1. Not going after your dreams: Simple as this may sound, this is the most common mistake we make every day our life.We conceive a lot of stuff, a thousand plans go on in our mind but do we really get down to working on them…most often than not….then how do we really expect them to come true ? 2. Doing something you hate everyday: Nothing can be more mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting than to force yourself to do things you would rather not. It could be a dull job, pursuing the wrong career, getting the wrong degrees, or dating the wrong people.Once you free yourself of the un-necessary, you would find time and energy to focus on the really important and meaningful things in life. 3. Living in the could have been’s and the could not’s: Without realizing we spend a major portion of our time and thoughts thinking about and wondering of things from the past, our past failures, bad experiences, nasty words or rude people. Is it really worth to spend precious time thinking about these people and situations or past failures that cannot be amended? Let go, breathe, today is a new day! 4. Saying things you do not really mean: Isn’t there enough complexity in our lives already that we need to add to it by saying things we have no intent to follow. Imagine how simple and easy life would be if we just said what we truly , genuinly felt without giving a hoot what the world thinks of it.Being vulnerable is attractive, it speaks volumes of your genuinty and is a symbol of inner strength not weakness. 5. Playing it too safe: Settling into a comfortable lifestyle is too easy (and feels good too!) but the things that add real meaning to life lie beyond this zone.Taking risks big or small, persuading your dreams, being more creative are just some examples. Figure out your own! 6. Building your life around the Should’s: One of the most fatal words to avoid is ‘should’, ‘I should get this degree’, ‘I should be working at this level’, ‘I should get married now’, ‘I should be starting a family now’, ‘I should be doing this type of work’ and the list goes on…. we let the should’s govern our life and our senses. But the truth is,till our goals do not match with our core inner values we would never succeed in getting any producitve results.It is important to chose the right goals that define the real us and follow our own paths rather than the ones showed to us by others if we want to reach any where worth going! 7. Losing out on the Real You: Time changes everything and sometimes people too but whatever the reason, sometimes it is important to just hold on to your true self and not get carried away by whats happening in the world around.No matter how bitter our experiences, if we can still manage to retain our innate sweetness, we can stand out in the crowd and bring cheer and joy in our own life as well as that of others.If you refuse to give up your faith in the good things in life, they will happen to you for sure, just dont give up! 8.Not having a Plan: Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert’s in his book, “Stumbling on Happiness.” stated that the greatest achievement of the human brain is its ability to imagine objects and episodes that do not exist in the realm of the real.” Life has become so mechanical and process oriented that to fit in, we need to be organized and always on your toes. Even to enjoy a holiday, we need to plan weeks , sometimes months in advance to ensure all the bookings are in place then how can we expect to achieve our goals without a time specific plan in place. Write to the minuscutest detail everythning you need to do and achieve and detail out each step of how you plan to go about it, if you really want to see some results and be successful! 9. Missing out on the bigger picture: Sometimes we get so overwhelemed by whatever is happening in the moment and our long list of To Do’s that we lose out on the main goals. It is therefore a good practise to occasionally review ourselves in view of themain objectives we want to ahcieve in life and how close or far we are from themor whether we are on the path towards achieving them or have been deviated. These small occasional checks make sure we are on the right track. 10. Ignoring your health. Add urz... Source: www.theeurekalife.com/12%EF%BB%BF-biggest-life-mistakes-we-all-make/ |
We can make wrong assumptions about almost anything in life. Sometimes we make mistakes from them, sometimes they misguide us and sometimes we can even use them as an excuse. They can be misleading or sometimes even irrational. There are assumptions about anything from work ethics, mathematics and even relationships and happiness. Here are fifty of the most common misassumptions. Perhaps you have heard these or even said some yourself. 1.Just ignore it the problem will go away. 2. The person next to me is better off! 3.I have enough time for exam, I will start studying tomorrow. 4.I am being perfectly logical and fair and everyone that disagrees with me is just plain stupid. 5.They have the right to be loved. 6.Quick to attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance. 7.My moral system is the social norm, if you don’t agree with me, something is wrong with you. 8.Rational persuasions are persuasive. 9.Being in a relationship gives you the right of ownership of your partner. 10.Things will work out. 11.They have sufficient informational for a rational decision. 12.What is important to them is as important to others. 13.The grass is greener on the other side. 14.I can get a partner as long as I’m smart and attractive and friendly. 15.It will not happen to me. One day, they will be wrong. 16.There are no lessons to be learned from history. 17.We all believe to be a bit smarter than somebody else, specially when our ego is involved. 18.We are free and we can be completely free, in thinking, behavior and actions… 19.The reward comes later. 20.I am not appreciated because no one has told me recently. 21.The harder you chase, the closer you get. 22.You can balance things by taking revenge. 