I won't just have a PhD, I'll become a professor one day.
You’re going to have a PhD one day.

I've watched 100+ PhD students pick their advisors. The ones who chase the famous name? They burn out by year two. The ones who pick the person who actually mentors? They publish. They finish. They thrive. Reputation gets you in the door. Mentorship gets you through it.

Dear Student, Attention theft is one of the biggest problems we face in today’s digital world. Distraction has quietly become the default, and focus is now a skill that has to be trained on purpose. Let’s be honest: the problem isn’t that you’re lazy, it’s that your phone is

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't EVER stop reading.

One reason I’m not married yet is that I want to be able to say I traveled the world and still chose you.

One thing I’ve noticed about highly successful people is that they always do what they say they’ll do. If they tell you, “I’m going to send you a list of the 20 best restaurants in NYC tomorrow,” they do. When you text them, unless they’re in a meeting, they’re responsive. This

Unpopular opinion: in the age of AI-powered, massified mediocrity, pursuing a PhD is actually a great idea.

To say I am proud of Dr. Ademola Adesokan is an understatement. I remember interviewing him for the @MtScholarships in 2020, and I just sensed instantly that he was destined for great things. He is paying it forward through his own personal initiatives and also paying it back

Speaking from experience: if you fuck up a good relationship and sacrifice it on the altar of success, you will pay for it lol.
If you are 23 - 28 and you feel you have not made it financially, Do this. leave your girlfriend and become single. No football, sleep 5hrs max daily. Grind for 1 year with no distractions. When you’re back, the football and younger girls will be there. You cannot

In hospital wards, we doctors see the truth about love. In one bed: A wife is vomiting / a husband has melena… and their partner is there, rubbing their back, cleaning them, not leaving their side. In the next bed: A woman is crying in pain… and her husband is least bothered

When you’re married, you’ll understand why you shouldn’t mock divorced people. Divorce is an accident no one ever wishes for. There’s wisdom in building a marriage to last, but since it involves two people, you can’t predict what your partner might become tomorrow. It’s like
