FERNANDEZISBACK:I imagine that many doubted Papa Noah when he warned of a great flood coming. They didn't believe him. Only him, his wife, three sons and three daughters-in-law (8 persons) entered the ark of safety and became saved. It took 120 years before the flood came. Please don't doubt.

What was the best relationship advice you ever got? If you’re a short man, don’t date a woman who is taller than you. Don’t marry a person for their money. They’ll tie a noose around your neck. Don’t marry out of necessity or pressure. After all, you’re the one who is going to live with them for the rest of your life. Don’t fall in love with a person simply for sex, good looks or attractiveness. Fall in love with a person who will be there for you when you need them. A partner. A friend and a companion. Observe a person for at least a year before you agree to marry them. A simple background check can reveal if the person has a clean bill of health or has a past criminal record. Only fall in love with a person because you’re in love with them and you can’t do without them. Relationships are about sharing. Share with your partner, everything that you would desire for yourself. If your partner has some bad habits like alcoholism or drug addiction, don’t even think for a moment that you will change them by marrying them. Marry the person who is teachable and knows how to handle money. It’s better to marry a person who has a vision than a person who has money. Marry the person who can face you and rebuke you when you’re wrong. Relationships are built on trust. Make sure the person you go into a relationship with cannot cheat on you or steal from you. Relationships are not “bells and roses”. Think long-term before you go into a relationship. “Happily Ever After” doesn’t exist. Every waking day, you must make a conscious decision to love your partner for good or for worse. Some days it’s sheer heaven, some days it’s sheer hell. Don’t get into a relationship as a way to escape from something you’re running away from, or as a way to compensate for something you lack or hate within yourself. The most important factor in a relationship is not sex, attractive looks, or shared goals. It is respect. Respect for your partner and for yourself are mutual. Respect yourself and your partner. Never talk ill to or about your partner. If you don’t respect your partner, you’re not worthy of her/him. People who have been through a divorce and/or have been with their partners for the longest period, almost always talked about communication or the lack of it, being the key factor for their break-up or the reason for their being together, even when it hurt to communicate. People who have been through much tribulation and suffering together tend to be together for the longest period of time, being sometimes only separated by death. Respect your partner for what they stand for even if they have different views, hobbies, interests, and perspectives of life. Just because you have different views doesn’t mean you’re always right. Develop a habit of listening keenly to your partner when they’re talking. There’s no way of communicating with them unless you hear them out first. Never talk ill or gossip about your partner or complain about them to your friends. If you have a problem with your partner, the best way to solve it is to discuss the problem with your partner. Talking ill or bad about your partner erodes love and trust and you’ll be surprised how difficult it will be to look them in the eyes with the same confidence next time you meet. You and your spouse are mutual partners in the relationship. As such, they have an equal say in the relationship, you are a team, and if one person in the team is not happy, then the team is not succeeding. There are no secrets in a healthy relationship. If you’re really in this together and you respect one another, everything should be fair game. Does someone have a crush on you? Discuss it. Laugh about it. Had a weird sexual fantasy that sounds ridiculous? Be open about it. Nothing should be off-limits. Be open. Talk openly about everything, especially the stuff that hurts. If something bothers you in the relationship, you must be willing to talk about it openly. Talking about an issue openly builds trust and intimacy and increases the love bond. It may hurt at first, but it is still necessary to discuss it. No one else can fix your relationship for you. Nor should anyone else. Only make promises you can keep. Broken promises erode trust, which took a long time to build. Rebuilding trust after it has been broken can take a long time, which may be costly in terms of maintaining a proven track record over time. A good track record can be difficult to rebuild without a genuine apology and owning up to your previous mistakes and embarking on ways to correct them. Learn to discern your partner’s problems, worries, anxieties or fears. Determine to carry each other’s cross. Watch out for suspicious behavioral changes in your partner and promptly address them by standing with them in difficult times, interrogating them and extending help. Learn to forgive. This is the most effective way to heal yourself. With love prevailing, nothing is impossible to forgive. Fights in a relationship are inevitable, but they should never be carried too far, to the point of ruining your progress. In most relationship fights, one person thinks something is completely perfect while the other one thinks it’s totally wrong. In such circumstances, it’s extremely hard to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. Insecurity and fears in a relationship should never be encouraged, otherwise, they remain a threat to a healthy relationship. www-quora-com-What-was-the-best-relationship-advice-you-ever-got-answer-Flavian-Mwasi">https://humanmindreaders.quora.com/https-www-quora-com-What-was-the-best-relationship-advice-you-ever-got-answer-Flavian-Mwasi |
