Tinubu WILL be the President of Nigeria for the next 4years!
Nothing in life is promised. Not for me, not for you, not for Tinubu. Some things are "likely" but certainly not fixed reality. It's one thing I remember to keep me humble.

Books are good, and the application of knowledge is more important than having so much knowledge, abstract thinking is undervalued. smiley smiley smiley

People will want to help you when it’s of no use to you anymore, they’ll try to give you what you have already achieved, they’ll show concerns at the point it doesn’t matter,benefit you.

They’ll deny you food when you’re hungry/starved and try to feed you when you’re full

They’ll bully, terrorize and show you plenty of wickedness at your lowest point but start preaching morality at your peak level

You’ll be castigated, insulted at your worst times but be praised at your best times.

Don't give up after a failure. Giving up is equal to complete loss. Building on the failed experience is 50% close to achieving your dream. This means, starting over again is not actually starting over again. This is what i have learn about life so far.

Christianity is not a religion but a life style designed to give you success and long life... just think about it... everything we regret in life as an adult could have been avoided if only we lived as true Christians

Our most painful experiences often teaches us our biggest lessons.

Sometimes, all you need to bring you back to your senses and teach you invaluable lessons is disappointintment or a romantic heartbreak.
If those don't give you a reality check and makes you wiser, nothing else will and you are destined to come to this world to suffer.

I’ve learned many hard truths that cost me a lot. I will share some of them FREE because I know a lot of people will NEVER take them serious or even pay them attention because of the same reasons listed below…….

1. Life is a joke. The more you take it serious, the more it laughs at you. The more you laugh at life, the more it takes you serious.

Entertainers and comedians see life from this perspective

2. Life is not fair. You have to take risks that are within the ambits of the law to get lucky. Then use the little little luck you get to improve your life.

School dropouts who face their life head on by venturing into business and investments see life from this perspective

3. Safety first! Not taking this cost me a lot I won’t wish on my friends. Whatever you want to do in life, protect yourself. Seek caution. At least be conscious of the risks and look for ways to mitigate or plan your exit strategy.

4. All man for himself, God for all. When all the chips are down, you are on your own. Get used to the mentality of taking care of yourself first because everybody has that responsibility and they are aware you should take it as your responsibility to take care of yourself also.

5. Good friends do not change. Bad friends do not change. As you go on in life, DO ALL YOU CAN TO KEEP GOOD FRIENDS AND DO ALL YOU CAN TO KEEP AWAYS FROM BAD ONES.

Ensure you also add value to your good friends

6. Life is all about value. The more valuable you are as a human being, the more you will enjoy this world. IN ALL THAT YOU DO, ADD MORE AND MORE VALUE TO YOURSELF

7. Life is a zero sum. Life is two faced. Positive and negative.. As you are learning to know God, don’t deceive yourself as to not to want to know how the devil also works. The more you know about the adversary and it’s antics, THE MORE YOU WILL GET CLOSER TO THE SAVIOUR.

[quote author=CaveAdullam post=125966061]1. Talk is cheap, action is hard.

2. The majority of humans clamor for freedom. But the price of freedom and individual sovereignty is an expensive price to pay. This makes people settle for mediocre lives, mediocre jobs, and mediocre relationships.

3. Refusal to do the important things with joy when young will be done in shame when old.

4. Don't castigate what you don't understand. Because in few years you may become a partner with it.

5. Humans are altruistic as well as selfish. The side you find them on any day is dependent on their mood.

When situations are light, the altruistic side shines. When it becomes a matter of survival, which is the commonest mode, selfishness goes overboard.

6. If you don't have solid principles you'll be tossed to and fro by every wind that blows.

7. It becomes harder to remain focused and consistent as you age. Because your mind is scattered along many terrains.

8. Hard work is important. But to rise from top to bottom, you'll need a helping hand.

9. It takes one person to change your life for good. Hence, be vigilant with everyone you come across.

Don't squander time and interactions with good and powerful people.

10. Nothing goes for free in this life. If you have nothing of value to exchange nobody will treat you with respect.

11. Instead of begging someone for help, see how you can help them. In doing so, you protect your reputation and dignity. And nobody can shame you for working to earn.

12. Anything right and good your mind is prompting you to do now, do it. Don't postpone it. That's where your fulfillment lies.

13. Stay aloof from people who fail to reciprocate kind gestures.

Reciprocation doesn't need to be equal. At least they should be trusted enough to side with you when you are at the low.

14. If you want to see the burgeoning of good behavior, good deeds, and luminous character, reward people who effuse it.

15. Learn to think in 2, 3, 4... dimensions. Your first and best plan may fail. But having other strategies and options will help you when things become tough.

16. Don't depend on promises and favors. Without it, you'll survive. So, why then have you suspended your survival hoping for it?

17. Disappointment is part of life. You must be prepared and wait for it. This is not pessimism. It's just a little handbook of wisdom.

18. Never fail to express your love to people who love you. Your friends and families. Acting strange with them makes you less than lower animals.

19. Wolves are always in the raiment of sheep. Being a sheep draws them close as they arrive to feast on you. Being a wolverine yourself makes them fear you.

Occupy the paradox as an adult.

[/quote: These are words of wisdom and I have learnt alot from it. Thank you CaveAdulam and the OP who came up with this topic.
