HellVictorinho9: Reading thru many responses on this thread, reveals to me the obvious reasons why the reptilians invest in so much false education and manipulation. Many are still yet to understand what this earth is all about.Perhaps Karma is useless. Its the greatest law running the earth nevertheless. Maybe death is pointless. thats part of the delusion actually. U see Life, is a different kettle of fish. It cannot be baseless. What if i told u, your real age, is not less than two billion? |

1.Sugar and salt look alike,but never taste the same. 2.A toxic relationship is very hard to quit but not impossible. 3. Create healthy boundaries when necessary without feeling guilty. |

musicwriter:You know, your story touched me. Reason why am a bit cold nowadays. They say I am very selfish now and self centered and Yes, I am and boldly proud of it. I have come to realize that people are users. If you allow them, they will use you, use you and use you until you are left with chaffs and then they will dispose you. Family oo, friends oo, pastors ooo.. all of them and at the end of the day, do you know what they will say? The same old statement - what have you done for us? Have heard this many times from my Dad, Mum, girlfriend, brothers etc and now I am more focused on my life. I roofed my parent building for them to relocate from face you and slap you rent apartment to their own house, bougth them Nissan Pathfinder, did many things, contributed in sending my immediate brother to UAE on work visa and many more and what did I get? What have you done. I am patiently waiting for my dad to alter that statement again and he will be surprised how am going to explode at him. You are a pensioner earning 50k in today's Nigeria and am giving you 100k extra per month aside pumping machine is bad, generator is bad etc that I do fix yet this year alone, he has altered that statement like 3 times saying people always think am the one feeding him - is it your salary feeding you? I don't know why people are so ungrateful by default. Have heard my uncle's alter that statement to my mum after all she did to bring them from village to city and have heard that statement said to me too. It is a crazy world |

See how everyone learned different things? Yeah, life has no manual. You will learn your lessons, make your own "mistakes," get your outcomes, etc. Many things are avoidable, more are unavoidable, no matter how hard you try. |

musicwriter:I'm on this table and I'm still 29. I've been making good money for over 5 years now. I've never had a girlfriend and it never bothered me until recently. I'm doing very well but I've been, and I'm still, looking for more money. I don't even spend upto 30% of my income, though about half of that, or less, is what I actually spend on myself. I feel lost and lonely cos I also don't keep friends |
| Re: 3 Things I Learned Late In Life by musicwriter(m): 9:26pm On Dec 02, 2024 |
emmaodet:There you are! It's about entitlement, they feel that your money is also theirs. And I have no problem with that as an African but someone you helped should at least admit it. One of my bother I sent him to APTEC computer school to study computing, I paid N2 million cash, plus other sundry expenses like books, laptops, etc. The other I gave him money many many many times. I can't even count how many times I gave him money to put into the business he was already doing (I am quite sure he received more than N7 million) not including renting a house for him. Remember all this time, both were living with me and didn't buy food, pay house rent, not even buy soap or toothpaste to brush their teeth. I provided everything. But when things went sour for me, he asked me in my presence: is there anybody you helped? I felt like crying when he said that |

iamonpointa:Maybe you should get married. You can also enroll in online schools. I have studied in US online schools, though I wasn't doing it to get a degree. But if you need a degree you can get it too or just enroll to open university of Nigeria |
| Re: 3 Things I Learned Late In Life by iamonpointa: 10:55pm On Dec 02, 2024 |
musicwriter:What did you study, sir? I don't have a degree as I never went to the university. I've thought about enrolling in an online course, but I don't even know where to start or which course to study. I wouldn't say that I care much for a degree, just the knowledge would be enough for me. But I can't really pinpoint anything that I'm passionate about. I'm into mini-importation business. Things aren't as good as they used to be, due to the economy but I'm doing alright. Even when things were going really well (financially), I've always felt like I'm meant for more in life, even though I don't know which step to take. All I can think of is how to make more money. Even when I know that it wouldn't make me feel fulfilled as a person. My biggest fear is being broke as I don't really have anyone to turn to for financial assistance. One thing I can say that I'd like to improve is my diction and communication skills. Sometimes, I refrain from giving opinions because I couldn't articulate them or wouldn't come out the way I'd like. What advice would you have for me? Thanks for your time. God bless you. |

iamonpointa:From what you've written, I don't think you need more than just read. Just develop a reading culture. I read a lot, in fact, that's the reason I enrolled for the school, so don't do it just because I did. What do I mean to say? I have a history of doing that. On top of that, we have been trained to believe that once you speak English well, you're educated, so I don't think those who've passed through university are better than you or myself. But if you insist, just go on Google and search "US schools that offer free online courses" or maybe "US universities that offer free online courses". It's you that want to study, so register for whatever course you're interested in. You can register for business administration or something along that line. The only difference between you and those who pay for it would be that they'll get the knowledge plus a degree at the end, while you'll get the knowledge. There are many other independent sites that offer that, such as Udemy, Cousera, open learning, Audacity, etc I have no interest in becoming rich, it's really a waste of time and energy at the final analysis. All I want is be comfortable. The only reason I worked so hard was because of my junior ones. But forget about this last paragraph |
| Re: 3 Things I Learned Late In Life by iamonpointa: 1:17am On Dec 03, 2024 |
musicwriter:Thank you so much, sir. I've started reading every day since earlier this year. It's as if my intelligence has doubled since then. It got me wondering why I hadn't started much sooner. Whenever I go out, I buy books that I might be interested in, so I don't run out of books to read. I write too, every day. Mostly about things inspired by what I've read. I'll look into the online courses and see how it goes. What I've come to realize is that I personally don't want a lot, in terms of material things in life, as long as I'm comfortable. I only want to be rich mainly because of other people in the society and family members - both the one I'm from and the one I might create. Though, I've learned to put myself first. Again, thank you very much for your time, sir. |
