What would you tell them?

Greetings from me, @destinedhanik from Nigeria to all the members of this group. I'm glad to be here again, I want to appreciate @cruzamilcar63 for bringing about this contest post on what we would tell or advise others. I'll share some experiences, so stay tuned.

Lateness is an attitude of saying that where you were supposed to go to wasn't important, it's a way of saying your own time is more valuable than the other person's time. Lateness has caused many people to lose something valuable or invaluable. Imagine having an exams by 10am and you arrive the exams hall by 10:30, you would be so destabilized that you might forget everything you read. I always advise my students from my own experience. Lateness has made me lose valuable things at one time or the other.

Advising my students on lateness

Few years ago, I registered for a big exams that was to admit me into the university, I arrived the exams centre late and I wasn't allowed to go in so I missed the exams.

I have missed an interview in the past because I went late, and that was how I loosed that job.

• My advise to people who are always late is, lateness is an attitude. Learn how to be punctual to things and with time, you will get used to it.

• Lateness can take from you what you an opportunity you might never gain again, so avoid it.

• Always plan a day before or hours before so as to arrive early. If it's a far off distance, start early. Keep cloths you are to wear ready, punctuality is respected and lateness is despised.

Children are blessings and a delight. They bring happiness and joy to a household. I can't judge anyone who would say he or she will never have a child but my general advice is this.

• If you dint want to have a child, it's fine, maybe because you don't want to be inconvenienced but then, think about the future. Maje sure you have enough resources to tshe care of you in old age because children also support their parents.

• It's okay if you dint want to have a child because for you to have a child, you need to provide an enabling environment for the child. You have to provide the child's needs, from education to food abd other things, so it's your decision.

• But you need to know that children can save as an encouragement whether now or later. Sometimes, when we go through things, our children lifts our spirit and make us stronger. So the decision either to have a child or not to depends on the things you are looking at and the reasons.

Before money was humanity. Yes, it is said that money answereth all things, this might be true but I've also seen situations where a person's money cannot help him in times of needs. Money is important but it is not the most important. There are other things that are also very important. Example family and values. There are times one might need help but because the person never related well with others or never treated others with dignity, nobody will be there for him or her.

I have seen marriages crash because the partners or one of the partner chased money and forfeited quality time with the family. There will always be a clash between money and precious time and the one one chooses will have effect tomorrow whether positive or negative. I have had a case where I had to resign from my firmer place of work tho it paid high because money wasn't everything, why work for money without rest and end up spending everything in the hospital due to stress? So my advice is:

• Money is good, but it is not everything, always have that in mind.

• Do not chase after money and forget your spouse and children cos they might get closer to another person die to the fact that you are never there fir them, and you might end up being lonely and miserable despite your wealth.

• It's not everything you have to do because of money. Some people go as far as betraying their loved ones, remember, money isn't everything.

• Having compassion and love for the other person is better than being rich and wicked. Cos you don't know tomorrow.

• Money is good but when passion is chosen above money, then money will be enjoyed with the passion for the work.

The economy today is tougher than yesterday and it's more rewarding to work for yourself and call the shots than to work for someone from morning till night abd paid peanuts. So my advice to friends who start a business is:

• The starting won't be easy or rosy but dint give up. Everyone who is now at the top started somewhere.

• If you want to gain from your business, never mix pleasure with business, it runs down the business.

• Have an account book so as to know if you are gaining or loosing.

• Nobody said starting a business is a walk in the park, so just as you enjoy the good times, get ready for the bad times, but it will pass away.

• Don't use your business to play with family or relatives cos if they run you down, they will all leave you. Everyone should pay for your goods and services.

• Before you start that business, make sure you look at the area and now it is what is needed there so you don't get stranded.

• Have a very good customer care relationship, this is what will bring customers back to you. This might be the difference between you and the other person.

• Finally, be professional in all areas. Whether dressing, or the way you behave. If you need to pay for skills, do so, the profit will come in the long run.