What was the best relationship advice you ever got? • Don’t marrry a man or woman unless and until you’ll be proud to have kids like them. PERIOD. • Be picky with who you invest your time in. Wasted time is worse than wasted money. • Be yourself. It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are NOT. • Need good communucation in your relationship?Just stick to one rule DON’T LISTEN TO REPLY. LISTEN TO UNDERSTAND. • Forgive. Keep on forgiving if they’re actually worth it. • Don’t cry over someone who doesn’t care for you because no man/woman is worth your tears, but once you find the one that is, he/she won’t make you cry. • Have the courage to leave the table if RESPECT is no longer being served. • Never hurt someone whose only intention was to love you. But do block them if they act creepy. • We have the ones who will love us even if we cut them into pieces and the ones who will hate us even if we feed them pure honey. Choose people wisely. Chase people wisely. • People are always capable of falling in love again. • Some people are just the journey, not the destination. Understand the difference. • Follow your heart, but take your brain with you. Because love is not blind or deaf, it’s plain dumb. People can see everything, hear everything but they still choose to ignore. • Lastly, never enter into a relationship just because everbody else is doing the same. Being single by choice never goes out of style. https://qr.ae/pvHCzA |
As a married person, what is your opinion of adults who are still single? To be perfectly honest, I envy them. Single people are (almost) always looking for a mate, especially women. But what they don’t realize is the one thing they give up when they get married: their freedom. Single people have the freedom to do whatever they want, whenever they want. Single people have the freedom to make their own decisions and their own mistakes. Single people have the freedom to live their lives without interference from another person/mate. Single people have the option to only clean-up after themselves, to only cook for one person, to only do one load of laundry. They can live in a spotlessly clean house, or live like a pig and no-one would care. Single people do not have to share the TV remote, the bathroom, or the bedroom. Single people can sleep in the center of the bed, watch whatever they want on TV or Netflix and they never have to worry about the bathroom being clean or putting the seat down. Single people don’t have to worry about a snoring partner, keeping them awake. Single people can spend their money or save their money. Single people do not have to live their lives under constant criticism or compromise. Single people never have to discuss going on vacation, making a large purchase, where to work or where to live or what furniture to buy. On a darker note, single people never have to worry about domestic violence, verbal abuse, emotional torment or sexual assault from their partner. As a married person, what is your opinion of adults who are still single? I (sometimes) ENVY them! https://qr.ae/pvHrHZ |

What are some things you realize as you get older? No women is perfect. If I choose a Submissive woman, I must accept that she depends on me. If I choose a beautiful woman, I have to accept expenses too. If I choose a working woman, I must accept that she cannot handle full household chores. If I choose a housewife, I must accept that she doesn't earn. If I choose a great woman, I have to accept that she is tough and firm. If I choose a Brave woman, I must accept that she has thoughts of her own. A woman has her “Good things" that defines who she is and makes her unique . Har Har Mahadev �. https://qr.ae/pvFJkX |
What are some examples of manipulation? “No matter what happens, never lay your hands on a woman” You've most definitely heard this statement a million times. It wouldn't have been a bad statement were it not for the first part that says “No Matter what” Is this gender equality? Is this your definition of the word? Parents advise their daughters to be strong and not take shit from any man, which is okay, but on the other hand; boys are advised to take shit from women because that's what makes them real men. Are you kidding me? This is why we're gradually raising boys who will end up getting abused by their partners and see nothing wrong with it. The media keeps peddling garbage quotes like "the day you raise your hand on a woman is the day you cease to be a man" but a woman dosent cease to be a woman the day she hits a man. Now, in case you