Here are some real reasons why men cheat => https://www.knowseeker.com/2020/08/the-psychology-behind-why-men-cheat-and.html |
Looking at it from the broad perspective, marrying an older lady has its own pros and cons. But from the cultural perspective, some cultures are somewhat against it, though not directly. In my own opinion, it is best to marry someone younger because of one important reason. Ageing soon sets on women, even faster than it does for men. A woman of 40 could look even older than a man of 45. So I think it is naturally important to factor this before getting married to an older woman. However, socially, there is nothing actually wrong with that. If there is commitment and love, and money like someone mentioned, it can still work. But make sure you read up the pros and cons here |
Ephraimryder:That quote actually makes me emotional sometimes, then I realize anyone can achieve what he truly wants. I'm pleased to meet you, Ephraimryder |
Sometimes, I'd say love does not exist. Other times, I'd say it does. It's not because I don't know what to believe but I've come to find out that there are different perspectives to love. In sustaining a relationship, so many things are involved. But the simple way I define love is "commitment". The butterfly feelings may soon pass away but commitment makes you stay no matter what happens. I wrote a post about 5 reasons why my girlfriend dumped me, and in that post you will learn a lot about why I think just that emotional kind of love is not enough. I have other articles about this topic you just raised but let me stop here for now. |

"All men are cheats, all men are flirts, all men are liars, all men are everything bad". So the very experienced ladies would say. Is it true or just an arbitrary statement from a few women who had their own experiences concerning men's sexual behaviour while in a relationship? The one that shocks me more is when women say they are afraid of male doctors because not only are they too notorious for flirting but are also badly known for promiscuity. However, being a doctor, I decided to write my logical take on this matter. Do you want to know why it seems like doctors flirt more? This link will truly satisfy your curiousity. |
Parents would always insist that they love all children equally. Maybe they say that because they think they are actually fair in their dealings with their children or, they just want to say that to avoid conflict. But studies have shown that many families have parents, either one or both, who show favouritism in the way they deal with their children. The value of 99% may not have been explicitly verified yet but the true values from families that my team and I sampled were close to what I just gave. Sometimes, it is intentional with some factors surrounding this decision but most other time, they are not aware that they are directly or indirectly causing more harm than good in the family. Many homes have disintegrated or less severely been torn apart because of the feeling that one or both parents love one child more than the others. Scholars of the Christian Bible would also agree that a certain son of the patriarch Jacob called Joseph was hated because the father loved him more than the rest of the children. The way you would view this information presented in this post would depend on your position in the family, whether you are the favourite child or the victim child. But whichever you are, you will learn how to deal with it in order to maintain peace with your other siblings and not let your parents get in the way of your unity for their own selfish desires. If you are the victim of this, you should have known how it feels to be seen as the bad egg for no reason other than the fact that you are simply not your parent's favourite child. Your parent's favourite sibling would be free to do whatever he/she wants and go scot-free with it while you face charges for even lesser offences. Most favourite children end up being the spoilt brats of the house, without having to care much about the dos and the don'ts. Most of the time, the favourite child would not even notice anything. They would sometimes think you are just over-reacting to simple things without realizing that you are expressing how you feel you are being treated in the family. Here are some experiences of people who have noticed the favouritism to their sibling(s) while they were the victims. One noticeable trend you would see, mothers seem to display preference more obviously and this may probably be because she is the closest parent. I was just an unfortunate one in my family. My mum thinks I hate my younger brother and no matter what I do, as long as it has anything to do with him, I would always be the wrong person. I was always being watched from a distance as if my parents were envisaging something rash from me. He is actually younger than me but the preference was just so obvious. B.J, Nigeria My younger sister was more like my mum - they were both soft-spoken, mild-mannered and didn't disagree with anyone or stick up for themselves. My sister was content to sit around all day without doing anything much while I had the energy of 10 extra kids. ScarryMommy.com I am a 22-year-old female who was kicked out of my mum's house in early 2017 over a $.50 honey bun. I tried reaching her on mothers' day and left a message after the third ring. But she never called back. I later found out from my grandma what my mother feels. A.N, USA One