Harsh Truths About Relationships

 Pay attention to these things 1. ALL boyfriends will NOT leave if sex is taken out of the relationship. 2. Most girlfriends will leave if money is taken out of the relationship. 3. Some parents won't approve of relationships across different castes. 4. The person who says "I can't live without you" will eventually be fine without you. 5. Attractive women often want to marry wealthy men. 6. Wealthy men often treat love like a game. 7. People in love might ignore this advice until they face these issues themselves.

Hard facts about the Work Place

 1. Your boss is not your friend. Regardless of how close you both are, learn to set PROFESSIONAL boundaries.

2. Walls have ears. Be careful who you confide in at work. A listening ear could also be a flippant mouth.

3. Your employer is now concerned about RESULTS. How you get the JOB done is up to you. No excuses.

4. There is always that one person/ group of persons feeding the boss with happenings in the office. Some employees' briefs go beyond the official ( except in work cultures where such act is expressly frowned upon). Be guided.

5. When you get withdrawn from PROJECTS or someone is asked to understudy you, or you get demoted without cogent reason(s), that may be a cue that you'd soon be shown the exit door.

6. As much as you can, keep your private life away from COLLEAGUES. You might be under INVESTIGATION for achieving some personal great feat without you even knowing.

7. Some of your colleagues may not even like you, it could be the way you LOOK, DRESS, SPEAK, your capabilities, accomplishments at work, your aura or for some weird reasons, and that is fine. Everybody cannot like you, so accept that.

8. Pay attention to body language, tone, pitch and pace of voice from your team members, colleagues or your boss. They may provide important cues to what isn't expressly said. Studies have shown that emotions, likes and dislikes are communicated via 38% para-verbal and 55% nonverbal. Only 7% are communicated via verbal communication.

9. There will always be that " exceptional colleague" who gets the job done, gets the recognition and praises. Don't let that feeling of DISDAIN or inadequacy set in. See what that person is doing differently, how they do it and learn. You'll become a better person. Be open to LEARNING.

10. While the workplace should foster POSITIVE VALUABLE RELATIONSHIPS, your primary aim is to get the job done and go home. Don't forget that.

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...