haven't gotten it yet, this post isn't about promoting gender based violence; it's about teaching our guys that it's okay to defend yourself if she starts hitting, it's okay to shove her if she won't stop hitting you. Some people will quickly jump in and say "why don't you be the man and walk away". Let me tell you something; the only way to take care of bullies is to stand up to them, if you walk away, they'll come back for you. "No matter what happens, never hit a woman", Anyone peddling this statement is trying to excuse abuses on one side, anyone making such statement is trying to silence the other side from standing up for themselves. I'll always remember the story of Amber heard and Johnny depp; that's a prime example of what happens when you let abuses from the female gender linger, all in the name of being a man. I also recently remembered something about the case; it wasn't Johnny who came out first, it was Amber. That means, if she hadn't come out to falsely accuse him, johnny would have remained silent and kept suffering. That's what will happen guys, if you allow an abusive partner to continue, it's not going to stop until you address it. This dosent only have to be about relationships, tell yourself you're worth it, and that nobody, not even a girl has the right to hit you, and if she does, defend yourself. Defend yourself! Defend yourself!! The law will always excuse self defense, I don't know why so many guys don't seem to understand this. If a man tries to attack a woman, she's advised to go for the weak points, use any weapon around her to inflict as much pain as possible (rightly so), but when a man is being attacked by a woman, he's advised to be the bigger person and walk away. It's shown in movies a lot, a woman hits a man first, and as the man's about to hit back, the woman goes "you're not really going to hit a woman, are you?" Scenes like that make guys feel it's okay to be hit by women but it's an abomination to hit back. Another statement I hear from people trying to excuse shit like this is "you can't really compare a woman hitting a man to a man hitting a woman" oh really? That statement is the most archaic thing I've ever heard; no matter how ripped you are, if a 13yr old girl punches your nose, or your eyes, or your throat, you're going to go down! Gender has nothing to do with it. Guys feel physical pain too Never ever excuse abuses from the female gender. Here's the thing about human beings; If a baby is sucking it's mom's breast, there are times when the baby tries to be naughty (usually due to boredom as a result of it no longer being hungry) by biting on the nipple. Now here's the thing, when it bites her, it usually looks at her face to see her reaction, if the mom looks at the child sternly, the child will know better than to try it again, but if the mom ignores it, or even worse; smiles, the child will bite on the nipple next time—harder! That's humans for you, give them an inch and they'll take a mile. It works for all genders but I'm being specific here. Defend yourselves guys, never excuse abuses because you want to be a gentleman. When I say "don't excuse abuses", it doesn't only have to be physically, if the situation allows you to walk away, you can walk away and file a lawsuit, but if the situation dosent allow you to walk away, hit back This post isn't encouraging guys to hit girls, it's encouraging guys to hit back (if there's no other choice). If I have sons, my advice would be "boys, the day you become the aggressor and hit a woman first, you become a disgrace to the male gender and a sorry excuse for a man. But if she hits you first, defend yourself however you can" If you're a guy and you were too lazy to read this, at least take this home; never ever lay your hands on a woman, but if she does first, make her no longer a threat. If she's man enough to throw a punch, she should be man enough to receive one as well. Nobody has monopoly of madness. https://qr.ae/pvFJsu |

Have you gone through the book"Rich Dad Poor Dad"? If you have not done so, try to get a copy and go through it. It's an educative and informative read . The knowledge, information and mindset we possess now can determine our next level. Below are some key points from the book by Robert Kiyosaki. 1. Don’t work for money: Rich don’t work for money. If you work for money, your mind will start thinking like an employee. If you start thinking differently like a rich man, you will see things differently. Rich works on their asset column, every dollar in their asset column is their hard-working employee. 2. Don’t be controlled by emotions: Some people’s lives are always controlled by the two emotions of fear and greed. Fear keeps people in this trap of working hard, earning money, working hard, earning money, and hoping that it will reduce their fear. Secondly, most of us have the greed to get rich quickly. Yes, many people become rich overnight, but they have no financial education. So educate yourself and don’t be greedy or fearful. 