What Lessons Have You Learnt In 2021 by Kalatium(m): 11:01am On Dec 31, 2021 |
This thread is a Sequel to this 2020 thread https://www.nairaland.com/6335485/what-lessons-learnt-2020 As the year runs out, I thought it wise to once again reflect on lessons we have leart so far this year. I believe that we live to learn and in learning we live. Here are 5 penned down leasons I became acquitted with this year. 1. Expect the best but prepare for the worst. Planning Is good but only up to a certain point because, more time than not, life does not go according to plan. Do make your plans, but keep in mind things will most likely develop differently than what you planned. As Mike Tyson once said " Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." You can't always get what you want no matter how you try. There are many things I tried to accomplish but no matter how I tried there are many challenges I kept facing. 2. Many people are too proud of whatever they think they have , belief or possess and tend to use this criteria to look down on others or fight them . We are proud of our ignorance, proud of our religion or denomination, proud of our tribe, proud of our socioeconomic status . These are things we did nothing to get. We were fortunate to have found ourself in such tribe, religion, socioeconomic status (poor, rich or middle class) etc. 3. The 80/20 rule: This is a principle that states that roughly 80% of results are generated from 20% of efforts. To explain this law further: • 20% of employees account for 80% of the companies success. • You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time . • You walk on 20% of your carpet 80% of the time. • You spend 80% of your time with only 20% of your friends. • 20% of Nairalanders deliver 80% of nairaland content. 4. People tend to remember more of your bad side that the good . You may do many good things but once you do bad, that is where you get heavy criticism irrespective of your past good deeds. You might have been helping someone consistently but the day you refuse, you are seen as lacking compassion or wicked. I think the human brain has a tendency to remember more bad things than good. I also think that's why bad news tend to get our attention more than good ones. 5. People always judge a book by it's cover. Within seconds of seeing you people have already judge you based on how you appear and project their thoughts on what you are like ,even before getting to know you.

1. To always believe in oneself 2. While believing in oneself, one need to keep updating and developing him/herself 3. To never look down on anyone 4. To show love and care to humans. I got to know this when I asked the Aboki man that I do buy water from about his sleep. The way he smiled while answering me tells me that we all are important. 5. Save and invest 6. To always pray for Nigeria bcus in so doing, you are praying for yourself because you are a Nigerian 7. Although alot of men insult women on the Internet space on a daily, don't take it too serious as a guy for there are good gals out there, if you find one, hold her tight. And finally, attachment is the cause of pain and joy 44 Likes 3 Shares |

Minding my business . I have become a member of observation committee . Especially here in Nairaland, any human being that will wake up and come to Nairaland to insult me, I won’t reply you, you are on your own. I also learnt Nairaland men hate women , they blame women in all their misfortunes. Yet every Saturday, they will take one to altar, crazy boys 36 Likes 1 Share |

That 1. You CANNOT please everybody! 2. Always do what Works well for you! If Jaguda always benefits you, do it. If Calmness always gives you an edge, adopt the attitude! Like me in 2021, Adopted a Ghost mode Lifestyle! Hardly on facebook, uninstalled my WhatsApp and faced my Business. Bad perhaps, but it is working for me! 18 Likes |

1. Make money, people don't care about your state of mind once the cash is around. 2. Science don't have all the answers, well they've tried to some extent to unravel most mystery but than there's more to our universe than what can be glean from the scientific world. 3. Three people you shouldn't argue with, someone in love, a moneybag and lastly Nigerian football fan Now I'm back from work. 9 Likes |
