Dad>>one third of the people you meet today will hate you no matter what, one third will love you and there is nothing you can do about it. That means that one third of the people you meet today will watch you, listen to you and give you a chance before they make up their mind. The best thing you can do is be the kind of person you would like because when it comes right down to it, you are the one you need to please 1 Like |

Mynd_44: But you know how some girls can remain with a guy who is obviously so wrong for her because a silly word called "love". Even if you slam them with the negatives of their partner they will remain. |

Mum taught me to always stand for what I beleive in and never get intimidated. My dad taught me that life is what you make of it and the choices you make will live with you forever. He also taught me to be my own boss and of course to always think out of the box. 1 Like |

My dad taught me how to be focused and not to be distracted by anybody. I still remember him saying: 'A man with a destinition does not shake hands with everybody he sees on the road'. Today, my life is better off, because i cannot dedicate my time to dream-killers and people who waste time doing nothing! 1 Like |

Never to promise a girl marriage and disappoint Never refuse to pay for sex if i ever made a committment to it Be sure my fist salary takes me through the whole month else I will continue borrowing ad infinitum Always strive to be the best Let your impact be felt wherever you find yourself In friendship remember to make room for quarrels (keep some secrets as friends will invariably quarrel sometime) In quarrels, remember to leave a chance for settlement (You never know when you might need that guy again) The tiny fish that doesnt take care to be careful will never grow into a big fish Honestly my folks taught me so much and they are still teaching me. Mom and Dad, see you guys soon this December. 2 Likes |

unlike evry oda DADS. My dad taught me aw to be a responsible father nd strive hard to suceed not short cut to success. Even dou he had so many connections to help me secure a job he wouldnt help. He wanted me to go out nd secure a job by mysef. He was der for me wen i needed him. While my mum was busy pursuin her career. She wud travel out for almost a years at times and com bak nd spend mayb mths den she wud go bak again. She left me wen i was just a year plus nd traveled out. It was my dad nd family dat was taking care of my older siblings nd i, i got to kno my mum wen i was six wen she came bak from spain. She bot somany tinz for us bt was not enof to buy d luv we had for our dad. She went bak again nd spent almost 2 years b4 she came bal. It went on like dat until i was 17 b4 she came to stay. Aldou she is tryin to make it up to us bt shes got to put more effort sha cos my dad tried for us. My dad is d best. 1 Like |

When i was an adolescent,I told my dad there is a need for me to reduce the alphabets of my surname so that ppl can pronounce it easily, he said to me you don't have to make it less complex in pronunciation but try and create a distinct personality, ppl will be sanctioned for not able to pronunce ur surname or rewarded on the other way round 2 Likes |

MUM- She thought me a lot of things, will just share some. Every new month she send or place beside our bed side this note, I practically grew on these words. *Have courage to be different from others *Know that some people may not like the “new”, or rather, “real” you *Surround yourselves with people who are supportive *Alienate those who try to make you the person they want you to be *Open up to the world and admit this is who you are, the good, the bad and the ugly *Laugh at yourself *Take criticisms in a stride *Do not apologise for who you are *Trust in your own judgement, you know best for yourself *Love who you are *Don’t let others tell you who you are *Once you can look yourself in the mirror, and smile at the reflection, that’s when you know you are being who you are at the core. DAD-My dad is a teacher. Not a teacher in the sense that he lectured me on life, nor did he spout profound words of worldly wisdom. He never wrote any books or taught in any universities. He was the teacher of the greatest kind because he taught me through his actions, by who he is. A simple man of his words. Who my dad is, taught me important aspects of character, like being honest, sincere and caring. His life taught me things like working hard, working without complaint, Getting the job done. He instilled in me a sense of enjoying simple things, like laughing at silly jokes. These things and many more my dad taught me all my life. 3 Likes |
