Family / Children Must Be Taught The Value Of Earning Money by Ebukadaniel007(m): 4:16pm On Jan 30, 2022
Raising a child isn’t easy, because there are a lot of things you’ll need to teach the child; good moral values, principles, discipline, self-control, etc. but above all, children must be taught what it means to earn money. Children can be spoiled; it’s quite understandable, but you shouldn’t stray too far beyond reasonable measures. It’s natural for parents to want to give their children the world and pamper them, but there should be a balance to it.
When raising a child, there are two things involved, basic necessities and wants of the child. As a parent, you must understand that your child’s needs are different from theirs wants – needs are very necessary for them to have, but want, that’s where earning comes to play. I’m not saying it’s wrong to gift your children expensive items, but it’s very important to think of the possible effect and challenges these negligible things could result to in the long run.
Have you encountered young children and teens with expensive phones? Or the latest and trendiest Dior outfit worth thousands of whatever currency. I’m not downplaying anyone for giving their children the “luxury life,” but if they get all the “toys” they want easily without breaking a sweat for it, then you’re not teaching them the value of money.

Romance / Successful Relationship Hacks For Couples by Ebukadaniel007(m): 1:29pm On Dec 26, 2021
Relationship involving two people in love is quite difficult to maintain, it takes work and will require you to learn how to tolerate and share with someone else. The goal of every relationship from the initial stage is for the relationship to work out and hopefully lead to a lifetime commitment, but things may not always go as planned; sometimes it works out, but if it doesn’t, you just have to move on. Like every other aspect of life, relationships has its own share of trial, tribulations and difficult moments, and overcoming these problems is a step closer to something beautiful.
One of the most common questions every couple are seeking answers to is, “how to maintain a successful relationship.” The answer is complicated and depends on the two individuals in the relationship, but there are a few standard points. The secret of maintaining a successful relationship is learning to pay attention to details. In relationship, no detail should be considered as little or insignificant. Below are some hacks that can help strengthen your relationship further.

1. Talking with baby’s voice
The problem with most couple is that they are way too mature and half the time they spend together they act and take things seriously. You can’t be an adult 24/7 when you’re with your boo or babe; where there are adults, faults are certain to be found. The whole idea of talking with baby’s voice is to imitate the lifestyle of babies, with babies you get pure and undiluted love where nothing is wrong or can go wrong. Talking with baby’s voice brings out that inner feeling of sincerity, and proves that you both are free and comfortable with each other.

2. Never forget memorable dates
For guys this may seem negligible or insignificant, but for ladies, this is beyond important and they will have your head on a spike if ever you dreamt of forgetting any of the dates you ought to be remembering; dates like birthdays, anniversaries, valentine and all sort. Now, the key here isn’t just to remember these dates alone but to also have something special planned out. Relationships last longer when you keep track of events, happenings and memories.

3. Periodic activities
The sole purpose of getting into a romantic relationship with someone is to have and share something wonderful with that special person. In relationship, every moment in which you spend together with your other half are meant to be special – every touch, every kiss, and even every time you both hold hands. But, relationship goes beyond romance; the major aspect which most people ignore is bonding. In relationship, you’re expected to be one with your partner, constantly in sync with each other. In order to bond with your partner, you both need to indulge yourselves in activities be it random or scheduled, it could be games or vacation or anything maybe. The goal here is to have an avenue where you both will spend time with each other doing something together and having something to look forward to; like a yearly family game.

4. Surprise gifting
Have you ever had someone gift you something even without asking, the joy that comes with surprised gifts isn’t talked about much. You happen to be out with your boyfriend or girlfriend maybe, and then
You realize that they are fixated at a particular item; could be a bag, dress, sneaker, phone, anything. Then you go back and get that item for them, “how’d you think they’ll react?” surprising your partner with gifts makes them feel loved, it makes them feel appreciated and cherished, therefore, igniting passion and increasing the intensity of the love flame in the relationship. If you haven’t tried it, you ought to.

Education / Joy Wouldn't Be Special If It Wasn't For Pain by Ebukadaniel007(m): 5:43pm On Jun 12, 2021
Few weeks back, a friend of mine was playing a song by 50 cent on his phone titled, “many men.” It got to a line where he said, “sunny days wouldn’t be special, if it wasn’t for rain…, joy wouldn’t feel so good, if it wasn’t for pain…” now, this got be wondering, could there be any truth to this, or maybe it’s some rapper trying to rhythm. Then I realize that in every success, every big break through, there is a certain kind of struggle story to it.

