Worth Noting:
- In such cases unless the parents are counseled it is be of little or no importance to discipline the kid as they are likely to follow the example by their parents more than that of a stranger.
- There are people who having not spent a day with you are eager to show hatred towards you. Never bother to befriend them on the same case do not have hatred towards them just ignore them. Knowing they hate you but having no solid basis of what is contributing towards this leaves you at crossroads in search of the contributing factor unless you identify it you could be getting it wrong so better to ignore them to start with as hating them is overburdening yourself with unnecessary luggage.
Do not take shadows too seriously. Reality is your only safety. Continue to reject illusion…..Wole Soyinka.
A wise saying urges that when a dog barks at you do not bother with it ask who the owner is. Had the owner not trained it like that probably it would not have interfered with you. No matter how harsh you can be towards it the chances are high that it will continue barking at you or the owner can send another one and do the same to you.
In a family where children misbehaves presence of visitors never concentrate on how to caution them about their behaviour no matter how the grownups in that family respects you know that they have bad manners and it is them the kids are emulating.
A thorough research would reveal that the kids do not think what they are doing is wrong as they have seen or heard their seniors doing the same with no one taking offence in that.
In such cases unless the parents are counseled it is be of little or no importance to discipline the kid as they are likely to follow the example by their parents more than that of a stranger.

When you fall sick never over rely on pain killers and fail to see a physician as you will just be getting temporary relief yet getting damaged internally.
When you go to the market to buy clothing or furniture and what you find in the display is not pleasing you do not bother enquiring about it from the seller as in most cases he will give you its description and go ahead to persuade you to buy it.
At the end of the day you may tend to buy it owing to persuasion but deep within you there will be no love for it so over time you will be regretting about it. What strikes you in the first instance you see something is important as you will always be attracted to it unless you find faults upon further scrutiny.
Those searching for someone to marry and you happen to find someone single and interested in marriage but you do not admire that person by setting your sight on him do not tease him as you may fall in love do you easiness of the process as both parties are interested in getting married perhaps tired of searching though deep within you that is not your match.
In life time relationship go for what will rarely bore you rather that getting what you do not like them trying to find reasons for justifying your love.
While joining any organisation be clear in mind about what you will achieve rather than doing it because you can see some people in it who you know as at the end of the day you may be left disgruntled as the rest enjoy their lives.
