How about some kinda belief that some people (esp boys) hands spoil soup (makes it sour) if they should dish themselves while some don't. This is common among yorubas.
Romance / Re: What Kick Start A Relationship - Beauty Or Good Traits? by funkystanl(m): 9:30pm On Jul 25, 2014
The truth of the matter is that beauty kick starts any r/ship. Let nobody be deceived or deceive. D first thing that attracts two ppl is the appearance the beauty (however the definition of beauty lies with the beholder).

What makes a r/ship ticks and get going is the good traits. Beauty attracts , good manners makes the attraction stay. And like I tell ppl, the first tin that attracted our parents to eachother is the appearance but what makes them still man and wife is the good traits, and that's where the true love lies!!!

Paroman: Mumuni, who was in a mental hospital was being reviewed for possible release.
When asked what he would do if released, he replied, "I am going to make a slingshot and come back here and break every damn window in the place."Obviously, his release was denied.
Six months later, the board was again considering his release and again asked him the same question. His reply was the same."I am going to make a sling shot and come back here and break every damn window in the place." Again, he was turned down.

So, after considerable coaching, Mumuni felt that he was ready. So when the board met again, they again asked him what he would do if they let him out.
But this time he was ready. Brad said, "I am going to get a job, find an apartment and settle down."
"Good," they said, and then what ?" He said, "I want to meet a nice girl and start dating." They agreed he was making real
progress and asked, "And then what ?" "One night when we are alone in my apartment, I am going to make passionate love to my girlfriend. I am going to take her dress off, and then take her bra off and lie her down on the bed."
"Yes," they said excitedly. "Then I am going to gently remove her panties," he continued. The board members were really getting excited now and asked, "Then what are you going to do ?" He
said, " I am going to take the elastic out of those panties, make myself a slingshot, come back here and break every damn window in this place!

2. DIRTY, UNKEMPT FINGERNAILS
Nothing is a quicker indicator of someone’s hygiene than the state of their nails. Dirty and unkempt nails are a sign of a lack of care overall, but also a health hazard, especially if you’re preparing food for people. Next to your face, the hands are often one of the most viewed parts of your body when you talk to someone in person. All you need to do is trim your nails regularly, occasionally scrub under them with a brush, and also clip any stray hang nails.

 3. NOT FLOSSING
It’s easy to convince yourself that flossing is a personal decision between you and your dental hygienist. Not so. When you brush regularly but neglect flossing, you leave tiny bits of food between your teeth, and that food starts to rot and build up bacteria that can make your breath pretty heinous. It’s an issue for anyone in close quarters with you, but especially anyone who’s getting so close to you. Do your gums and your social life a favour, and start flossing.

4. NOT TRIMMING OR BRUSHING YOUR FACIAL HAIR
Having facial hair is like owning a car: once decide to do it, you’ve got to take responsibility for it or it becomes a liability. One issue is simply neglecting to trim/brush/comb your beard or moustache - you’ve got wild hairs going everywhere or you’ve got uneven patches.
The other issue is more insidious: when you don’t DECIDE what you’re doing with your facial hair. For whatever reason - maybe because facial hair is one of men’s few accessories - as soon as you start growing facial hair, it seems like everyone gets involved. You can get a lot of flack when you start growing facial hair without a clear goal: “Are you working towards a beard, or are you doing the “strategic stubble” thing? What’s the deal here?” Make a decision and start caring for and maintaining it along the way.

5. SHAVING YOUR BEARD LINE UP TOO HIGH.
So many guys trim their beards above their natural beard line, thinking it will eliminate the appearance of having a “wattle” or double chins. They think, if I trim my beard up this high, you’ll think my face is all svelte and you won’t see the jangly mess hanging below. But in reality, it doesn’t do them any favours. That’s like some guy wearing a half T-shirt hoping you’ll ignore his pot belly hanging below (sorry to put that visual in your head!).
By trimming around the natural beard line where the bottom of your jaw meets your neck, it can actually help cover up your jowls in a tasteful way - and it doesn’t look like you’re trying to use smoke and mirrors.

6. USING TOO MUCH PRODUCT IN YOUR HAIR
There are many things in life where “more is better.” Hair product usually isn’t one of them. Whether you just applied your gel or cream too liberally, didn’t work it in well enough, or your hair was too wet when you applied it - if you’re not careful, you’ll have something un presentable on your head. It’s too bad, because you were so close to getting points for having nicely quaffed hair, but then lack of attention was your downfall. Try using just a little bit of product, and make sure you look at your hair closely (maybe use an extra mirror to see the back of your head) to ensure everything’s worked in properly.

7. WEARING TOO MUCH COLOGNE
I’ve never been a big Cologne guy, but for some, a nice subtle fragrance can work great. Notice I said SUBTLE. If you walk into an elevator and people can TASTE your cologne, then guess what, you failed on the subtlety front. The thing is, wearing too much of even the fanciest cologne makes it smell cheap, and it’s going to ruin your chances of making a good first impression.
It’s easy to get used to your own scent, so this may be something where you want to get help from an honest friend. Ask them about whether your cologne is too overpowering. You can also try using much less, and then ask them if they can still smell it. If they can, maybe you don’t need as much as you thought.

8. LETTING YOUR LIPS TURN INTO THE SAHARA DESERT
It’s pretty hard not to notice someone’s lips and mouth when you’re talking to them. So, even if you’ve combed your hair perfectly and groomed your facial hair like a Bonsai tree, if your lips are dry and cracked, they’re going to be distracting. Just at that key moment when you’re telling a story, people won’t hear how good your story is. Instead, they’ll be looking at your cracked lips. Key here is making sure to regularly use lip balm.