Kelvin is a 17 years old teenage boy, who for quite some time wanted a driver’s license. Few weeks before his driving test, he has been taking driving lessons and has been reading on several traffic signs and laws. So the glorious day arrived, he got into the car with his instructor and headed off to commence with the test. At the end of the test, kelvin was told he failed and won’t be issued any license. He went home sad – who wouldn’t?

Career / A Bad Day In The Office And How To Bounce Back by Ebukadaniel007(m): 1:49pm On Jun 06, 2021
1. Don’t Take It Personally
Bad days at work can be caused by a number of things — but if your bad day was set off by someone else’s negativity, don’t take it personally. If someone else was angry, upset, stressed. frustrated, or just plain mean, it’s important that you not internalize their actions or behavior. Don’t bottle up how a bad day made you feel. Communicating how you feel to someone else can help you work through how you’re feeling, and it may also help to get feedback and perspective from an outsider.



2. Shake It Off and Don’t Take It Home
When work sucks, it’s all too easy to bring our stress and unhappiness home with us. To shake off a bad day, leave work at work. Try to establish an end-of-the-workday routine that helps signal the official end of the day. That way, when things don’t go so great, your mind still gets to process that work is over — and now it’s time to go home, relax, and do something that makes you happy.


3. Do Something That Makes You Feel Great!
Put an end to your bad day by seeking out things you know make you feel empowered, confident, and happy. That might mean doing a yoga routine when you get home. Maybe you can grab your favorite book and a glass of red wine and treat yourself to a quiet evening in. Or if you’re extroverted, you may get your energy back by taking someone on a coffee date.

Just make sure you engage in healthy habits. You won’t bounce back from a bad day if you overindulge in food or alcohol, and having an hours-long TV binge likely won’t make you feel better. You need to bring yourself back up — not sedate yourself with activities that keep you sedentary and disengaged.

4. Vent or Rant if You Need To
And of course, sometimes you just need to vent and rant. That’s okay! Get it all out, but put a time limit on the complaint session. Moan and whine for 10 minutes. Then be done, move on, and do something that makes you happy.

5. Evaluate What Happened
Hopefully, one or more of these strategies can help you bounce back after a bad day at work. But before you move on and put everything behind you, take a moment to reflect on what didn’t go so great. If you can evaluate what went wrong, you can better understand how to avoid doing the same thing in the future.

This will help you be proactive, rather than reactive — and you may be able to prevent a bad day from derailing your week before it even happens.

Romance / 5 Signs Which Shows When Someone Loves You by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:50am On May 27, 2021
Love isn’t as straight forward as it seems; loving someone and expecting them to love you in return. Most times the feeling is mutual and the signs are quite obvious, but other times, not so much. There’s a possibility that you love a certain person, and you want to see if they love you in return. First, always trust your gut feelings as it’s there for a reason – plus, they never lie. But sadly, most people overthink the situation, you shouldn’t spend much time reminiscing on how many times he or she looked your direction in an evening.

The matter of the heart – love, should be allowed to develop naturally. Don’t rush or push something that isn’t meant to be; the only thing worse than being single is being in a relationship with the wrong person. Before jumping into conclusion, try studying that person for a while – you wouldn’t believe, but body language reviews a lot about a person’s feeling. Thankfully, some people are straightforward to read, while others might be a difficult challenge. Even the most stoic person is bound to show some interest in some little way. It all balls down to their body language as it will change when they are in the presence of someone they admire.

You don’t need to be a psychic to read an individual. When someone loves you, you may see them become clumsy or even shy when they are in your presence. They may stumble over their words and seem like they’re all thumbs when you walk into the room, some may go to the extent of freezing without any actual sense of reasoning – literally. Pay attention to these little clues because their body language is trying to tell you that their heart is leaping from their chest.

Remember those days of staring at the ceiling tearing the petals off a rose flower chanting, “He loves me, he love me not.” Well, thankfully there are other ways to know if someone loves you. Here are 5 signs that shows someone love you.

