I never understand the words of my mother while i was growing up, she once told me, marry a woman that loves you not the one you love if you want to live long in life, in my mind i don't like her advice, why would i leave someone i love to marry someone who loves me but as life goes on, i realise she was right, it is better to marry someone who loves you so you can have a peaceful days and when the home is peaceful, the man tends to live long and have a sane mind to carry out his responsibility as the head...
I realize when a woman is in love, they go miles to make their husband happy, they pray for his success and also cross the deepest part of the ocean with him, staying with a woman who loves you gives you the confidence to fight every and any battles that comes your way knowing you have a superwoman beside you that will always come to your rescue.......
My momma was right after all!
She also advice me against keeping much friends, i also don't like this cos i was like life will be boring without friends, but as time goes on, i realize the truth in her words of wisdom, Friends can make ways for you and some friends can also be an obstacle to your way to the top.. This is why we need to be selective with the kind of friends we make, ten is a crowd, two to three friends that share the same goal with you is enough... Don.t make friends with drunkard because they will influence you and turn you to a drunkard, don't make friends with those who love to party for you shall come to poverty while buying clothes and drinks and having other funs partying around! Instead make friends with goal getter, people who are more concerned about how to improve their asset, business oriented people, remember the kind of friends you make will determine what you become.. Choose wisely when making friends....
My momma was right after all!
She also told me to always put my family first in everything i do, oh well blood is thicker than water, i understand this her advice well enough, during the sweet moment, friends will flood around you to enjoy with you but immediately everything went down and you have nothing anymore, Friends will leave you and the only one you will see right in front of you are your family smiling right at you, no matter what happen they will never leave you, so take good care of them when you have it all cos they are your bedrock ... Family remains the strongest of all bond, nothing ever changes the love they have for you...
Thank you momma for your great advice, it is helping me live a good life!
