my dad was a fucking rocket engineer who taught me something that made me RICH
wasn't some soft ass "believe in yourself" bs
it was QUICK MATH (keep reading it's saucy)
this man ran calculations for missile trajectories in the military. could tell you impact coordinates in his head while other guys needed computers. but he'd say "close enough is better than perfect too late"
"347 divided by 45? about 7. move the fuck on."
he'd make me calculate brutal equations instantly. not perfectly. INSTANTLY. because in real situations perfect math gets you killed while you're calculating
meanwhile you common folk are sitting with your calculator app making sure you got the EXACT answer while opportunities are flying past at 1000mph
this is why you're easy to kill in business...
you're trying to be PRECISE when you need to be FAST
business decision? you want 22 spreadsheets and three consultants' opinions. your competitor already launched, failed, pivoted, and is banking while you're on slide 73 of your market analysis like some soft as baby shit analyst
pricing your service? you're researching statistics for weeks. just pick a fucking number that scares you and TEST IT. wrong? change it tomorrow. you lost one day not six months.
"but what if i'm wrong?"
YOU WILL BE WRONG YOU FUCKING MORON
difference is i'm wrong in 5 seconds and correct in 10. you're still thinking about maybe being wrong next year while i'm already counting money
my first agency? picked price out of thin air. $5k/month felt insane. someone paid instantly. raised to $10k next day. then $20k. found the ceiling in 3 weeks.
you would've surveyed 100 people and ended up at $2k because that's what the statistics said was "reasonable"
quick math beats perfect math EVERY FUCKING TIME
hiring? meet them, trust your gut, done. "but what about background checks..." shut up. you know in 10 minutes if someone's solid or soft as baby shit. everything else is corporate theater.
launching products? ship at 70% and fix it live. "but what if..." what if you die waiting for perfect? at least i'm getting paid while fixing bugs instead of perfecting something nobody wants.
here's what overthinking really is: FEAR dressed up as intelligence
you're not being thorough. you're being a PUSSY, you want spreadsheets to blame when shit fails instead of owning your decisions like someone who isn't easy to kill
fuck your process.
347 divided by 45? about 7
should i hire this broad? she seems hungry? hired.
should i fire this client? they annoy me? gone.
should i raise prices? feeling poor? doubled.
CLOSE ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH
perfect is for common folk who die with perfect plans. done is for killers who die with results.
i watch people spend 6 months on business plans that are worthless the second reality hits. my business plan was "make money." took 2 seconds. still works.
you know what matters? VELOCITY not accuracy.
100 decisions at 70% accuracy beats 10 decisions at 95% accuracy. because those 100 decisions taught you what actually works while your statistics are still theoretical
my competitors still calculating unit economics while i've tested 20 offers and found the one that prints. they have better spreadsheets. i have better everything else.
quick math principle applies to everything:
relationships? you know in 10 seconds if a broad is worth your time. stop needing 6 months of data to "be sure"
investments? thesis makes sense and founder isn't soft? send it. your due diligence is just procrastination with a fancy name
opportunities? someone offers you something that could work? say yes figure it out later. "but the statistics say..." statistics are for people easy to kill
here's the truth: your best educated guess RIGHT NOW beats your perfect answer NEVER
because while you're calculating, killers are DOING. while you're analyzing statistics, they're creating them. while you're planning, they're already celebrating.
347 divided by 45?
about 7.
good enough.
NEXT.
that's the yegor method. quick math. violent execution. adjust on the fly.
everything else is mental masturbation that common folk use to feel smart while staying broke
my dad could calculate missile impacts in his head but knew "close enough" beats "perfect too late"
a "close enough" nuke skill decimates a city. a nuke that never launches does ZERO
now make that fucking decision you've been sitting on. your gut already knows. stop pretending you need more data.
study the yegor method.