23.Having more money can make them happy forever. 24.Having fun costs money. 25.I am important and I am right. 26.Everything happens for a reason. 27.Finding your true self is an on-going and endless process. 28.Any assumption made is wrong. 29.Love is respite to every other problem in life. 30.If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. 31.Society watches you closely on whatever you do. 32.Good times will eventually come. 33.If I do this, people will think I am wrong. 34.All eyes are on you. 35.We can own something out there. 36.We all are here to conquer something. 37.Everyone is having an affair or cheating on their partner. 38.We are making it up as we go along, some better than others. 39.People are always completely to blame for their own actions regardless of the situation. 40.You can fake it to make it, when there is someone else who will readily do it with more talent. 41.My girlfriend splits up with me. ‘Ah, good thing I didn’t marry her and end up in a divorce. 42.My wife splits up with me. ‘Ah, good thing we don’t have children yet. Could have been far more stickier. 43.My wife who I have children with splits up with me. ‘Ah, good thing I’m not too old to remain single for the rest of my life. 44.Everyone else is paying close attention to everything you do and judging you for it. 45.They have been perfectly clear, so the onus of understanding is on the listener. 46.Someone else will take responsibility. 47.People often attribute the behavior of others to personality, while justifying their own behavior. 48.We know what we’re talking about. 49.Data is normally distributed. 50.Functions are continuous.

''Reactions have continued to trail the reversal of the University status given to the Alvan Ikoku College of Education Owerri by the Federal Government. During a plenary session of the Imo State House of Assembly, the members appealed to the Federal Government not to shortchange the school’s university status by the immediate past government of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan knowing well that the institution has all it takes to be a university. Speaking on a motion moved by a member representing Ikeduru State Constituency and Chairman House Committee on Education, Uche Oguwuike, the motion rejected the move by the Federal Government to reverse the status of the University of Education to a College of Education. The motion which was supported by majority of the state lawmakers also mandated the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, to lead a delegation to interface with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government and the Federal Ministry of Education to see how the issue could be resolved soon and ensure that the school maintains its university status''. The staff and students of Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri, taking to the streets of Owerri, Imo State, on Monday, last week, to protest the alleged plan, by Buhari administration, to revert the university to its previous status of college of education, along with others like Adeyemi University of Education, Ondo, Federal University of Education, Kano and Federal University of Education, Zaria, made an interesting reading. So also the reactions generated by the rumour. While members of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) of Federal University of Education, Kano, and the university’s branch of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), led by its chairman, Dr. Abubakar Sadiq Haruna, accused the former provosts of the four former colleges of education of conniving with some government officials in Buhari administration to poison the President’s mind into reverting the universities to their former status, Mrs. Ukachi Wachukwu, Chair of ASUU, Alvan Ikoku chapter, vowed that all trade unions in the school, including students and staff, would resist the purported plan to downgrade the university status of Alvan. There’s no doubt that the elevation of these four old colleges of education to university status is well-thought-out, even if mixed with a tinge of politics, given its belated approval, by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of President Goodluck Jonathan administration, towards its twilight days, perhaps, for fear that Buhari administration may not be well-disposed to doing so if the decision is left in its hand. But that should not take anything away from the wisdom embedded in that decision, something that has been hailed by an erudite scholar, education technocrat like Prof. Peter Okebukola, former Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC) who posited that the institutions, when fully upgraded, academic, infrastructure and funding-wise, will go a long way in straightening “the crooked graduate teacher education system in Nigeria.” Not only that, it will help to curb the reluctance that our children exhibit in signing up for education programmes, in JAMB’s UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) for fear that it may lead them to obtaining only the Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE), rather than first degree. Reverting the institutions to their former status would be, to me, like reversing the hand of the clock on these areas. Rather than doing that, the President should think of how the four universities of education can be strengthened by securing a legal backing for them and by, as Okebukola suggested, drafting a unique curriculum for them, drawn from good practices from countries like Finland and United States, developing academic briefs and physical masterplan for them, by conducting diligent staff audit to match the minimum standards of staff and by advertising for staff, at all levels from the vice-chancellor to the most junior staff. One of the placards carried by the students of Alvan Ikoku University of Education, Owerri, read: ‘Mr. President, please, don’t take away our university from us.’ That is a plea that President Muhammadu Buhari should do well to heed.

