OP you write say u be forex trader then you said you shouldn’t gamble? I’m a forex trader too and I know a lot of 19-25 year old white kids who have made a lot of money on forex which you know is gambling and besides if you’re opening a business and taking a risk, it’s gambling. Please what works for you might not work for another person.

You are 100% right with this , is a reminds message , but for the Wise one not for the fools

DorianD:
Well u don't know me

Ibechris2:




Gamblers will be happy to hear u praise them by using Macao and Monaco to evaluate their chances...this is Nigeria oh.

In fact, if u have any gambler as boy friend,a friend or an husband...just accept that u don't have anybody. Most gamblers are criminals who can sell anything for money.

Zeinymira:

That was unnecessary. You could have contributed meaningfully without that part.

There's an exception to everything. I spent much time on phone reading.

Character they say is the beauty of a woman and money is the beauty of a man that's why every man desires success and a luxurious lifestyle.

Moreover, few are willing to go through the right part of success in order to achieve it. There are certain things men do in their daily life activities that hinders their opportunity to success. They may see it as a way out of poverty, but woefully, it's the gateway to the throne of poverty.

There are many habits that can keep a man in the circle of poverty. Check them out below.

1. Gambling.

There is no such thing as getting rich quick. Financial success takes time, takes initiative, and requires relentless effort to achieve.

People who engage in gambling are deluded into thinking there is a shortcut to success. A lot of self-made millionaires today didn’t pursue any get-rich quick schemes. Instead, they make a habit of pursuing their dreams and their goals one after the other.

A lot of Nigerian youths believe so much in gambling that they made it a job. They have the believe that a single one hundred naira note can fetch them fifteen million naira. How long do intend on spending before you achieve that goal. Every known successful man today never earned their wealth from gambling.

2. Drinking Too Much Alcohol.

While the occasional glass of wine or beer is fine, drinking too much could reduce your chances to financial success. Do you know drinking too much could affect your memory and ability to think clearly ?. If you can't think and remember things clearly, how do you intend to make a plan for your financial freedom ?.

I'm not saying alcohol is evil but there is a limit to everything in life including the same alcohol. Some men believe it's never okay till they feel drunk. Only a poor man with a poor mentality thinks like that. 1-2 bottles of beer or even 2 glasses of wine is very much okay for a man with a goal in life. It doesn't mean you have to start drinking two glasses everyday. There are times when things are required in life. Say no to excessive intake of alcohol for your financial freedom.

3. Your Type Of Friends.

A wise man once said, Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Those words are absolutely true. Who you hang out with matters more than you may think.

Many rich people today changed their friends the day they decided to make wealth. Make a habit of associating with other success-minded individuals like you.

If you sorround yourself with drunkards and smokers, even if you don't drink or smoke, definitely one day you will see yourself doing it.

You are only going to succeed in life if you surround yourself with the right type of people.

4. Spending Too Much Time Infront Of The TV.

In a success study, it is revealed that 80% of poor people today spend more than five hours Infront of their television screen daily. Complete precious five hours.

Have you ever wondered why the most expensive cars and properties are not putting their advertisements on TV ?. The answer is simple, the people who buy and patronise it doesn't spend time on television so probably they can't see it.

The rich or success-minded people would rather be educated than entertained. They replace TV time with reading, thinking, exercising, or any other form of self education.

I'm not saying watching TV is something not important, but spending too much time on it. Spend more time in planning your map to success instead of watching people who followed their path to success.

5. Thinking Negatively.

Long-term success is only possible when you have a positive mental outlook to it. You can never be successful if you always imagine yourself poor. If you don't believe in yourself, why trying ?. You always have the thoughts of I cannot make it, that's one of the reasons you have not made it to success.

The problem for most people is that they’re completely unaware of their thoughts, positive or negative. If you stop to listen to your thoughts, to be aware of them, you would find most of them are negative. But you only realize you are having these negative thoughts when you force yourself to be aware of them. Awareness is the key.

Take your mind of negative thoughts. Replace them with positiveness. They say a believer is an achiever. Believe in yourself.

6. Doing A Job You Don't Love.

Toiling away at a job you hate will not only leave you stressed out and dissatisfied with life, it could affect your chances at getting rich because you don't appreciate the outcome.

