Title: Don't Be Cruel Once upon a time in a small town, there lived a young boy named Tunmise. Tunmise was kind-hearted and had a passion for playing the guitar. He would spend hours practicing, dreaming of one day becoming a famous musician. However, Tunmise's dreams were shattered when he became the target of relentless bullying at school. It all started one day when a group of older boys began taunting Tunmise for being different. They would call him names, make fun of his music, and even physically harm him. Tunmise tried to ignore the bullies and keep to himself, but their cruel words and actions weighed heavily on him. As the bullying continued, Tunmise's confidence and self-esteem plummeted. He no longer found joy in playing the guitar and would often lock himself in his room, feeling defeated and alone. The once bright and hopeful young boy had become a shadow of his former self, consumed by the pain inflicted by the bullies. One day, Tunmise's music teacher, Ms. Adedeji, noticed a change in his behavior and decided to talk to him. Tunmise poured his heart out to her, revealing the extent of the bullying he had endured. Ms. Adedeji listened attentively and offered words of comfort and encouragement. With Ms. Adedeji's support, Tunmise found the strength to confront the bullies and stand up for himself. He spoke out against their hurtful behavior and demanded they stop. To his surprise, the bullies were taken aback by Tunmise's courage and sincerity. Some even apologized for their actions, realizing the pain they had caused. From that day on, the bullying stopped, and Tunmise began to rebuild his confidence and passion for music. With Ms. Adedeji by his side, he continued to practice and improve his skills, determined to not let the cruelty of others hold him back. As time passed, Tunmise's talent shone brighter than ever before. He started performing at local events and even gained recognition for his music. The once broken boy had transformed into a resilient and empowered young man, using his experiences to inspire others to stand up against bullying and spread kindness. In the end, Tunmise learned that no matter how cruel the world may seem, staying true to oneself and finding the courage to speak up can lead to healing and growth. And as he strummed his guitar under the starry sky, Tunmise knew that he was destined for greatness, using his music to touch hearts and spread a message of love and acceptance. Remember, in a world full of darkness, kindness always has the power to light the way. So, as the stars twinkle above, let us all remember the mantra to live by: Don't be cruel.

In the realm of human nature, where the delicate balance between good and evil teeters precariously, there exists an ancient wisdom that has echoed through the corridors of time: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." This profound adage serves as a timeless reminder of the folly of seeking vengeance and the transformative power of forgiveness. In a remote village nestled amidst towering mountains, there lived a young man named Ethan. Haunted by a tragic past, his heart had been consumed by bitterness and a thirst for revenge. Ethan believed that the only way to find solace was to inflict pain upon those who had wronged him. Driven by his desire for retribution, Ethan embarked on a perilous quest to track down his enemies. He traveled far and wide, his heart filled with a cold and unforgiving resolve. Along his journey, he encountered countless individuals who had also suffered great loss and injustice. One fateful evening, as Ethan approached a bustling town, he overheard a group of villagers engaged in a heated debate. A young woman named Anya had been accused of a heinous crime, and the villagers were clamoring for her execution. Ethan's heart skipped a beat as he realized that Anya was the very person he had been seeking. She was the one who had betrayed him and caused him so much pain. A surge of anger and hatred coursed through his veins, and he was consumed by an overwhelming desire for vengeance. But as Ethan watched the villagers baying for Anya's blood, a flicker of doubt began to gnaw at his soul. He had come to this town seeking retribution, but was this truly the path to justice? Would killing Anya bring him the peace he so desperately craved? In that moment, Ethan remembered the words of an old wise man he had met along his travels. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," the wise man had said. "True justice lies not in vengeance, but in breaking the cycle of violence." Ethan's resolve wavered as he contemplated the wise man's words. He realized that if he were to kill Anya, he would only perpetuate the cycle of pain and suffering. True justice, he knew, lay in finding a way to heal the wounds of the past and to forge a path towards reconciliation. With a heavy heart, Ethan approached the villagers and revealed Anya's true innocence. He told them of the circumstances that had led to her being falsely accused, and he pleaded for her life to be spared. The villagers were stunned by Ethan's revelation. They had been blinded by their anger and desire for vengeance, but Ethan's words had opened their eyes to the truth. One by one, they laid down their weapons and agreed to let Anya go free. In the aftermath of that fateful day, Ethan and Anya embarked on a journey of healing and reconciliation. They worked together to rebuild the trust that had been shattered between them, and they dedicated their lives to promoting peace and understanding in their community. And so, the story of Ethan, the man who chose forgiveness over vengeance, became a legend whispered among the villagers. It served as a testament to the transformative power of compassion and the enduring truth that an eye for an eye only leads to darkness, while forgiveness illuminates the path towards a brighter future. |

