1.    Always be truthful to your partner. Never lie! When you are dishonest to your partner, it hurts them more than anything. Don’t lie to one another. Tell them the truth always. Don’t let them find out things for themselves about you or what you did. No need for petty lies or any kind of lie in the first place. Always be truthful. 2.    Never take him or her for granted in any way Taking your partner for granted may include ignoring their calls and texts, not making out time as before to be with them, etc. Never devalue your partner just because they’re with you or because you’ve ‘gotten’ them. Most people are guilty of this. For some ladies, they would think that the guy should be honored to be the one that she chose among the hundreds of potential partners which would then lead to them misbehaving and taking the guy for granted. Never do this. Guys, after the girl has agreed and is now your girlfriend and has given herself to you, don’t disreg...

When I was younger, I underwent several trainings on teaching and handling children. I was a children's Sunday school teacher for at least 5 years. From training, personal experience and research, I learned some pretty interesting things. I have a word for parents and prospective parents. If you want to get your child to do what you say. If you want to get your child to be exemplary, obedient and a kid that you'll be proud of, then you must understand that punishment or threats of punishment NEVER WORKS, or rather, it only works when you're there or when you can discover what they did. Children are very intelligent. If you want to get a child to obey your instructions, the only lasting and effective way to do this is to talk to them and explain to them WHY they shouldn't do something. Give them a REASON. Also tell them how doing differently from what you instructed makes you disappointed in them and how you believe and trust them to always do the right...

Okay, its way past 10 p.m. right now, and today is Monday, 26th June, 2017, an Islamic public holiday here in Nigeria, and here I am, sitting down on my bed thinking and writing about how lucky I was today; about how I narrowly escaped certain death just a few hours earlier. I would have been crushed, literally. I would have been history. I would have been stone dead and lying down on a slab in a mortuary, but here I am. This experience today has made me see a whole lot of things in a perspective that I haven’t seen them in a long while. WTF HAPPENED? So, the day began quite nicely. Yesterday being a Sunday, I started listening to an Audio book on Self-discipline by Brian Tracy. A very nice preparation. I’ve already started taking a whole lot of actions based on his recommendations in the book. I wanted some things to change for the better in my life, so, I was enthusiastic about doing the things he recommended. Well, for starters, I resolved to start my day by listening...

We've all been raised to see all aspects of life as a competition, right from the home to the school. We've competed for our parents’ attention; we've competed for the first position in school, and in several other areas. But the truth is, life isn't a competition. There'll always be someone better than you at something. There'll always be someone smarter, richer, more handsome, more beautiful, taller, fairer, someone that has a more pointed nose, sexier legs, ripped body... and the list goes on. There’ll always be Facebook friends of yours who, as you keep scrolling up in Candy Crush, you'll keep seeing way up there. You keep hearing. Your mates are all married, your mates now have kids, your mates have all graduated, your mates have gotten good jobs, built houses and now drive good cars, your mates have done this, your mates have done that... You always hear, 'Life is a race, the first person to get to the finish line wins it al...

Hello guys, This is something I'd like to share. Over time, I've read lots of books and articles. I've watched lots of inspirational and motivational programs. I've listened to lots of audio programs. I've come to a lot of conclusions, but one stands out, and here it is. There is nothing in existence that can stop a man or woman who is determined to succeed. There is nothing in existence that can stop someone who decides not to quit until he/she succeeds. In all the qualities to get. From all the good habits to adopt, there is only on that never fails. There is only one that will never fail in producing results, and that is GRIT. The determination never to give up no matter the challenge that comes up. What do you think? Let's hear your comments.