Alvan Ikoku University of Education,one of the four colleges of education converted to University, has embarked on a one week warning strike by the lecturers after the Provost was said to return to office as the Provost of the college,which she said she has recieved a letter to that effect. "That the University status has been withdrawn". The ASUU Head(name witheld) called for an emergency meeting on friday, which at the end of the meeting, the lecturers' matched to the Administrative Block of the school and locked it with their key and also lock the gate and use bus to cross the way and chanting their song, some said ' no university no Alvan' 'no university no school' ' forward forever,backward never' Today took another dimension as the lecturers' block the Road leading to the Governor's home town(ORLU ROAD) and the Police and the SSS were all involved,were a fight broke out between a lecturer and the police,which was latter resolve. The sad news is that the Federal Government do not know that the lecturers are protesting and The Minister of Education has not said anything yet neither has there be any Letter Terminating or reverting the appointment of the V. C of the school. The student are hereby adviced to go home and return when the school commences. One of the lecturer's said "From one week warning strike to a month to indefinite" On of the lecturer have this to say "It is unfortunate that the unprogressive minded staff of Alvan have sworn to truncate the University transition. An opportunity given to lmo state and the South East by God. An honest vision of our former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and his Ministers of Education. Do they not know that noting is as constant as change? and what goes around comes around. Why should the interest of a handful of people be the reason to sabotage and derail this accomplishment?The interest of these individuals that are self serving should not supersede the interest of the greater majority; the students,the staff,and the state in general. What every progress minded and God fearing person should be thinking about is the benefits that will accrue from this upgrading , rather than self aggrandisement.We should think inwardly and consider the enhanced quality of education to our children, the reduced cost of acquiring degrees, inconveniences and dangers of travelling to Nsukka, the employment and business opportunities to be created in the state, these cannot be over emphasised. This is also a golden opportunity for the younger ones in the academia to grow and attain professorial status. Therefore, we should be allowed to grow. Long live our Vice Chancellor, long live staff n students of Alvan,long live lmo state and long live the federal republic of Nigeria" God help Nigerian students.

ladygudhead:r u serious? |
Most men today are living with one curse or the other from women. There is hardly any man living that has not been cursed by one woman or the in his life time. Note that if a curse is upon any man's life, without being broken and cancelled from the life of the man, he will never fulfill his destiny. Curse is a destiny changer, and funny enough most men do not believe in the existence or power of curses. Destinies of many men today have been changed and diverted due to curses received from women in the past. Before I proceed, it is good to throw a little light on the meaning of Curse and Freedom to buttress the point to be made in this write up. A curse is a negative pronouncement that is backed up by satanic anointing to make it come to pass. It is the use of negative words as punishment for some one's negative actions or deeds. It can also be seen as the other side of blessing, that is to say the opposite of blessing. Curse is an instrument of punishment and destruction. It can also be seen as a negative form of prayer to afflict one's life. Freedom is a state of not being enslaved or held bound in bondage. It can also be seen as a state of being at liberty, not impeded or held by any power or force. WHY DO WOMEN ISSUE CURSES ON MEN: There are many reasons why a woman can issue curse on a man. Some of these reasons include; 1. When they feel Jilted: If a woman feels that she has been used by a man and dumped, she can issue a curse to the man as a measure to get back at the man. 2. When she feels maltreated: Many women have issued curses to men because of the ways they were maltreated by these men. 3. When they are abused: Most women have been abused mostly sexually by some men. Most women were raped when they were younger and even at their youthful ages. A woman can curse a man when she is abused. 4. When she feels cheated: Most wives have cursed their husbands knowingly and unknowingly when they feel their husbands are cheating on them. 5. Generally women issue curses to men as a punishment for any offence they feel men committed against them. They are the weaker sex and can't engage men in physical fight, so in most cases the resort to curses. THREE MAJOR TYPES OF CURSES FROM WOMEN: There are different types of curses issued to men by women. These curses are as follows; 1. Pronounced Curses: These are curses the woman places on a man verbally or vocally. A man cancelled his wedding with his fiancée a day to the wedding day for no just cause. The woman looked at him and told him that he will never prosper and no woman will ever live with him. He thought it was a joke. Evil demons carried the curse and enforced it. The man married many times and none of the women is living with him today and his life was turned upside down. 2. Unpronounced Curses: These are curses that women issue unconsciously. In most cases they don't come out to say