1. THEIR EYES ARE ALWAYS FIXED ON YOU
When someone loves you, they are always staring at you, watching your every move, always trying to steal a glance every now and then. You would notice how their eyes tends to follow you around the room, you may even catching them peeking at you – if they are continually scanning you from head to toe, then it can be considered as a sign that they are into you.

2. THEY ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS
Humans are quite inquisitive in nature; always trying to find out every detail about something they are interested in. likewise in love, it is natural to want to know more about the person you are in love with. Whenever you’re in their presence, they tend to ask a lot of questions about you, wanting to know your favorite color, favorite food, best choice of music, and so on. If they start asking questions about your plans for the future and what not, then it’s a clear indication that they want something much more than friendship. If the feeling is mutual, then it’s time to ask some questions in return.

Career / Procrastination Kills Dreams Before They Begin by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:44am On May 11, 2021
Every great achievement starts somewhere, every successful individual has a starting point; an initial idea which later becomes a gradual, continuous process until the goal has been reached. Our goals and dreams are endangered species, slowly going extinct because we keep postponing on when we start actualizing them – procrastination.

Procrastination is some false illness born into being by our imagination, because rather than conceding to our shortcomings, laziness, or failures, we’d rather play the procrastination card. This illusion and lack of motivation is sabotaging your potentials. When you can’t prioritize what you want – whether it’s to travel, exercise, advance in your career, start a business, or write a book, your dreams will pass you by in a flash without you achieving any.

The ready to use excuse for procrastinating is, “someday.” Who knows, “maybe someday I’ll write a book.” “Someday I’ll start selling my handmade bags on eBay.” After all right now, there are more pressing things that demands your immediate focus and attention, like you haven’t finished GOT – watching every single HBO max TV show ever created. As Tim Ferriss wrote in his New York Times best seller, the 4-Hour Workweek: “’someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.”

Family / The Measure Of Success As A Parent by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:34am On Mar 20, 2021
Parenting is a job that comes without any salary or wage, and yet, you are on the job working round the clock – 24/7 none stop. It is the duty of the parent to see to their children’s or ward’s needs, wants and desires, see that they are well fed and clothed, see that they are given the best of education – to the best of their capability. “Children are blessings from God,” but it is the parent duty to nurture that child to become useful to the society and themselves altogether.

Often times, most parent brag about how successful their parenting skills are. This got me wondering, how do you actually measure the success of a parent? Gold is measured in karat, temperature is measured in Celsius, length is measured in centimetre and weight is measured in kilogram. There is a S.I unit for every physical phenomenon in physics, but none for parenting – yet.

A good parent is one who strives to make decisions in the best interest of the child. Successful parenting is not about achieving perfection. A good parent doesn’t have to be perfect, no one is perfect – no child is perfect either…… But it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t work towards being perfect. First set high standard for yourself and then your children. Keeping this in mind is important when we set our expectations both for ourselves and our children.