3. Acquire assets: Don’t buy liabilities on your way to financial freedom. People buy liabilities and think these are assets, but they are not. Many people buy luxuries first, like big cars, heavy bikes, or big houses to live in. But the rich buy assets and their assets buy luxuries. The rich buy houses and rent them, and they pay them for their Lamborghinis. The poor or middle class buy luxuries first, and the rich buy luxuries last. 4. Remember the KISS principle: KISS stands for keeping it simple, stupid. Don’t be too overload your mind when you are going to start your way to financial freedom. Things are simple and keep them simple. The simple thing to remember is assets put money in pocket and liabilities take money out of pocket. Always buy assets so they put money into your pocket. 5. Know the difference between assets and liabilities: Assets are anything that puts money in your pocket, like stocks, bonds, real estate, mutual funds, rental properties, etc. Liabilities are anything that pulls money out of your pocket, like your house, your car, debt, etc. People think their home is their biggest asset, but it is not. A house is an asset when it generates money like when you rent a house, it generates money, and when your life in that house becomes a liability. 6. Don’t be a financial illiterate: A person can be highly educated and become successful in their profession, but financially illiterate. Financial education is very important for any individual. Our schools and colleges did not teach us financial education. Many financial problems arise as a result of a lack of financial education. Start learning financial education and I suggest you read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". 7. Increase your Wealth: Wealth is defined as a person's ability to survive for a certain number of days in the future, or how long they could survive if they stopped working today. Consider your wealth and whether you would survive if you stopped working today for a year. 8. Mind your own business: If you have a job, keep your job and start a part-time business and work it. Use the time that you spend on your iPhone, parties, or any other activity, to build your business. Never leave your job until you build your own business. Don’t struggle all of your life for someone else. Start your own business and grow your business. 9. Train your mind: Your biggest asset is your mind. Many individuals watch opportunities with their eyes, but if you train your mind, you can see opportunities with your mind. If you train your mind well, it can create enormous wealth. 10. Learn technical skills: Your financial IQ will be raised by learning these four technical skills: Accounting is defined as the ability to read numbers. If you want to build an empire, then this is an essential skill. By learning this skill, you will be able to understand the strength and weaknesses of a business. Investing: It is the science of making money. Understanding markets: It is the science of supply and demand. The Law: A person who has knowledge of the law of tax advantages and corporations can get rich faster than others. 11. Find opportunities that everyone else missed: "Great opportunities are not seen with your eyes. They are seen with your mind. " You can see many more opportunities with your mind than many people miss with their eyes. It is not rocket science, you just need to train your mind. 12. Learn to manage risk: Investment is not risky, not knowing the investment is risky. If you want to reduce the risk, then increase your knowledge. This knowledge will not come by going to college, it will come by reading books or sitting with people who know the investment. 13. Learn management: The main management skills are: Management of cash flow Management of system Management of people Sales and marketing are the most essential skills. The ability to sell and the ability to communicate with another human being, be it a customer, employee, fiancé, friend, or child, is a basic skill of personal success. 14. Manage fear: “Failure inspires winners. Failure defeats losers.” Everyone has a fear of losing money. It is a general thing. The rich also have a fear of losing money, and most rich people lose a lot of money. But the main difference between the rich and the poor is how they manage fear. For many people, the fear of losing money is much more terrifying than the joy of having money. 15. Find a reason: Everyone wants to be rich, but many of us don’t want to struggle. People often ask me why I want to be rich. I answered that I don’t want to die poor. Choose your reason, like you want to help others, you want to build hospitals or you want to travel freely. If you don’t have a reason, then it is difficult to stay on this path. 16. Choose friends carefully: Do not choose friends by watching their financial statements. Choose friends from among the rich as well as the poor. Learn from both. Both will tell you the best lessons but choose carefully. 17. Pay yourself first: If you cannot get control of yourself, then it is difficult to get rich. If you lack management, then it is difficult to be rich. First, pay yourself. People often buy cars or luxuries when they have money. On the other hand, the rich buy assets, and their assets buy luxuries for them. 18. Use assets to buy luxuries: When you get paid by your job or when you earn some money, don’t buy luxuries first. Buy an asset and your asset will pay you for your luxuries. Poor buy luxuries first and the rich buy luxuries last. 19. Understand the power of giving: “God does not need to receive, but humans need to give.” If you want money, start giving money. If you give, you will receive more than you give. Always do charity in your life. It should be your habit. 20. Read books: In this book, Robert mentions many books that you need to read. Reading books will open your mind and you will learn too many things. I suggest you read all the books by Robert T. Kiyosaki. This will open your mind and may give you a good direction in your life. Thank you. Source: Quora |
