Relationships

I've always loved people. But as I grow each day, the importance and significance of relationships just keep getting bigger.

The following observations might be limited to developing nations only.

I noticed that a university degree hardly change people's lives for the better. This is what i'm saying, 80 percent of graduates usually have to fall back on skills / people they've had before university to actually make an advancement in life.

The percentage of people that university degree actually uplifted their life and status is so small you wonder if 4/5/7 years was worth it.

This is not a post to bash Education. My focus is on relationships.

Naval Ravikant said,

Essentially, all the benefits in life come from compound interests. Whether it’s in relationships, or making money, or in learning.

This is even brutally true in developing countries where opportunities are very limited. All you've got is relationships. People. And nothing else.

If I was going to advice a 20 year old Nigerian, the top advice would go like this.

Find your tribe. Fight sweat and blood to keep that tribe for 5, 10, 20 years.
In the states a lot of the relationships that lead to jobs/careers in the future seem to be forged at the university though. 

this differs from what you say here about relationships before university.

Love this post. I totally get this. But I am beginning to think that even if it isn't that obvious in the US, there is a lot of that here as well. It is always beneficial to have good and long lasting relationships.