Once upon a time in a small village nestled deep in the forest, there was a young girl named Elara. Elara was known throughout the village for her striking beauty and kind heart. Her long, flowing hair shimmered like spun gold in the sunlight, and her eyes sparkled like the brightest diamonds. She was adored by all who knew her, and many young men vied for her hand in marriage. One day, a wealthy merchant named Callum came to the village. He was dressed in fine silks and adorned with glittering jewels that caught the eye of everyone in the village. Callum was charming and eloquent, and soon he caught the attention of Elara. Mesmerized by his wealth and status, Elara found herself drawn to him, much to the dismay of her family and friends. As Callum courted Elara, he lavished her with gifts of gold and jewels, promising her a life of luxury and comfort. Elara was swept off her feet by the grandeur and opulence that Callum presented to her, and she soon agreed to marry him. The entire village buzzed with excitement at the thought of Elara becoming the wife of the wealthy merchant. As the wedding day approached, Elara found herself consumed by the allure of Callum's wealth and the promise of a lavish lifestyle. She allowed herself to be swept away by the glimmer of gold and the sparkle of jewels, believing that they would bring her happiness and fulfillment. However, as time passed, Elara began to see beyond the glittering façade of wealth that Callum presented. She realized that his lavish gifts and grand gestures were a mere distraction from the emptiness and shallowness that lay beneath. She longed for love, companionship, and true connection, but found herself feeling isolated and unfulfilled in her marriage. Despite the luxurious trappings of her life with Callum, Elara felt a sense of deep unhappiness and longing. She realized that true happiness could not be bought with gold and jewels, but rather came from within, from nurturing meaningful relationships, pursuing passions, and finding purpose and fulfillment in life. As Elara reflected on her journey, she learned a valuable lesson: not all that glitters is gold. The material possessions and wealth that had once seemed so enticing now paled in comparison to the richness of a life filled with love, connection, and inner peace. In the end, Elara made the courageous decision to follow her heart and seek out true happiness, even if it meant leaving behind the glittering trappings of wealth and status. And as she ventured forth on her journey of self-discovery and growth, she discovered that the true treasures in life were not found in the sparkle of jewels, but in the warmth of a loving heart and the beauty of a soul at peace. 1 Like

Kate and I had been friends for as long as I could remember. We grew up together, attended the same schools, and shared countless memories throughout the years. We were more than just friends, we were like sisters. One summer day, Kate and I decided to go for a hike in the nearby mountains. We packed our bags with snacks, water, and our phones, and set off on the trail. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and everything seemed perfect. But little did we know that our adventure was about to take a turn for the worse. As we were making our way up the trail, Kate suddenly slipped on a loose rock and tumbled down a steep slope. I watched in horror as she disappeared from view, her cries for help ringing in my ears. Without a second thought, I sprinted down the slope after her, ignoring the cuts and bruises I sustained along the way. I finally reached Kate, who had twisted her ankle and couldn't put any weight on it. She was in pain and scared, but I reassured her that everything would be okay. I wrapped her ankle with a makeshift bandage and helped her to her feet, supporting her weight as we slowly made our way back up the slope. It was a long and arduous journey, but we pushed through it together. We encouraged each other, sharing jokes and memories to keep our spirits high. And finally, after what felt like an eternity, we reached the top of the trail, where we were met by a group of concerned hikers who had heard our cries for help. They offered to call for help, but Kate refused, insisting that she could make it back to the car on her own. And so, with my help, she limped her way back to safety, never once complaining or giving up. As we drove back home, exhausted but relieved, I couldn't help but feel grateful for our friendship. Kate had always been there for me, through thick and thin, and now it was my turn to repay the favor. A friend in need is truly a friend indeed, and I knew that no matter what challenges we faced in the future, we would always have each other's backs. |

