lookyzy:
please, explain these principles. I want to understand them.

Make simple decisions/actions with limited downsides and unlimited upsides(convexities) and repeat those actions consistently. The results will be cumulative and success becomes inevitable.

I recommend you read Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

1.Fear God ( for he can change any situation even that perfect plan you think you have ...anything can happen so fear God)

9. Emotions are good but don't let it get to your mind
10. Don't live to impress any body (especially ladies )
11. Give ( blessed is the hand that giveth and to the one that taketh) budget your offering, free giving etc (this will help you when you need help)

All my principles are control the people, grab the power , by any means necessary , be selfish , I first , I only do it my way . Observe , pick your advise but act like I don’t . Be less spiritual in the eyes of the people so you’re overlooked as naive. Never believe any word from the next person. Make a plan and more plans . Never to be unprepared . There is a solution to every problem just find it . Make the people dependable on you so you can control them , don’t let them speculate about you rather tell them what you want them to know about you then that way you control their mind too . Act a fool and act knowledgeable, be a good orator and sway their mind with countless tales to ensnare them. Bully them and love them , be a Mam of your words even if it’s creating pain to your family to make an example , take the calculated risk and make fear inexistent. Never think of death till you’re old. I’ve escaped far worse situation this ones won’t scare me . Tell half truth . Be honest only when it pays you. I only have interest not friends , keep my circle small. Never make your home the mecca of friends , keep them guessing . Be a ghost in your area, greet no one answer no one .

These are my principles .

I believe Life is a process and do to others as you want others do to you.

Mine is simple.
Everything I desire is possible.
Hope must be kept alive at all cost.
Re: What Principle Has Kept You Through Life? by EgusiShankly: 8:35pm On Oct 28, 2021
Acidosis:

1. I try to avoid unreasonably high/optimistic expectations.

2. I mind my business and any other business that is capable of harming my business, directly or indirectly.

3. I believe that what God cannot do does exist. #1 God will not honour His name more than His word. #2 He won't lie.

4. I don't keep caeser's possessions, so I owe him NOTHING.

5. I believe in God and I trust His words. I believe in data but I don't trust forecasts.

6. I don't care about winning the rat race. A victorious rat is still a rat.

7. I avoid competition as much as possible.

8. I believe that no one came to this world with a calender so I naturally prefer to act at my own pace. Your Friday can be my Monday. I will party when you're working and work when you're sleeping. That way, I escape unecessary pressure to act like others.
Thank you

1-Be carefull the way you treat others because there is a door behind every that is to say somebody knows someone you done't know 2-the means justifies the end,3- spend below your means,4 trust no one be secretive in all your dealing,5 not everybody likes you,6 done't eat your fruit and eat the seed that is to say save while you earn,7 saving does not make you rich but investment does make you rich-8 is better for God to disapoint you than man to disapoint thats to say done't depend on anyone in life,9-always plan and work towards achieving it, 10- aretimes is better to be alone and work out life than to be with alot of friends and be misled,11- nobody cares about your emotions and feelings when you are with people always smile as if every is ok,-12-smiles are more dangerous than frawning,13 if you live your life pleasing other's then you are a failure,14- a money at hand is better than gold you ve not seen-15 the inform you give others about yourself is what they use in killing you,16- speak less

1. Never be too quick to jump into conclusions until you hear the full story in other words never act on a one sided report.

2. Do not strive to gain the love of others but strive to be respected cause love can be faked but respect that is true.

3. Never expect too much from people love
them because you want to but not because you hope they reciprocate in the same measure.

4. Always have a back up;back up friends,backup resources, backup plans. Never rely too heavily on one source.

so many I have just to drop a few.....

For real? cheesy

Now, your cool headed, mature, responsible and decent online persona makes a lot of sense.

I find men from the middle belt region to be generally down to earth, honest and hard working.

Anyways, I asked because the men who I have been impressed by and I like in my life are from Edo State.

I thought you might be from there because you blew my mind with the principles that hold you down and keep you grounded.

Edo State ke? The ones that I see and know are usually foul mouthed. cheesy

Be contented with what you have

Do not envy others

Don't compare yourself to others

Don't owe debt


It depends. If you are a business man, an entrepreneur or an investor, you would realise that loan/debt is a sure way to achieve your dream fast.

Talk less.

Trust no man

Cut your coat according to your size. You cannot please everyone.

Humility is golden.

I don't owe and I do not borrow what I can't pay back or have a means to pay back.