this or this will happen to you, but with that anger in them, they may just say, "You did this to me eh, you will see". Especially if the man has really wronged the woman, a curse is already upon his life. 3. Unknown curses: Another type of curse that follows men from women is the unknown curse. The bible says that the sins of the father shall be visited upon the children, even to the third generation. Most men today are suffering from unknown curses from their forefathers. Most of our forefathers were rapists, and they killed many men to take over their wives. They also did worse things than that and curses were issued to them by those women. Such curses are transferred from one generation to the other. Unless a man has discerning spirit and finds out and breaks such curse, he will never fulfill his destiny. TYPES OF WOMEN THAT MUST NOT CURSE YOU: Men, let us not fool ourselves. If you are cursed by any of these women that I am about to mention below, you need serious deliverance otherwise you are doomed for life. 1. Your Mother: Most men today are under curse knowingly or unknowingly from their mothers. Most men while they were growing, they were stubborn and caused their mothers great pain. These mothers issued such curses like "Your own child will do the same to you, or it will never be well with you". Most men took it as just one of those talks, but today they are suffering from such curses. 2. Your Wife: Most men turn their wives into punching bags, treat them like trash and even go to the extent of bringing in other women to their matrimonial homes. These women resort to cursing to get back at the men. If you are cursed by your wife, sorry you need to be delivered otherwise, you will never prosper. 3. Your Daughter: Most men will wonder why a curse from their daughter will affect them. Yes it will affect you because she is your flesh and your blood. Most men have received curses from their daughters after abusing them or maltreating them unnecessarily. Source: ezinearticles.com/?Freedom-From-The-Curses-Of-Women&id=3023501 |

The History of Aborigine Ogboni, could be traced to that era of primordial civilization of 'MAN' sometimes around 4500BC in Ife-Oodaye. That period of antiquity and a geological era, very long ever before the arrival of the legendary Oduduwa himself to lle-ife around 4th - 5th centuries A.D(Oduduwa was their acclaimed father of Yorubas). In the beginning, there was ife-Oodaye, as earlier mentioned. The language spoken was 'Ife' and not 'Yoruba' people. Maybe one might wondered and asked, who then are the yorubas? the answer to this, is a different issue and perhaps which some past issues of 'Aborigine' has answered among its previous inferences, that had explained among others, that the calling of all descendants of Oduduwa generally as YORUBA today, was the making of the Colonial British Authority in their desire to have unique identities for the colonised Nigerian people during the early part of the century. While no one could precisely say what motivate 'ogboni' cult or confraternity, to come into being in Ife-Oodaye, but postulations in Yoruba mythology, shed light on the pre-Oduduwa era in the IIe-Ife, when 'Obatala' and Oreluere were the ruling chieftains of the Aborigine Ife-speaking community. 'Awo' ogboni, among so many other 'Awos'(i.e cults) in Ife then, became so prominent and relevant, more as a pressure group to protest the unceremonious arrival of the great colonial master in history, (i.e.) Oduduwa, just as certian people of today's Nigeria, first resisted the coming of the British imperialism, so also, the aboriginal Ife people and their particularly leader, Obatala; vehemently resisted the unexpected arrival of Oduduwa and his followers into Ile-ife. But when they could not withstand the might and high political network of Oduduwa, these ancient Ife people, resorted to cover activities, by making use of their ogboni group to determine oduduwa's authority. And in most cases, against oduduwa's people themselves, who were not their members. Most of these terrorist acts take place during the life time of Queen MOREMI, an Ofa indigene, married to ORANMIYAN, one of the Ife kings at that time. A paragon of beauty she was. Moremi used this as a leverage to entice their enemy's leader, so as to decode the antics of these marauders, which was, possibly a faction of the 'omo Iya' (later referred to ogboni today), who used Igbomokun, one of the riverine settlement areas, 'Ondo state' of today as their base, from where they regularly launched their offensive attacks against their 'colonial maters' in Ife land. But with the eventual penetration of the setters(i.e oduduwa and his people), into these aboriginals 'secret cult', who perhaps were using this secret society as a weapon of resistance, this Egbe Omo Iya, or Ogboni, as popularly know, eventually became a cult synonymous with oduduwa, hence. 'N'mesi awo Oodua, later became a popular clinched for the ogboni people. But what Awo Ogboni was, in Ile-Ife in the beginning, was not what it later looked like, in other parts of yoruba land, as at the time it started to spread. For examples, in place like Egba, Ijebu, Remo etc., Ogboni was more or less the SENATE and dispensers of justice in the communities. The power of the ogboni otherwise called OSUGBO, among the Ijebu people, was so enormous and very deadly. Among so many The Aborigine Ogboni Fraternity is the Traditional Religion of the Yoruba's and indeed African Traditional Religion Worldwide. The importance of every good thing in life is faith and believes. The truth is, if you find a faith with no obstacles, it is most likely to be a faith that doesn't lead to anywise important.

