India story remains amazing. Driven by massive infrastructure investments, digitisation for financial inclusion and generally making it easier to do business. And much more can be done

One of my favorite quotes is the one from Marcus Aurelius: ‘The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.’ I think it’s always good to remember it.

you become an adult when Christmas goes from being a profit centre to a cost centre

The best time to visit any tourist spot is a day after terrorist attack. The probability of attack happening again at the same spot that too on consecutive days is nil. Learn to use statistics to your advantage.

Wow... Warren Buffet says goodbye in his final annual letter today (full copy in the comments below). As he signed off, the following were final words of advice: "One perhaps self-serving observation. I’m happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them. You can start with Tom Murphy; he was the best. Remember Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame, who – reportedly – read his own obituary that was mistakenly printed when his brother died and a newspaper got mixed up. He was horrified at what he read and realized he should change his behavior. Don’t count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it. Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior. I write this as one who has been thoughtless countless times and made many mistakes but also became very lucky in learning from some wonderful friends how to behave better (still a long way from perfect, however). Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman."

What happened in Poland is nothing short of an economic wonder, its standard of living will surpass Japan this year. Free market, hard work and entrepreneurial spirit are the only way to escape socialist misery and poverty. Congratulations Poland.

@WandileSihlobo 1) Are you speaking on behalf of farmers or is it your opinion? 2) Using only net production and not looking at other metrics like debt to asset ratio movements of farmers? 3) Is agriculture flourishing because of pure resilience of farmers or government assistance?

South Africa is NOT a terrible place to be or farm. South Africa’s agricultural exports reached a record US$13.7 billion in 2024. We are a net exporter of agricultural products. You can't have numbers like this is a bad farming environment. Our farming is THRIVING! 🇿🇦
