How well do you know your ability?
Self discovery brings out the right attitude.
Do you know the reason why a Goat or Antelope won't take on a Lion , because it knows it won't win ..

Basic instinct of a zebra would be to run once it sees a lion and basic instinct of a lion would be to chase because Zebra is a Food grin ...

So it is all about the weapon ..... A zebra would never run from a lion if it also has bigger nails, massive body , sharp tooth, ....

An adult lion weigh 250kg ... that's five bags of rice or five bags of cement , imagine someone slamming five bags of rice on you at a pounce ... you will be confused and faint ...

If not for God that asked us to love each other as we love ourselves , we ain't different from animals .... Planet earth is a jungle forget about the skyscrapers and the jets .... if you slack, you will get killed !

its capitalism!

Do not render any sort of help to any poor person in Nigeria because they always turn around to bite you when they are on their feet.

You can never reap reward of doing good by giving with expectations.

It seems you didn't format it to any of the usual paper sizes of 5 x 8, 5.5 x 8.5 and 6 x 9 before you went on to convert it.

I am guessing you just converted it straight with the default page size of A4 word document you typed your content with. You need to format the kindle version too to any of the above listed trim sizes.

Don't convert it to mobi cuz some devices won't be able to read your book and you will miss out of those potential customers whose devices can't read mobi format. Doc format is better cuz every device can read doc format.

Simply upload the doc format of the 5 x 8, 5.5 x8.5 or 6 x 9" trim size for your kindle ( any one of your choice). And more so, change your font to Georgia, size 12 and 1.5 spacing. That should give you 90 to 100 pages for the kindle version.

you're far too kind bro thanks i've uploaded the paperback version however there's something i discovered during the formatting after i've this issue.
here's it
when choosing the default size i used 5.39 by 7.91 and zero for the inside outside button and top margin respectively.
however, here's what i discovered when you change the page orientation from potrait to landscape the page count increases by almost 20 however the document did not scatter and everything look good.
have you had similar experience?

The increase was as a result of the trip size you used. That's normal. Smaller trim size helps increase your book pages while bigger trim size decrease it.

Choosing the right trim size depends on your word counts. So, if you know your word count is not that much maybe 10k to 15k words, it is usually good sticking to the 5 x 8" trim size and 5.5 x 8.5" or 6 x 9" for word counts of 16k and above.

So, the increased in the number of your pages wasn't unusual. It is because you formatted the book with a small trim size. Definietly your pages will increase.

1. Maintain your weight whilst your young. Not watching your weight will give you series of problem later on in life. Exercise and eat properly.

2. Dont be with someone who’s family do not like you. It is an everlasting battle that you will eventually lose.

3. You will not gain respect trying to please everyone. Stand up for yourself and always speak your mind.

4. Only share things when you are established. People are envious and will try to destroy your plans if you share too quickly.

5. Listen more than you talk.

6. Social skills are paramount for getting further in life. You must learn how to make solid connections.

7. Elders do not know it best

8. Confidence is more valuable than looks

9. Your family doesn’t always want the best for you

10. No one will values you until you hit it big.

11. Be careful with alcohol. It is addictive and very accessible, probably the worst drug out there.

These are just some of mine, feel free to contribute some of yours.
Very apt! This is pure street-level
sense. wink

1) Never look down on anybody.

2) Never trust nobody until the
deal is sealed.

1. Lions are called the king of the jungle because Tigers (and other stronger formidable predators) do not live in the jungle. In other words, the people who look down on you do so because you haven't assumed your throne and shine in your glory. Go be a king in your domain.

2. Resurrect your inner b!tch. The world is a jungle, and being Mr nice guy will not take you far. The unrelenting you are to exhume your inner b!itch, the farther you go.

3. Formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune. True life's education is experienced outside the classroom. know the difference between to be schooled and to be educated.

4. Being harmless and incapable of inflicting harm is not a virtue. It is a weakness. The ability to inflict an untold amount of harm, but chooses not to, is virtous.

5. If they stand behind you protect them. If they stand beside you, respect them. But if they stand against you, destroy them.

6. Be aware of your vices, and do not let it destroy your life. A typical vice for men is philandering, negative aggression, greed, alcoholism, etc. For women, it is prostitution, chaos, vindictiveness, narcissism, and dissatisfaction.

7. The antidote to suffering in life is responsibility. pursue what is worth dying for, and every other suffering you pass through shall be insignificant.

8. Never be afraid to walk alone, instead be afraid to walk mindlessly with the crowd. Your mind can be your greatest asset, and your greatest liability, depending on if you nourish it well. Be a solitary Tiger if needed, not a mindless sheep.

9. As a man, your superpower lies in being masculine, and for women, being feminine. Understand what this means and accentuate it to the best of your ability.

10. The ability to express yourself eloquently is power. The power of speech can move mountains, bring down standing armies, and give meaning to life. Be eloquent. The content of your speech speaks more about the speaker, as opposed to the subject. The sophisticatedness of your mind is expressed through the content of your words.

11. The weaker you are, the more fight you will get into. The stronger you are, the less fight you will get into either. To thrive is to be tough.

12. Anyone that loves you in the truest meaning of love is your family. Love unites people not blood, though love coming from blood relation is thicker. To understand the true meaning of love, substitute the word ''love'' with sacrifice. Love without sacrifice is not love, it is infatuation.

13. the natural mandate is that anything valuable comes from the inside. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If it is broken by an inner force, life begins. Do not let external forces suppress your inner voice.

