ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.

2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority.

3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal.
development.

4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.

5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.

6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.

7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip.

8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.

9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.

10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves.

11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out.

12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs.

13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement..If it means you spend it all holding a remote control watching series on Zee world, expect nothing different after retirement.

14. Start a project whilst still serving or working. Let your project run whilst at work and if it doesn't do well, start another one till it's running viably. When your project is viably running then retire to manage your business. Most people or pensioners fail in life because they retire to start a project instead of retiring to run a project.

15. Pension money is not for starting a project or buy a stand or build a house but it's money for your upkeep or to maintain yourself in good health. Pension money is not for paying school fees or marrying a young wife but to look after yourself.

16. Always remember, when you retire never be a case study for living a miserable life after retirement but be a role model for colleagues to think of retiring too.

17. Don't retire just because you are finished or you are now a burden to the company and just wait for your day to die. Retire young or whilst energetic to enjoy waking up for a cup of coffee, enjoy the sun, receive money from your business, visit nice place that you missed and spend good time with family. Those who retire late, spend about 95% of their time at work than with their family and that's why they see it difficult to spend time with their family when they retire but end looking for another job till they die. If they don't get another job, they die early.

18. Retire at your house than at government accommodation so that when you retire you can easily fit into the society that raised you. It's not easy to adjust to live in a location after spending more years at company house or at government house.

19. Never let your employment benefits make you forget about your retirement. Employment benefits are just meant to make you relax, get finished whilst time is moving. Remember when you retire no one will call you boss if you don't have a viable business.

20. Don't hate to retire because one day you will retire either voluntarily or involuntarily.

Hope this will help you look at life positively

12 WAYS TO AVOID CHEATING ON YOUR PARTNER IN A RELATIONSHIP ❤️❤️❤️❤️

1. Establish open and honest communication: Talk to your partner about your needs, desires, and concerns. This helps create a strong foundation of trust and understanding.

2. Set clear boundaries: Discuss what is acceptable and what is not in your relationship. Define what constitutes cheating for both of you.

3. Prioritize your relationship: Make your partner feel valued and loved. Dedicate time and effort to nurture your relationship.

4. Avoid tempting situations: Be mindful of situations that may lead to temptation, such as spending excessive time alone with someone you find attractive.

5. Be accountable: Take responsibility for your actions and choices. If you feel tempted, communicate with your partner and seek support.

6. Build a strong support system: Surround yourself with friends and family who support your commitment to your partner and can provide guidance when needed.

7. Practice self-awareness: Understand your own vulnerabilities and triggers that may lead to cheating. Be honest with yourself about your intentions and desires.

8. Focus on personal growth: Invest in self-improvement and personal development. This can help you feel fulfilled and less likely to seek validation outside of your relationship.

6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

1. There are many things more precious than money

It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few:
-Experiences
-Genuine connections
-A feeling of purpose
-Genuine concern for helping others
-Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.”

2. Weakness can be turned into hatred

Weak people lack the ability to maintain any level of emotional intelligence. People who lack emotional intelligence and a strong sense of self are easily influenced to hate. Their values and convictions are not based on strong foundations; rather, they are proponents of radical causes. Hatred is a disease that consumes the human mind to the point of no return, causing significant harm to oneself and others.

“If enough people had stood up then come on Kristallnacht, and said, ‘enough what are you doing? What is wrong with you?’ then the course of history would have been different. but they did not. they were scared they were weak, and their weakness allowed them to be manipulated into hatred ” — Eddie Jaku

3. Tomorrow will come if you survive. one step at a time

The majority of people give up because they feel the suffering will never end. They relinquish control because their vision is clouded by minor inconveniences rather than the bigger picture.

“The closer you get to something, the blurrier it gets,” as the saying goes. Be well-rounded, logical, and foresighted. Nothing on it has the word “forever” written on it.

4. You can find kindness everywhere, even from strangers

If you take a step out of your own world for even a moment, you will notice that you are not alone. The most serious problem is that we cannot talk freely about ourselves, our lives, and our issues. You are not alone in the universe. There are people who would happily assist you if you were willing to be vulnerable.

