If people say your dreams are crazy, if they laugh at what you think you can do. Good, stay that way. Because what non-believers don’t understand is that calling a dream crazy isn’t an insult, it’s a compliment. #JustDoIt
Don’t try to be the fastest runner in your school or the fastest in the world, be the fastest ever.
Don’t picture yourself wearing OBJ’s jersey, picture OBJ wearing yours. Don’t settle for homecoming queen, or linebacker. Do both. #JustDolt
Lose 120 pounds and be an iron man, after beating a brain tumour. Don’t believe you have to be like anybody, to be somebody. #JustDoIt
If you’re born a refugee, don’t let it stop you from playing soccer, for the national team, at age 16. #JustDoIt
Don’t become the best basketball player on the planet, be bigger than basketball. #JustDoIt
Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt
When they talk about the greatest team in the history of the sport, make sure it’s your team. If you have only one hand, don’t just watch football, play it at the highest level. #JustDolt
And if your a girl from Compton, don’t just become a tennis player, become the greatest athlete ever. Yeah, that’s more like it. #JustDoIt
So don’t ask if your dreams are crazy, ask if they crazy enough. #JustDoIt
It’s only crazy until you do it. #JustDoIt @Kaepernick7

The question I've been getting after yesterday is "how do we tax Internet companies if they are not registered here?"
A thread....
Let me re-iterate that taxing Internet companies is a good idea. In fact, even before this whole #SocialMediaTax discussion, I was wondering why African countries and Uganda, in particular, do not get revenue from them.
The problem with Uganda is that "getting money from Internet companies" has been confused with taxing users.

Mr. @UCC_ED, there's is no social media tax in Europe or North America as you claim. Social media or other Internet companies pay taxes from the money they make through ads or otherwise. The tax is not levied on citizens as a pre-requisite for accessing services.
There's a fundamental difference between Facebook paying taxes on their revenue and asking citizens to pay. It's mind-boggling that someone in your position can convolute something like this in front of cameras. The confidence in your ignorance is shocking Mr. @UCC_ED
That being said, with a little research and engagement with @facebook or any of those companies, you'd discover that they are willing to add VAT or any other taxes and remit the same to GoU after collection as long as the revenue is being generated from a Ugandan client.
