Sometimes, I wonder how you men reason. Like, seriously who told you I'm dependent on other people's handout? Honestly, what you just said about me is just stupid and nonsensical assumptions.

What can I offer is none of your business and it doesn't concern you.

He replied In regard to your comment where you describe how lucrative olosho industry is. You extended prayer to those who patronise.

There is a says...

When your success is on a Transit u keep it btw you and God..

It's so deep when Bible says don't allow your left hand to know what your right hand is doing... Words#.

So the easiest informat to enemies of progress is in family (siblings or your mom) .

So like u said... Play wisdom and move in silent... Mostly u pray closely to God


What about "Dads"

I don't wanna share any experience here but when you say Family.. nobody is leftout...

Sometime they don't do this things to hurt you purposely... but they really don't know how to shut the hell up which you the particular guy pay the price for their ignorance...

In my own side... I don't keep it away from them because they can hurt me directly... that's impossible...

But I don't trust them giving out my details to third parties that appear to be close to them...

May God help us all...

life ain't funny.

sometimes you don't actually get what you want in life.
But which ever way it comes Always take it as a lesson.
Try as much as possible to avoid Relatives both maternal or paternal coz 99% of them don't actually meant well for you.
Saying this from experience..

What ever thing that brings food to you legitimately hold it well..

Life has thought me that very bad days will make you think that you can't go further. Its a very big lie because bad days don't mean bad life. Secondly do not stress yourself over what you have limited control on its final outcome. Thirdly do not allow any one to tax your greed. Last but not the least hunger is a stronger hammer than sledge.

Hello Nairalanders,

What lesson has life taught you?

Is it what you've thought it is?

Is where you are today were you thought you would be by now?

" I remember growing up as a child, i thought life is just six years in primary school, six in secondary, the following year for jamb, next is to gain admission into the universty, spend another 4 or 5 years in the universty, look for job, get the money, build my house and buy the latest car in town, and then look for a wife.

But while growing up, i find out that life is not what i thought it is. Six years in secondary turned 8 years rather.

I know of my childhood friend who told me he would become a lawyer, but haven repeatedly written jamb for 5 times without a break through, he was force to start learning a mechanic work.

Sometimes, i ask myself; what is the purpose of living, why is living a life so difficult..

At this point in time, my lesson is that nothing good comes easy; and to be happy, you have to make others happy too.

Have a nice day


Life taught me that After all said and done the best friend for man is Jesus Christ. At least when I die, I'm going to be with him. "In my father's house, there are many mansions there" He said. And I believe Him.

1. Life has taught me that in all you do, never give up on your dreams.

2. Life has taught me that life itself is full of challenges and struggles, but never by any means give in to negativity.

3. Life has taught me that life itself is not bed of roses when you get things on the platter of gold, but have the belief that there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.

4. Life has taught me that we ought to surround ourselves with people that will be of great help to us during time of needs and also learn to keep a small circle of friends that will impart your life positively.

5. Life has taught me that as far as we are alive, there is hope. Let's hope for the best and continually work towards our heart desires and dreams.

Life has taught me to be a solipsistic person ..
I had to learn the hard way and etched into my blood the brutal understanding that all Cruelty springs from weaknesses . You're too good they take you for granted , you're bad they say you're a terrible person .. I've just learnt to remain brutal 24/7.. No feelings , No nothing . I just mind my business and I care less about the next man .. Cos the next man might just be the one to pitch your downfall. I've been able to let go any form of humanistic sentiments . It doesn't feel so good but live with being bright -eyed and bushy tailed

life is unfair to some people i think
life is unpredictable you can be happy in the morning in the evening you find yourself in crying position
working hard sometime does not determine your rate of success
it is good to be humble
above all dont think anybody can help you financially, disappointment everywhere.

Life has taught me the various steps of wisdom..
1. Fear of God (the beginning)
2. A very healthy respect and great reverent caution when dealing with the female human (the next step of wisdom)
3. Love of God (the completion of wisdom).

Life is interdependent my friend. You can't completely live on your own without depending on anyone
The kinda Independence am talking about is that I don't want to give people the impression that I can't survive without them.

I got my hands to work and provide for myself, any other stuff that comes in is regarded as a bonus.

CaveAdullam:
1. Women will do anything for money.

Lazarus's case and that of the rich man is even better, women will eat both the crumbs that falls from the table and allow the rich man's dog eat them too.

2. Men fear power + physical dominance. If you got one or both, your respect will heighten. And true on a large scale.

3. Children only keep shut when you stand by your decision and accompany it with a rod. Like women, they love going against boundaries assigned to them.