The sun shone brightly in the sky, casting a warm glow over the small pond in the park. Ducks lazily floated on the surface of the water, while children laughed and played on the grassy banks. In the center of the pond, a goldfish swam gracefully, its shimmering scales glinting in the sunlight. The goldfish was named Bubbles, and he was the most beautiful fish in the pond. His scales were a brilliant shade of gold, and his fins fluttered gracefully as he moved through the water. Bubbles was the pride and joy of the pond, and he knew it. But despite his beauty, Bubbles was not a happy fish. He longed for something more than just swimming in circles all day long. He yearned for adventure, for excitement, for a life beyond the confines of the pond. One day, as Bubbles was swimming near the edge of the pond, he noticed a small hole in the ground. Curious, he swam closer and peered inside. To his surprise, the hole led to a hidden underground tunnel. Without hesitating, Bubbles darted inside, eager to explore this new and mysterious world. The tunnel was dark and cramped, but Bubbles pressed on, his fins pushing him forward through the narrow passageway. As he swam deeper into the tunnel, he discovered a whole new world beneath the surface of the pond. There were strange and colorful fish swimming around him, and the walls were lined with glittering gems and jewels. Bubbles was mesmerized by the beauty of this underground world, but he knew he couldn't stay forever. Eventually, he would have to return to the pond above. Reluctantly, he turned around and began to swim back towards the entrance of the tunnel. But as he swam, Bubbles realized that he had made a terrible mistake. The tunnel had shifted and changed while he was exploring, and now he couldn't find his way back to the pond. Panic gripped his heart as he realized he was lost in the darkness. Hours passed as Bubbles frantically searched for a way out, but the tunnel seemed to stretch on forever. Just when he was beginning to lose hope, a voice called out to him. "Hey there, little fella. Need some help?" Bubbles turned to see a wise old turtle swimming towards him. The turtle introduced himself as Tuck, and he explained that he knew the tunnel like the back of his flipper. With Tuck's help, Bubbles was able to find his way back to the pond at last. As he emerged from the tunnel and swam back into the sunlight, Bubbles felt a sense of gratitude and relief washing over him. He realized that there was no need to go searching for adventure elsewhere, for he had everything he needed right here in the pond. With a newfound appreciation for his home, Bubbles swam happily among his fellow fish, content in the knowledge that a goldfish has no hiding place. |

John felt like he had been through hell and back. He had just overcome a serious illness that had left him bedridden for weeks. Every day had been a struggle, with his body weak and his mind foggy from the constant pain and discomfort. But now, as he sat in his living room, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face and the taste of fresh air in his lungs, he couldn't help but feel grateful. He closed his eyes and offered a silent prayer of thanks to God. He had never been particularly religious, but during his darkest moments, he had found solace in praying for strength and healing. And now, as he looked back on his journey to recovery, he couldn't help but attribute his survival to a higher power. John had been in and out of the hospital for months, undergoing countless tests and treatments while doctors raced against time to diagnose and treat his illness. There were moments when he had lost all hope, moments when he had felt like giving up. But every time he had prayed for strength, a small glimmer of hope had shone through, urging him to keep fighting. And fight he did. Day after day, he had pushed himself to keep going, to keep believing that he would overcome this obstacle in his path. And now, as he sat in his living room, surrounded by his loved ones and feeling the warmth of their love and support, he knew that he had made it through. Tears welled up in John's eyes as he thought about all the people who had stood by him during his darkest hour. His family, his friends, the doctors and nurses who had worked tirelessly to save his life – they had all played a part in his recovery. But above all, he knew that it was God who had been watching over him, guiding him through the darkest moments and leading him towards the light. As he opened his eyes and looked out at the world beyond his window, John made a promise to himself and to God. He vowed to live each day to the fullest, to cherish every moment and never take anything for granted. And as he whispered a final prayer of thanks, a sense of peace and gratitude washed over him, filling his heart with hope and love. John knew that his journey wasn't over yet, that there would be more challenges and obstacles to face in the future. But he also knew that with God by his side and his loved ones close at hand, he could overcome anything that came his way. And so, with a renewed sense of purpose and determination, John stood up and took his first steps towards a bright and promising future, knowing that he had been given a second chance at life – a chance he would not waste. |