Romance / 5 Signs To Look Out For Before Getting Into Marriage by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:33am On Feb 12, 2021
No relationship is perfect, both in the personal or business sphere, but a good relationship makes you feel secure, happy and respected. Every relationship starts from somewhere; it can be initiated by one or both parties involved. There are different types of relationship, but our main focus is the relationship of the heart.
Marriage is a relationship where two different beings are joined to become one soul – so to speak. Being married is about joining two lives together, not giving up one for another, therefore completing each other’s lapses. Marriage like every other relationships, takes hard work to strive, where both parties are willing to make it work; adapting to each other’s faults, moods and idiosyncrasies. Well, it takes two to tangle, so, whenever one party stops trying to make it work out, it slowly becomes toxic.
On the other hand, toxic relationship – these relationships metaphors into something that has the potential, if not corrected, to be extremely harmful to our well-being. This kind of relationship causes physical, emotional and psychological trauma which can lead to an abject state of confusion.
Do marriages become toxic? Yes… of course they do – if Romeo and Juliet were alive, I’m sure they would be swearing on each other by now. Marriage is a RELATIONSHIP, a SHIP built in relation to both parties in it; hence, needing two captains to sail the ship. Marriage is a commitment intended to last a lifetime – if or when eventually there is a storm, it needs to be faced head on; no time for breaks or time outs, both parties need to put in work in order to making it better.
“Speaking of better, instead of wondering if he/she is the BEST you can do, focus on making your marriage the BEST it can be.”
How do you know when you are ready for marriage? Well, that’s a billion dollars question with a penny to its answer. However, present that question to singles of nowadays and you’ll likely get the played out, “when you meet the right person, you’ll know.” I mean, that answer is so outdated and retarded. Successful marriages take more than being madly in love – so to speak – some prepared self-awareness is vital – take note!
Choosing a good partner can have a major impact on your well-being; not everyone would make a good spouse (or rather, a good spouse for you). You’ll want to look for certain characteristics that will benefit the relationship in the long run. Above all, you can’t be happy with someone else until you’re completely happy with yourself.
So, before going down on one knee or walk down the aisle – and perhaps saying “I do,” to your prince charming or maybe, your island princess. There are signs and pointers you might want to look out for. Well, I can only give you as much as five (5).
1. Control
This is one of many absurd things to happen in a relationship; your partner is not a toy you own. Relationships should be based on love, mutual respect and freedom. Total freedom is demanded in marriage – freedom to love and to be loved back accordingly without any restrictions to personal choices. Relationship is not a dictatorship setting where one party is subjected to a “yes sir” or “yes ma’am” type of love. “In relationships, your spouse’s opinions matters, suggestions are acceptable and choices should be respected.” Anything of the contrary, should be frowned at and not to be endorsed.

Culture / Who Do We Consider As Our Neighbor by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:39am On Jan 16, 2021
When you refer to someone as your neighbor, to a lame man it simply means ‘a person living next door’….. But the true meaning of neighbor is far beyond human reasoning. In a world filled with lots of tribal, ethnic, religious and racial sentiments, who do we consider as our neighbors? The one who laughs with you but deep down wishes you evil, your compatriots who in a foreign land sell you for twelve pieces of silver? In this context, your neighbor is that person who comes to your aid in time of need; regardless of origin, race or religion.
The world has been deprived of peace and harmony because we don’t recognize who our neighbors are: living together means accepting differences and respecting others, as well as living in a peaceful and united way. On a daily basis, the headlines on most news are mostly of racial killings and religious executions. The recent killing of late George Floyd in the United States is proving that we as humans don’t know what it takes to build a neighborhood - a neighborhood without conflicts, a neighborhood with diverse culture where peace reigns, a neighborhood where all race can live in peace without fear of segregation.
Neighborhood is a special kind of family; not related by blood, but by societal bond. A bond which builds and grows with time, this form of family is closest in times of distress. You may not notice your closeness or fondness with your neighbor until you relocate – “you’ll never know what you have until you lose it.”

Romance / 5 Things To Try If Falling Out Of Love by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:54am On Dec 06, 2020
“Love is a beautiful thing.” Falling in love feels magical; being with the right person that makes you happy. Waking up every morning, knowing there is someone who loves and cherishes you – someone who places you above everyone and anything. With time, relationship evolves, and so does the feeling of love you have for your partner as you both grow and change. Just as in life, there are different stages to a relationship; you can’t compare your new relationship to couples who have been together for years.
Truth be told, it takes time to build a successful relationship. No matter what stories you’ve heard, no passionate and loving relationship happens overnight – well, except in movies and fairy novels. “Love is a journey, which takes two willing parties to embark on.” People usually fall out of love when one party isn’t willing to grow along with the other partner.
In fact, it is natural for couples to transition from being madly in love to slightly falling out of love. Long-term couples often go through life changes together, and those changes may affect them in different ways. Sometimes, those experiences can bring them closer together, but other times they can create distance between them.
When you’re madly in love with someone, you will never want to know what it’ll be like falling out of love with that person, but it can happen. Most times, it is quite difficult to tell when you’re falling out of love, while other times the signs are very glaring to see. Here are five things to try when falling out of love with your partner.
Prioritize one another: for some reasons, our love life seems to take a dive because we overlook the little things. Neglecting your partner with work as a shield of an excuse is very wrong and shouldn’t be justified. In a relationship, both parties need to create time to spend with each other – physical presence is essential for the both of you to bond with each other; go for dates every once in a while, see a movie together, hang out and take walks in the park together. These actions will show that you care and cherish each other, while creating a strong bond between you two.

