Everyone has a principle that guides them in life , some stick to it the entire time while others might break it, learn their lessons and become better at what they believe in.

Over the years one of the Principles that has kept me from betrayal is "Anyone who double crosses his friend/girlfriend debases himself and automatically reduces his lifespan"

Let's learn from yours .

Please feel free to share.

1. My Standard Principle is to Please GOD First. Be a GOD Pleaser not a man Pleaser.

2. Do unto others what you want them to do to you.

3. Stand on Godliness not with Majority. Majority, most of the times are not right. That Everyone is doing it does not make it right.
Be Led by GOD and HIS Word not by Majority.

4. Nothing on Earth is worth trading my soul For. Absolutely Nothing!

5. Absolute Confidence, Trust and Belief in GOD ALMIGHTY.

Keep your expectations low and you shall never be disappointed.

As a Nigerian, you must be as pessimistic as possible. Always hope and plan for the worst.

Hopefully your abroad runs will pay so everybody on nairaland will rest. I even wonder why you returned back to Nigeria after getting the opportunity to leave the first time. No wonder you always sound so frustrated.

Anyway, you are Ibo, so the bitterness about Nigeria na follow come with una. God go do am for you

Have passionate love for nothing ( drink, food,money,sex,sleep,drug,fashion,etc) so that you can't be easily influenced or controlled by them.

1. I try to avoid unreasonably high/optimistic expectations.

2. I mind my business and any other business that is capable of harming my business, directly or indirectly.

3. I believe that what God cannot do does exist. #1 God will not honour His name more than His word. #2 He won't lie.

4. I don't keep caeser's possessions, so I owe him NOTHING.

5. I believe in God and I trust His words. I believe in data but I don't trust forecasts.

6. I don't care about winning the rat race. A victorious rat is still a rat.

7. I avoid competition as much as possible.

8. I believe that no one came to this world with a calender so I naturally prefer to act at my own pace. Your Friday can be my Monday. I will party when you're working and work when you're sleeping. That way, I escape unecessary pressure to act like others.

OK. There's this one that occurred to me: If you find someone in an unpleasant situation, imagine yourself in that situation and do for that person (as much as you can) what you would want to be done for you if you were in that situation.
Give/do to others what you would want from others.