question you would begin to ask is, why do parents have a favourite child? Mom would claim she loves everyone equally but you as the victim child sees the obvious difference. Before we go on to talk about how to deal with this prevalent possibility, let us see why parents make a favourite child over the others. Why Parents Make a Favourite Child It seems natural to love some people so dearly and hate others so passionately, isn't it? But if you want to be a free person, and minimize trouble and conflicts, you must be deliberate in your attempt to love all people equally or at least, not show that you are not practising favouritism. However, 99% of parents who would let their favouritism get in the way of their children's unity intentionally or non-intentionally, never came across the methods of hiding their preference. Some of these parents have a very rough time while growing up with their own parent(s) too but they just didn't find ways to avoid the doing the same to their own children. Here are some reasons why parents have a favourite child: Birth circumstances and childhood illness Children who narrowly escaped childhood illnesses and who have some underlying birth history are usually considered to be very fragile and need extra protection and care. If you noticed that you are always protected and guarded against things and people you think you can personally handle, your parents may just be considering you too fragile to deal with things on your own. These may extend to the relationship between your siblings, such that, you begin to feel that your parent(s) considers you a threat to their beloved fragile child. They don't care much about you because they know you can handle things your self, or so they choose to think. Obedience to instructions A more obedient child has more chances of being preferred to other children but this does not always follow. Sometimes, the most obedient child may just be the least preferred as he keeps trying hard to please the parent into loving him too, absolutely to no avail. It is painful to see that you are trying to please your parents just because you want their love, but it should never be so. Lack of forgiveness of some past offences Some parents would choose never to forget some wrongs you may have done some years ago. They just want to use as it a justifiable reason to hate you for. This lack of forgiveness is not always the primary reason, there is usually an underlying lack of preference for you even before you committed your wrong. Marital circumstances Do you know anyone who is born out of wedlock and having to leave with a step-mom? Or someone who was born to a man who had to leave your mother without settling with her? The experience is not always interesting, you'd agree. Birth position in the family Generally, the youngest child is often given more preferential treatments in the home by virtue of the fact that this child depends on the parents for safety. Lastborns are most vulnerable but they receive their most support from the elder ones and parents. Almost every time, they become the favoured child, except in rarer cases when another child would. Lack of conflict resolution skills Parents who have poor conflict resolution skills may just be displaying favouritism without even knowing it. Sometimes, they get overwhelmed with conflicts amongst the children at which point they may just settle conflict cases in favour of the more vulnerable or stronger person as the case may be. Conflict resolution both in the home and outside the home entails that both sides of the conflict do not feel cheated or feel as if they are hated. Conflicts, when well resolved bring about more lasting peace among the conflicting parties afterwards, but when it is done carelessly or without the right skills, it can break up people who have peacefully co-existed previously. At this point, I will go on to how you can deal with having a parent(s) who have you or your sibling as a favourite child. Not handling this properly has damaged many families, torn siblings against each other and made newer generations of children to maintain a trend of hatred for their cousins. How To Deal With Having Parents Who Have a Favorite Child If you are a parent, the whole cycle probably begins with you. You must consciously learn to love all your children equally or at least, not obviously show that you love one more. It is okay to have a favourite child but you must never let that get in the way of your children's relationship. If you are the victim of favouritism, below are something you can do to maintain peace and also be happy with yourself; Learn to flow with your parent(s) without causing a stir This may not be very easy, but you would have to remind yourself that you won't always be with them forever or tell yourself that the ills of today cannot affect where your purpose lies. Learn to translate every one of your feelings to positive energy, by obeying your seemingly "partial" parent without obviously showing your grievances. When they begin to make up things to victimize you with, learn to use words or gestures that would turn their heart over without knowing it. Just obey your parent(s) as much as you can Yes, you would become the slave of the house. Having to do everything possible if the other child(ren) so wishes for you. They seem like the lord over you but one thing you must realize is that all of that makes you a better person. It makes you more independent and capable of