4. How far you will go in life is dependent on the available knowledge or information you have or able to access.

5. Nobody cares about you, but you still end up thinking about how others see you. Human evolutionary instinct wants to ensure that you're not going against the rules of the tribe.

6. Everyone desires to help and show love, but when the burden is placed upon them they run away. These are weak people, the spectators and critics that lacks good sense of judgement. They are accusers and mere talkers.

7. Born into a poor family, a poor nation and a poor background sets you up for monumental failure. Hence, religion becomes a comforter and escape mechanism because chances of success are ultra slim. So, anything you do in such situation to at least upgrade yourself should be seen as success even though it can't be categorized as the norm. You tried my friend.

8. With wealth, influence and power, you not only break the rules, you make the rules and break it as it pleases you.

9. There are no morally wealthy + powerful people. Every powerful and wealthy man plays unsuspicious immoral game behind closed doors. When caught they rationalize it to mean a virtuous act. Or, pretend nothing happened.

10. The poor desires to be rich, and when he is unable, he castigates the rich and calls wealth vanity. Refer to 7 above.

11. Nobody is coming to help you, the few that will do will only point the route to you, you must do the work for yourself, don't expect anybody to do it for you.

12. People are selfish with knowledge because they think once it goes viral they will lose their power. And this is true. It is then left for you as an individual to go down the rabbit hole and and pursue knowledge. Refer to 4 above.

13. Life is not guaranteed in the next hour, assume you'll die sooner and that may help you come up with productive ideas and walk towards it.

14. No big deal being happy or sad, life will definitely take different turns on you, just be prepared and conscious about it.

15. Family is key. Your friends cannot be compared to your genetic line. Though, some friends has proven to be brothers.

16. Respect everyone. Don't view anyone ignominously, as they might know what you don't and can help when you don't expect.

17. Be kind, but always make sure you pay everyone with their own coins. This will ensure they know that in life, nobody has the monopoly of being kind, frugal, arrogant or prideful. Only the wealthy has such opportunity. Refer to 8 above.

18. Stay focus, continue to try and progress. You may experience a breakthrough, but in the case that you didn't made a significant breakthrough, just know you tried.

19. Majority of humans has died and many will die without achieving their dreams. Take heart.

20. Use your money to take good care of yourself. But also know that being selfish is for a short time, when you die another will inherit all your possessions, and he may possibly be your enemy.

21. Do what makes you happy is an escape mechanism to please your indulgence and never makes you want to feel guilty about your reckless behaviors.

22. If there's a process follow it. If it is long be patient and follow, and same if short. The more you try to short circuit the process, the longer you stay there correcting what you ought to have done in the past.

22. Life doesn't go as planned, always ensure you have alternatives and fallback. Don't depend on mere hope, faith, wishful thinking and prayer. You are not different from other beings. So, don't think your case is special.

23. Respect is only given to the wealthy, high status and powerful because humans are myopic, they judge you by your cover. A poor wise man is an object of mockery to the masses. Refer to 1 above.

24. Suffering is part of every process, make
good use of it.

25. The majority of people that are announcing their helps are only trying to exploit you.

26. If there's something to lose or gain people will comply. Better to use incentives than appeal to emotion or force.

27. Only outliers help genuinely from their hearts. The majority will not help if they have nothing to gain from you. Refer to 26 above.

28. You are not in control, independence or democracy are words to make you feel in control. The government and the wealthy men are the people in control. Refer to 8 above.

29. The wrong side about religion is that its adherents take every allegories and metaphors as facts. Meanwhile, when lessons are extrapolated from these religious tales you will find out that man truly needs religion. Refer to 7 above.

30. You don't know yourself until you suffer lack or have abundance.

31. Experience is the best teacher; if you are advice against an act you'll continually regret not taking action. However, some experiences comes with painful scars. Be careful.

Thanks.

pansophist:
Your parents are desperately hoping that you rescue them from chaos. They won't tell you directly because it will signify failure on their own part since they probably failed to rescue their own parents as well. As they grow older, their most desired wishes would be for you to take care of them as they've done to you at the very least, but it far transcends that. It is to build upon what they've built and carry the responsibility to strengthen the family and resurrect them from struggles that they couldn't defeat. The more successful and sophisticated a person you become, the happier they will be since their fulfillment is tied to your success. Don't disappoint them.

Foooool

If they couldn't rescue themselves, then they should not have children.... That would have saved them tons of money

I really do not subscribe to this idea of not disappointing one's parents by being successful. Our parents had their own lives, and it's not my fault some of them failed to make something out of their life. But I can't live with the expectation of making my parents happy. Let me live my life how I can, and if I'm successful with the way I lived; then so be it. This is just my own perspective sha.
