Wife made me go to couples therapy last week Nice office Two couches Box of tissues The therapist asked what brings us in My wife said "he treats everything like a transaction" I said "that's not true" The therapist asked me to give an example of something I do that isn't transactional I thought about it for 11 seconds I could not think of an example The therapist asked how that made me feel I said "efficient" My wife looked at the therapist The therapist looked at my wife They had a moment I was not part of the moment My wife said "do you love me?" I said "I chose you. Every day I choose you. That's not emotion. That's a commitment with a compounding return and I don't see a better alternative in the market." The room went quiet My wife cried The therapist cried I didn't understand why That was the most romantic thing I've ever said The therapist said "I think we should meet weekly" I said "what's your hourly rate?" She said "$275" I said "for both of us or each?" My wife picked up her purse and walked out I stayed to negotiate the rate Got it down to $250 Small win Sent from my iPhone

@FinLitBae Soft spoken but not soft on exams

@ButtonLee28 Malaba showed us shege!

QAB first year Delta Theatre at NUST in 2001. The supplementary exam class was half the class 😂🤞🏾

@baba_nyenyedzi @FinLitBae Context really matters, having played in this startup space, more so where there is no start up ecosystem, where majority are in survival mode , it's really a stretch to then expect 'miracles'.

Are Zimbabweans entrepreneurial? The evidence suggests less so, especially when we look at the diaspora that left Zimbabwe but joined the managerial class and not innovation. @FinLitBae an innovation expert based in Kenya chimes in to agree and provides a nuanced difference of start up’s vs SME’s. The billionaire Zimbabwean class started off in Zimbabwe and their businesses run largely in Zimbabwe. After 25 years in the diaspora how come the diaspora hasn’t produced a billionaire? @rufarogz gleans in with why South Africans have done better in the diaspora.

@Beatonm5 1st saw these ku JB pa Goks

@RudoManyere 'My bicycle ' brings memories , laid foundation for my love for books

My journey to African literature. If you are Black/ and African, READ BOOKS BY BLACK AND AFRICAN PEOPLE!

@kumbiraichipaz Kanyemba is beautiful, been there and throughly enjoyed the trip. There is so much potential when you look at plans to develop the area

I experienced a beautiful & surreal time in Kanyemba, enjoying the peaceful quietness away from the madding crowd. Tiger fishing in the Zambezi River, passing through @energy_invictus , and interacting with locals at the borders of Zim, Zambia, and Mozambique was unforgettable.

@KuraChihota money is not moving in the DMs

@kumbiraichipaz You are pushing boss , good going

Great meeting with Chad Beattie from Bitumen World! We reminisced about rugby days in Matebeleland and discussed the value of face-to-face meetings. Direct engagement fosters stronger connections and clearer communication. Looking forward to future collaborations!

@FinLitBae Great space , well done @FinLitBae

@kumbiraichipaz Congrats and good going Kumbi ,you have 'walked the talk'

One of my most important wishes has been to be able to give back to my community through establishing an Entrepreneurship Hub. I'm happy to say that in June 2024 we will be opening our doors to entrepreneurs in Zvishavane looking to be connected to the German Market!!

@KuraChihota Excel came in handy , most systems cldnt handle the quintillions

@RexMidzi @nigelchanakira how did the banking system handle such numbers? what did balance sheets look like? What if a clerk made an error on 28 vs 29 zero's...

Once upon a time @nigelchanakira

@HSBC_UK , you can do better please, 45 minutes on the phone and no help.
