Carrying my own weight. Being responsible for myself. Thinking for myself. Respecting myself. Looking inward. Believing in myself. Doing hard things that makes me respect myself. Loving myself. Treating myself like someone I care for. Educating myself. Afterall, charity begins at home. It all starts from me.

Expect nothing from anyone..

Believe in what you can do.

Never tell lie to please anyone.

Take a medium cost of whatever you do in life.

No food for lazy man.

Meet success like a gentleman.

Determination is the key.

Offline Principles;
<<Honesty is my watchword...I try my best to be honest to people even when it doesn't sound nice/right....
<<<I do not expect a lot from people because they have the tendencies to disappoint...
<<<I do not lend money to a friend, I only give what I can let go... if he/she gives back, nice and sweet, if not, I put it on hold.. if he/she comes back for more, I put him/her into remembrance...

Online Principles;
<<< I don't say extremely hurtful stuffs because I don't know who is at the edge of committing suicide... and was waiting for the right words to do so...
<<<I never ignore when a kid is unjustly being forced into becoming a genius...Or forced to grow up by millennium Parents/ Adults... Most times those kids have no one to put those parents/ adults in-check sad...

My single parent neighbour is really going hard on his son in the area of that last principle of yours and ignoring his female sibling.

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 .

I respect your general life views but when it comes to some relationship advice specifically settling down with career oriented women who are hardworking, ambitious and building with them is what I don't agree with, we all know female nature is universal, same in Progressive Canada, same in theocratic Saudi Arabia, you seem to be delusional and easily misled by smart ladies who coat their intrinsic Hypergamous and materialistic instincts, that if they are not promiscuous already with a facade of conservativism and discipline,a good woman in it's idealized sense has always been rare,but you talk about settling with an intelligent woman who is not to be different from her histrionic peers, would love for you to clarify your position

1- Once your pussy or dick, always your pussy and dick

2- Ain't bo such thing as love when it comes to naija male and female relationship, there's only transactional relationship between two parties being together for their benefits

3- Only lend or give what you can afford to lose

4- You're not loved anyone besides your parent and maybe family, others are just cuz its beneficial

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

You’re a very toxic being and tribalistic. I’m not Igbo so don’t think I’m supporting the idiot that gave you the audience to project your toxicity on Nairaland for everyone to see. You shouldn’t be alive you know cos someone like you should never be called a Nigerian angry angry

1. 1 Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another's home, show them respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your home annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and they cry out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

We are gods, use your words wisely, use your mind wisely.

It is better to be a giver than a receiver.

it's better to listen more and observe more.

Listen to as many wise people as you can, seek wisdom in all its forms, but make sure you are grounded, for me, the bible helps me to stay grounded, and not high in the clouds, so i can accept my shortcomings.

Always seek new ideas, always keep learning, ask as many questions as you can.

Never allow any dream to die, work on every area that you have talents in.

Don't wait for anybody to make your life better, you have a brain.

Respect other people and always try to understand where they are coming from.

Don't trust people easily, many people have wounds, some are brought up badly and it made them very negative and they have accepted that negativity.

Work on personal development, you cannot expect to receive improvements only from people, you also should be able to impact on others, for we are all rivers.

Always control your anger, whatever you do, out of uncontrolled anger brings negative consequences even for you, make sure you have reflected on your Life and make sure that you have control over yourself first, whoever has self-control is better than he who commands an army.

Don't dwell in fear, seek what is above fear, work from a place that is stronger.

Re: What Principle Has Kept You Through Life? by achillesfoot(m): 6:09pm On Oct 28, 2021
Hmm life principles... I have a lot to say firstly as a normal human and then as an disabled person I'd try to keep it concise...
1.. Talk less and listen more.. In other words be ready to be called a fool, take the hurtful words, swallow it and continue. Do not respond learn to turn the other cheek.. It helps.
2.... Learn the concept of time.. That Wayne buys a car doesn't mean Ryan won't buy a car.. It just didn't happen at same time.. In my little lifetime I've seen rich men become very poor and dependent on unemployment benefits and I have seen lowlives buy private jets and yatch...
3...Whatever gender you are on this earth, guard your sexuality.. Infact take this one more importantly.. So many promising futures have been destroyed by baby mamas, child support, divorce, u name it.. People have lost their lives just cos of one night stand, infact you see that shit called one night stand, flee.. I won't start going into sexual diseases etc.. Limit night outs...
4....Friends/family: As important as number 3,they make/Mar you.. The reasons are numerous to begin with, let your imagination create the lessons.
5....Learn to accept failures for they as good as success.. Do you know you can use just 2 years to build what others used 20 years to achieve?? And I also mean medical failure, your body might be failing, you might find yourself in a wheel chair, cry and smile and don't whallow in self pity.. Yes I said cry, African men think crying is weakness, go into your room and cry, tears are designed to make you feel better.. As long as you aren't dead anything can be achieved...
6....Mirrors: Who are you mirroring? What are you putting into your head? Who are you listening to? Religious wise, prophets and pastor's, imams and sheikhs, mentors and the I want to be like you... The question is who are you mirroring? Some people assume they're gays just cos they watch movies or read books and it has tampered with their mentality, likewise crime related books. Now let me say this, you have no idea what people do behind closed doors, as long as you aren't in their closet never vouch for another human being even your own blood.. Social media madness is included.. Be comfortable in your own skin, you'd be tall, short, light, dark, bald, long haired or curly. Accept yourself and be at peace. Don't surgically enhance your body or appearance..
7..... Finally to the other points I have omitted, I believe you all are wise enough to complete it..
8...Dance while you have legs.. Music heals.. Watch the sunrise and the sunset,get wet in the rain, play in the snow, attend family gatherings but you don't have to say anything positive.. these are therapeutic experiences on its own..

Good afternoon Y'all.. Thanksgiving in a bit... My favorite time of the year..

2. See reasons to be happy, let no one determine your happiness

My single parent neighbour is really going hard on his son in the area of that last principle of yours and ignoring his female sibling.

please try and do a little bit of talking... I know a lot of people will ask you to mind your business but just say things like... he/she's just a kid, give him/her a bit of time they will grow...
Sometimes here on line, It's just really annoying watching parents compare kids...Oh my son is 5, he cant solve algebraic equation... Our neighbor's son who is 2 years can solve all algebraic expression given to him....he is 2 years he can't write bla bla bla
