Baba Ijebu chronic customers won't agree with u
They will tell you, "its the surest way to be a millionaire"

Very true, of course.

This is a very nice thread.

Womanizing nko oo

True.

You just reminded me of someone who didn't want the next promotion because the office he presently occupy, money do flow. He was promoted last year, he was not removed from that office because his godfather in that department ensured he remain there. Now his junior is occupying a position higher than his. But he know care because of the ijekuje wey he dey see on a daily, not weekly, basis.

Walk In The Rain - PASSENGER

I walked the steps of my father today
Worked till I froze and my face turned grey
And all of my fingers calloused and worn to the bone
And I felt like a child in a world full of men
Trying to capture that something again
Strong as an ox but slowly turning to stone
Walking away from this room dark and grey
Smoke hangs in clouds and the old echo plays

And the music is soft
And the voice it is hushed
And the boy he has loved
And the man he has lost
And I walk out in the rain
All over again

I felt the touch of my mother today
Gently pushing me forward again
Closing my eyes but still feeling the way
And I'm clutching at fingers through crumples & creases
I came to my senses it cut me to pieces
'Cause I needed more but I was pulling away
Walking alone with these legs made of stone
I'm almost dry and I'm almost home
Where the photographs smile
And I'm still someone's child
And my place it is set
So I'll stay for a while

Till I walk out in the rain
Like water would stain
And I'm born all over again

RUBBISH. Who Jah bless nothing stops him. Simple phylosophy.

Exc2000:



Good read, especially gambling and alcohol.. if you must drink, only drink at evening or sundays, because alcohol seriously affect decission making and can slowly spell your doom if not watched

Succesfull men start their day with coffee , or cafein based stimulant, the elders use Kola nut, which is also a stimulant, alcohol is a depresant and consuming a depresant in the morning when you need your brain working faster would ultimately ruin you


.

Is there a research to show that successful men drink coffee? Is it a universal fact?

Character they say is the beauty of a woman and money is the beauty of a man that's why every man desires success and a luxurious lifestyle.

Feminist help me rearrange that first paragraph..I don't think men love burdens like that

Exactly

martinmiller:
Character they say is the beauty of a woman and money is the beauty of a man that's why every man desires success and a luxurious lifestyle.

Moreover, few are willing to go through the right part of success in order to achieve it. There are certain things men do in their daily life activities that hinders their opportunity to success. They may see it as a way out of poverty, but woefully, it's the gateway to the throne of poverty.

There are many habits that can keep a man in the circle of poverty. Check them out below.

1. Gambling.

There is no such thing as getting rich quick. Financial success takes time, takes initiative, and requires relentless effort to achieve.

People who engage in gambling are deluded into thinking there is a shortcut to success. A lot of self-made millionaires today didn’t pursue any get-rich quick schemes. Instead, they make a habit of pursuing their dreams and their goals one after the other.

A lot of Nigerian youths believe so much in gambling that they made it a job. They have the believe that a single one hundred naira note can fetch them fifteen million naira. How long do intend on spending before you achieve that goal. Every known successful man today never earned their wealth from gambling.

2. Drinking Too Much Alcohol.

While the occasional glass of wine or beer is fine, drinking too much could reduce your chances to financial success. Do you know drinking too much could affect your memory and ability to think clearly ?. If you can't think and remember things clearly, how do you intend to make a plan for your financial freedom ?.

I'm not saying alcohol is evil but there is a limit to everything in life including the same alcohol. Some men believe it's never okay till they feel drunk. Only a poor man with a poor mentality thinks like that. 1-2 bottles of beer or even 2 glasses of wine is very much okay for a man with a goal in life. It doesn't mean you have to start drinking two glasses everyday. There are times when things are required in life. Say no to excessive intake of alcohol for your financial freedom.

3. Your Type Of Friends.

A wise man once said, Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Those words are absolutely true. Who you hang out with matters more than you may think.

Many rich people today changed their friends the day they decided to make wealth. Make a habit of associating with other success-minded individuals like you.

If you sorround yourself with drunkards and smokers, even if you don't drink or smoke, definitely one day you will see yourself doing it.

You are only going to succeed in life if you surround yourself with the right type of people.

4. Spending Too Much Time Infront Of The TV.

In a success study, it is revealed that 80% of poor people today spend more than five hours Infront of their television screen daily. Complete precious five hours.

Have you ever wondered why the most expensive cars and properties are not putting their advertisements on TV ?. The answer is simple, the people who buy and patronise it doesn't spend time on television so probably they can't see it.

