RomanceRe: Why Do Reasonable People Elope? by meamanda(f): 8:30pm On Jan 27, 2013
Love is not meant for cowards...they just pretend to fall in love..have sex and move on...And such people shamelessly call themselves 'a practical'

Shame..Shame!!

Well said smiley

Loser will keep coming up with end number of excuses! Hail Love grin

alexwrld: Now let me pose this question to this thread: Who is getting married: You or the people around you? Why don't they win your heart by standing by your decision?
Whether you are a Muslim or a Christian..Both religions insist on your happiness. Islam and Christianity both are strictly against the idea of marrying off a girl against her wish. Then tell me who is wrong?

I have seen parents forcefully marrying her daughters to the grooms they choose....Such women will never become a loyal wife. And trust me, the people who orchestrate such marriages have never fallen in love. It is pointless to take their advice either....So keep eloping...Live for love; Live for truth cheesy

This young man (he'd be about 28 now) was in Sydney last year and I had the opportunity to listen to him. What an intelligent personality. He's one of the most inspiring success stories I have ever come across in my life cheesy

I Love this one from Bruce Lee cheesy

#2. Be Like Water


“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ~Bruce Lee

HealthRe: 100 Years And Counting: This 1951 Mr. Universe Still Hits The Gym by meamanda(f): 12:36pm On Jan 18, 2013
Did research on Manohar....I have recommended his diet to my boyfriend who has just started weight training.
It's the best share on Nairaland....one of the things that struck me was his methods of weight training. He'd just concentrate on his muscles and spend more time on cardio. I wish to meet him when I visit Calcutta, India.

And he hits the gym at the age of 100 grin

Well said :-)

She made my day the day I first read about her...Her resolve to defying AGE has inspired millions of other people across the world. Hats Off to Ernestine Shepherd grin


mrkels: I expected to see some unpleasant pictures, but was disappointed. She's one sexy old lady...one of her kind...didn't think I ll ever use that word "sexy old"
HealthRe: Ernestine Shepherd: A 75-year-old Body Builder by meamanda(f): 2:42pm On Jan 15, 2013
Yes, she has forgotten her age..."Age is Just a Number!"
She is an inspiration for us all..who spend hours on the Internet and never dare to run even for some hundred meters. If you visit the link to read the full article, you will realize what makes her going and her source of inspiration.

gwas: I think she forgot her age.
HealthRe: Ernestine Shepherd: A 75-year-old Body Builder by meamanda(f): 2:39pm On Jan 15, 2013
No no...She has never taken any steroid of any sort. Please respect her achievement and hardwork.

redcliff: i think she's doing this without steroids, if not, shes be worse off.

Can we spare him now?
He's a cancer survivor and has seen many ups and downs in his life. Stripping him with his medals would not lessen his contribution to sports and cancer.

Why are we so easily dissatisfied with our own lot- i.e.withour own self, with what we have, who are we and what we do?

For instance, while it doesn’t help that your best friend/relative’s partner looks drop dead gorgeous; morality (or what’s left of it) says we shouldn’t drool over and dream of being with the aforementioned Beau or Belle All. The. Time!

Why would we rather break a loving or potentially-loving relationship and forge-yes forge-it into our lives?

Why do some of us get such a pleasure and thrill from breaking someone’s home up and make it their own instead?

Is this what real Success involves alongside those of us who toil hard to get what we want?

Isn’t breaking up a home akin to trampling over a sincere professional at work and getting that promotion which they didn’t deserve to get via such devious schemes?
If we can have the motivation to plot, cheat and deceit, why can’t we muster up a little more motivation to get what we want by working hard via the ethical and decent path?

Is it because we just can be bothered? Or is it because we are chicken?
Or, is it both?

Probing deeper, it could very well be because we we think we can’t find another Guy or Girl like Him or Her and therefore think and feel it’s easier to break what’s already been made.

Yes, that will make life easier, make us more popular with our families and friends, make the kids love the step-parent more than their real parents?

Sarcasm aside, maybe it will, but won’t it take a lot of hard work to achieve this? If so, are we afraid of hard work or do we simply want what they have?

Are we confusing consumerist success with personal success in today’s age of instant gratification?
If so, how healthy is this sort of motivation for us physiologically and psychologically?

Nairaland GeneralRe: Dashrath Manjhi 'The Man Who Moved A Mountain' by meamanda(f): 3:16pm On Jan 12, 2013
Where did you read that the government offered him dynamite and he said no need?
The government approached him only after he finished the task.

anonimi: You too sharp I swear.
Did you read the part where the government gave him and the villagers all the dynamite needed and he said no need, I will rather do it with my hands huh
Nairaland GeneralRe: Dashrath Manjhi 'The Man Who Moved A Mountain' by meamanda(f): 3:13pm On Jan 12, 2013
Right!
I'm too touched by this story....Ironically, the man died of cancer and the government could not keep their promises till date cry

Yujin: Dashrath Manjhi!
As long as I live, I will always make reference of this man when it comes to selflessness and sheer determination.
A great man indeed.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Dashrath Manjhi 'The Man Who Moved A Mountain' by meamanda(f): 3:10pm On Jan 12, 2013
Very well said Isaac, "determination & hardwork lead to success"
TD Isaac: The morale of d story is very clear and noteworthy : determination & hardwork lead to success. However why will one do a job for 22 years which can be done in a little time? Why couldn't he just blow d mountain up? Are there no dynamites?
RomanceRe: Giving Your Partner A Spare Key: Is It Right? by meamanda(f): 3:08pm On Jan 12, 2013
Trust is the key my friend. My partner even uses my Facebook account and doesn't feel irritated when I use his...The question is if you are together for some days, weeks and months...and then move on to someone else...Such questions are bound to cross your mind.

My partner and I are together for the past 12 years...we started dating when we both were 10..Getting married this Feb smiley

“The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself – the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us – that’s where it’s at.”

Looks like he was also a philosopher. A great man!
Nairaland GeneralRe: Dashrath Manjhi 'The Man Who Moved A Mountain' by meamanda(f): 3:03pm On Jan 12, 2013
I salute his spirit...Looks like he really did move a mountain. I wish his wife was alive to hold his hand and walk the road. Great man cheesy
