I believe:

• Africa's prosperity depends on minds, not mines.
• Cost of inaction > cost of action!
• You can reinvent the game.
• Most inquiries that advanced human progress started with "What if..."
• Conventions are bullshits.

• Respect all, young & old.
• All laws (legal, scientific, and social) are approximations.