5. One good friend

“The greatest thing you will ever do is be loved by another person” — repeat this sentence until you realise that love and friendship are the best medicine.

I cannot emphasise this enough, especially to young people. Without friendship, a human being is lost. A friend is someone who reminds you to feel alive.

6. Education is a lifesaver

I do not mean formal education when I use the word “education”. Yes, formal education is fantastic and brings great opportunities, but life education is much more critical. Understanding the laws of human nature, being mindful of worldviews, and knowing how to connect so that your voice is heard are all examples of life education. To be self-sufficient and not depend on others for a good life.

You may not be able to change the world because it is beyond your power, but you can change yourself. Change is possible, despite what you can believe, but it requires discipline.

A TRUE LIFE STORY ! !
Pls read my story
Am a 24yrs young lady who was in a bad Relationship for 3 yrs.

When i met this guy i thought he was the one.

His sweet words made me believe in him.

He loved me and eventually i fell for him.

I did everything to please him,i went all out to prove my love for

him, i sacrificed my life for him but he was too blind to see all that.

The best he could do was to keep on telling me how beautiful other girls are, how my hair style makes him sick.

He complained about almost everything in my life.

I started having a low self esteem feeling like am unworthy and

felt unattractive.

One day he made a mistake by calling me desperate.

He told me that i was not the type of girl he wanted to get married

to and that broke me into pieces.

I was in a campus and about to write my exams and i couldn't

study and even wished of commiting su***de but i thank God because he spoke sense in my life.

I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the beautiful woman.

I pulled myself together, studied for exams and passed well.

I graduated last year and got a job in one of the biggest company in U.S.A.

Early this year, i met a gentleman who didn't even want to wait until he put a ring on my finger and right now am engaged and am going to marry one of the best men in the world.

I have achieved many things dat may be i couldn't have achieved if i was still with that loser.

Few weeks ago, he called and asked to see me.

I didn't refuse, i went to meet him, looking beautiful, driving my car and wearing a ring on my finger.

He couldn't believe what he saw.

I took him to one of the best restaurant and paid all the bills.

He cried out and asked for forgiveness but it was too late.

NOW I PRAY:

To someone reading this today,and who will obey the instructions below

Everyone you worked so hard for and neglected you would come back to beg you when your glory shines!!!

Can someone type a big "AMEN".& share this story in 5 different Facebook groups if you believe in God's Power

Don't Ignore

She wakes up by 4am, gives you s*x, You sleep back, she will move straight to the kitchen. She would join morning devotion by 5:30am, start preparing kids by 6:00am, serve everybody food by 7am, take the kids to school and move to her office by 7:30am, go for school runs by 2pm. She would come back to the house by 5-6pm, start washing of clothes and cooking dinner by 6pm. Serve dinner by 7:30pm, start home work for kids by 8-9pm, Shower and meet you the husband in the room by 9:30pm, discuss with you and catch fun so that you will be in the mood for s*x. And you the husband with your big head will sleep like a king, She will get up to check on the children if they are sleeping well, off the light, Start praying for you and the family by 12am -1am.. Sleep a little and wake up again by 4am to start all over again.

It's you who bleed blood every month with severe pains and crams. Even in those pains, you still have to put things together for a normal day. The cooking, washing, etc. It's you who carry another human inside you for 9months. The inconvenience, the discomfort, the sacrifice, and carefulness. You sacrifice what makes you happy just to keep another life healthy. When it's time to deliver, your life is on the line. It's a 50/50 chance for you. You may live and you may die. But being the life-giver you are, you will choose the life of a new stranger over yours. Even the process is not favorable to you. Either the pains of childbirth or surgery. After it all, you still carry yourself up and continue life activities with bandage and pains. But what is miraculous about this all is the smile you put on your face while facing all this.
May God bless every WOMAN out there.🙏🙏
Share this to all the woman you love in your lives

"LET IT GO!“

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you, let them walk.

Don’t you try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.LET IT GO!

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not
joined to you, you can’t make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn’t mean
that they are bad people, it just means that their part in the story is
over. And you’ve got to know when people’s part in your story is over so
that you don’t keep trying to raise the dead. You’ve got to know when it’s
dead.

