THE DANIEL MAKINDE

Medical school takes about 6 years—if there's no strike. Please immerse yourself into more than just books.🙏 Learn communication skills, marketing, web design, microeconomics, game theory, business, etc. Just absorb. Anything! Life is beyond our "Medicine and Surgery."

The first time I took a stroll through Manchester, I had an existential crisis. All the hustle culture that I brought with me from Nigeria died there for a minute. It was as if they took my purpose away, and it's now like, what? What do I live for? It hit me differently because all my life, I've lived and been hustling to get rich, get as much money as I can so that I can secure the future of my generation(tho it was going to be through legal means). A typical Nigerian mindset, right? Disgusting. But now that you are in an environment where our Nigerian luxuries are basic amenities, now what? What is the point of amassing a crazy amount of wealth when I can live comfortably without tripping my hustle? So, while I was at it, I realized I don't need to hustle like that, the system will take care of the kids and their future. All they need to do is just do the right thing and everything will be fine. I can be my doctor in peace, take on a normal shift, and enjoy life. No need to learn forex, coding, or copywriting. I don't need to pack the whole world to feel secure as I would in Nigeria. Come to think of it, being a medical doctor is a lot on its own, trying to double and triple your hustle on it is suicide. This is by the way. I came to the conclusion that we are here to worship God and enjoy life. We are not here to make money, money is a tool to achieve God's work in a normal system. But you see in Nigeria, money is needed to make you feel secure. I snapped back to reality the moment I landed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, took that bolt ride, and entered the road to Lagos. Now, I'm back to the getting stinkingly rich mindset till I leave this shit hole. Nigeria has damaged a lot of us and it is a pity that a lot of us can't see it.

You don’t need to reach age 40 before it becomes a forever thing.

How you carry yourself is half the message. Who you are is the other half.

How you speak is half the message. What you say is the other half.

Survivorship bias.

Counterfactual thinking.

Showing up has never been this hard!

Existence alone had never been enough for him; he had always wanted more. Perhaps it was only from the force of his desires that he had regarded himself as a man to whom more was permitted than to others. — Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crimes and Punishment

You would learn a lot more new things if only you’re willing to look stupid at the start.

Give yourself the permission to be a beginner.

It is really easy to say what you are not, just as it is hard to say what you truly are.