handling your own affairs. It may try to have a very negative impact on the way you live, think or feel. It may affect how people see you or relate with you. People may hate you or preferentially love your "more favoured" sibling to save their face before your parents but you must not let that get to you. If you cannot stand it, then you must avoid clashes with the people who do not like you because of your circumstance in your family. Avoid conflicts with the favourite sibling You already know such conflicts will never end in your favour as long as your parent has a favourite child. So you must try your best to avoid every conflict with them or anything close to that. Discuss with your sibling about how you feel If you are the older one or you are in a position to do so, sit your sibling down for a discussion and tell them how you feel. This usually has two major outcomes. It reassures your sibling that you do not have negative feelings against them and secondly, it makes you to better handle it when another occurrence of favouritism comes. A story here, of someone who totally mastered handling this issue of parental favouritism, showed how the victim(a lady) even laughs with the more preferred sibling even while their parent displays her acts of preferential treatments. They have obviously turned it into another reason to be closer to each other than being farther apart. Move out of the home if you can If you think you can't handle it anymore, you may have to stay away for a while on your own If you have what it takes to take care of yourself, you should just find your way out of the common home you share with your immediate family, while you visit them every once in a while to check up on them or bring gifts to them. The aim is finding ways not to cause more disunity and so you must always let it be. Peacefully confront your parents if you think they would listen This is almost always not useful though because most parents do not think you are right about your claims of loving one child over you. Maybe they are not intentionally doing so, but if you think your parent(s) would listen, there is no harm in trying to explain to them how you truly feel politely. If you are the child who receives the attention, or you just realized that you are the favoured child, here are some things to do to protect your other siblings who are more negatively affected, bearing in mind that it may have an outcome that may negatively affect you too. Give respect to whom it is due You must learn to respect your sibling and obey them if they are older than you. If you are older than, you must also learn to give them their due respect so that they can fully rule out that you are not the one to blame for all the misfortune. You must realise that someday, you all will disperse away from your parents' home. How your relationship will be then, will depend on your current relationship with them now. Withdraw when your other sibling is actually over-reacting When you think you are possibly going to be the reason why your parents would lash out on your other sibling(s), withdraw from the case even if they are guilty. By doing so, you reduce the chances of them linking your parent's subsequent assaults with you. Discuss with your parents about what you think, if you think you can if you feel you are being seen as the over-protected, more preferred child, you can talk to your parents to reduce how they make the rest of your siblings think so. You can ask them to avoid interfering with arguments, or conflicts involving you and your other siblings. But only do this if you feel confident that it will end positively. After all, you also do not want to sell off the favours you now receive to someone else while you become the new victim. Funny, but true. Parental preference for one or more child is a reality many children have woken up to realise. The outcomes are usually disastrous with loss of family bonding. Newer generations of the family keep diverging away from each other with relatively no good to talk about each other. Efforts must be made to reduce parental preference and encourage universal love as much as possible within the family. Knowseeker Lifestyle |
This post will show you ways to maximize your time to improve yourself. When I was in college, I imagined a lot of things. The journey through secondary school education was one that seemed so long that I thought it would never come to an end. But on second thought, I realized that people have gone through the same school I imagined would never end. And the next morning, it was my graduation. Things we consider long are not really as long as they are. If you cast your mind back to the last New Year day celebration, it seems like yesterday, right? I feel that too. My graduation seemed just like yesterday after it happened. And thereafter, a few months after, I was in university. The final year in the university seemed like a light-year away, long enough to witness my grey-headedness and wrinkling. But little did I know that my thoughts were merely an over-exaggeration of something that would come and go in a jiffy. The cycles of day and night are the constant cycles that distinctly separates days apart, months from the others and years past from the present. However, these boundaries are only imaginary and time-based, in the sense that, each day smoothly flows into the next without any major leap done. More understanding of time is required for you to achieve your fullest with