True that. I watched a video of an American oap talking about Jay-Z. He said JayZ keeps getting richer and the same time he is wearing less designers. Wealthy people don't need to prove anything to anybody, their wealth simply speaks for them.
Warren Buffet still prefers to live in a 3 bedroom apartment.

As old as u are you can't buy a house � at agege, mower continue spending

SeaTrade:
The only reason a lot of people end up miserable,suicidal and feeling unacomplished is not because they aren't earning enough or aren't doing well,but solely because they want to live a lifestyle that their income can't support to impress people who shouldn't matter.
You can still live a good life in good Areas of ikotun,surulere,yaba and Co...
And why should any right thinking human pay N5.1m for rent?
It's not class,it's not nothing but pure stupidity!!no excuses.
How much be duplex for that same island?3 bedroom terrace kpata kpata N50m,and you are throwing 5.1m to rent house,craze!!!
Personally I use bank money to finance rents for my work spaces/facilities and pay installmettally over a period of 1 year every damn time because I don't want to waste time value of money on useless things such as rent,neither do I want to lose even an inch of purchasing power because of it.
Many people need finance education for real.

Your lazy government will keep adjusting the economy to steal your sweat. The earlier you understand this, the better.

Hello folks

I don't know if it is the food and strong immune...maybe...they are researching it.
For real, I don't really think there was ever COVID-19 in some parts of Africa eg Nigeria.

Right - trying to get similar food by buying organic - money grabbing. For example - I buy organic brown egg because I just don't understand the taste of White eggs.

Kobojunkie:
Imagine the delusion that is strong with that one... even going as far as to believe one can't compare an elderly person abroad with an elder Nigerian...

The one that got me was the claim that cancer is linked to processed foods...I remember well hearing that ridiculous myth back when I was in JSS2 in the 90s. To hear it repeated online by an adult, took me aback!

OkpaNsukkaisBae:

DissTroy:
If it were up to me alone, I'd binge-watch a playlist of documentaries on YouTube but my lady wouldn't have any of that so we'd be attending church together.

Apparently praying together for the new year is "powerful" and "effective", and I don't think it's wise to argue with your woman on something so trivial when it's completely avoidable. Attend church? No problem.

Starhearts:

Never to relied on anybody's promise.

To carry my cross alone.

Never sale sell goods on credit to keke riders ( Keke parts ).

This thread is a Sequel to this 2020 thread https://www.nairaland.com/6335485/what-lessons-learnt-2020

As the year runs out, I thought it wise to once again reflect on lessons we have leart so far this year. I believe that we live to learn and in learning we live.

Here are 5 penned down leasons I became acquitted with this year.

1. Expect the best but prepare for the worst. Planning Is good but only up to a certain point because, more time than not, life does not go according to plan.
Do make your plans, but keep in mind things will most likely develop differently than what you planned.

As Mike Tyson once said " Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

You can't always get what you want no matter how you try. There are many things I tried to accomplish but no matter how I tried there are many challenges I kept facing.

2. Many people are too proud of whatever they think they have , belief or possess and tend to use this criteria to look down on others or fight them . We are proud of our ignorance, proud of our religion or denomination, proud of our tribe, proud of our socioeconomic status .

These are things we did nothing to get. We were fortunate to have found ourself in such tribe, religion, socioeconomic status (poor, rich or middle class) etc.


3. The 80/20 rule:
This is a principle that states that roughly 80% of results are generated from 20% of efforts.

To explain this law further:
• 20% of employees account for 80% of the companies success.

• You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time .

• You walk on 20% of your carpet 80% of the time.

• You spend 80% of your time with only 20% of your friends.

• 20% of Nairalanders deliver 80% of nairaland content.

4. People tend to remember more of your bad side that the good .
You may do many good things but once you do bad, that is where you get heavy criticism irrespective of your past good deeds. You might have been helping someone consistently but the day you refuse, you are seen as lacking compassion or wicked.

I think the human brain has a tendency to remember more bad things than good. I also think that's why bad news tend to get our attention more than good ones.

5. People always judge a book by it's cover. Within seconds of seeing you people have already judge you based on how you appear and project their thoughts on what you are like ,even before getting to know you.

What lessons have you learnt?
