Life has taught me so many things, But the most important of it is that; "Never should you depend on someone..."
*Share your own taught of life too*

Be patient. What you’re supposed to do, will eventually come with it. Work hard, and work towards something you love.

Everything means nothing...

No condition is permanent

Things don't always go as planned

I have learnt that human beings are wicked. The people who dine and wine with you will definitely kill you.

Honesty dsnt pay all the time. I am actually paying the price for being honest

I have learnt that all humans are inherently evil, selfish, and full of betrayals

Time waits for no one.

Those starting from the scratch with no generational wealth, OBOs too can use some of this

1. No one owes you anything

2. Anything you find yourself doing, do it with all your might and strength, in fact die on the line and commit it to God(if you believe)

3. Put yourself first, you are not selfish, people would choose themselves to live over you when it comes to life and death and LIFE DEFINING opportunities. Learnt this from my senior in uni, he said “The first Law of nature is self-preservation” . Fight for yourself and life .

4. Look around you, there are certain people you like because of certain qualities, pick those traits and emulate. Conversely, there are people you do not admire like that? What are those traits you do not like, avoid it like a plaque.

5. Nothing is promised, but let it be that you gave it your all to avoid ifs and buts.

6. Love is never enough. My mentor(CEO of one of the leading banks in Naija) told me that when he was choosing his wife, it was not a totally emotional decision, he looked for certain qualities after those boxes were ticked, he then asked himself if he likes the person enough to want to spend the rest of his life with her.

7. Keep working and keep believing(no matter your faith ) with the right set of skill, lucky stroke and time, your chance may come.

I think this should be the root of life's lessons.

You are mistaken. It's not everybody.

That's the mistake you make, to think some human are perfect angel. I put it to you again, all humans, including you and me are inherently evil.

The way you see yourself isn't the way I see myself. Perhaps you were raised by evildoers, and who knows whether the environment you live in is/was orchestrated by evil men. I guess that's why it's affecting your thinking and your personality at large.

Or do you intend seeing my type or staying with positive gems? Maybe I could book you a flight so that you'll see a different type of lifestyle that you haven't seen for years.

Go and read George Orwell 's Animal Farm and William Golding' s Lord of the Flies. Then after that go and read the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible. Then go to the Dictionary and check the meaning of the word 'inherent'

After that come back let's sit down and talk

Lol, pls tell me ur experience sir.

Tho i go with u.

Not to over trust yourself, thinking you are infallible.

1.Life is filled with too much pain and hypocrisy.
2.And the idea of God by the 3 Abrahamic religion is false.
3. It's hard to maintaining loving a spouse without the ability to provide comfort (I don't want to mention money)

It has no manual

Life is full of ups and down

There are no rules

Life is unfair get use to it

There is a tiny difference between support and manipulation

You are solely accountable for your happiness and your mistakes

Happy ever after does not apply to everyone, which brings us back to life been unfair

really working on number 4, but it is very hard. Especially cursing back at other drivers while driving.

posting...please wait

Something that I have done right and that has continuously worked for me is leveraging on the people around me. I am able to sight potentials and develop great relationships that propel me higher and higher.

Mind you, I don't kiss asses as I climb the ladder. People rather respect me for my views. Intelligent people always do.

I have few, high quality friends and develop good relationships with beneficial acquaintances.

The rest, I leave to God.

So what I have learnt basically is the act of leveraging.

Money is power.

However it’s not everything . Because power is not everything

What will be will be.

All is vanity except for GOD.

Stop pleasing people. "life said" it took me years before I adhered to it though...