You’ve got to know when it’s over. Let me tell you something. I’ve got the
gift of good-bye. It’s the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.
It’s not that I’m hateful, it’s that I’m faithful, and I know whatever God
means for me to have He’ll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I
don’t need it. Stop begging people to stay. Let them go!
If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to LET IT GO!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains …LET IT GO!
If someone can’t treat you right, love you back, and see your worth…LET IT GO!
If someone has angered you … LET IT GO!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge. LET IT GO!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction … LET IT GO!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents… LET IT GO!

If you have a bad attitude…LET IT GO!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better… LET IT GO!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship…LET IT
GO!
If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even try to help
themselves…LET IT GO!
If you’re feeling depressed and stressed….

4. Your thoughts are seeds that grow into actions. The thoughts that you think will eventually manifest themselves in your actions. If you think negative thoughts, you will eventually act in a negative way. If you think positive thoughts, you will eventually act in a positive way.

5. You are responsible for your thoughts. You are the only one who is responsible for the thoughts that you think. No one else can make you think a certain way.

6. You can control your thoughts. You can control your thoughts by paying attention to them and by choosing to think different thoughts.

Our eyes met and I felt waves of emotions wash over me:
Sadness, because of how far we have fallen.
Shame for not having protected your heart or our love.
Regret in that I would give anything to go back in time and make it right.
But that’s all just fairy tales and make believe.
Sitting in front of you, fighting bravely to keep myself together…
But failing miserably.
Your eyes spoke volumes of your pain, and I felt my heart break a little bit more with each passing moment.
I would do anything to bear that pain for you, to undo what I had done, to help us find our way back.
Sure, I could have chosen the easy way and just moved on…
But that’s not who I am and not what I wanted.
You were and always will be my person, and that was a truth that I couldn’t deny.
I had tried to fight the feelings, tell myself that I didn’t really love you…
But none of that was true.
You were always the one.
I dug deeply to try to find the words that could help.
I couldn’t.
Taking your hand in mine as I raised it to kiss, I forced a feeble smile.
My voice cracked as I spoke, hardly recognizable as I uttered the words that screamed to get out.
“I’m sorry will never be enough to convey my regret and shame right now…”
Tears streamed down my face as I lifted my eyes to meet your gaze.
“I know that you don’t owe me anything and that your presence here is a kindness that I probably don’t deserve.
I’ve searched all my life for you, and while I know that my words are hollow right now,
They won’t always be.
It’s not enough to make it up to you, to promise to do better and hope for the best.”
No, as I stood before you, humbled and ashamed, I was broken..
But not lost.
Life comes down to a few moments that can change everything…
And this was one of those moments.
I couldn’t ask you for anything and you owed me nothing at all.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Pulling you closer to me, I fought to maintain my composure.
“I can’t make this right nor undo the pain I’ve caused, I know that.”
There’s is a four letter word for forgiveness and it’s “love.”
Let’s turn the page, start a new chapter and do this the way we always should have done.”
I paused as the tears covered my cheeks.
“So if you can find your love for me, grab hold of that beautiful thing and believe..
In me, in you, in us.”
If you can do that, then we will find a way through this.
It won’t be pretty, fun or painless..
But it will be worth it.
Our best is yet to come.
Believe in us one more time…
And our future will be more beautiful than we could ever have imagined.
That is my promise to you.

SLOW DOWN AND BE PATIENT WITH LIFE

If You Are Looking For Wealth, Somebody else Is Looking For Health.

If You Are Looking For Health, Somebody else Just Dièd.

If You are Looking For Power, Somebody else Has Acquired And Used it, And he/she is now Powerless.

Each Time You Drive A Fancy Car, Somebody, Somewhere Is Dying In A Car Crash.

Each Time a New Mansion Springs From The Earth, A New Grave is Dug Below The Earth.

Each Time You Throw Away A Morsel, Somebody else somewhere is Searching For a Morsel To Survive.

Each Time You Throw Food Into Dustbin, Someone else Is Looking For Remnant To Eat.

