?”

Huge part of friendship is being available and showing up. You’ll realize it’s genuine when it’s reciprocated.

So worth the listen on how to build an asymmetric life/deeply authentic life