1999.
The boy in the green Aga Khan sweater sat at the front of the class, his hand up before his classmate even finished the question.
He knew the answer.
His name, according to the register, was George.
Outside the gate, royal guards waited.
But in here, he was just a boy who loved answering SST questions.
He was seven years old and the world's youngest king, but right now, none of that mattered.
The teacher had asked a question about yesterday's homework, and his hand was already in the air, fingers stretched toward the ceiling like he could grab the answer from the air itself.
His green sweater was slightly too big at the sleeves, the way school uniforms always are when you're still growing into them.
He sat at the front, not because anyone had put him there, but because that's where you sit when you want to be seen, when you want to be called on, when you have something to say.
The other children knew him as George.
Some of them knew about the crown, of course, you can't exactly hide being the Omukama of Tooro when your guards wait by the gate, but children are practical creatures.
A king who shares his lunch is just a friend.
A king who laughs too loud in the playground is just a boy.
And George laughed loudly.
He ran fast.
He argued about whose turn it was on the swings.
He was, in every way that mattered, exactly like the rest of them.
When the bell rang, he didn't walk out like a monarch.
He spilled out with the others, bag hanging on one shoulder, green sweater untucked, already talking about what was for lunch.
The guards were there, as they always were, but they kept their distance, and he kept his joy.
At home, the real kingdom awaited: the balcony with the miniature pool table, where his sister Ruth was already waiting.
She was older, watchful in the way sisters are, the keeper of his small secrets and the only person who could beat him at pool without him minding.
Their laughter filled the house.
Ruth would straighten his collar or hand him the cue, and he would line up his shot with the concentration of a chess grandmaster, tongue poking out slightly.
The weight of Tooro, the councils, the ceremonies, it all stayed outside.
In here, it was just the two of them, brother and sister, building their own small world on a balcony in Kampala.
Then the evening came, and with it the dogs.
Three German shepherds who knew nothing of thrones or titles, who only knew that the boy with the smole was their favourite human.
He ran into the garden, and they circled him, barking with delight, and he ran with them, arms wide, laughter spilling into the fading light.
He was not a king in that moment.
He was not the heir of centuries.
He was just George, seven years old, running with his dogs, alive and bright and burning with the simple joy of being alive.
That was 1999.
The boy in the photograph, the one raising his hand, the one in the green sweater, he grew up.
He became the man his people needed him to be.
He carried the weight, wore the crown, answered the call.
For thirty-one years, he was their king.
But those who loved him best will always remember the other George, the one who sat at the front of the class, who played pool with his sister, who ran with his dogs at dusk.
The kingdom announces that Rukirabasaija is gone.
But George?
George is still there, in the green sweater, hand in the air, ready with the answer.
He always had the answer.
He always will.
The boy in the green sweater.
The hand in the air.
The dogs in the garden.
The sister on the balcony.
These are the things that crowns cannot contain and history books often forget.
But they are the truest things.
They are the things that made him loved.

I say this as a university lecturer who has not remained in the comfort of lecture rooms and journals.
I teach. I publish. I supervise students. But I also build companies, test materials, develop products, work with contractors, set up production systems, train technicians, own mineral licences, and try to move knowledge from the university into industry. So I fully understand the frustration when academia looks disconnected from society.
But publications are not the enemy.
A publication is how knowledge is tested, recorded and shared. Many of the technologies we celebrate today began first as research before they became products, industries and jobs. The problem is not that professors publish. The problem is that we have not built strong enough bridges between knowledge and production.
And here is where I think we must be more honest. Our commerce does not sufficiently reward production. It often rewards importing, brokering, trading and distributing more than it rewards designing, manufacturing, testing, improving and scaling local products. In such an economy, even good research struggles to become industry.
So yes, let us demand more impact from universities. Let us ask professors to engage society, industry and government more directly. But let us not pretend that counting publications is the root problem. The deeper problem is an economy that has not created enough pathways for knowledge to become products, enterprises, standards, policies and jobs.
We need professors who write, and we need professors who build. More importantly, we need a country that rewards those who turn knowledge into productive value.
To my colleagues in academia, especially the professors. I think the time has come for us to stop counting publications. Right now, it is almost immoral. We are doing a disservice to our country.
We should stop counting publications and start building things. We should focus on changing society. We should solve problems, and we should stand up and be counted for that. We should be able to say, "This is how I am solving society's problems," not how many publications I have put out there in journals, on the internet, or wherever else.
What matters is the impact we make, not the number of papers we publish.

Bugoma Central Forest Reserve now enters a new chapter under the management and protection of UWA @ugwildlife
Am already on ground in Bugoma for the official handover of this important ecosystem to UWA. This marks a major step in strengthening conservation, restoring ecological integrity, protecting biodiversity, and safeguarding one of Uganda’s critical natural forests. Bugoma is important for wildlife, water catchments, climate regulation, tourism, and community livelihoods. Its protection is a national responsibility.

As directed by H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni, today I transferred the management of the Bugoma Central Forest Reserve in Kikuube District from the @min_waterUg to @ugwildlife in the @MTWAUganda
Bugoma will be upgraded to a national park, and all encroachers are required to leave the forest immediately, in accordance with the directive of H.E. the President.
Bugoma is one of the most beautiful forests in our country and is home to a remarkable diversity of plant, animal, and bird species.
I encourage the Uganda Wildlife Authority to protect and manage the forest sustainably for the benefit of present and future generations. @gracemarymugasa @Parliament_Ug @StateHouseUg @OPMUganda @UgandaMediaCent @HonNatumanya @bashirhangi
