| Life has a way of Teaching, Taming and training humans. All of these life's teachings could be termed as Life's Experiences and everyone has had a measure of them. No two individuals have the same sets of life experiences in their entirety since no two people have been known to have been subjected to the same sets of living in all ramifications since our life's experiences are how we live based. I've got some of my life experiences compiled. I hope they give you something to think about as you go through them one after the other. In the cause of life, I've come to learn the following: |
My father would always say;
- Make sure you know all there is to know.
- If you want something done well, do it yourself.
- He that rests, rusts.
- Education without morality is like tea without sugar.
- Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
- People generally, hardly mean what they say but women are more so. And he warns; be extremely careful on how you execute women's demands or things they want, your sisters are not an exception.
- As women urinate backwards, so is the average woman's thinking.
- If you are not extremely careful, smart and wise in your dealings with a woman, they'll make you jump into a pit and later blame you for it.
- If someone can take it away from you, then it's not among one of your values.
- Any character, attitude or value that someone can take away from you is not among one of your character, attitude or value.
- Any services you demand in a restaurant are not among their services. Don't make a fuss about anything. Choose whether or not you should keep dining in that restaurant without those services.
- If you have to ask for it, then it's not among their services.