Each Time You Ask God To Promote or Change Your Present Situation, Someone else Is Praying to Get To Your Present Situation.

For Each Smile On The Planet, There's a Drop Of Tear In Another Place On The Planet.

For Each Celebration Of Childbirth, There Are Tears of Bùrial.

Each Time You Urinate Or Drink Water, Remember Someone Is Using Pipe For The Same Purpòse.

So Always Be Thankful.

Dating is not a Christian concept. It is a worldly ideology that fosters romantic relationships independent of marriage, especially in recent times. There’s not one place in the Bible did anyone date, indulge in talking stages and romantic affair without marriage in view.

Christians court; we don’t ‘date’. The first thing a Christian man should state to a Christian woman of his interest is marriage. Many modern women will find this off putting and cringe, because of the contemporary independence of romantic affairs from marriage.

We are not called to be boyfriends and girlfriends; we are called to be husbands and wives. This contributes to the leading cause of avoidable heartbreaks amongst Christian younglings — getting into romantic relationships without strong marital readiness, or at least, the intention.

Call me old school, but many times old school sustains and brings order. I’m of the personal opinion that Christians shouldn’t get into romantic relationships if they don’t have marriage in view in at most 2 years to come, without the disruption of unforeseen circumstances.

Learn to use your emotions to think, not think with
your emotions. When you boys mastered your emotions, first by agreeing to work
for free, I knew there was hope. When you again resisted your emotions when I
tempted you with more money, you were again learning to think in spite of being
emotionally charged. That's the first step."

To spend your life living in fear,never exploring your dreams, is cruel. To work hard for money, thinking that money will buy you things that will make you happy is also cruel. To wake up in the middle of the night terrified about paying bills is a horrible way to live.To live a life dictated by the size of a paycheck is not really a life. Thinking that a job will make you feel secure is lying to yourself. That's cruel, and
that's the trap I want you to avoid, if possible. I've seen how money runs people's lives.Don't let that happen to you.Please don't let money run your life."

We love people who just.. might like us,
We choose to put first people who won’t choose us,
We like to see people who don’t really see us,
And the world goes round,
Your heart breaks into square pieces,
Squares rooted to the multiple of everything she does that divides your mind.

We are men,
looking for love in the pockets of women’s hearts bruised by our identical,
And we say, I’m not like Bruce,
I’m different.
But we are not mystical.
We are chasing and they are running..

*😃Let's speak FACTS,should we?*

_"When I was young,in primary school. I thought everyone was my friend, in-fact I was convinced to believe that I had it all.The smiles we shared,the joy we shared and not to leave behind mostly the food we shared.Everything seemed fun.But what happened next?One morning I had to wake up from that dream with my result sleep in hand.It was go time.I started to see that not everyone was my friend,'I started to fly with birds of my furthers'.This was the most hardest moment I was encountering for the first time.It was me standing between life and death,trying to choose the people I was going to walk with for the rest of my life._

Lesson:
*Never blame people for leaving you.When people reach a certain time in life they understand that they need to select some few friends to walk with as they go.Which is not bad.People understands that they need to choose people whom they are well assured with that they will get to Canaan. Which is also not bad.So don't be disappointed of being left out,find your crew 'a lion will never walk with a zebra.Make friends of your type,and you will go far.*

🐐🐐 Two Silly Goats Story:

A river flowed near a forest. To cross the river, a bridge formed with a tree trunk. The bridge was so thin that only one could pass it at a time.

Once a wild goat started passing through that bridge. Suddenly a goat was coming from the other side, she also started trying to cross the bridge. Now both the goats stood face to face in the middle of the bridge. Now they started fighting with each other, on the matter of which can pass the river first first. One goat angrily said to the other goat, “Let me go first.” Now the other one said no – I will not move back. I have come so far ahead, how can I move back? Why wouldn’t you return back? Let me go first.

Both goats were fools. Neither of them was willing to go backward. Both of them stubbornly started fighting among themselves. After quarreling for some time they fell into the river and died by drowning.

Moral– Fools always insist on stubbornness and harm themselves.
