On life

I have a belief that before you impact something into someone, take a look at yourself and check if you have that thing in you already.
Naturally, everyone is always a pro when it comes to the affairs of others. They seem to know how it should be, but then, do they actually get it right??

The greatest mistake a person can make is trying to align the lives of other people when your own life is in disarray. When you're yet to figure things out, you try to teach others how it's done. Where does that happen??

I also know that a person without principles is not worthy of living. There's something I hate more than a person without defined principles, it is someone who constantly kisses ass. Say the truth, sometimes it is better to be honest than to be any other thing.

Some people don't care about friendship as far as profit is involved. They are the category of people who have sold their soul for a few measly bucks. What's there to gain at the end?

I once said some people are better off as hypemen rather than friends. They will only meet you once they need something and that's that on that. Know the place of everyone in your life.

On relationship

It takes an exceptional level of understanding to work a relationship. Everyone now claims to be a relationship expert and sadly, not up to 10% actually know what they're talking about.

A man who hasn't even figured his own out is teaching others how to figure theirs out, what an irony.
A single person teaching others how to date, is that not just the exact opposite?

My brother once told me something one day and I saw the truth in it. He said "don't run to a priest for marriage advice, it might sound like a good advise, but remember that he's single." The reality in that statement is obvious, you don't expect people with no experience in something to coach you.

Furthermore, what works for one person might not work for the other person because the situations might be different.
I know of someone who teaches people how to have a "serious relationship" yet his girlfriend is in another man's dm begging for his attention.

The sad truth is that some people will listen to what he's saying and be misled and the cycle continues.
You can't offer what you already lack.

On leadership

Now, this is a sensitive issue, being a leader means being willing to follow.
The greatest issue I've had with some so called leaders is their pride.

As a leader, it is okay to admit you're wrong, it shouldn't have to be about who's right and wrong, it should be more of of compromise and common ground and standing for your principles.

It is extremely annoying when some people say that they have to be in a high leadership position to effect change when they could start at the grassroot level.

We can change the world, let's change our wrong mindsets first.

You're so on point bro, I learned this evil of the blind leading the way back in my university days the hard way. Curiosity made me check many of so called New York best sellers authors on marriage and found out good number of them are either divorce or having one issue or the other. Why?.
The same thing goes for motivational speakers too. They motivate what they don't know.
