Worth Noting:
- A visit to a consultant especially a counsellor you will realize that some of them despite being friendly have not given the solution which seems favourable to you and this may tempt you to look further until you find someone who says all that resonates well with what you would wish to hear but upon practicing what you have been advised.
- You find that the sweet idea is putting you in a worse situation that you were before while the seemingly harsh advise is helping you to come into terms with reality rectify the mistakes that you have been doing before and chart a good path for a progressive future.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work……Thomas Edison.
Most parents do not feel amazed by the success of their children as other parties do. It is not hard to find a senior member of society in terms of status being underrated by his or her parents simply because they just see him as the naive kid they brought up.
He may be a great linguist but his parents would argue that they are the ones that taught him the language he is respected in, the memories while raising him up will be given great consideration by them.
If he is a professor many parents would rarely refer to him by such a title, they would call him by the name they gave to him upon birth and would often remind him how they brought him up including how they used to bath and cloth him and how silent or nagging child he was. To them they would focus on the gift as when it was presented to them by the maker.
A 16th-century line by William Shakespeare all that glisters is not gold generally means that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so. Do not be deceived by the external appearance of anything until you examine to find out what its contents really are.
A look at rexine products which is a chemically manufactured waterproof fabric you could be deceived by its looks compared to that of leather and think that the former is superior but upon using it for quite some time you will realize that it wears out quickly, not as flexible and strong as leather.
Most conmen are cunning they dress well and speak as if they are much caring should you just use face value. you could easily get trapped by majority of them as you would not examine the hidden agenda in their mannerisms.
Jointly doing business with them or getting married to them would do to you more harm than good that is why you could find most of those they have transacted businesses with them in the past trying to avoid them at all costs as they know how injurious it is to deal with such people.
A visit to a consultant especially a counsellor you will realize that some of them despite being friendly have not given the solution which seems favourable to you and this may tempt you to look further until you find someone who says all that resonates well with what you would wish to hear but upon practicing what you have been advised you find that the sweet idea is putting you in a worse situation that you were before while the seemingly harsh advise is helping you to come into terms with reality rectify the mistakes that you have been doing before and chart a good path for a progressive future.
There are many parents who over pamper their kids more so the last born rendering them to think as if they are little babies whenever they are in close proximity to their parents.
Such mentalities lead to dangerous living as the society will just treat them normally leaving them disadvantaged as that is below their expectation hence demotivating them leading to poor performance and at times they may go back to their parents and at times become bothersome to them.
Listening to how their parents present them you may think they are well grounded individuals only to realize that they are still dependent in their decision-making processes.
In an estate or establishment never ignore anyone as the one seeming most junior may be the most crucial for example a gateman has a lot of information about who enters and exits a certain locality, what is in the area and could give you important leads of what happens in your absence. A first-hand information from them is likely to be unbiased mind you they see you as their senior in terms of status.
In a household set up a house boy or a house girl may inform you of meetings in your house perhaps with intention of manipulating you. Any information from them may save you from risks especially where your partner in marriage have been involved in under dealings in your absence.
Judge everything after carefully examining it so as to avoid regrets due future revelations of something important in it that you could have overlooked.