Once upon a time in a small village, there were two sisters named Lily and Rose. Both of them were known for their mischievous and naughty nature. They would often play pranks on their neighbors, steal fruits from the local market, and get into trouble wherever they went. One sunny afternoon, Lily and Rose were bored and looking for some fun. They decided to sneak into the village's bakery and steal some freshly baked cookies. As they crept into the kitchen, the sweet scent of cookies filled their nostrils, making their mouths water. They quickly grabbed a handful of cookies and stuffed them into their pockets before running out of the bakery. Their mischief didn't go unnoticed, and soon the baker caught them red-handed. He scolded the sisters and threatened to tell their parents about their naughty behavior. Lily and Rose felt guilty for what they had done and promised to never steal again. But their promises didn't last long. The very next day, they snuck into the local garden and stole some beautiful flowers to decorate their room. The garden owner was furious when he discovered the theft and chased the sisters away. Lily and Rose ran as fast as they could, but they couldn't escape their guilt. Their parents were disappointed in their behavior and decided to teach them a lesson. They sent the girls to help the villagers with their chores and apologized for their misdeeds. Lily and Rose learned the importance of honesty and kindness and promised to be better in the future. From that day on, the naughty sisters became known for their helpfulness and generosity in the village. They no longer caused trouble and instead, they spread joy and laughter wherever they went. Lily and Rose had learned their lesson and became beloved members of the community, showing that even the naughtiest of children can change their ways with the right guidance. |

Once upon a time, in a small village nestled among rolling hills, there lived a humble man named Jacob. Jacob was known throughout the village for his wisdom and deep connection to the divine. His days were spent tending to the fields, sharing his knowledge with the youth, and spreading positivity and love wherever he went. One day, as Jacob was walking along a path near the village's serene lake, he came across a young girl who was sitting by the water, staring pensively into the distance. Sensing her troubled spirit, Jacob approached her and gently asked what weighed heavy on her heart. The girl, named Sarah, poured out her troubles to Jacob, revealing that she felt lost and hopeless, unsure of her place in the world and what path to follow. Jacob listened intently, his heart filled with compassion for the young girl. With a gentle smile, Jacob began to share his wisdom with Sarah, speaking of the importance of faith, inner strength, and the power of gratitude. He told her that true knowledge comes not just from books or study, but from the heart and the soul. As the sun began to set behind the hills, Jacob and Sarah sat together by the lake, their spirits entwined in a shared moment of peace and understanding. Sarah felt a sense of calm wash over her, grateful for the presence of this wise man who had appeared in her life. In that quiet moment of connection, under the watchful gaze of the setting sun, Sarah closed her eyes and whispered a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for sending Jacob her way. She thanked Him for the gift of knowledge, love, and guidance that had been bestowed upon her through the heart of this kind and wise man. And so, in that tranquil moment by the lake, Jacob and Sarah both felt a profound sense of gratitude for the knowledge and wisdom that had touched their lives, a gift from the divine that connected them in a shared journey of faith and understanding. |

Once upon a time in Lagos, Nigeria, there lived a young and ambitious man named Tunde. He had always dreamed of making a name for himself in the bustling city, away from his humble beginnings in the eastern part of the country. Tunde packed his bags and headed to Lagos, determined to succeed. He faced numerous challenges, but his determination and hard work eventually paid off. He landed a good job, made new friends, and even found a beautiful apartment in the upscale Victoria Island neighborhood. Despite his success, Tunde couldn't shake off the feeling of homesickness. He missed his family, the warmth of his community, and the familiar flavors of his mother's cooking. One day, while exploring the city, he stumbled upon a small eastern Nigerian restaurant in the Surulere neighborhood. The aroma of egusi soup and fufu transported him back home. Tunde became a regular at the restaurant, and the owner, a kind-hearted woman named Aunty Nne, welcomed him like a son. She introduced him to other easterners living in Lagos, and soon Tunde found a sense of community and belonging. As he navigated the city's busy streets, Tunde realized that no matter how far he wandered, his heart remained rooted in his eastern homeland. He learned that home was not just a physical place but a sense of identity, culture, and love. Tunde's journey taught him that North, East, West, or South, home is indeed the best. He embraced his roots and found a way to merge his heritage with his new life in Lagos. And so, Tunde's story became a testament to the power of home and the human spirit's ability to find belonging in the unlikeliest of places. The story highlights the themes of: - The importance of one's cultural heritage and roots - The power of community and belonging - The idea that home is not just a physical place but a sense of identity and love - The ability to find a sense of belonging in a new place while still holding onto one's roots. |

