RomanceRe: I Love The Analogy Used Here.. by unkledavid(op): 9:54am On Dec 16, 2016
Will you get yourself a shoe that's got high-grade specs, stylish and more.. Knowing fully well that it isn't your size and it isn't gonna suit you?.

Still you'd love to get it because it looks handy and stylish and it goes well with all you put on.. Only if it fits.

Again, you didn't address my first and second question. Please address them.

What's the use of an ugly, off-colour, second-hand shoe, that doesn't match any of your clothes, but sizes you perfectly? With a shoe that isn't your size, you could wear them with shoe pads, but with ugly, off-colour shoes, there is nothing you can do about them.

The problem you are making is that you are privileging shoe size over other equally important qualities, when actually, they are all important criteria that should be considered when buying shoes.
Lol.. There are other very important qualities but always the shoe size is the determining factor.

I don't know much about shoes; if it's got good specs or not.. But I do know the shoe size is the determining factor. All things considered tho.

"you get married to someone and after a couple years you'd love to try another person.. Reason 'cause you've gotten so used to the first.. You'd wanna try-out a new feel".

Before you get yourself a shoe of worth, I'm pretty sure you do consider your options. There ain't nothing in life that lasts forever.

I don't think it's the determining factor. The nature and value ascribed to the shoe based on it's look and quality, is also as equally important as the size. If size is the most determining factor, then people won't need to buy 10,000 dollar shoes in exotic boutiques. They'd just buy aba made, second hand shoes for 800 naira and go home happy. But that's not the case. Why is this so?
What's the use of a ten thousand dollar shoe you bought from an exotic boutique, that isn't your size?. The other factors are quite good but many-a-time and often.. They'll tell you "if the shoe doesn't fit, you don't buy".

Even if one buys a shoe that is his size, there will come a time when he'd get tired of wearing the same shoe everyday, and he'd need a newer, fresh smelling, more matching one. What's he going to do then?

You also said that in this kind of shoe purchasing enterprise, one doesn't need to try the shoe before wearing it. Why is this so? Would you mind elaborating? Isn't it wiser if someone tested a product before buying it?

Lastly, is the shoe size actually the most important quality to consider when buying a shoe? Your article sort of places it at the fore and above all other qualities like colour, it's subjective attractiveness, and the matching quality. I like to think that these variables are equally as important as it's size.
The shoe size isn't the most important quality to consider when buying a shoe, but the shoe size happens to the determining-factor. No matter how good a shoe happens to suit your taste, if it isn't your size.. It counts for nothing.
RomanceI Love The Analogy Used Here.. by unkledavid(op): 8:03am On Dec 16, 2016
I love the analogy used here...

"MARRIAGE is like a shoe. When you wear oversize, be ready to drag it along through out life, and when you wear under-size be ready to feel the pains through out life".

One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or how stressful it is. That is why I thought it necessary to write you this letter.

Dear Singles, When you are ready to buy your own shoe please take note of these three things:

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE : Do not look for the beautiful ones, the nice ones or the cheap ones. Look for the one that is your size. Not every handsome, wealthy or intelligent guy is for you, not every beautiful woman is for you. Look for the one that is meant for you, the one that aligns with your values and belief, the one who you meet at your life's journey. It is important to know where you're going in life before you think of getting a wife.

POSITION : All sizes of shoes are not placed in the same place. There is a place for court shoes, laced up shoes, sport footwear, snickers etc. We have Children sizes, young people's sizes and the adult sizes. Know where to get your own shoe. Your size cannot be everywhere my brother, your type cannot be everywhere my sister. You cannot be a Christian, and be looking for a wife material at a club. Your wife or husband can't just be everywhere. Stick to your values and therein you shall find someone like you, but when your values are not defined anyone can just match you. Discover yourself and define your values.

PERCEPTION : In this kind of shoe purchasing enterprise, you are not permitted to try the shoe before you buy. This is why it is important to seek guidance and counseling, from people who have bought shoes before or are into the business of directing people to the right shoes (Pastors and Relationship coaches). And most importantly to avoid much time wasting time, simply consult the SHOE MANUFACTURER to tell you your size (GOD ALMIGHTY ).

"You do not prepare for wedding, you prepare for marriage." Ladies these days get so motivated when they attend wedding and they will quickly want to say yes to that guy.

Wait!!! It is not just the wedding oh. The wedding is just one day. After the wedding WHAT NEXT?

Finally, it is not something you rush to the market and just pick a shoe because you like or can purchase it. Ask questions -Where is this shoe made from? (Background) -What's the size (Values) -How much (His/Her interest) -How long will it last (His/Her Character) -Who made it? (Is she/He of the same faith This is compatibility) -Will it match me? (This is whether he/she love you and will accept you the way you are)

Dear one, remember many are dragging their foot and they would hardly reach their destinies, many are feeling endless pains and wish they could pull off the shoes but no way!!! I have seen people with beautiful shoes and when they show you their foot, you will see scars.

Beloved, it is not about the physical, it is the size, you can't know the sizel from afar so come close, build a relationship first but remember 'you are not permitted to try it before you buy it'.

And for those who have purchased the wrong shoes, you can still make it your size again if you'd consult the manufacturer and let Him have His way in your marriage. God bless us all.

I got this write-up from a friend on facebook, share with someone you think needs such.
RomanceRe: What Lesson Did Your Last Relationship Teach You? by unkledavid: 12:10pm On Dec 14, 2016
In a relationship,there are a lot of consequentials and there's no playing it safe.

And the best kinda relationship is one where you court someone you've being good friends with.

If it works;cool stuff..and if it doesn't;cool stuff still.

Come on! Such philosophy cannot take you anywhere. Only conceited people holds such a whack principle, because they are always full of shenanigans themselves.

Embrace altruism and conscientiousness. . . Giving in your best without greed and dominance, and being a realist at the same time without allowing a bullshit under any sentimental guise. Just imagine the feeling of walking out from a meaningless relationship happily, all because you know within yourself that you gave all your best but didn't lose anything yet.
..

Knowing how good a person you are,all these so-called relationship lessons happen to be fun stories you'd tell someday.

I like your comment,I had to add a couple stuffs.
EducationWhen Tomorrow Starts Without Me,this Much I Know Is True.. by unkledavid(op): 8:33pm On Dec 13, 2016
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn’t cry
The Way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you will miss me too

When tomorrow starts with out me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And That I would have to leave behind
All those I Dearly Love

But When I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When GOD looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne

He said This Is Eternity
And All I promised you
Today for life on earth is done
But Here it starts a new

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And Since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past

So When Tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we’re apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I’m right here in your heart.

David M Romano.

When tomorrow starts without you and life is done for,what is it gonna be?.

edebemba:
We don't need to panic because l am certain that the NCC will soon reverse it's decision. When data sales begin to drop the telecommunication companies will start to complain to NCC because they have wages, taxes and contractors to pay. That is the major reason why the companies are giving out bonus and other mouth-watering promos to increase sales. So relax and pretend as if nothing is happening. NCC wants to test our reactions.
Besides,they might not increase the prices of some data plans,just a necessary few;so I presume.
