Apart from this is a strong motivation to justify my waking up by 3am everyday just as today, there is no better news. Anyways, it is evident why this big goons are now in the trenches, they forgot to pay attention to "weak signal". Here, we say when you are big you are big. This is said to connote that nothing can "sup" and you're safe against a fall, obviously, we can see that is not true in a world that is rapidly in pursuit of civilization. Innovate or die, the gods have a creator and should be feared!

This brings me home, the world has moved past oil, and in less than two (2) decades, our major source of income would no longer be a thing of demand, rather, our sister country would be in hot demand. What is stopping us from becoming more aggressive in inventing policy(ies), cross-continental laws, and all the needed that makes us tap into the lithium that is readily resident on Zimbabwe (since it shows potentials to drive the future of global commerce), that a nation as far as China would come in here not minding that she is also in possession of the valuable mineral. DR Congo mismanagement of cobalt should be sadden enough that we become more intentional about our future.

May you live in interesting time says the Chinese curse, and Drunker remains a thinker that should be reverenced. There are lots of things Africa could learn from what is playing out in the Global community that would help her avert many mess, but would they listen?

This remains me of the statement Nokia's CEO gave after it was acquired by Microsoft.

“we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”.

Nokia had been a respectable company and they didn’t do anything wrong inside of their business, however the world changed too fast for them. Their opponents had become too powerful. They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big.

Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost the chance of survival.

What a great time to live!

The advantage you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow.

Innovate or Die.

They missed out on learning,... This are heavy words here man. However, I think it not a learning issue, rather, a what to learn issue. If you recall Drucker's words, "firms should master selective abandonment".

Nokia was learning, however, they were learning irrelevant things. I think this is why Bill Gate and Elon Musk should be reverenced for broad thinking.

One of this day we would see, fell seriously sick so I had to rest.
