Just returned to Yaounde with the feeling that my mind has expanded tenfold, after the discussions I've had today with bright minds in Douala, including my newest and freshest 29-day-old niece (whose hand features on the photo below. lol). As dad often says, once u start being the "smartest person in the room" all the time, try to expand your circle of friends/partners/acquaintances to be elevated more -- you can also read a book by someone who has lived, learned and grew.
Once you feel like your mind, spirit, sense of possibilities and growth is stagnating, associate with individuals, groups & networks that will challenge your comfort zone: make you think bigger, smarter, brighter. Just keep learning!
Today, I followed that advice meticulously, taking notes like I was in a classroom, from people I consider smarter and more experienced than me, wrapping my mind around new ideas, new possibilities, exciting challenges, while engaging at a real/true-agenda-on-the-table/intrinsic-joy-of-sharing level.
I thank God for such opportunities to grow!
The future is brighter and brighter. It gotta be!