14. Approach every human relationship and connections with a sense of mutualism, conversely, do not entangle with someone who does not understand this timeless rules. Mutualism is growth, parasitism is death. The tree provides shelter for the bird to nest, and the birds help the tree by spreading its seeds to fertile ground, to germinate.

15. The gentle walk of a tiger is not foolishness, but strategic. In life, know when to give up, preserver, and what deserves your energy and resources, to avoid falling deep into the "sunk cost effect".

16. Have boundaries. A hen is harmless, but as soon as it hatches, its mouth used for eating becomes a weapon to defend and protects it chick, regardless of the aggressor's size.

17. At the very basic, humans are animals. Our behaviors are merely a reflection of our social conditioning (religion, culture, tradition, etc). Know how to alternate between your animalistic nature and your social conditioning to advance in life. For example, understand what attracts the opposite sex from an animalistic perspective to be successful in the mating game, and know how to employ the proceeds of your social conditioning (honesty, civility, professionalism, etc) to get ahead.

18. Do not go through life, but 'grow' through life. Your daily activities should compound into something bigger. Just as a seed becomes a tree, and forest in time, your life should follow the same path. Time is the only precious thing you have. Sadly, most people learn this too late.

19. In this capitalistic world, money is your best friend. Try to make enough of it. You only live once, so live it well.

20. Your health is paramount. You are what you eat, so eat healthily. The surest way to go ahead in life is to look good. Humans are wired to treat good looking people well, and it is a sure way to pass down your gene, as the opposite sex will find you attractive. Attraction is a powerful force, and eating healthy with proper exercise can give you that, regardless of your financial status.

1. Lions are called the king of the jungle because Tigers (and other stronger formidable predators) do not live in the jungle. In other words, the people who look down on you do so because you haven't assumed your throne and shine in your glory. Go be a king in your domain.

2. Resurrect your inner b!tch. The world is a jungle, and being Mr nice guy will not take you far. The unrelenting you are to exhume your inner b!itch, the farther you go.

3. Formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune. True life's education is experienced outside the classroom. know the difference between to be schooled and to be educated.

4. Being harmless and incapable of inflicting harm is not a virtue. It is a weakness. The ability to inflict an untold amount of harm, but chooses not to, is virtous.

5. If they stand behind you protect them. If they stand beside you, respect them. But if they stand against you, destroy them.

6. Be aware of your vices, and do not let it destroy your life. A typical vice for men is philandering, negative aggression, greed, alcoholism, etc. For women, it is prostitution, chaos, vindictiveness, narcissism, and dissatisfaction.

7. The antidote to suffering in life is responsibility. pursue what is worth dying for, and every other suffering you pass through shall be insignificant.

8. Never be afraid to walk alone, instead be afraid to walk mindlessly with the crowd. Your mind can be your greatest asset, and your greatest liability, depending on if you nourish it well. Be a solitary Tiger if needed, not a mindless sheep.

9. As a man, your superpower lies in being masculine, and for women, being feminine. Understand what this means and accentuate it to the best of your ability.

10. The ability to express yourself eloquently is power. The power of speech can move mountains, bring down standing armies, and give meaning to life. Be eloquent. The content of your speech speaks more about the speaker, as opposed to the subject. The sophisticatedness of your mind is expressed through the content of your words.

11. The weaker you are, the more fight you will get into. The stronger you are, the less fight you will get into either. To thrive is to be tough.

12. Anyone that loves you in the truest meaning of love is your family. Love unites people not blood, though love coming from blood relation is thicker. To understand the true meaning of love, substitute the word ''love'' with sacrifice. Love without sacrifice is not love, it is infatuation.

13. the natural mandate is that anything valuable comes from the inside. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If it is broken by an inner force, life begins. Do not let external forces suppress your inner voice.

14. Approach every human relationship and connections with a sense of mutualism, conversely, do not entangle with someone who does not understand this timeless rules. Mutualism is growth, parasitism is death. The tree provides shelter for the bird to nest, and the birds help the tree by spreading its seeds to fertile ground, to germinate.

15. The gentle walk of a tiger is not foolishness, but strategic. In life, know when to give up, preserver, and what deserves your energy and resources, to avoid falling deep into the "sunk cost effect".

16. Have boundaries. A hen is harmless, but as soon as it hatches, its mouth used for eating becomes a weapon to defend and protects it chick, regardless of the aggressor's size.

17. At the very basic, humans are animals. Our behaviors are merely a reflection of our social conditioning (religion, culture, tradition, etc). Know how to alternate between your animalistic nature and your social conditioning to advance in life. For example, understand what attracts the opposite sex from an animalistic perspective to be successful in the mating game, and know how to employ the proceeds of your social conditioning (honesty, civility, professionalism, etc) to get ahead.

18. Do not go through life, but 'grow' through life. Your daily activities should compound into something bigger. Just as a seed becomes a tree, and forest in time, your life should follow the same path. Time is the only precious thing you have. Sadly, most people learn this too late.

19. In this capitalistic world, money is your best friend. Try to make enough of it. You only live once, so live it well.

20. Your health is paramount. You are what you eat, so eat healthily. The surest way to go ahead in life is to look good. Humans are wired to treat good looking people well, and it is a sure way to pass down your gene, as the opposite sex will find you attractive. Attraction is a powerful force, and eating healthy with proper exercise can give you that, regardless of your financial status.
