That people will always talk and you need to know who you are. If everyone is listening and silent, who is doing the talking? Fools? If you have something to give the world, give it because the world will always talk whether you shut up or shout out.

I also learned that your thoughts can help you or ruin you. Your thoughts are the architect of your destiny. U are a sum of what you put into your mind. Fill it with bad, dirty and negative things and that is the only ugly side you will see life as. Feed it beautiful and good things, you will rise above nonsense. You can't give what you don't have. Those who are evil have their good sides and they know the beauty of goodness. Be nice but don't be stupid. Be nice. Never let anyone change that no matter how much they think they're smart. It is on them, not you. Everyone has a conscience, it is what does not make a man sleep at night, so be nice. It lightens your heart. Evil men always look at their back because their consciencesl worries them everyday, so they don't enjoy whatever they get even if it looks to you outside like enjoyment. They are suffering.

Last thing I learned is that you must always remain grateful for the gift of life. Stop complaining, start appreciating. Life is full of experiences and it is not expensive to get but we always think it will be enjoyed when we spend plenty money. You will now understand why the rich spend money to visit islands and enjoy nature. Create your own nature. enjoy life. don't worry, be happy. Never wish to be like anyone because you may hate their life when you put on their costume. That is when you see that everyone has been putting on make-up and you are beautiful in your own mirror.

, the karma is Hindu, that is what dey believe, is means the energy you put out still comes back to you. Other religion copied it from them, without understanding the real concept.
As baptism is a thing for Christianity as karma is hindu

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.

That's why Kanye urinated on grammy

Re: Truth You Learnt As An Adult by Princewill1(m): 11:22am On Sep 25, 2023
I'm late but let me drop some truths:

1. EMBRACE SUFFERING: There is no absolute bliss in life. No matter your status, at some point in life, you will experience either financial, physical, mental or emotional suffering. So prepare your mind for it.

2. BE CAPABLE OF VIOLENCE: Be capable to cause absolute violence but be peaceful as an individual, organization or a nation. That's the best way to attain respect. A man who is said to be peaceful but incapable of violence is not truly peaceful but harmless and weak. It's when you are capable to cause real harm but chose peace that you're truly peaceful. Also your capability to cause real violence will always attract respect to you. That's why NATO hasn't invaded Russia after too many talks because she can cause real harm to NATO...Nato respects the country. That's the reason Iraq and Libya were invaded by NATO because both can't do shiit.

3. WEALTH IS TRANS-GENERATIONAL OR PREDESTINED: Forget about hardwork real wealth not riches is either transgenerational, predestined or luck... 100 people from same Kano State can do the exact same things that Dangote did without making it big. Bye!

Etosha:
* That you are what you think about most of the time.
*That every problem comes with its own solution.
* That you can only see the solution when you are not panicking or complaining.
* That the elements and the entire universe don't support those who complain.
* Your mind is the most powerful tool next to God in the issue of success.
* That wealth and prosperity can be achieved regardless of environment.
*That some problems have a way of resolving themselves if only you are bold enough to ignore them.
* That your good nature can ruin you if you don't use it with care.

Re: Truth You Learnt As An Adult by Eileene(f): 1:01pm On Sep 25, 2023
1.That your mentality is what separates you from your environment...

2.That who you become is more important than what you acquire...

3.Physical possessions like degrees, wealth,houses,cars are only valuable when they are connected to purpose...coming to this earth to toil only for yourself when life itself is fleeting is the best definition of vanity...

4.Children are the best legacy only if you can pass them good convictions...

5.The real assets at the end of life are:
a) your relationship with God
b) Your peace
c) Your fulfillment

6.Being loved and valued by others is more orgasmic than s3x itself....

7.No matter how familiar a person is to you always give room for that person to respect you for respect is more valuable than love...You can hurt who you love but hardly a one you respect for reputation ruined is hard to repair(one of the philosophy I live by)...

8.People who are rigid are hardly successful in life... Master relationships master life itself for life is for humans and humans interact through relationships...

Negotiations are just what we engage in to flavor our animalistic nature. Because a step below that is basically the law of the jungle.

So for example, as a country signs treaties and enacts UN laws, it still maintains a large military to fight off invaders, because the documents countries are signing are not what protects them, but their ability to fight if the other party breaks it.

Or when a bank is giving you a loan, and you both sign documents, but the banks make sure they have collateral worth more than the loan they give, so when you default, they won't lose.

So as you are entering any agreement/negotiations, make sure that when shit hits the fan, you do not lose, and that your strength is in you, not in the documents you are signing.

Continuations........

Real life examples that butress the above.

Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Ukraine transposed the minsk agreement. Since Ukraine didn't act civilized, then you, the offended will have to go jungle mode. That's how it works.

Hakimi married his wife, but made sure that if that marriage ends, he will not loose, hence he took measures to protect himself, to avoid rewarding a person that breaks the agreements.

Same thing with the police (maybe not Nigerian police lol). They will treat you civil and protect you, but if you fail to be a good citizen , prison awaits you and in some countries, the death penalty.

Agreements/documents doesn't give you any power, it only regulate how brutal you can be. It's just a step above natural law, which is the jungle law. The law of strength and weakness.

This is real life, and you must know how to live well in it. Agreements are meant to be broken. Humans are notoriously selfish, and will destroy any agreements, marriages, truce etc for their selfishness, especially when you can't deal with them.

Prepare for that day in any negotiation you enter. I pray you don't have an accident but please, wear your seatbelt. I come in peace.
