olabrinks:I must not fail to commend the OP for this great list. But let me quickly add: Always break you dreams into smaller daily target and work with a team. Learn to delegate duties, it will ease stress. Learn emotional intelligence and how to manage people. It will take you far in life. Learn from other people's experiences (OPE), and also learn to make more money with other people's money(OPM). You will not live long enough to make all the mistakes and learn from it, nor will you live long enough to make enough money to invest in your dreams. But ensure you compensate adequately, so you will remain in business for a long time. We will also render free legal advisory services. You can check our profile for info. |

*23 Words of Elders You Don’t Know That Are Useful and Beneficial to You* 1. “Beware of the naked person who offers you clothes! 2. “When one’s goat get missing, the aroma of a neighbor’s soup get suspicious”. 3. “The future belongs to the Risk takers, Not the Comfort seekers!” 4. “A deaf husband and a blind wife are always a happy couple!” 5. “The first person you think of in the morning, or last person you think of at night, is either the cause of your happiness or your pain!” 6. “Be careful who you trust! Salt and Sugar are both white!” 7. “Kindness is like butter, it works best when you spread it around!” 8. “The walls don’t only have ears, they now see!” 9. “Sometimes, you have to play the role of a fool to fool the fools who think they are fooling you!” 10. “If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been!” 11. “A harsh man tells a woman to stop talking, but a wise man tells her that her mouth is extremely beautiful, when her lips are closed!” 12. “No matter how long the night, the day is sure to come!” 13. “A woman’s greatest perfume is the fragrance of her man’s success!” 14. “A wise person knows that there is something to be learned from everyone!” 15. “It requires wisdom to understand wisdom. 16. The music is nothing, if the audience is deaf”! 17. “None of us is as smart as all of us. Work together to achieve!! 18. If you cannot be a bridge to connect people, then do not be a wall to separate them. 19. If you cannot be a light to brighten people’s good deeds then do not be darkness covering their efforts. 20. If you cannot be water to help people’s crops sprout, then do not be a pest destroying their crops. 21. If you cannot be a vaccine to give life, do not be a virus to terminate it. 22. If you cannot be a pencil to write anyone’s happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove their sadness. 23. We can always be each others keeper* |

My top rules; Praying without ceasing... Hearing Gods voice concerning key choices in my life..... I learnt that the fastest one sometimes don't win the race.. Strongest warriors does not always win the battle... The wise sometimes goes hungry.. and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives... Na who God help be the Koko... May God say Amen to all our dreams and aspirations. |

Let me add too. Respect anyone who reads more than you. He knows better or stand a chance of knowing better. Never fight someone wiser than you, no matter how strong, you are bound to loose. A problem shared is not always half solved, it may become more complicated depending on who you are sharing with. When people gossip about you, don't feel bad, you're in the right company. Great Men have great gossipers. Back bitters stays at the back, that's why they call them so, if you keep hearing what they say behind you, check your position. Where are you? Are you at the back too? Always keep your conscience intact, do what is right even if you are the only one doing it. While saving for the tomorrow, enjoy today too, what you enjoy is with you, the future may not feature you, you don't have a guaranteed say over your life span. If you don't want to hurt people, if you want to please everybody, stay out of leadership. The device that sets standard doesn't tolerate error. A table ruler must run from the slightest edge break if it will still rule a perfect line. |

1. Make your own rule and be the law, what works for others, might not works for you. 2. That people want you to succeed doesn't mean their advice is the best for you. 3. Dream and dream big, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. There's power in dreams that drive us. 4. Don't be "Jesus" for anybody, you're not here to die for people. 5. Believe in something, even if it's in sand or yourself, there's power in belief, it works most of the time. 6. Nobody loves you more than yourself, not even "God", if your doubt, ask "Him" to trade place with you. 7. You're just another being, that is, don't ever think you're special, like specially created by "God", nah, you'll be shocked when things stop/don't go your way. 8. Life is not fair, that you're poor today doesn't mean you'll be rich tomorrow. 9. Enjoy your life while you can, it's the only thing you have power over. 10. Grace and Luck is REAL. |

Social skills are important dear, but depends on your profession and how far you want to go in life. If you are ever selected to lead, or you start a company, or you become a manager, you will know that social skills are essential. Failure looms in these aforementioned circles without them.

1. the lion is the king of the jungle, not by size but by heart. Dare the impossible. Do the incredible. 2. One fundamental law of nature is giving. You must give out, to eat some more. Breath out to breath in. It is the pinnacle upon which rests the unending circle of life and living 3. When you speak, you are only repeating what you already know. but if you listen, you might learn something new. 4. The rich takes pleasure in what the poor wouldn't touch. 5. He is old, no matter how young, that reads not. He is young, not matter how old, that does. 6. When life throws you lemon, make lemonade. For it is not the water around the ship that sinks it, rather, it is the water that gets in. 7. The mind is man's greatest gift. Second only to time. 8. It is better to die standing than to live on your kneels for the rest of your life. 9. When you heap dung, it stinks. but when Spread, it makes things grow. Don't hoard, for the lot of the stingy man rests within the Beatle eaten yam though its frame still looks fresh, 10. if you don't leave for one thing, you die for everything. 11. Books are to the mind, what exercise is to the muscles. 12. Don't be averse to challenges for how else can the gold acquire its glow if not through the furnace? 13. To be a good leader, you must first be a good servant. 14. Salaries might bring some comfort. but only your ideas can bring you wealth and real freedom. 15. If you don't build your dreams, others would pay you peanuts for you to help build theirs. 16. Finally, don't step down from your bed each day without a little prayer and a daily plan. You would lose the day if you do. |