Family / Our Friends Reflects Our Personalities by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:47am On Nov 22, 2020
Friendship is a relationship binding two or more people with similar interests, ideas and thoughts. We make friends just to fit into society. When we were younger, we were most likely warned by our parents to be mindful of the type of company we keep. They said this in reference to the way society would judge us in accordance to our friends, in addition to the influence they would have upon us. There is a popular saying; “birds of the same feather flocks together,” meaning the friends we keep reflects our personality. Our personalities are molded by different situations and associations such as parents, friends and colleagues. The image portrayed by these associations gradually rubs off on us, resulting in some little similarities between us and the people we associate with.

“A mirror reflects a man’s face but what he is really like is shown by the type of friends he keeps.” The simple fact of life is we become like those with whom we associate with. The type of people around you speaks highly of your values and what you stand for. Friendships, tends to give us a sense of belonging: we feed off of each other’s energies, thoughts, dreams and even differences which plays a distinctive role in shaping our identities.

Hand sanitizer is a supplement or alternative to hand washing with soap and water, when it comes to preventing infectious diseases like COVID-19; nothing beats the old-fashioned hand washing.
But if water and soap aren’t available, your next best option according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is to use an alcohol based sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent of alcohol.
Unless you have already stock-piled or bought enough hand sanitizers, because it will be very difficult to purchase right now. Due to the fast spreading Corona virus, most retailers can’t keep up with the demand for hand sanitizers.
According to Dr. Rishi Desai, the chief medical officer of Osmosis, and a former epidemic intelligence service officer in the division for viral diseases at the CDC, says that hand sanitizer will kill 99.9 percent of germs after 60 seconds.
What you’ll need:
· 3/4 cup of isopropyl or rubbing alcohol (99 percent).
· 1/4 cup of Aloe Vera Gel (to help your hands smooth and counteract the harshness of the alcohol.
· 10 drops of essential oil.
Directions
· Pour all ingredients into a bowl, ideally one with a pouring spout like a glass measuring container.
· Mix with a spoon and then beat with a whisk to turn the sanitizer into a gel.
· Pour the ingredients into an empty bottle for easy use, and label it “hand sanitizer.”

Career / Decision Making Is Part Of Our Daily Life by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:27am On Nov 15, 2020
The most interesting thing about life is our freedom to making decisions, we get to choose when to act and when not to. These decisions we make can affect us greatly; both positively and negatively. The decision making starts from as soon as we wake – from deciding to take a bath, deciding to eat, deciding what to wear and so on. Every decision matters, even small decisions can change our lives; every action we take is a decision not to take another. Every single decision we made in the past, helped shape our lives up till this very day.
There is always a chain of events associated with everything that we do; this chain of events will greatly determine our decisions. The bigger the decision, the more life changing the chain of events will be. Take for instance, the decision to get married or who you get married to – after this decision has been made, there is no going back. Other decision may seem small or insignificant, but in the long run may be the decision that determines the outcome of our lives.
Decision making is a huge part of humanity; it can either propel you forward and into success or drag you backwards and maybe destroy your personal values. Each decision we make, either good or bad, are part of the maturity process. The worst thing a person can do is not to make decisions, because the regret of not having to have decided will torment you. Constantly making decisions will boost our mental development and sense of judgment, making us more independent on ourselves and self-reliance. The obvious difference between a child and an adult is the ability of an adult to be more diverse and clinical in making decisions. A child makes decisions based on wants, but a good decision should be based on necessity.

