Exactly! Work silently and let ur success do the talking.

If your conscience/mind has even the slightest doubts about something, DON'T do it. You will face issues down the road if you go ahead despite the doubt. Trust your gut feeling.

I have learnt to stay positive despite having all the reasons in the world to be negative.

I have also learnt that there is NO problem without a solution. God is the reason why I am so confident of that.

U r clearly not a christian

And u are?

Blackfire:




And u are?

I don't mean ill. It is just logic. Christ said "love those that hate you". U say the opposite. Christians are followers of Christ

Maj196:

That's not what he said. He said "disappear" not "Work silently and let ur success do the talking."

You are alone, no one is here with you.

Great OPPORTUNITY rarely comes at a convenient time. There are usually other things needing to be done first. And it is usually somehow camouflaged. And it usually knocks very faintly, so that if you are not aware you'll miss it. And it usually comes indirectly. WHY IS IT LIKE THIS?!

pedrilo:

Meaning?

Put God first
And don't get too attached to people

Actually it is not lonely at the top at all.
Am at the top. Everybody wants to be your friend. The problem is keeping them out.

How top are you? do u think earning below N500,000 is the top?. My brother it's empty their! just own 1 billion and come back and tell me. *Experienced*

Now you are talking.

To only trust God n put him first in all i do
To respect everyone no matter how poor,uneducated n unrighteous they maybe
To mind my business always n avoid conflicts
To keep my secrets to myself
To depend on no one
To love myself but love God most
To love n care for my family members cos nobody else really cares
To pray hard,work hard, talk less,listen more,have faith in God, strive to n believe that I can succeed in whatever I decide to do
To make sure I marry right cos marriage nowadays is like fairy tale
Finally to move on no matter how Bad I Feel

Don't trust too much, expectations hurt and never to put all your eggs in one basket.

Life itself is a scam, you can have your PhD ,marry ,hit money and other success and still die that day you are celebrating...

Just live In this world like a wayfarer, be good to your creator and his creations, take it simple and easy.

You were never born special (forget that b.s your parents did to feed your ego). You can only make yourself special!

habayinc:
1 : Never outshine your master 2 : so much depends on your reputation.. defend it all you have 3 : Despise free meal

With the level of hunger in the country your third advice is invalid!!!

xmanco42:
1) Don't let people praise/hail you unnecessary, they will stop one day thinking that they were doing you a favour. It make them look down on you.
have self confidence of your own.
2) don't force people to love you it make them hate you more. Give them space, compose yourself and show them that you are more matured. The love will come naturally.

Am with you

* You are not special ; anything you think you're someome somewhere has it better.
* Nobody really cares about you unless you're famous, rich or beautiful.
* even in the midst of our families, friends or colleagues deep within us we're still lonely.
* Don't tell people that can't offer any help your problems. The lesser you complain about your life the more people stay away from you.
* All of us are empty, most put up their best online to create the type of world they wish for which in reality they can't have.

I am probably quoting from satanic bible..
One of the 10 commandments

I'm at the top of my game and it is not lonely at all. It is not always about money.
As they say, if u developed the best mouse trap (the top), the world will beat a path to your door.

It's lonely at the top. Not everyone wants to be your friend, everyone wants to associate with you. Don't misunderstand what friend mean..

enshi:
one most important lesson i have learnt and that was in 2017... is that no man has monopoly on any woman's kitty. even when you are the most handsome and most wealthy she has met, as far as you are not there present with her at a time she may just be with another man who often that not is not up to your standards even in terms of the 'below the belt size' and believe me what i just wrote is including but not limited to married wives too.

and to this end, the saying "a woman is only yours when she is in your closet and you are there.


second lesson is that there is a thin line between life and death, love and hate, riches and poverty

Everybody in your game wants to be your FRIEND. They want to be like you, be around u, learn from u. Meanwhile all u want is some alone time. I wonder who came up with that stupid saying. Lonely at the top my ass.

Most times people who help change your destiny are not the ones you expected. Don't run down anyone to please another

The most crucial lesson I have learnt in life from experience