Raphael had always been a charming and good-looking man. Women were drawn to him like moths to a flame, and he had never struggled to attract attention from the opposite sex. He knew he had a way with words and a twinkle in his eye that could make even the most virtuous woman weak at the knees. But as Raphael grew older, he began to realize the destructive power of his allure. He saw how easily he could manipulate and seduce others for his own selfish desires. Lustful temptations plagued his mind, and he felt like a prisoner to his own impulses. One day, after a particularly intense struggle with his immoral thoughts, Raphael fell to his knees and cried out to the Lord for help. He begged for strength to overcome his lustful desires and to be freed from the chains of his own sinfulness. From that moment on, Raphael felt a shift within himself. He started to pray daily, seeking guidance and forgiveness from the Lord. He surrounded himself with positive influences and distanced himself from temptations that could lead him astray. Slowly but surely, Raphael began to conquer his lustful inclinations. He found peace in the words of the scriptures and solace in the love of the Lord. Every time he felt his resolve waver, he turned to prayer and found strength to resist the temptations that once held him captive. Years passed, and Raphael had transformed into a new man. Instead of using his charm for personal gain, he used it to spread love and kindness to those around him. He became a pillar of strength and virtue in his community, a shining example of redemption and grace. One evening, as Raphael gazed up at the star-filled sky, he felt overwhelming gratitude wash over him. He closed his eyes and whispered a heartfelt prayer of thanks to the Lord for guiding him on his journey of self-discovery and transformation. Raphael knew that he would always carry the scars of his past sins, but he also knew that he had been forgiven and given a second chance at life. And for that, he would be forever grateful. |

A wealthy white man walked into a bar in Miami. As soon as he entered, he noticed an African woman (black), sitting in one corner. He walked over to the counter, removed his wallet and shouted, "Bartender! I'm buying drinks for everyone in this bar, except that black woman over there!" The bartender collected the money and began serving free drinks to everyone in the bar, except the African woman. Instead of becoming upset, the black woman simply looked up at the guy and shouted, "Thank you!" This infuriated the wealthy guy. So once again, he took out his wallet and shouted, "Waiter! This time I am buying bottles of wine and additional food for everyone in this bar, except for that African sitting in the corner over there!" The bartender collected the money from the man and began serving free food and wine to everyone in the bar except the African. When the waiter finished serving the food and drinks, the African woman simply smiled at the man and said, Thank you!" That made him furious. So he leaned over the counter and asked the bartender, "What is wrong with that black woman? I have bought food and drinks for everyone in this bar except for her, and instead of becoming angry, she just sits there, smiles at me and shouts 'Thank you.' Is she mad?" The bartender smiled at the wealthy man and said, "No, she is not mad. She is the OWNER of this establishment." May our enemies work unknowingly in our favor. |

