Forge an alliance between your brain and your thumbs, let them be in agreement…
… that your comments will never be found anywhere online, except you’re praising or encouraging people.
When you see what you do not like, withdraw your attention, do not express displeasure in the comments.
Once in a while, you may forget. Remind yourself that you’re not the mob, and that they’re not you.
Outrage & public executions are the job of the mob. They’re fulfilling their purpose in the comments section of life.
Yours isn’t lived in the comments section but in the arena of life; living, learning, growing, executing, losing and winning.
You are not them, they are not you.
If others are tempted to express outrage, let them fall upon that sword, but not you.
You are not the same.
— J.O.
PS: Instagram has released an update that lets you review every comment you’ve ever made so you can delete the ones you’re no longer proud of.

[NIGHT SCHOOL] 10 Keys To Accelerated Relevance
At an event, I once said, "There may be no shortcuts in life, but there are faster vehicles".
When you're young, "you've got potential" sounds like a compliment.
The older you get, it starts to sound irritating.
A time comes in everyone's life when they get tired of the 'emerging' stage... and you must get honest with yourself.
This is not a case of God making all things beautiful in His time.
This is matter of you suffering unnecessarily for lack of knowledge - knowledge of a faster route to achieving what you really want - EVERYTHING!
Tonight on Night School, I will be sharing 10 'Ungoogleable' for Accelerated Relevance.
[IMPORTANT] HOW TO JOIN:
Step 1: Make sure you are able to receive notifications from this telegram channel
Step 3: At 7:45pm, the Youtube live link will be sent to the Telegram Channel so you can test your setup ahead of time though we will go live at 8pm WAT.

🚨[NIGHT SCHOOL] ACHIEVING ESCAPE VELOCITY
It’s in the DNA of every Nigerian to be ambitious… and that’s why this topic always strikes a chord.
There is scarcely any Nigeria who would say no to a life of power, public admiration and opulence.
If not all 3, at least one.
Nigerians are also natural dreamers… but sometimes life can get real, and it can feel like the wrong place to dream.
Let’s examine this with a scientific concept.
Escape Velocity is a term I borrowed here from Physics.
It is used by rocket scientists to describe the speed at which an object (in this case a rocket) must travel in order to escape the gravitational pull of the earth’s surface, after which it can continue to travel without any extra force.
Many of us today are in this phase.
Third world circumstances ensure that you work like an elephant and eat like an ant.
And what about those who are the 1st born children in their families? Breaking slowly under the weight of external responsibilities, amidst multiple national uncertainties.
You might probably console yourself with aphorisms like “God’s time is the best” or “Slow and steady wins the race”.
While these sayings may be valid to some, they may not apply to your situation.
You’re stuck by the gravitational pull of the 3rd world middle class… existing just to pay bills and taxes, praying daily for a big break.
You are the big break you are praying for.
You need the right effort applied with the right intensity to escape this rat race.
You cannot keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.
When you achieve escape velocity, you will know the true meaning of the saying, “Small hinges swing big doors”
You will apply a little effort at one end that will yield 100X return on the other end.
Is this value attractive to you?
Then come, let us reason together.
Join me tonight as we discuss “Achieving Escape Velocity: 7 Keys to Catapult Your Dreams To Notoriety”

🚨 [NIGHT SCHOOL] MODERN WISDOM: Tools For Decoding The Modern World
Imagine you turned on your Television and realized that the news segment was just being concluded.
Was it when you turned on the TV that they started broadcasting?
No. You just tuned in.
In the same way, the world is always speaking, always broadcasting.
But just as you needed a special device, the Television, to decode the transmitted signals and make them perceptible to you, you will also require specialized devices to decode the intelligently crafted messages being daily broadcasted in the Kingdom of Man.
Those specialized devices are embedded in the various bodies of knowledge that govern our civilization as human beings - Language, Politics, Economics, Commerce, Science, etc.
If you are poorly educated on the ways of the world, you will take everything you see, hear and experience at face value and miss the intended meaning.
For example, many commoners hear a term like 'inflation' and their interpretation is 'things are expensive in the market'.
Is that the same meaning that a Joe Biden, Donald Trump or Jeff Bezos would derive from it?
What about their children and wards? Would they be content deriving a pedestrian meaning from matters of life?
Of course not, their education and tastes are cultured differently than that of the average civilian and arms them with richer meaning.
The Modern World is advancing more aggressively in our time, now more than ever before in history...
And you need better tools to better decode its signals and derive superior meaning for superior decisions.
