Humans shouldn't always stay at home, even if you have nothing to do. Because staying at home for too long makes the brain become dull and leads to overthinking. You'll have more negative emotions. Psychology calls this state mental rumination. Most of the time, people who stay at home long term are not physically lazy - but mentally exhausted. You increasingly do not want to go out or see people. Even going to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bottle of water feels troublesome. You start to get used to being in a daze alone, scrolling through your phone and staying up late. Then you repeatedly struggle with yourself in an empty room. You think you're resting. But in fact, you're quietly draining the vitality of life. Your brain needs stimulation. Movement. Connection. Without it, your thoughts turn inward and spiral. The longer you isolate, the harder it becomes to break the pattern.

These are ten of my favorite quotes. I use them often in my daily interactions. 1. “Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.” - St. Augustine 2. “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” - Jim Rohn 3. “Opportunities come infrequently. When it rains gold, put out the bucket.” - Warren Buffett 4. “A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey 5. “He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.” - Lao Tzu 6. “It takes cash to care.” - Edward Seaga 7. “To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.” - George MacDonald 8. “People show you who they are; believe them the first time.” - Maya Angelou 9. “Legacy is not leaving something for people, but living something in people.” - Peter Strople 10. “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” - Winston Churchill

Day one. Hyperlexia? Or Just Untapped Potential. When many writers want to talk about themselves, they go back to old pictures or past memories. But as for me, I don’t really take pictures, and I don’t even like thinking about the past like that. Since I’ve promised to talk about myself consistently for 15 days, I honestly don’t even know how to start or what to say. I’ve been very relaxed for someone who has a challenge going on. Until this morning, I hadn’t even thought about what to write. That made me realize something about myself, I don’t usually prepare for anything. Or let me say, I prefer everything to be extemporaneous. I have never really read for any examination before. It may sound unrealistic, but I honestly don’t know how I do it. In university, I attended classes only when attendance was compulsory, and that was the only time my course mates saw me. I’d get the materials a night before the exam, go through them briefly, then walk into the exam hall confidently like I already knew what I was doing. My subconscious mind just knew I wasn’t going to fail. But at the same time, I wasn’t getting the best results either. The fact that I didn’t even stress myself to go beyond average made me comfortable. As long as I wasn’t failing, I chose enjoyment over effort. I lived like that throughout my university days. Thinking about it now, I remember how smart I was as a child. I picked things up quickly and understood things easily. To even show how aware I was as a baby, I stopped bedwetting since I was one, not because I couldn’t, but because I could control it enough to wake my mum when I needed to. That level of awareness at that age says a lot. Sometimes I wonder if I had hyperlexia growing up, but my parents didn’t really know what that meant at the time. Maybe if they did, they could have guided me better and pushed me beyond just being “naturally smart.” Maybe I could have been better than this. And I know there are many people like me. We relax because we know our potential and capability, so we don’t put in as much effort as we should. To parents, if you notice your child is doing exceptionally well or seems naturally ahead, don’t just be impressed, help them build discipline and direction so they don’t get too comfortable. As for me, I’m still figuring things out. I still don’t know what to write for Day 2, but I hope you’re going on this journey with me. See you tomorrow. Thank you 🙏🏾

I’ve always wondered why old planes are left to rot at airports. Why don’t let scrap metal dealers and pantakers break them up and reuse them?

When we were growing up, we made plans with our friends. We wanted to be successful and we wanted our friends to be successful as well. But the reality is that our clock is different. We would not all be successful and even the ones that are successful, succeed at different times. The beauty of friendship is that, if one of us succeed, we have a measure of protection to leverage on. I do not know what you people call friendship but a person that want friends must show himself friendly, and there are friends closer than a brother. This idea of making it and suddenly blacklisting the people you used to call friends, is insane. If they were not good people, you would have cut them off before you made it. The only person changing here is you. It would be a shame if my friends need help and they can't ask me. Why am I in their lives then? What is the point of being friends for 10, 15, 20 years and I can't come through for you. I come through for strangers. Why wouldn't I show up for my own? My friends know me and they trust me. In fact, I'm sure they know that God forbid they die, their kids education and welfare will be sorted as I would my own kids. Making new friends is good. We connect and expand on the relationships we have as we grow in life. If you keep cutting off the people you used to know as soon as you climb up the ladder, why should the new friends and connections trust you? The higher you climb, the harder it is to trust. That is why people say it is lonely at the top. People are not stupid, they are vetting your character whether you know it or not. I have friends I made from secondary school. I have close friends from university who are my brothers. I have friends from my time in the UK and we are very close. I've made friends from X whom I am close with. Current relationship does not erase past relationship. Your new friends have other friends. There is nothing happening in your life currently that warrants cutting off your friends just because you're doing better. If you're doing better, you have a responsibility to look after them and be kind to them. Your friends are the only people in this cold world who allow you to be yours and who can call you to order, while still having your back against all odds. DO BETTER!!!

@Donjaytrix001 Be a strict and loving father, and importantly marry a good wife.

So let me ask Modern Men What do you think you’re going to do that will make ur daughters not end up like this?

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose. The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life. In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food. Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch. In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable. I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

Not fucking up your own life requires a level of intelligence a lot of people just don't have.

Sheep species with amazing horns 🧵 1. Bighorn sheep (wild): They're not called bighorn for nothing. A ram's horns can weigh up to 14 and curl backward more than one meter long. As the sheep grows, the horns also growcontinuously throughout life with age rings like a tree trunk. During their mating season, or rut, these horns become weapons in dramatic battles for dominance. Rams rear up on their hind legs and charge each other at speeds up to 48 kilometers per hour, slamming their curled horns together with a crack that can be heard from a long distance away. Their fights can last hours or even a full day. Their double-layered skulls and horn cores filled with blood vessels act as built-in shock absorbers, cushioning the brutal impacts so the animals rarely suffer serious injury while competing to win mating rights. One of the most incredible things about bighorn sheep is their superhuman agility in some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain. These wild sheep are built like natural rock climbers, with specialized split hooves that have rough, flexible pads and gripping edges, letting them balance on ledges just five centimeters wide or leap across wide crevices without missing a step. They thrive in steep, high-altitude mountains where predators struggle to follow. This mastery of impossible landscapes helps them evade danger and access food in places where few other large mammals could survive.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but, Believe that GOD WILL WORK IT OUT, afterall, worrying hasn't solved anything.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but garri does not cause eye problems. 👀👀

An intelligent man studies failure longer than success. Success flatters. Failure instructs. He knows the difference.

Thinking someone's life will spoil because you're not in it anymore is peak delusion😂

A dangerous man carries no grudges. He carries lessons, standards, and the patience to let time settle everything.

@AskMichaelTaiwo I'm very mad at myself, hate myself.

I will advise you to become a mad man. Or mad woman. Anyhow. Just be mad. Mad about the things that matter to you. Mad about the kind of life you want for yourself. You will win.

to avoid disappointment, take people exactly as they are instead of idealizing about what you wish they would be.
