Family / Re: Trying To Help My Family Member And It Backfired by VanTee20(m): 9:13am On Jul 29, 2023
dare56610:
As a family-oriented entrepreneur, I was excited about the prospect of starting a business with my relatives. We all shared a passion for the industry and believed that working together would strengthen both our family bonds and our business venture.

In the beginning, everything seemed promising. We communicated well, understood each other's strengths, and divided responsibilities accordingly. It felt like a dream come true, blending our personal and professional lives.

However, as time went on, we encountered unforeseen challenges. Disagreements on business decisions started to spill over into family gatherings, causing tension during what were once joyful moments. Emotions ran high, making it difficult to separate family dynamics from business discussions.

Furthermore, favoritism emerged unintentionally, creating a sense of inequality among non-family employees. This led to resentment and negatively affected the overall team morale.

As the business faced tough decisions, we found it challenging to objectively assess and implement necessary changes. Personal biases and loyalties clouded our judgment, hindering the growth and success of the company.

Through these experiences, we realized that merging family and business requires careful consideration and open communication. It is crucial to establish clear boundaries between personal relationships and professional responsibilities. Regular family meetings and defined roles can help address issues before they escalate.

By acknowledging these challenges and striving to strike a balance between family bonds and business goals, we found ways to navigate the complexities. Open dialogue, empathy, and a shared vision for both the family and the business were key to finding harmony and success.

Share your own stories of running a family business, the challenges you faced, and how you managed to find a harmonious balance between your family life and entrepreneurial pursuits. Let's learn from each other's experiences and build stronger, thriving family businesses together.

Sports / Re: You Are Offending The Shirt - Maradona Slams Argentina After Beaten By Colombia by VanTee20(m): 4:23am On Jul 02, 2023
Beverlyjean:


U c the problem with u Messi fans... U are condescending towards aguero and praising Messi...u Messi fans think that Messi is the only player on earth...that others are rubbish... U guys said the same thing about Suarez and dembele when Liverpool disgraced u guys ...the blame was on others apart from Messi... Aguero just won only 1golden boot u say... How many did Ronaldo win in England ?? Or kane?? U guys are just too sentimental...

Do u know that Messi missed a sitter that would HV opened the scoring against Colombia minutes b4 Colombia took the lead...do u know Messi missed a great chance in the first half against Liverpool to tie the game 1.1 but he decided to dribble matip that was behind him so that he could score an incredible goal instead of hitting it one time as he had only Alison to beat...

Messi has won 3 international trophies since we had this conversation. Now, we know who was right.

Botswana frustrating banyana banyana who of course has nothing to lose...both sides are still playing a barren scoreline even though SA is doing most of the work cheesy

If Botswana can beat SA 2-0, SA is out. Unless there is best loser.

When I was 5, I used to tell my parent I was there during their wedding day and I served people food and took care of many things there. Uptil this day my parents are bullying me with these words " you were there during our wedding"

Now I realized kids normally said crazy things! It's normal.

Maybe someone died around that time that reincarnated as you.

I would have taught you how to manipulate them but I don't think you are the type of person.
1. Making the laptop scarce. You have a leverage over them your laptop. You can make them do anything you want or behave themselves like reasonable people by giving them just few time to use your laptop. Make it like one hour in a day. They become zombie or like drug addict who will do anything just to touch you laptop. Making the laptop scarce is like withholding sex for a man he would do anything. Same thing Americans withhold wifi games and T.V for grounded children. You are excersing dominance, making them know Indirectly they can't have fun without your go ahead.

2. Familiarity brings contempt. Reduce the way you talk and complain about what they do. The reason they see you as insignificant is because you talk too much and interfere very well in their life. They are scared of the male not because they see a female as weak, No it is because the big brother don't give them face and too much attention. It is natural to be Revere elders that you don't know.

3. Show em who is boss. Don't beat them or give them punishment. They are young adults. What is that thing that pains a man the most, yes it is his pride as a man. When they misbehave attack their pride as a man, tell them I thought you were matured but you are just a kid, babies with big bodies Tell them only kids behave the way they do, tell them it is about time their mother start feeding them breast milk. This is reverse psychology 101 tempt them to act mature. It works even the devil used this to tempt Christ but Christ didn't fall for it but the kids will.

4. Learn to make boundaries and personal space. Your room should only be assessed by you alone. Make it known if they are to enter your room they should knock, if no one is there they shouldn't enter. Lay rules for them on how to deal with you. rule 1. When talking to you, no form of anger or abusive words to be used and you won't use such on them.
Rule 2. Take care of every chores, if not you will be constantly reminded until such is done rule 3. Failure to adhere to the rules will result to unknown consequences. Make the consequences unknown, it will make them fear.

5. You are the senior buy things for them, like meat pie, shawarma, drinks once in a while. This gesture shows a form of dominance and authority in their subconscious. People tends to be loyal to people who are kind and strict at thesame time.

This is training a teenager 101

So much sense in one post.

Romance / Re: What If A Girl You Don't Like Loves You And Stalks You? by VanTee20(m): 2:06am On Mar 24, 2021

Imagine yourself in this dilemma:

You kind of found yourself in an unpropitious situation. You traveled down to a certain place for sth personal only to stumble upon a lady who seemed cultured at first sight. She initiated a conversation, and also suggested you keep in touch on WhatsApp. You were waiting for your client.


At first, her benignancy made you feel she meant no harm -- there's no harm interacting with a nice person, you felt...even though you sensed a touch of pride and authority the way she spoke. She also walked with a bounce kind of.

Of late, the clock has refused to hit twelve. She has become your hunting shadow. You clearly told her you weren't single, neither were you interested in an affair nor can you offer anything more than a friend.

She wanted more. She proposed an alter ego, which you declined due to some craze she was already exhibiting. She's a rich spoilt brat.

She also suggested you lied to “whomever you are dating” she was your old-time bestie, which you also declined upfront.


You have tried almost everything polite without mincing words. There's no miscibility between you both. You have called her and spoken to her in camera, feigned anger, avoided her..but all your efforts seem to be to no avail.


How do you show this sort of person the nearest exit without being rude?

She proposed an alter ego? What the hell does that mean? Why not write simple sentences and stop confusing yourself? What happened to kindness in the place of benignancy? Do you want to get advice or you want to impress with needless words?
