You're right. Sadly Nigeria celebrates "Cut and Paste" champions. Stealing is not only about physical theft. Intellectual Property theft is also a crime. OP...try and recognise other peoples IP ...Biko!!!!

@ OP. You didn't add the

16/40/60 rule.
At 16 years of age, you are worried about what every one thinks of you.
At 40 years, you don't care what anyone thinks.
At 60, you realize people were too busy worrying about others' opinions to have been thinking about you.

1. The 80/20 rule.
This is one of the best ways to make better use of your time. The 80/20 rule – also known as The Pareto Principle – basically says that 80 percent of the value you will receive will come from 20 percent of your activities.
So a lot of what you do is probably not as useful or even necessary to do as you may think.
You can just drop – or vastly decrease the time you spend on – a whole bunch of things.
And if you do that you will have more time and energy to spend on those things that really brings your value, happiness, fulfilment and so on.

Well, i dont completely agree with you on the 80/20 rule, unless in rare and blessed occassions. For example give your spouse 20% of your time as against 80%, then tell me later what happened to your relationship.

@ Op, you were actually taught these things in schools, but your teachers must have used a different set of words.

I wish someone had taught the OP in school or earlier on in life how not to appropriate another person's ideas or words (spoken or written), without attributing those word or ideas to their true source!