the time you have as a human. You may be tempted to believe that there is a lot of time left but successful people realise that time never really waits or crawls as others may think. In this post, I am going to show you some ways in which successful people maximize their time and use the cyclical timelines of day and night, months and years to drive towards more excellence. How Successful People Gets Better By The Earth Cycles Among some of the things successful people do, is their importance of time management. Here are some things they do to ensure that they harness the rapidly-changing nature of the time of day and night to maximize their potentials within the short time frame they realize that they have; They set the cycles as time targets If there were no clocks and hour-glasses, the length of daytime and nighttime would have been the best and only measure of time. Successful people set time landmarks for their achievements and work ways to meet their timed-targets. For example, setting your next birthday as a new landmark for achieving a particular feat in your life, or giving yourself a fixed target to do something or to complete a task. They do not waste precious time By realising that time is not really as long as it seems, successful people have learnt to discipline themselves to maximize their time for productivity. Twenty four hours may seem like a very long time indeed, but after doing the mathematics, subtracting your sleeping time, leisure time, feeding and resting times, away from it, what is actually left is actually shorter than you will ever imagine. People who know this also know that there is not enough time to waste on frivolities. They would even go on to buy some more time from some activities of the day they would otherwise consider normal, like night sleep. They keep working on themselves each day Every day is a blessing, a new day to learn new things. When you bear at the back of your mind that the next year would come earlier than you think, you also realise that the little things you do today very powerfully affect your future because truthfully, the distance between now and your future is no so distinct as you would think. They look forward more than they look behind them Looking back too much is a mere waste of time. What cannot be repealed or changed should be allowed to slip on as soon as possible. If for any reason, you want to look behind you, it should be for learning some important lessons that you think will be beneficial to your success in the future that is actually like tomorrow. They realise time does not stand still Tick tick, says the clock. Sometimes, one would just wish the clock would just stop for a moment but wishes don't always come true, do they? By knowing fully that the clock does not and never will take a break, they have also learnt to be active and productive round the clock. They take some time to enjoy the present Productivity is maximally enhanced when the body is refreshed in between work. Rest and sleep in controlled amounts are extremely important for your productivity. Leisure like seeing a movie, reading a novel, or going for hiking, cycling or anything you consider refreshing is a way to relax the nerves and rejuvenate your mental circuits. Successful people also know that they must set a time to rest within the twenty-four hours they have in a day because of course, there are no other twenty fours anywhere else. They learn that some things have seasons The earth is programmed to rotate about its orbit and revolve around the sun and nothing is going to change that. The orderly nature of these planetary activities also sets up a natural clock for those who are keen enough to understand it. Seasons are also determined by these planetary changes and that directly or indirectly regulates when some human activities should be done for maximal productivity. For example, successful people know that in summer, some activities would be more successful if they are done at that time than at any other time of the year. How To Maximize Your Time As A Successful Person Here are some ways they achieve their quest of controlling time and maximizing the time they have. Some of them are already stated in the previous section but in this section, I will be specifically highlighting some things you can do to maximize your time: Set daily goals It is not enough to set long-term goals. Segmenting your long-term goals into daily tasks ensures that you achieve your goal(s). The future does not come without today, therefore, you must learn to make your single days as productive as possible. Avoid wasting time for long non-useful discussions Spending time discussing important topics is never considered a waste of time but doing the same talking about matters that are not going to help you or someone else achieves a collective goal is considered a total waste of time. Spend your time with the right people Time spent with the right company is a seed that births your great dreams and ambitions into the world of fruition. In other words, you benefit a lot when you are with the right people, those who will nurture your dreams and potentials. But spending time with the wrong people corrupts your mindsets and adulterates your passions. The first step is to identify the right company. Discuss ideas, not people Great minds discuss ideas and not people. Apart from the hard feelings, someone who is being discussed negatively has when they find out, discussing people and