Worth Noting:
- Family size is something that is reducing in the near future compared to past generations who used to have many wives and large number of children but if you are endowed with resources you need not to follow the current trend of majority you can bear as many kids as you wish as you have already overcame the financial hurdle which has been their delimiting factor.
- Once they grow up perhaps with better conditions than those from small sized families it is then the analysts will know that you were right in deciding to increase the size of your family against the societal expectations.
Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky’s the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let’s dance. …………Tom Hiddleston.
Everyone has own wishes mostly to prosper. The society too has expectations on its members aimed at promoting the welfare of the society. Balancing between the personal and societal expectations is a tall order for majority of the people.
A physically strong person is thought by many as a strong tower who can offer security service. His height is dependable. He is thought to be tough talking but you may find some with such a stature who prefer persuasion as a way of transacting.
He may also have cool demeanor even when dealing with the seemingly weak bodied hot tempered persons. Using the father figure in them they can gain a lot followership as many people will take physical endowment as an indicator of strong mentality much as this may not hold to be the truth in all cases.
In desert climate people associate it with thorny trees however there are famers who appreciate this hot climate and invest there by channeling water towards these areas, growing food through irrigation. Since majority of people them are not involved in food production they enjoy huge market locally. If in your assessment you realise it is worth investing you need not to worry about past tendencies by people towards such projects.

In African societies not many men as head of families adopt most of projects initiated by their wives they take the terms of man being head of family in a literal meaning.
Those whose contributor of family initiatives is wife is considered as a man whose has been dominated by wife but if you realise it is the case in your family and the society is aware you need not to be ashamed provided she has better initiatives than you and they are aimed at improving the wellbeing of the family adopt them after all you are not the one who created her or endowed her with such a strong mentality.
Go for progress authority without people and resources you are commanding will just be wastage of time and energy.
Never move from your comfort zone to a challenging situation with lesser rewards to please your friend or neighbour whose believes are not based on anything logical. Look for the greater good of you, your family, associates and the society at larger since when you prosper you are better position to support those in need of your help.
