1. Love and honour your
mother. Learn from her mistakes. It will save you a lot of headache in your
thirties (30s) and beyond.

2. You are more talented than
you’ll ever know. You don’t
need to sleep with your Boss/
supervisor to get a promotion at work or better grades at
school. Burn late night
candles; put extra time to study and practice until you
master your skill. Hard work
still pays well and does not
kill.

3. Women can build a strong
support network. Don’t let
few ladies with “Pull Her
Down” {PHD} syndrome
discourage you from
cultivating true relationship with your female friends.

4. When a man you meet for
the first time babbles about
how much he earns working for an oil company and how
rich he is, that is a red flag. He
is either a married smooth-
talker who just wants to
sleep with you or he is
childish. Walk away from deceit.

5. Make your own money. Start small. Maintain a stable
bank account. It will keep you
out of trouble.

6. When you meet your Soul mate, don’t forget to wear your most priceless ornament- submission and
humility. But while waiting
for him, don’t cling to any
man to rescue you. Some men
these days are also seeking
for who will rescue them.

7. Know your body. Look at
yourself in front of a full-
length mirror at least once a week, naked and after
clothed. Know your body and
how it works.

8. Life is a gift. But to revel in
it, you must be ready to put a
lot into nurturing your gifts/
talents and skills. Start early.

9. Teenage ended at 19.
Clocking 20 means doing
away with childish
behaviour. But it does not
mean you should forget to
have fun. You can catch fun and not be dirty.

10. Learn the basic skills and
let yourself grow- from how
to keep your underwear
clean, cook, socialize, and
network to how to drive a
car.

11. Don’t do drugs. It kills.
Read books, it fortifies. Dance
as often as you can, it
liberates your spirit, soul and body.

12. Partnership builds bridges.
Don’t ever forget that.

13. Eat healthy. Learn to cook
for yourself. Don’t rely on
noodles alone. The cooking
skill will be useful in future.

14. Don’t give up when you
fail. Try again and again.
Don’t give up on education/
learning.

15. Fear of the future. It is a
state of mind you must learn
to tame. Don’t let fear pull the
carpet from under your feet. The Holy Bible tells us that God has not given us a spirit
of fear but of power, love and
a sound mind.

16. Let go of past hurts. You
cannot move forward if you
keep looking back. Holding on
to bitter experiences and
regrets will stale your future.

17. Learn to exhale, love
deeply and be kind to others,
especially those of low
estate, and the lowest of low.
18. You are beautiful the way
you are. Don’t compare
yourself to others.

19. Prayer is the master key.
Have faith in God and always have the courage to use your
voice wisely. Dream big
today. Fear simply means
False Evidence Appearing
Real. Enjoy the highs and
lows that come with being in your 20s but don’t be afraid to grow older. Live life to the fullest and don’t forget to
smile always!