Career / Relationship Is Golden And Can Be A Ladder To Success by Ebukadaniel007(m): 1:15am On Oct 31, 2020
The concept of building a successful business empire is based around your personal interactions with people, every business needs people to strive; either as employees or the end consumer. No man is an island and by so needs others to survive. Relationship according to the oxford dictionary is “the way two or more people are connected,” with emphasis to ‘connection’. A good relationship if utilized properly can be a ladder to achieving success and can also be a great business strategy.
**practical illustration**
There was a particular young man who wrote a book and decided to launch the book on his birthday. He had no money and was left with the choice of seeking help from a rich man in his community. He made a visit to the rich man’s home and after they had exchanged pleasantries, he told his host what brought him.
The rich man told him to take out a piece of paper and a pen. He said, “I will give you a test. If you pass it then I’ll help you and if you fail, I’ll also still help you.” The rich man then asked him to write down names of 10 people he knew that would give him ten thousand naira each for his book during the launch. Surprisingly, the man could not write down even three names.
The moral of the story is thus, ‘you need people!!!’ plain and simple. In every aspect of life you choose to follow, you’ll need people to push you up the ladder. Even as a blogger, you’ll need audience to read your blog post and every other cabbage you post. Who are these audiences? They are people who read and subscribe to the ideas which you share – they don’t just up and appear; you’ll have to build your audience steadily. Before you can attain your desired height, you may need an initial audience; people close to you on a personal level. These people are the ones who share their findings to other close friends, who then do the same until your network of audience broadens.
It isn’t enough to have talents and skills; you must understand the power of building valuable relationships, there are heights and opportunities you’ll never attain if you don’t understand the power of a valuable relationship – who you know in life matters a lot. Many of us have talent, but lack a cup bearer to tell the king that there is a joseph who can interpret dreams. Sometimes, all it takes is just a simple recommendation to change your story.

Career / Self-confidence Can Only Be Achieved By Facing Your Fears by Ebukadaniel007(m): 8:54pm On Oct 08, 2020
Self-confidence is the belief you have in yourself, the ability to trust in your abilities; gradually building up self-esteem. Self-confidence is a slow process which we learn to utilize our fears – no one truly overcomes fear, instead we learn to control it (topic for another post). Self-confidence is built by exposure to daily struggles and difficulties, these difficulties shapes us to our much-more matured self-i.e. the confident version of ourselves – moving from your naïve self-1.0, to your confident self-2.0. Self-confidence leads to mental growth, which in turn boosts your self-esteem.

While fear on the other hand, is an emotional threat of what’s known and sometimes unknown to us. As humans, fear is inevitable but we shouldn’t let the fear control us. Fear is like a brick wall standing between us and being confident, the only way to get to being confident is through the brick wall (fear). It’s like hitting the nail on the head knowing fully well that it may just strike your fingers – the fear of striking your fingers must first be overcome before you can actually hit the nail confidently.

The process of facing your fears is called exposure. Exposure is gradually and repeatedly going through feared situations until you feel less anxious. Exposure is not dangerous and won’t make the fear worsen, instead it gives you a sense of believe in yourself, boosting your confidence from zero to a certain increased amount.

Doing something for the first time comes with a certain amount of fear, don’t wait until the fear is gone – the easiest way to gain confidence is, well….just do it. As Lee Ann Womack says, “When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, choose to dance. The single most important thing you can do to build self-confidence, is to go ahead and do what you fear.” Take risk and set out to do what your heart desires, if your heart wants something, no fear should stop you.

Education / Corruption Is A Result Of Bad Upbringing by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:34pm On Aug 01, 2020
There is a popular saying, “charity begins at home,” a child who has being taught good moral values, will always abide by those values. As a parent it is your duty to correct and scold your child “if” and “when” necessary, overlooking your child’s flaws won’t help in anyway at all. For a child who steals and bully other children at a very young age, what will become of that child when he or she gets older? Even the bible says “spare the rod and spoil the child,” no child is too little or too big to be corrected, continuous displays of such bad character will turn into a habit. When I hear people say “the government system is corrupt,” the question here is, what kind of values were they taught as a child? Whatever you teach your child, that is exactly what he or she will exhibit in any area of life they find themselves in, no matter the level or position, because the seed of corruption is a part of them already. Corruption is not as a result of a failed government system, but as a result of failed parenting, obviously you can’t give what you don’t have.