Title: The Wealthy Tears Act 1 Scene 1 (The curtain rises to reveal a lavish mansion, with opulent decorations and luxurious furnishings. The room is filled with wealthy individuals mingling and chatting animatedly. Among them is Victoria, a wealthy socialite who always exudes confidence and charm.) Victoria: (to a group of guests) Oh, darling, you simply must try the caviar. It's simply divine. Guest 1: (laughing) Oh, Victoria, you always know how to throw the most extravagant parties. Guest 2: (admiring the mansion) Your home is like a palace, Victoria. You truly have a taste for the finer things in life. Victoria: (smiling proudly) Well, my dear, one must always strive for excellence in all aspects of life. And with my wealth and status, I have access to only the best. Scene 2 (The party continues, with the guests enjoying the lavish spread of food and drinks. Suddenly, the mood shifts as a man bursts into the room, causing a commotion.) Man: (frantically) Victoria, we need to talk. It's urgent. Victoria: (alarmed) What's the matter, Marcus? Why are you so worked up? Marcus: (breathless) It's about your investments. They've taken a nosedive. You've lost everything. Victoria: (shocked) What do you mean, I've lost everything? Marcus: (grimly) I'm sorry, Victoria. But it's true. Your wealth, your assets, they're all gone. You're broke. Victoria: (horrified) No, this can't be happening. I can't be poor. I can't lose everything. (As the reality of her situation sinks in, Victoria breaks down in tears, her facade of confidence crumbling away. The guests watch in stunned silence, realizing that even the wealthy can suffer hardships.) Act 2 Scene 1 (The once lavish mansion is now in disarray, with belongings strewn about and the decor looking shabby and neglected. Victoria is seen sitting alone, staring blankly into space.) Victoria: (muttering to herself) How did this happen? How did I go from living a life of luxury to being penniless? (Marcus enters the room, looking somber.) Marcus: (sadly) Victoria, I know this is hard to accept, but we need to face reality. Your days of extravagance are over. Victoria: (defeated) What am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to survive without my wealth? Marcus: (supportively) You may have lost your riches, Victoria, but you haven't lost your spirit. You're strong and resilient. You can rebuild your life, even if it means starting from scratch. (Scene fades to black as Victoria contemplates her uncertain future, realizing that the wealthy also cry.) (The curtain falls on a poignant note, leaving the audience to ponder the fragility of wealth and the resilience of the human spirit.) |

One day a snake slithered over a saw and was slightly injured. From one moment to the next it returned and bit the saw with all its fury; and in the process its mouth was badly wounded. Then, without understanding what had happened, she decided to embrace the saw, pushing with all her body and with all her strength, but in the end she herself lost her life. Sometimes we try to hurt those who have hurt us Eventually we realize that we are hurting ourselves. In life, sometimes it is better to ignore situations, ignore people, ignore their behaviors and even words. People say and do many things, but you decide whether they affect you! It is often better not to react so as not to suffer yourself. Revenge has consequences that can sometimes be deadly or harmful. Therefore, never let hate take over your life, because love is stronger than anything else. |

Bill Gates was invited by a high school to give a lecture. He arrived by helicopter, took the paper from the pocket where he had written eleven items. He read everything in less than 5 minutes, was applauded for more than 10 minutes non-stop, thanked him and left in his helicopter. What was written is very interesting, read: 1. Life isn't easy — get used to it. 2. The world is not concerned about your self-esteem. The world expects you to do something useful for it BEFORE you feel good about yourself. A former cleaning lady becomes a chef and fulfils her dream of having her own organic restaurant True story: A simple (but powerful) gesture of kindness from a CEO 3. You will not earn $20,000 a month once you leave school. You won't be vice president of a company with a car and phone available until you've managed to buy your own car and phone. 4. If you find your teacher rude, wait until you have a boss. He will not feel sorry for you. 5. Selling old newspapers or working while on vacation is not beneath your social standing. Your grandparents have a different word for it: they call it opportunity. 6. If you fail, it's not your parents' fault. So do not whine about your mistakes, learn from them. 7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as critical as they are now. They only got that way from paying your bills, washing your clothes and hearing you say they're "ridiculous." So before saving the planet for the next generation wanting to fix the mistakes of your parent's generation, try cleaning your own room. 8. Your school may have blurred the distinction between winners and losers, but life isn't like that. In some schools, you don't repeat more than a year and you have as many chances as you need to get it right. This looks like absolutely NOTHING in real life. If you step on the ball, you're fired… STREET!!! Do it right the first time! 9. Life is not divided into semesters. You won't always have summers off, and it's unlikely that other employees will help you with your tasks at the end of each term. 10. Television is NOT real life. In real life, people have to leave the bar or the club and go to work. 11. Be nice to the CDFs (those students that others think are assholes). There is a high probability that you will work FOR one of them.” Know these and know peace. I come in PEACE

