Life has taught me that everything is ultimately meaningless. Our existence, our accomplishments, our failures, our petty and great worries, our passions, our experiences.... Everything! All transient and meaningless in the ultimate scheme of things.
This lesson, if internalised, would force you to swallow a massive chill pill.

baddosky1:
1) Never inconvenience yourself to please others because when it is their turn, they won't stick out their head for you

2) Never judge people by the way they look (a well shaven guy who tucks in his shirt can be a hardened thief while a guy who sports dreadlocks and sags his trousers can be an angel)

3) Being religiously pious and going to church every Sunday is not a guarantee that God will bless you, protect you or that you will make heaven. (Some unbelievers who don't go to church are the ones enjoying life to the fullest, have never encountered any mishap whatsoever and you may be surprised to meet them in heaven while many churchgoers die in road accidents, live in penury and will burn in hell)

BONUS: Last but not the least: (For Men Only)...Never give a woman the impression (no matter how much you love her) that you CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER...the day you do it...YOU ARE FINISHED!


Omo, I love this your bonus o. undecided

Many people saying don't trust anyone. Who are those tagged "anyone"? Are they not still the same people posting here about trust?

We humans are just hypocrites.

Out of the myriads of postings somebody can easily pick out the educative ones and most of the posts are actually educative even though there are some foolish ones too, but can't we ignore?
Another Lesson learnt: Learn to ignore irrelevancies in life and focus on the relevancies grin

1. Life goes on...
2. There are no universal rules for anything.
3. Humanity is overrated.
4. Most people we respect/love greatly is due to our limited knowledge of who they really are.
5. It's lonely at the top
6. The journey can be more intriguing than the destination.
7. Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth.
8. Happiness is simply the ability to give no fvcks. If you know how quickly people forget the dead, you will stop living to impress people.
9. Fear is an illusion.
10. Religion is a legendary fraud.

1) Regardless what position you are in life, there is always someone in a worse situation so be grateful
2)Life is all about balance- determine your priorities. Don't work too much and end up with failing health. Relax, work hard, and have fun as well
3) Assertiveness is an important skill to have
4) Money doesn't buy happiness (but it is still the single most important determinant of health)
5) Don't compare yourself to others, everyone is moving at their own pace
6) Everything has a time frame, you can't be it all, all the time. Everyone has their own time to shine so don't get upset if yours is over.
7)Put yourself first; it's not selfish to do so and life is much better that way
coolFake it until you make it; basically how you package and represent yourself is how others will view you

This is true.

I have seen many people who were worried about alot of things, running up and down to do this or that and they just died one day and that was the end.

We should learn to take life easy, there are a lot of things we can't control...let's do the ones we can and learn to take a chill pill when we need to.

Before now, when someone says 'stop and take a deep breath' I will be like 'what nonsense, let's keep moving!' but I've come to realize that it is necessary once in a while to really stop and take a deep breath...chill..

Nobody gets out of this life alive.

1) Physically attractive people will get respect, even if they did nothing to earn that respect.

2) Money is the only way to solve a great number of life's problems.

3) Heartbreak isn't a possibility, it's guaranteed.

4) Sooner or later you will have to stop caring. Not about your physical and mental health, but about other people. It doesn’t make sense to hang around those who aren't interested in cheering for you.

5) Teachers will love some students and won’t hesitate to criticize/insult others, and you might fall into the latter category (it happened to me). I wouldn't count on an explanation.

6) You have to honor yourself and your wishes. Nobody else will
(7) Apart from your family, nobody really cares
(cool Hardwork is overated, smart work is the bomb


God bless you.

Why do you call it diabolic. Do you also realise that someone from another religion might view yours as strange too. That is the way the Yoruba's worship and it works for them, respect it even if you don't want to indulge in it.