Bill Gates – a business magnate, dutiful philanthropist, software pioneer, and the world’s richest man. Let’s take a look at 50 of the most interesting things you probably didn’t know about Microsoft’s co-founder. 1. Bill Gates was born William Henry Gates III, the fourth in his family to be given the name. Because his father had the suffix “II”, Bill was called by the nickname of “Trey.” 2. Gates attended the exclusive Lakeside School, one of handful schools in the US with a computer terminal at the time. Gates interest in the computer programming was such that he was excused from Math classes to pursue it. 3. Gates first computer program ever was a tic-tac-toe game. 4. Gates hacked his school program to schedule students in classes, changing the code so that he was placed in classes with “disproportionate number of interesting girls.” 5. At 17, Gates sold his first computer program, a timetable system for his high school for which he pocketed a $4,200. 6. Gates graduated from Lakeside School with a score of 1590 out of 1600, and then went to Harvard in 1973 where he met Steve Balmer. 7. As sophomore at Harvard, Gates wrote a pancake sorting algorithm which for over 30 years held the record as the fastest solution to the problem presented in a combinatorics class by Henry Lewis. 8. At Harvard he told professors that he would become a millionaire before he was 30. By 31 he was a billionaire. 9. In 1975, Gates dropped out of Harvard and joined his childhood friend Paul Allen to form a company which they named “Micro- Soft.” The hyphen fell off within a year. 10. Interestingly enough, Microsoft wasn't Bill and Paul Allen first venture. They had come together earlier to create Traf-O-Data, a company that made traffic counters built on the Intel 8008 processor. 11. In 1977 he was arrested in New Mexico for driving without license. 12. During the first five years of the company, Gates reviewed every single line of code the company shipped. 13. In the industry, Gates developed a reputation as a fierce competitor as well as not being reachable the phone or returning phone calls. 14. In an interview, Gates conceded that Control-Alt-Delete key combination to log into a PC was a mistake. 15. He paid $30.1 million at an auction in 1994 for the Codex Leichester, a collection of writing by Leonardo Da Vinci. 16. Committed in giving back most of his fortune through charity work, Gates has reportedly reserved only about $10 million for each of his children. 17. When asked why he was active on Twitter and not on Facebook, Bill Gates, who is a friend of Mark Zuckerberg, said: “The friend requests got out of hand…” 18. To show how much he appreciated his collection of Da Vinci manuscripts, Gates said that if he would have to choose between his legacy and rescuing the writings from a burning home, he would invariably opt for the latter. 19. A money machine in the most authentic sense of the word would show that Gates makes in average about $250 per second, $15,000 per minute, and almost $20 million every day. 20. His net worth briefly surpassed $101 billion 1999, causing the media to call “centibilionaire.” 21. His wealth rival that of 40 countries put together, and not 140 countries like some people has been led to believe. 22. From 1995 through 2008, Gates was the richest man on earth, before being dethroned momentarily by Warren Buffet. In 2013, he recouped the top position after seeing his fortune increased by US$15.8 billion to US$78.5 billion. 23. Thirty-two years after dropping out of Harvard University in 2007, Gates returned to his school to receive an honorary degree, thus vindicating a promise he had made to his father to one day get his degree. 24. Towards the end of his life, Steve Jobs reportedly kept a letter from Bill Gates near his bed. 25. Through his foundation, Gates has donated over $28 billion, the largest volume of capital ever mainlined to charity. 26. Out of spite, Steve Jobs is said to have left Bill Gates waiting for an hour at the NeXT offices before meeting him. 27. In recognition to his charitable contributions around the globe, in 2005, Gates was knighted by Queen Elizabeth of England with the KBE Order.

