You just made sure you added Cigarettes Alcohol.

And forgot to add fornication and adultery.

I want to believe OP is a womanizer for ignoring that.

SalamRushdie:
99 percent of people will always be just average no matter what they do

That's a big lie...I can write a full eBook on this but I will just summarize..some of the major reasons people are average because they don't have the right knowledge(or lack the time,patient or resource to find it),and not hanging around the right people..and lack of confidence..they rather pursue nomadic daily routines of life because it is a familiar trajectory

AbuuUthaymeen:
I wanted to contradict you earlier, cos the smartphone through the internet is the only safe community some people have. However, anyone who desires a sound and healthy mind will see reasons to take a break from internet.

The best of the best minds are being hired from all over the world to keep us addicted to the tools created by the big techs. Because it is profits first for all the big tech companies. Imagine like you have scientists with their white overall in labs developing drugs or vaccines same way you have people working day and night to make you more addicted to your samrtphone. They only just wear t-shirt and kicks. Your dopamine is being nudged everyday to keep you addicted to FB, Twtr, IG, etc,. You want to take occasional breaks or do intermittent fast to regain mental consciousness and reflect on your life once in a while.

Albert Einstein predicted this long ago....he said but I don't quote "a large number of fools will depend on the intelligent few to determine their next step/action." Well, may be he didn't actually say that, may be it is my imagination.

SalamRushdie:

True that, the game is rig.

op you no write spending on the other sex.

Zeinymira:
Spending too much time on phone

You mean addiction? Addiction of anything is bad.

But addiction aside, take away phones, the Internet and laptops and some of us would be really broke.

I spend a huge portion of my time on my phone making money.

I drink a lot, I cant drink alone, I buy for everybody I meet. I drank from my secondary school through university to unemployed era of so many years and continued drinking till date. I am married now but used to Bleep multiple ladies. Still indulge rill date. In all, I consider myself "rich". And am gunning for a billion naira then I retire to my playboys mansion and live happily ever after.
Secret of success is drawing a workable plan and sticking to it. I drafted a 20 years plan and I keep surpassing my yearly target before may each year. Despite corona, I have hit my target since march. So no matter what I drink and Bleep for the year is not affecting me adversely. I am unique, I follow my path knowing fully well that what works for A might not work for B. Man know thyself and live a happy life. Nothing is absolutely bad for the body and nothing is absolutely good for the body, know your body chemistry and give it what it deserves, stop copying the multitude. Seek your path and stick to it.

And u told u that u can get 50m with 100 naira.i personally know 3 persons that won big in bet9ja. 10m..17m and 37m respectively 2 of them are in Canada as I speak get ur fact rignt

Atteraino:
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

What many people fail to understand is life is gamble itself....making choices and decision.
50cent said get rich or die trying...that vision did not come to reality by good moral standards...
In power series the theme song one of the verse goes thus " this is a big rich town, i just come from the poorest part. Whether legal or illegal i gat to make it....

What if your phone is your office?

With this beautiful write up one would think Nigeria is the next el-Dorado.

Amazing value at a very very affordable price

kalufelix:
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...

if you are selling rice. no matter the woman you fuckkk in December you go still sell

Not completely correct

am glad it started with OPINION

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 !

I don’t have to read everything you listed there but with the inclusion of alcohol on that list,I suppprt your post 100%.
The worst on that list is alcohol m,it can leads you to many unthinkable or unimaginable things(stealing,womaninsing,gambling,smoking),I am talking from personal experience .It has made me wasted millions of which I just squandered 550,000 naira within three days(only last week) without buying anything meaningful.
I regret the day I started drinking

very apt!! and womanising too

*They will not include dating perpetually, poverty infested Nigerian girls from poor families - with shameless entitlement mentality -who project the insatiable leeching of their broke families to young men.*
I am talking the type of girls who believe a simple ‘hello’ from a young man is an automatic right to begin to request, demand, solicit and covet money and resources!
Girls for whom the possession of a stank pussy is a substitute for sense and virtue!
This my friends, is a major cause of poverty and impoverishment!

tonapuck:
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

That's an exception

Do you know gambling money is part of the money I used to graduated from institution?.. even the whole of my projects was nothing but by help of God and bet. I spent nothing less than 150k on my final year project... I didn't said gambling is good. But there is good in bad.. remember white pap came out of black pot..

That no one is true some depend on using #100 to win millions notice the ones that play big amounts and select small outcomes and best teams they win better and have cash at times(Am not saying you risk all your money o). Some will pack 30 games put #100 waiting for #10 million. All the same all is risk and grace.

I disagree with you on Gambling.
2 of my friends made it real big through Bet9ja Gambling. That was April 2017.

They both won 12.6 million naira each on that faithful day..
Today 1 of them is now a multi millionaire.

Michael Jordan is one of the worst celebrity Gambler I know.. he is Worth over a billion dollars.