I will never, I'll repeat never ever put myself down again. It all started when I was 13. I had downloaded instagram and some other bunch of social media apps and I felt really happy that for once, I had the freedom to connect with my friends and make new friends through it. I grew up in a strict household so it was nice to be able to persuade my mom to let me use social media since all my friends were using it, although she didn't let me use Facebook and Snapchat I was still content with having Insta, Twitter, Youtube, and Reddit. Not only did social media help me make new friends but it made me develop a habit of comparing myself to other people. I would see different pictures of beautiful people who looked effortlessly pretty on instagram and suddently felt ugly. I developed jealousy and body consciousness. It wasn't a right place to be. It chowed most of my time, I used to be a productive person but at that time, I spent most of my time scrolling through social media and looking at the fancy lives of Celebs instead of studying. I decided that I was done with social media when I was 15 after seeing a drastic drop in my academic marks. I deleted instagram first since it made me feel like crap, and I was done complaining about how other people had the perfect ‘body’ when in reality they just added filteres. Pictures aren't always real. I didn't want to delete Twitter but I did, because I really wanted to eliminate time wasters in my life. I deleted games too and I ended up downloading Wattpad and Quora. It has been a good journey ever since. I don't regret deleting those social media apps and I wont look back, atleast not now. I'm now working on building my confidence. I'm learning how to love and accept myself the way I am instead of comparing myself to other people. And that everyone is different, the concept of beauty is very complicated. While I might think she's more beautiful: Someone might think she's cuter: Or that she's prettier: Like I said, the concept of beauty is complex. Everyone has their own opinions. So let us not dwell on such standards. The comparison wont take you anywhere, instead it will only build hatred within yourself and you should never put yourself down like that. You have to love and value yourself at all costs, you must understand that you will have to live with yourself for the rest of your life, so if you don't want to love yourself, your life will be miserable and that's no way to live. Lets get rid of these unrealistic beauty standards we have created before they destroy more lives and people's happiness… https://qr.ae/pvFMyS |

Don’t sign WHO’s proposed IHR amendment, group cautions Nigeria, others Worried by what it described as empty or weak proposed amendment of the International Health Regulation, IHR, 2005 by the World Health Assembly, WHA, concerned groups led by the Equity International Initiative, EII, has called on Nigeria and other sovereign nations not to append their signatories to the amendment. According to them, the amendment by the WHA, a top law making body of the World Health Organisation, WHO, has nothing to offer by way of strengthening WHO’s preparedness for and response to health emergencies. The Equity International Initiative, EII, in a press statement made available to Vanguard, described the amendment as a clandestine script for positioning of WHO as world government, legalising transfer of national sovereignty of nations to United Nations, UN, agency. It accused the United States of submitting to the WHO a strange proposal to amend several Articles of the IHR, which are expected to be adopted by the 75th WHA that kicked off on May 22, 2022. The Country Director, Equity International Initiative, Mr. Chris Iyama, said: “Our conclusion is that Nigeria and indeed all other sovereign nations should not sign up to this proposed amendment to the IHR. Should for any reason the leadership of the nation want to cast a second look at this proposal, same should be passed to the National Assembly for our elected representatives and the public to have a say on it as the clear implications of the text of this proposal has very troubling and far reaching implications for the world at large and Nigeria in particular. “We must all remember the ill-fated Infectious disease bill ostensibly smuggled in from Singapore by the Nigerian Law makers during the COVID-19 era under the influence of Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the WHO, which sought to transfer the powers granted only to the President to the Director of the Centre for Disease Control (CDC). These amendments to IHR are