1.) “Gay” This word doesn’t mean ‘happy’ anymore. It is more renowned as a word synonymous with homosexuals. In a society where it is already difficult enough for these people to fit in, it doesn’t help when the word ‘gay’ is now used to describe a stupid or unfortunate situation. Everyday we can hear people say: “I hate this museum, it’s so gay.” When used in the wrong circumstance, ‘gay’ can be incredibly offensive especially around homosexuals. They probably don’t appreciate hearing that they are being used to describe something boring or underwhelm. 2.) “Never mind, you don’t get it” Nobody likes being left out of the loop, and used in the wrong context, this can make it sound like you left the person out on purpose. Although you may have only meant for it to be a quick dismissal of a subject, it could come off as rude and flippant, which destroys relationships rather than maintains them. Next time try providing an explanation, no matter how brief. 3.) “You’re adopted” There should be no good reason to use this phrase in conversation with someone obviously not adopted. It becomes an issue when you use the phrase in inappropriate situations. For example: “You are nothing like your siblings. It’s like you’re adopted or something.” A person with a good sense of humor probably wouldn’t mind too much, however some people are less humorous and would potentially be offended at this statement. These kinds of assumptions, regardless of intention, can be dangerous in conversation. 4.) “You_____like a girl” Girls around the word, especially feminists, find this statement incredibly insulting. Statements such as: “You walk like a girl” are usually said with intentions to insult. While it can be argued that it was meant as a joke, especially towards a very good friend or family member, it can also be rude if used in the wrong situation with the wrong crowd. 5.) “Black” It is controversial, however while you may have only intended to point out the color of their skin, some people are sensitive about the use of the word. They may feel as though it marginalizes them into a minority and it either offend them or makes the, uncomfortable. Rather than using the word ‘black’, it might be more practical to label them by ethnicity instead, for example, African American. 6.) “I don’t care” This is a very common phrase for someone to say in a variety of situations, and it is obvious that it can easily offend. It is never nice to say that you don’t care about something or someone, even in a joking manner. To those who are a bit more sensitive. they might take your words more seriously than you think. Altogether, it is best to assume that this phrase is offensive in most situations. 7.) “You’re just confused” Even if you are right, it is deeply offensive if you make them sound stupid. More often than not you might think you know the whole story in a particular situation, but chances are, you don’t. Be polite to a person in a situation of crisis. It might help maintain your relationship if you offer your support rather than dismissing their situation. 8.) “What’s the point?” Although you may have asked this from a viewpoint of curiosity, it is easy for this statement to sound offensive. Depending on the sensitivity or the person and the circumstance, you might sound like you are dismissing their explanation before they even try explaining. It sounds rude and there are many more polite ways to ask about the purpose of an action. 9.) “You’re too uptight” People have certain passions and motives, and to imply they are ‘too uptight’ can be extremely hurtful. If they feel strongly about something and you don’t understand why, it might still be better to ask them why rather than unintentionally suggest that it doesn’t matter. 10.) “Have you been living under a rock?” This is a very popular expression used with people who are less aware of the world around them than most. Keep in mind that they are probably not aware of this fact and implying that they are ignorant, even in a joking manner can come across are offensive. Some people are more attuned to their surroundings than most, however it is no reason to criticize those who are less worldly than you. 11.) “You’re not that stupid” Although this is usually meant as a compliment, certain situations can turn it into an insult instead. For example, if someone close to you wants to do something you know is harmful, you will be inclined to make a comment along the lines of: “Don’t do it, you’re not that stupid.” At this stage, it can be taken as offensive, since it implies that they aren’t smart enough to make their own decisions. Overall, this phrase might do more harm than good in most situations. ADD URZ.... |
