This Week: Set ONE big goal for 2020.

I have found that the biggest catalyst in my life has been a single-minded focus on ONE big goal per year.

What's the ONE goal that will make the most difference in your life if you pursue it actively next year?

That's your big 2020 goal.
You can't play football with two balls.

What's the ONE big goal that will move your life forward?

1. Make it your 2020 goal.
2. Write that goal on a wall in your room.
3. Make it your screensaver.
4. Pursue it actively.
5. Check your progress monthly.
Every week, I focus on something small but impactful and share it here in hope that it will help or inspire someone.

Follow me to receive these weekly nuggets.

Have a great week ahead.

There is a bubble of "investment" instruments offering incredible returns everywhere.

To invest safely, focus on asking the right questions.

"How will I get my principal back?" forces you to think strategically.

"How much will I make?" pushes you towards emotional decisions.
"How will I get my principal back?" + "How does it work?" = due diligence + Logic

"How much will I make?" = emotional reaction. It focuses you on returns rather than investment process.

If you don't understand the process, don't invest.
That's why my answer to "Should I invest in crypto currencies or Forex trading?" is always NO.

Don't do it unless you understand how it works.

Why home ownership is a bad investments (part 1) - A THREAD
Caveats 1:

1. Home ownership has some inherent values including:
- Psychological comfort.
- Societal validations.
- Aesthetics.
- Feelings of safety.

These things are important but difficult to quantify so this analysis does not discount the important of these factors.
Caveat 2.

Home ownership serves other purposes in society and in individual lives that are, once again, not amenable to investment modelling.

This is purely an investment analysis of home ownership versus other possible investment models.

Renting is wiser for most people. Don't buy a house unless:

1. Mortgage is < 8%.
2. You can pay cash.
3. You plan to live in it for 10 years.
4. You need the psychological comfort of home ownership.

Rental/investment property is great. Home ownership is mostly a bad investment.
I'll share the math on home ownership sometime next week.

The home you live in is your worst investment. For some of us, it's not even an investment.

Don't buy the hype, do the math. Home purchase for living is a bad investment.

Rental property is a great investment.
Do the math.

An average property in Lagos is N40m.

Treasury bill rate is about 12%. Your N40m will yield N4.8m a year.

You can rent a good home for N1.5m and still have N3.3m left over.

Your house is costing you N3.3m per year.

Do the math.

One of the best slapstick comedies ever made. It's a riot from the first frame to the last. Absolutely brilliant comedic script and underappreciated acting work. Some scenes can be regarded as the funniest in the history of cinema.
Just too notch all around.
Like, there are comedies that still manage to have a sobering message or a poignant moment. But not Rocky IV. It is 100% focused on making you laugh every single second. Only Airplane!, The Naked Gun and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World compare in this single-minded dedication.
But Rocky IV is more relentless and ruthless. Its only mission is to make sure you have at least one instance of involuntary urination.
For me, the absolutely funniest scenes are Rocky's friend dying, the entire Siberia sequence and the Russian translator. I nearly died. Amazing.

Since everyone's been talking about it, and I’ve spent far too much time squinting at the detail, a quick thread on the parties’ spending plans, as far as we can evaluate them (1/?)
The Tory case is fairly straightforward. Under @sajidjavid’s new fiscal rules, the day-to-day budget will be balanced, but infrastructure spending will effectively be treated separately, with a cap for public investment of 3% of GDP.

@burrosuy @TeivoTeivainen @Uruguay2035 @jussipesonenUPM @MarkoJanhunen @PaiviVistala @paivanlehti @lassesinikallas Take a look a what @burrosuy explains here in this thread. I sent the same info to Finland because is the best explanation in terms of money regarding the UPM plant. No one, neither UPM nor the government has refuted this economic analysis. Nor has the press, servile as usual
@burrosuy @TeivoTeivainen @Uruguay2035 @jussipesonenUPM @MarkoJanhunen @PaiviVistala @paivanlehti @lassesinikallas to the governments of the day, questioned the figures.
@burrosuy @TeivoTeivainen @Uruguay2035 @jussipesonenUPM @MarkoJanhunen @PaiviVistala @paivanlehti @lassesinikallas In case you do not handle Spanish well, I leave you the translation of the analysis of the figures made by @burrosuy. The first thing to distinguish is that there are large numbers and small numbers. The first are those that move the needle. The latter, whether they exist or not,

"But Labour have no policies."

I've heard this statement recently on more than one occasion.

It's time to set the record straight. Welcome to the Labour Party policy megathread.
Before I get started, I want to quickly mention my reasons for writing up this thread. I can only speak for myself, but I've felt that my activism has been too reactionary recently. Responding to whatever story we're being hit with by the media and being distracted because of it.
I've started to consider the effects of this, and I've come to believe that we've lost sight of what a Labour government, under Corbyn, would truly mean for the United Kingdom.

We know getting rid of the Tories is good. But why is replacing them with Corbyn better?

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

@johncutlefish Because many teams, especially in larger orgs, struggle with #focus

And many #productowners struggle with mandate. So they struggle to create focus in the #backlog by driving on business goals (outcomes).

1/x
@johncutlefish And #teams are more like #stakeholder wishlist deliverers than of actual business value

So the top if the backlog is a jumble of non related jobs that staleholders ‘need’. And as a result, the Sprint backlog as well. Making it very hard to set a sprint goal.

2/x
@johncutlefish This often stems from defining #scrumteams too narrow in the org (only within IT or even just ops) AND not having clear outcome based goals as an organization.

3/x