The rich or success-minded people would rather be educated than entertained. They replace TV time with reading, thinking, exercising, or any other form of self education.

I'm not saying watching TV is something not important, but spending too much time on it. Spend more time in planning your map to success instead of watching people who followed their path to success.

5. Thinking Negatively.

Long-term success is only possible when you have a positive mental outlook to it. You can never be successful if you always imagine yourself poor. If you don't believe in yourself, why trying ?. You always have the thoughts of I cannot make it, that's one of the reasons you have not made it to success.

The problem for most people is that they’re completely unaware of their thoughts, positive or negative. If you stop to listen to your thoughts, to be aware of them, you would find most of them are negative. But you only realize you are having these negative thoughts when you force yourself to be aware of them. Awareness is the key.

Take your mind of negative thoughts. Replace them with positiveness. They say a believer is an achiever. Believe in yourself.

6. Doing A Job You Don't Love.

Toiling away at a job you hate will not only leave you stressed out and dissatisfied with life, it could affect your chances at getting rich because you don't appreciate the outcome.

The wealthiest, most successful people pursue their passions, you should consider doing the same thing in your working days in life. Do what you have passion for, work is fun. Passion defeats education, intelligence, skills, and any other advantage those who lack passion might have in life.

Passion makes work fun. Passion gives you the energy, persistence, and focus needed to overcome failures, mistakes, and rejection. It infuses you with a fanatical tenacity that makes it possible to overcome obstacles and pitfalls that block your path.

7. Spending too much.

Spending more than you make is the fastest and surest road to financial breakdown.

You can't be earning a salary of 50 thousand naira and be driving a car that requires maintenance of 15 thousand naira monthly, it leaves you with 35 thousand naira salary. You have groceries and rent to pay the same month with other little things to do with money. What happened to saving ?, What you save and plan for is very important even before the salary comes.

People who spend too much faces a lot of challenges, they have no money for retirement, for their kids’ college, or for pursuing opportunities that present themselves. Spending more than you earn and putting saving on your back creates long-term poverty, with no hope of escape.

8. Ignoring customers feedback.

At the end of the day, you might already have a business established, ignoring customers feedback on your products and services pulls your business down faster than the change in currency.

Fear of criticism is the reason we do not seek feedback from others. You have more chances of improvement if you listen to your customers feedback.

Feedback is essential to learning what is working and what isn’t working. Feedback helps you understand if you are on the right track. Seeking criticism, good or bad, is a crucial element for learning and growth.

Feedback provides you with the information you will need in order to succeed in future and make improvements.

That will be all for now. I hope this helped and educated you on some of the things you need to stop doing in life if you want to achieve success.

See you at the top !

You are 100% right with this , is a reminds message , but for the Wise one not for the fools

What a beautiful write up but I think one thing is excepted and it is mostly the important of em all. Dunno if the writer has it as an habit, well even if you do I believe you should adjust. Womanizing doesn't put you in a state of poverty but puts you in an abject poverty.. fear women. I rest my case. Tanku.

I could agree with you except gambling....you only look at the loosing side of it....gambling is mathematical....if you dont study you cant win except u dwell in luck....
E.g read more about casinos in las vegas then you will understand how much government take gambling as a serious business there....

AbuuUthaymeen:
A good thread.

To make the points more compact, I will add that for success, you should know: success never comes through material wealth, but can be achieved through it. Success is that thing that gives you fulfilment and happiness.

To never remain poor, you should know that: wealth follows value. If you will be wealthy then you have to help society get something it needs at scale and you will be rewarded bountifully.

Word! Many of the current generation now mistake materialism for wealth and sadly the media is not helping.

Value systems and reorientation needs to be drastically done if we're to make a headway

I have read a few units of self help books. there's no template for success anywhere. follow your path is my best advice.

ubyways:
Good write up, and also any man who discipline himself against women avail himself 50% chances of being successful.

This particular one has really helped in this life. I have no time for women. I don't spend nothing on them. Don't invite them to my house. Just come back from work, watch TV and sleep. This has really helped me to build my life.

Just be disciplined and do almost everything in moderation...seek God's wisdom and His grace upon you. Different people make it through different means in life..

God bless you Bro. You're in the same line with me. am not ashamed of what i do. Ofcourse i do lose. I do win as well

Zeinymira:
Spending too much time on phone

You must be joking. It depends on what the person is busy doing. If you're doing online business, more time spent is converting to money

Exactly the things I don't do...I don't spend time around anyone who has nothing to offer both upstairs and downstairs...

Also pay attention to the woman you fuccckk and the series of events that follow each time you mount her... I know many will not believe...

that's very true
