Kalatium:
This thread is a Sequel to this 2020 thread https://www.nairaland.com/6335485/what-lessons-learnt-2020

As the year runs out, I thought it wise to once again reflect on lessons we have leart so far this year. I believe that we live to learn and in learning we live.

Here are 5 penned down leasons I became acquitted with this year.

1. Expect the best but prepare for the worst. Planning Is good but only up to a certain point because, more time than not, life does not go according to plan.
Do make your plans, but keep in mind things will most likely develop differently than what you planned.

As Mike Tyson once said " Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

You can't always get what you want no matter how you try. There are many things I tried to accomplish but no matter how I tried there are many challenges I kept facing.

2. Many people are too proud of whatever they think they have , belief or possess and tend to use this criteria to look down on others or fight them . We are proud of our ignorance, proud of our religion or denomination, proud of our tribe, proud of our socioeconomic status .

These are things we did nothing to get. We were fortunate to have found ourself in such tribe, religion, socioeconomic status (poor, rich or middle class) etc.


3. The 80/20 rule:
This is a principle that states that roughly 80% of results are generated from 20% of efforts.

To explain this law further:
• 20% of employees account for 80% of the companies success.

• You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time .

• You walk on 20% of your carpet 80% of the time.

• You spend 80% of your time with only 20% of your friends.

• 20% of Nairalanders deliver 80% of nairaland content.

4. People tend to remember more of your bad side that the good .
You may do many good things but once you do bad, that is where you get heavy criticism irrespective of your past good deeds. You might have been helping someone consistently but the day you refuse, you are seen as lacking compassion or wicked.

I think the human brain has a tendency to remember more bad things than good. I also think that's why bad news tend to get our attention more than good ones.

5. People always judge a book by it's cover. Within seconds of seeing you people have already judge you based on how you appear and project their thoughts on what you are like ,even before getting to know you.

What lessons have you learnt?

Zandena:
Why do you southerners always sad seeing a Muslim northerner appointed in any position?
The same man the masked Directors said is incompetent has piloted the affairs of the agency smoothly without issues for 4 years, and now because you want to scuttle his reappointment as DG, you are now coming up with cooked and fabricated misadventures. Bad belle well done!
Just recently, a husband and wife from the same state were promoted to the position of AIG of police, non of you cried tribalism because they are from south;
Just last Wednesday here, two siblings from Bayelsa were promoted to the ranks of major general in the army (which contradicts federal character) and you never raise any eyebrow.
If the above incidents affected northern muslims, you E-rats would have been crying islamization!
Well done sadists!

Oluwasaudy:
I hope you zoom the pictured of the animal killed aha .... I hope you see the head and what it looks like before coming here to form ITK ... That's not a grass cutter....

Oluwasaudy:
Does this look like the picture in the image
Na wa o

minks:
Doesn't matter what you do, when your times's up, you'll wound up dead anyway.
Death is a natural order that comes to everyone. The only thing you should teach your children is how to be ready when death comes knocking.

legitnow:




History is an academic discipline for a reason, its not there to decorate your ignorance.

Both the author of the nauseatingly irritating and roundly unintelligent piece in today's Vanguard newspaper and the editorial board of that newspaper itself are daft beyond redemption.

Maybe we should accept it as given when a drunkard says, I am a Geordie but I am not English. Or I am a Fula but not Fulani or I am Ijebu but not Yoruba.

Some of you confused idiots with questionable parentage should know this for a fact, nobody is stopping you from going back to your father's people in the Sahel, after all the animal that sired you came with Murtala Mohammed's 2nd Division of the Zoo Army during the great war. So some of you that say you are not Igbo may be right, your father was a supporter of APC vandal during the war of 1967-70. The sooner you change your name to Haruna or Usman the better.

How can somebody from Karnem-Bornu say he is not Kanuri? How come Igodomigodo (Idu) that some of you claim descendancy from are bona fide Igbo but not you from Anioma?

Confused morons! Do you know the title of the traditional ruler of Igbo-Ukwu is Idu? As in Idu descended from Igodomigodo. Maybe people from Igbo-Ukwu are not Igbo. Ndi ara!

QVicky10:
Is there any live stream where the commentary is in English.

seanfer:
Amaechi did the same thing when PDP wanted to use Omangwa stadium for their presidential rally in 2015.... It took the FG and PDP less than 1 hour to remove everything.... So i don't see any obstacle here if those against the Governor really mean business.

Samfloxin:
Why didn't the owner put it in chain