The wealthiest, most successful people pursue their passions, you should consider doing the same thing in your working days in life. Do what you have passion for, work is fun. Passion defeats education, intelligence, skills, and any other advantage those who lack passion might have in life.

Passion makes work fun. Passion gives you the energy, persistence, and focus needed to overcome failures, mistakes, and rejection. It infuses you with a fanatical tenacity that makes it possible to overcome obstacles and pitfalls that block your path.

7. Spending too much.

Spending more than you make is the fastest and surest road to financial breakdown.

You can't be earning a salary of 50 thousand naira and be driving a car that requires maintenance of 15 thousand naira monthly, it leaves you with 35 thousand naira salary. You have groceries and rent to pay the same month with other little things to do with money. What happened to saving ?, What you save and plan for is very important even before the salary comes.

People who spend too much faces a lot of challenges, they have no money for retirement, for their kids’ college, or for pursuing opportunities that present themselves. Spending more than you earn and putting saving on your back creates long-term poverty, with no hope of escape.

8. Ignoring customers feedback.

At the end of the day, you might already have a business established, ignoring customers feedback on your products and services pulls your business down faster than the change in currency.

Fear of criticism is the reason we do not seek feedback from others. You have more chances of improvement if you listen to your customers feedback.

Feedback is essential to learning what is working and what isn’t working. Feedback helps you understand if you are on the right track. Seeking criticism, good or bad, is a crucial element for learning and growth.

Feedback provides you with the information you will need in order to succeed in future and make improvements.

That will be all for now. I hope this helped and educated you on some of the things you need to stop doing in life if you want to achieve success.

See you at the top !

9.) Keeping multiple girlfriends when you have not fully stabilised financially.



10.) Dating an entitled lady who believes in spending your money without helping you grow financially


11.) Dating a broke lady who believes it is men's responsibility to take care of a woman's needs from panties to bra.

12.) Relying fully on your job and refusing to start a side hustle, especially if you live in an unstable economy like Nigeria

That's a big lie...I can write a full eBook on this but I will just summarize..some of the major reasons people are average because they don't have the right knowledge(or lack the time,patient or resource to find it),and not hanging around the right people..and lack of confidence..they rather pursue nomadic daily routines of life because it is a familiar trajectory

There are always exceptions, majority don't make it to the top.

I drink a lot, I cant drink alone, I buy for everybody I meet. I drank from my secondary school through university to unemployed era of so many years and continued drinking till date. I am married now but used to Bleep multiple ladies. Still indulge rill date. In all, I consider myself "rich". And am gunning for a billion naira then I retire to my playboys mansion and live happily ever after.
Secret of success is drawing a workable plan and sticking to it. I drafted a 20 years plan and I keep surpassing my yearly target before may each year. Despite corona, I have hit my target since march. So no matter what I drink and Bleep for the year is not affecting me adversely. I am unique, I follow my path knowing fully well that what works for A might not work for B. Man know thyself and live a happy life. Nothing is absolutely bad for the body and nothing is absolutely good for the body, know your body chemistry and give it what it deserves, stop copying the multitude. Seek your path and stick to it.

*They will not include dating perpetually, poverty infested Nigerian girls from poor families - with shameless entitlement mentality -who project the insatiable leeching of their broke families to young men.*
I am talking the type of girls who believe a simple ‘hello’ from a young man is an automatic right to begin to request, demand, solicit and covet money and resources!
Girls for whom the possession of a stank pussy is a substitute for sense and virtue!
This my friends, is a major cause of poverty and impoverishment!

Barrytone:


A bottle of beer is average of 500 naira, 1000 bottles of 750 bottles of beer, how long do you think we can finish it. I don't drink spirits, I don't eat much except dog meat with plantain. I don't pay hoes because I have them that pretends to love me. The write up never mentioned drunk but label heavy drinkers as poor. So far so good, have always been in charge. Know your self and stick to what is good for you and not what the society prescribe as good. I still regret cutting a cake during my wedding as I still don't understand what it means. I drink and everybody knows that I do drink. I don't have to be drunk. The moment I start getting drunk then I will stop. Drunkenness is bad, drinking is good. Mark the difference.