simply the amplified version of the failed Infectious Disease Bill. The people and government of every nation should do everything possible to stop the adoption of these amendments to the IHR.” The EII insisted that to sign up to these proposed amendments are for a nation to cede its sovereignty, security and rights of its citizens to the WHO and its Director General. It said authority and sovereignty must reside with the people and their elected leaders The IHR, first adopted by the WHA in 1969 and last revised in 2005, are a legally binding rules that only apply to the WHO that is an instrument that aims for international collaboration “to prevent, protect against, control, and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease in ways that are commensurate with and restricted to public health risks and that avoid unnecessary interference with international traffic and trade.” The IHR is the only international legal treaty with the responsibility of empowering the WHO to act as the main global surveillance system. It said the United States of America has put forward a proposal to amend Articles ,6,9,10,11,12,13,15,18,48.49.53 and 59 of the IHR, 2005,by deleting text from the existing law and introducing new texts to the law. The NGO said a careful study and review of the texts being removed from the law and the ones being introduced to the IHR clearly, very clearly show that these amendments have nothing to offer by way of ‘strengthening WHO’s preparedness for and response to health emergencies’ but a clandestine script for the positioning of the United Nations (UN) health agency as a world government and legalising the transfer of national sovereignty of nations to the WHO and a fortiori, those persons and organisations who sponsor and control it. One Article 9, Equity International Initiative said the amendment being made to the original text of this article, proposes to remove requirement for the WHO to consult and obtain verification by nation where it is alleged that public health emergency of international concern has occurred before moving in or taking measures within or outside the country with respect to the alleged occurrence. This no doubt would be used by powerful nations and indeed, organizations to impose medicines, vaccines and measures on the citizens of nations that the people or their elected leaders are opposed to. On Article 10, the NGO said in the text proposed to be inserted into this section, it is made a matter of compulsion of a sort for a country to accept within 48 hours, an offer for collaboration and also provide requested information by the WHO on an allegation that a health emergency of international concern has occurred or may occur in the territory of a state party. “This proposed amendment automatically turns the WHO to a bully master of the affected nation. It is worryingly provided in the proposed amendment that a nation in which the WHO believes that a health emergency has occurred is given barely 48 hours to answer to queries from the WHO on the occurrence. This flies in the face of the sovereignty of the nations. Firstly, it is not possible to have such a response within the period of time provided and secondly and most worrisome is the fact that the nations and/or government of nations are made answerable to the head of World Health Organisation.” On Article 10(4), it said by removing ‘may’ as it was used in the existing law and replacing it with ‘shall’ with respect to the right of state party where health emergency is reported to the WHO to exist to accept an offer for collaboration or help from the WHO, the proponents of these amendments are clearly set out to erode the powers of states to decide what health measures they allow on their citizens from the WHO and their agents and give the global body the power to side step political authority of nations in cases of alleged health emergencies. This same applies to Articles 11(2), 11(2) (e) and 11(3). On Article 12, Equity International said under the proposed amendment being introduced here, the Director General of the WHO would become a global emperor with powers to declare a health emergency has occurred within a state party even when the national authority of the country has not made such determination or does not accept the report of the WHO on the occurrence, including allegations of potential occurrence. “This same vice is contained in the amendment in Article 12(4) (a),and the new articles 12(5) and (6) being proposed.” On Articles 48,49,53,59, the NGO said: “Just as observed above, the true intention of the inventors of the proposed amendments to the IHR is not the positioning of the WHO to better prepare to meet the challenges to future health emergencies but to eliminate the international rule on national sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations, eradication of individual right to private life and right to decide what medication one receives for illness and also the dismantling of national boundaries making the world one open place for the WHO and its sponsors to practice their medicine merchandise.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/05/dont-sign-whos-proposed-ihr-amendment-group-cautions-nigeria-others-2/ |
