Africa is on the rise..

I don't keep up with the Joneses, I am the Joneses..

Understanding that what it is that you're doing isn't limited to the roles and the rejection, it's bigger than that, it's about your purpose in life..

Politics is a highly tribal business..

No one survives life..

Charge for something and make more than you spend..

If you push too much for somebody that everyone knows is your friend, and that you've worked with before, it can backfire..