Romance / Causes And Signs Of A Toxic Relationship by Ebukadaniel007(m): 1:33am On Jul 19, 2020
Many toxic relationship habits are baked into our culture and we end up accepting them as normal. The idea of toxic relationship gets thrown around a lot, but what exactly is a toxic relationship? By definition, a toxic relationship is a relationship characterized by behaviors on the part of the toxic partner that are emotionally and, not infrequently, physically damaging to their partner. A toxic relationship is characterized by insecurity, self-centeredness, dominance and control.
Causes and signs of a toxic in a relationship
There are several causes and signs of a toxic relationship, which can be inter-woven i.e. can be used to replace each other.
Lack of support
In a relationship where your goals, dreams and decision aren’t being supported by your partner can be considered to be toxic. In an ideal relationship setting, your partner should be your backbone and support you in all endeavors.
Healthy relationships are based on a mutual desire to see each succeed in life, but when things turn toxic, every achievement becomes a competition.
Toxic communication
Communication is important in having a loving and lasting relationship, but when that communication becomes toxic, every other thing falls apart.
Instead of treating each with kindness, most of your conversations are filled with sarcasm, criticism and hostility which may lead to both of you avoiding talking to each other.
Jealousy
While it is normal to experience jealousy from time to time, but it can become an issue if you can’t get yourself to think or feel positively about your partner.

Family / Children Too Deserves Respect by Ebukadaniel007(m): 12:58am On Jul 19, 2020
I firmly believe respect is earned, regardless of people’s age; it should be deemed fit that age is just a number. What you throw at people is exactly what you will get in return; don’t expect a thank you from people after disrespecting them. Respect is a two way street that goes both ways – it’s like a farmer who sows maize and when harvest comes, he will also reap maize. There is no two way about it, what goes around comes back around.
I feel respect is greatly over-rated in Africa and some part of Asia (like Nigeria, Ghana, India, etc.) or at least misunderstood. Respect is treated like something that should be offered up with contrite spirit to those who are elderly to us.
“Respect your children.” That’s not something you hear every day, but it’s something I have been pondering about lately. There is a common saying, “treat others the way you want to be treated.” It applies to more than our friends, siblings, parents and some random stranger…. It also applies to our children too.

Career / The Biggest Dreams Are The Craziest by Ebukadaniel007(m): 1:39am On Jul 16, 2020
I’m one who actually believes “dreams are part of the process to success, and the biggest dreams are usually the craziest one.” Dreaming alone isn’t enough, but do you believe in your dreams? Dreams are possible foresight of what the future may look like, some may seem possible and common; while others may seem impossible and crazy (that is true vision). The impossible is always termed as crazy, but when actualized becomes remarkable.
A few hundred years ago, most people thought that humans would never fly. How could people fly without wings? The whole idea of flying seemed ‘crazy’ and dangerous – with emphasis on “crazy”. In December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the impossible by inventing the first plane – well, after so many trials. Before the invention of planes, would it had made any sense saying one day humans will fly in an object called plane, obviously no one would want to listen to that. Planes were invented because two brothers had a crazy idea; they made sense out of the craziness which turned out to be their greatest achievement.
“it takes a crazy idea to change the world positively,” in a sane setting it is quite impossible to converse with people outside your region – you’ll need to walk for hours, or maybe days to reach the person in question. All these have being made easy, because someone had a crazy dream of communicating with the world, thereby inventing telephone and the internet. “Craziness” just like “anger” can be channeled into doing something positive; no level of insanity is lost, it all depends on what you make of it.

Education / Forgiveness Is A Virtue That Heals All Wounds by Ebukadaniel007(m): 1:29am On Jul 16, 2020
Psychologists generally defines forgiveness as a conscious, intentional decision to release feelings of resentment towards a person or group of people who has wronged and harmed you one way or the other, regardless of whether they deserve your forgiveness or not. Forgiveness is letting go totally, giving up your rights to hurt someone for hurting you first, letting go of anger and past transgressions to be at peace with both yourself and the person who wronged you.
Forgiveness is a choice, many people think forgiveness is an emotion – something you either feel or you don’t. forgiveness is an act of will, a choice; choosing not to hold an offence against someone, choosing not to dwell on the offence or continue to replay it in your thoughts, choosing not to keep record or keep score of past transgressions.
Forgiveness doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting – it’s simply moving on without anger or resentment. Suppose, for example, someone sets your favorite cloth on fire sometime last month. Although you forgive the perpetrator, it’s unlikely you will forget who set the fire. The question is, what do you feel when you remember the incident? There shouldn’t be any trace of hatred, if there is; it means you haven’t truly forgiven. On the other hand, if you tell someone, “I can forgive, but I can’t forget,” examine yourself. What you really might be saying is, “I choose not to forgive,” – forgiving someone and still intentionally holding on to the grudge isn’t forgiveness.
