Fourteen Unwritten Street Rules for Survival in a Work Environment

street rules

In any work environment, there are unwritten rules, popularly known as street rules that you must master if you are to survive there for long. A story is told of a guy who revealed his future intentions of taking a loan and building a home for his family, to a "friend" employee. A few weeks later, he was fired on allegations of being corrupt. After a year of investigation, he was found not guilty. Here are the twelve rules that will keep you in the game for long, without brushing shoulders with your "colleagues" friends in the workplace.
  1. Always do just enough not to get fired
  2. Play a 'sod'
  3. Your colleagues and workmates are your secret enemies
  4. Keep your house private. You should never invite your colleagues to your home. 
  5. Keep your WhatsApp private. By private we mean, never disclose your small steps or winnings on WhatsApp. Limit the statuses, but if need be, let them be flat. Avoid receiving or communicating work-related stuff on your WhatsApp. If they communicate on WhatsApp, reply via email.
  6. Don't engage in office activism
  7. Employ the short-term memory principle. 
  8. See no evil hear no evil
  9. Don't keep your side hustle private. Bury it, and have the access key to the grave alone.  It should never be known, that you have a side hustle.
  10. Isolate yourself in a group of three 
  11. Be the boardroom mouse.
  12. Stay ignorant of the law
  13. If you have to say something personal, just shut up. If you can't, give more than three versions.
  14. Identify one friend
  15. Your response to the question, "how is life," should always portray the negative.

What is Your Treasure?

 A few years ago when I was in college, we had a discussion with my friends on what mattered to each one of us. Someone was asked, in the event of a fire, people drowning, or even an Earthquake, and you happen to be with the whole of your family in that situation, who or what would you save? Say you had your parents, sisters, brothers, your laptop, money, gold, wife, and children, who or what will you save? I want to pose the same question to you. Who or what will you save? I know how tricky it is. I do understand because it wasn't easy for us too. Somehow some of us felt like we would save our parents, and in the order of priority mom the dad, whereas some claimed that they would save their children. But again, I love my wife. She is the mother of my children. If I save my children and let their mother drown or get burnt, how will my children view me? Were it not for my parents, I wouldn't be here, I also do love them. In all honesty, they would be the first ones to be saved. ...

Are You a Man Under 30 Years? Here are 9-Under-30-Years Commandments

9 Advices to a Man Under 30 Years  Growing up, I never had the privilege to get advice from a 30-year-old man on what awaited me when I hit the third floor. I guess growing up with a career dad did not do me all the good but he did his part by ensuring that we had a comfortable life. I therefore had to figure things out myself after getting to 30 years old. Here are my lessons that might also help you. 1. Until you have defined what life is, never commit to a woman. 2. Do not take long before you move out of your parents' house. Even as you do this, always be ready to go back when things do not work out, because at some point in life, you will need to rethink and restrategise. 3. If you have an income in your 20s, use that money to build yourself. If you are into land, buy as much as you can. I always tell my students, if at any point in life, you have the resources but do not know where to invest, just go and buy a piece of land.  4. Do not spend more than two years in a job ...

As I get Old

 They told us it was just a number, but the reality is that age is more than just a number. It marks a significant change in our bodies and lifestyles. Some get wise as they age, whilst foolishness abounds in others. As I get older, I have come to realise several things. 1. Simplicity wins. As you age, you realise that the minimalistic principle is the best. You crave simple things in life, provided that you can meet your needs. 2. Friends, even the close ones, will not stay in your life forever. The energy diminishes as you age. 3. The most important relationship is not the one you have with your children or spouse, but with yourself. 4. Nobody cares about your hard work, but the results. 5. Heartache and failure are normal. 6. Truthfulness becomes a habit 7. Quality over quantity. 8. The difference between 20 and 40 is not 20. Time really flies when you are 20 years. 9. Petite always wins. So, when choosing your partner, get yourself a beautiful petite one. 10. December is not as...
