I know I’ve said this before, but I’d like to remind you. Stop saying “Sorry” when what you’re truly doing is asking for permission to speak, to breathe, to exercise your right to exist.

“Sorry but I disagree”
Meaning: Give me permission to disagree.
Instead: I disagree.
“Sorry I have to complain about this.”
Meaning: I don’t like what is going on but please ALLOW me to complain and I apologise.
Instead: Thank you for listening, here are my complaints/grievances.

“Sorry could you repeat that?”
Meaning: I didn’t hear you, I’m not dumb I promise.
Instead: I don’t mean to take us back but I would like you to take that point again. Thank you.

“Sorry, please don’t forget to send in the report.”
Meaning: We’re on a project together, I need the report to push this forward, forgive me for doing my job.
Instead: When do you think I can get that report?

Please check yourself today and stop when you’re about to apologise for nothing.

Apologizing for wrongdoing is strength but compulsive apologizing shows you as needing permission to exercise your rights.

Stopeeeettt!

I remember as an employee, I would be up till 4 am tracking and responding to captains of ships or simply monitoring a product discharge.

I would send an email to my boss at 4 AM, giving her/him updates on the project(s).

EVERY TIME, both bosses would respond immediately.
They impressed me with their work ethics so I worked harder.

Dear Bosses,

If you’re lazy and have terrible work ethics but you’re looking for employees who’ll be hardworking and give their best, you’re not ready to own a generational business. You lead by example, they follow.
Dear Employee,

My reward for working hard/smart and doing extra came as a brand new car in my name but that wasn’t the main reward. It was the fact that they began to leave so much to me that I gained so much experience in a short time.

"I thought studying in the US would be easy. I'd attended a UN conference in high school, so I already had a visa. I begged my father to let me go. He finally agreed and took out a loan to buy me a plane ticket. I arrived with $150 in my pocket,
and stayed with a Gambian family in Maryland. For two months I visited schools, asking for financial aid—but nothing was available for people like me. I began to accept the reality that I would need to go back home. There was one last school called Montgomery College.
It was a five-minute bus ride from where I was staying. And when I visited the campus, I learned about a scholarship for international students. But the deadline was approaching, and I would need to submit my application that day. I searched everywhere for a computer.

Dear Virgin,

Let me tell you, I regret nothing, even though I’ve made many mistakes in my life.

Here’s the one regret I have: That I went ahead and had sex just because...

... I was about to graduate and it didn’t look or sound okay for one to graduate being a Virgin.
... My friends had done it and their stories sounded interesting.

... The guy I was with wasn’t paying me much attention,I decided sex would solve that problem.

My mother raised me better, she told me that sex was never a thing to take lightly, that it always had to be for you.
She said it is tantamount to cheating yourself if you have sex just so the other party can: (a)like you better
(B) be satisfied or (C) stay with you.

I didn’t listen to her, I had sex anyway, for ALL the wrong reasons.

Immediately after I had sex with this person,