A man who can control his sexual urge is a man who can live many years on earth. Men don't know that some of their failures are caused by multiple girlfriends Not all girls have good spirit. Some are demons, others have venom between their legs. Some women are destiny destroyers, beware. Pay close attention: 1. A real man only has one woman in his life. 2. Don't obey your Erection at all times. Most erections mislead you Control your erection if you don't want to have few days on earth with much poverty in you. 3. Don't date a lady because she has curves, boobs and a sexy shape. These things are simply misleading avoid such, don't fall for what is called social media irony. 4. Not everything you see under skirt you must work to eat, some skirts contain snakes that bite you and make you uncomfortable. control your sexual urge Self control and abstinence pays a lot in most cases. 5. Marrying a woman doesn't mean you own her, or she owns you. Treat her with respect Make her your queen, love, honor her and give her reasons to treat you the same. 6. Having many girlfriends doesn't make you a man. It only makes you a womanizer, a cheater and a boy. 7. Just because you're good in bed doesn't make you a man. A real man is a man who does not run away from his responsibility but faces it squarely. 8. Respect any woman who loves you Yes, is not easy for a lady to throw her love on you and support your future. 9. The world celebrates successful men No one will celebrate you for having many girlfriends. So what's the point? Waste of energy, money & wasted sperm. Remember, being honest, loyal and faithful, is the trademark of a real man. Always remember that |

A journalist asks Cristiano Ronaldo: "Why does your mother still live with you? Why don't you build her a house?" Cristiano Ronaldo replies: "My mother raised me and she dedicated her life for me. She would go to sleep hungry, just to let me eat. We had no money at all. "She worked 7 days a week and nights as a maid to buy my first shoes so I could be a player. All my success is dedicated to her and because of her and as long as she has a life, she will always be by my side, she has everything I can give. "She is my refuge and my greatest gift."

An 84-year-old man is having a drink in Harpoon Harry's. Suddenly a gorgeous girl enters and sits down a few seats away. The girl is so attractive that he just can't take his eyes off her. After a short while, the girl notices him staring, and approaches him. Before the man has time to apologize, the girl looks him deep in the eyes and says to him in a sultry tone: "I'll do anything you'd like. Anything you can imagine in your wildest dreams, it doesn't matter how extreme or unusual it is, I'm game. I want $100, and there's another condition."' Completely stunned by the sudden turn of events, the man asks her what her condition is. "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." The man takes a moment to consider the offer from the beautiful woman. He whips out his wallet and puts $100 dollars into her hand... He then looks her square in the eyes, and says slowly and clearly: "Paint my house." Our needs change as we get older, and we tend to look for bargains... |

A journalist asked Will Smith, whose wealth is estimated at $350 million, if his money makes him happy. This was his response: "I spent half of my life raising money and now I spend the second half of my life giving it away." Once you've bought everything you want, there's no material thing that can ever satisfy you. I hope everyone can feel this. When you realize that no relationship, no money, no kids can make you happy, there is literally nothing that can. You have to find happiness in your mind and in your heart regardless of all that. Even with all the money in the world, we end up realizing that everything we are looking for is within us and not outside of us.

10 RULES OF SEX DURING DATING. 1. Don't sleep with a woman on the first day of seeing her naked body. Create an emergency and stop. 2. Don't sleep in a woman's house, whether it is your first night with her or the second or the last. Sleeping in her house is losing your power and control. 3. Use a condom on the first sex attempt. Use a condom every day you have sex until the day you decide to marry her. This is a MUST. Don't compromise on this. 4. The first sex should be during the daytime. This allows you to understand her sexual health and nature. 5. Talk vulgar deliberately. If she responds with vulgarity. End the relationship. 6. No sex messages on WhatsApp or text. No nudes. Your inbox should always be as clean as a whistle. 7. Have a HIV test together as early as possible in the relationship. Remember, this is not a ticket for raw sex. Some tests can turn out negative because of HIV treatment. This is called a false negative. 8. Find out if she is on any medication. Don't be a fool. Ask. Research. 9. If there is malodorous discharge on the condom, reprimand her. If there are traces of blood on the condom sheath, reprimand her. Don't be in a relationship with a woman who does not take care of her vaginal health. 10. Know her menstrual cycle. This will save you from being a slave of the state. Bonus: Take care of your penis. This is your manhood. Don't sleep with anything in a skirt.

A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!" The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it. She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use." "But I didn't use them." 'Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here." "But I didn't go to any of those shows.." "Well, we have them, and you could have." No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response. After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check. "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00" "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me." "But I didn't!" "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