9. UNTRIMMED TOENAILS
While you can avoid unleashing your toenails at the office and on a first date, there’s always the inevitable outdoor BBQ, pool party or trip to the river. And that means wearing flip flops or sandals. It’s great to give those nappy toes some oxygen and maybe a little sun. But are they ready for public viewing? Are they scaring young children and passersby? Most guys don’t pay much attention to the hygiene of their toenails, probably because we think “hey, out of sight, out of mind.” But when we bust out our bad toes and haven’t taken care of them, it can be a big turnoff for those around us. All it takes is a little trimming and filing, and you’re good to go.

TO SUM IT UP…
As you can see, even if you’ve taken the time to put on a nice outfit and comb your hair, there are a ton of little grooming details that if you don’t pay close attention, can really sabotage you.
The good news is that all of these are extremely easy to fix. And most don’t require more than a few minutes a day, if that. In fact, if you make them part of your routine, they’ll become second nature, just like brushing your teeth.

What are some other easy grooming habits you see people missing? Guys and ladies.

1. IGNORING ROGUE EAR, NOSE OR EYEBROW HAIR
Gents, once you reach a certain age, you have to embrace the fact that your body no longer confines hair growth to the “designated hair
areas.” You suddenly become a Chia Pet, with hairs sprouting up everywhere. Beyond the whole discussion of back hair or manscaping, the areas that cause the most issues on the surface are unruly ear, nose and eyebrow hair.

If it’s starting to look like you’re growing earmuffs or like a spider is trying to escape from your nose legs first, then it’s time to take action. And you may think it’s unmanly to trim your eyebrows, but once they get some real heft, it can look like you have two Gremlins living above your eyes. You don’t need to do anything drastic, but trimming a few straggler hairs now and then will do. And it’s easy to have your barber just take care of this during your regular visit—it’s usually no extra charge.

This is for the GUYS but ladies can learn and also make comments. Imagine you are talking to your potential future boss and everything’s going great…until you point to your resume, and he sees your grimy, unkempt nails.

Or you’re halfway through an amazing dinner date, and you lean over the table to say something charming…and she’s hit with a wall of bad breath.

Often, during make-or-break situations like job interviews and first dates, your success or failure comes down to a few small details of how you present yourself. In those moments, it no longer matters that you suited up and combed your hair, because you ignored the details. You didn’t think the other person would notice, but they did.

Why do the details matter so much? Because as the saying goes, “How you do anything is how you do everything.” Grimy nails don’t just mean you’ve given up on your dream of becoming a hand model. They mean you’re ok with letting little things slip. Little things that could potentially have bigger consequences down the road…

The good news is that it’s never too late to start paying attention to details like grooming.

Here are a few grooming issues that might be holding you back if you don’t take care of them. Fortunately, all of them are easy to fix.
Jobs/Vacancies / Here's Why Google Stopped Asking Bizarre, Crazy-hard Interview Questions by funkystanl(m): 7:46pm On Jul 12, 2014
When you think about what it takes to get hired by Google, you might remember some of its infamously tough interview questions, like "How many golf balls can fit into a school bus?" or "How many piano tuners are there in the entire world?"

While asking these kinds of crazy, bizarre questions certainly earned Google the reputation of having high standards, the company has since ditched that brain-bending approach, deeming it a useless way to actual judge potential employees. "We found that brainteasers are a complete waste of time," Laszlo Bock, Google's senior vice president of people operations told The New York Times last year. "How many golf balls can you fit into an airplane? How many gas stations in Manhattan? A complete waste of time. They don’t predict anything. They serve primarily to make the interviewer feel smart."

Instead, Google now uses well-structured, behavioral interviews where an interviewer will grill the candidate about their past work, asking them, for example, to talk about an instance where they solved an analytically difficult problem.

"The interesting thing about the behavioral interview is that when you ask somebody to speak to their own experience, and you drill into that, you get two kinds of information," Bock says. "One is you get to see how they actually interacted in a real-world situation, and the valuable “meta” information you get about the candidate is a sense of what they consider to be difficult."

Google is also moving away from its old GPA requirements (it's actually hiring more and more people that never went to college). Bock said in another New York Times interview that learning ability is much more important indicator of whether someone will be a good fit for Google than I.Q. Candidates need to be able to process things "on the fly" and draw conclusions from seemingly unconnected info.

They also need to be "emergent" leaders. Google isn't necessarily looking for the president of the chess club. It's looking for people who know when to lead and when to follow.

"What’s critical to be an effective leader in this environment is you have to be willing to relinquish power," he says.

Humility and ownership are two other big pieces of the puzzle. Bock wants Google employees to feel a sense of responsibility and ownership that will make them step in and try to solve any problem. But they also need the humility to embrace the better ideas of others. There needs to be the right mix of confidence and adaptability.

"They’ll argue like hell. They’ll be zealots about their point of view. But then you say, ‘here’s a new fact,’ and they’ll go, ‘Oh, well, that changes things; you’re right,'" Bock says. "You need a big ego and small ego in the same person at the same time."

Finally, Bock says that Google doesn't care about expertise. Experts will respond to problems with the same solutions they've seen work a million times. A nonexpert will mess up occasionally, but usually they'll come up with the same answer. And once in a while they'll come up with something that is completely new. That's how innovation happens.