finding occasions to criticize takes the radar off you, such that you forget what you should do to improve your life while you give yourself the comforting excuse that you are not alone in the business of committing wrongs and making mistakes. Be up and doing Do one thing at a time, and you must be caught doing something at every time. Idleness permits that you have a time when you are doing nothing other than thinking about some past events. Yeah, that's what an idle mind does; thinks about the past, how he has failed. Successful minds have idle moments too but in actual sense, these are not actually idle because they engage in thoughtful processes to be more productive and enhance their productivity. Even if it will be your time for leisure and movies, just learn to be always caught doing something. Know when to stop and be disciplined about it The truth is, whether we admit it or not, everyone becomes of guilty of conscious time-wasting activities, some of which I have highlighted above, but you must discipline yourself to know when to stop. Sometimes, you deliberately, but almost uncontrollably overflow your own time limit. At these times, you must be ready to pay for the time you wasted with the time for other activities of your day that can afford to be sacrificed. The ideal thing, however, is that you are disciplined enough to prevent eating into your work time with your playtime. Knowseeker Lifestyle |

Steven Paul Jobs, founder of Apple Inc. "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently, they are not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo, you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify them or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things, they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as crazy, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do." Steve Jobs The founder of Apple Inc was someone who was known for his dogmatic resilience in changing the world of mobile computing and I have come to really loved so much. Though he is gone, memories of his impact in the world keeps making me remember him. Jobs, who died on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, was someone who saw things differently in the sphere of technology. His invention of the Apple II, and the revolutionization of the Macintosh gave way to the introduction of many new products that keeps the world longing for more. Not only did the Iphone and Apple laptops change the world of computing, but these products gave way to the introduction of many other lines of new inventions. Apart from introducing stylish fonts, touchscreen devices, handheld music players(the IPod), the Apple keeps on setting the pace because Jobs focused on one thing; making the computer an extension of the person no matter what it would cost. The quote in the beginning not only motivates me but it also makes me emotional for some unknown reasons, partly resulting for my new-found love for the Apple CEO of very blessed memory. He recounted the crazy, misfits, troublemakers and all such things everyone would consider inappropriate but his point here remains one of the strongest motivation, if seen the right way. "You can choose to glorify them or vilify them" but you cannot ignore them. Jobs is not referring to people who make a difference as the worst criminals. He is not talking about people who are different from the rest of the world around them by being dubious or deceitful. He doesn't refer to the black sheeps as the world changers. But what he meant was those who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world. Do you know why it has to be a crazy idea to think that you can change the world? The world is really a big place, really big. I just kinda wonder how possible it is to change the world, not to consider when it is to be done by one person. That's almost an impossible task but Jobs insists that there are some crazy people, those who are "crazy" enough to think that they can change the world, that can actually cause the change. The world is not looking for sane people who will never see it beyond some sets of protocols of life cycles till death and bye. The world does not want people who are too full of understanding that the world is too large to be changed. Jobs chose to prove geography wrong that the 7.8 billion people spanning over the 149 million square kilometres, can be affected by a single person, either singly or cumulatively. But only a crazy person would choose to believe that. The world is already full of people who are afraid to do new things but the change we all need comes only from those who are willing to cause a change, by thinking differently and doing things differently from the world out there. Have you ever being praised for not being different, flow with the crowd? Be happy about that a little, but you also need to be worried. Have you ever been mocked and rejected for being a misfit, not because you are notorious for some evil acts, but that you are stubborn to pursue what you truly believe in? Never give up. This is the kind of crazy people that would change the world. Steve Jobs, though gone will continue to remain a motivation through this quote to millions of lives including you and I. He also said "I will put a dent in the universe" and guess what. He actually did. And even in the end, I still can't get over the emotions when I read the line again "...because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world actually do".
