20 important relationship rules that are often ignored

1. Be Honest.

Be nice, but be honest. Trust is vital. Trust is gained through honesty.

2. Compromise.

There’s a complexity to compromising. With gender roles ever evolving it’s important to recognize it’s not about who wears the pants. It’s about balance. Compromise is an inherent part of a relationship. You will have to sacrifice in a relationship. That’s the nature of relationships. If you want your way all of the time, stay solo. It’s about finding a healthy balance in compromise. Both people in a relationship must understand that necessity of compromise and sacrifice in a relationship to make it work.

3. It’s healthy to argue.

It’s healthy to bicker. It’s not healthy to have screaming matches. Some couples brag about “never fighting.” That’s nothing to brag about. It probably means that one of you is holding something in.
4. It’s not your job to fix the person you love.
You can’t fix them. You can only help them fix themselves. You can’t resolve their work issues or wipe away all of their insecurities or get their parents back together. All you can do is be there for them and help them through it. Getting frustrated about your inability to fix your partner will agitate their struggles and strain your relationship.

5. Understand your significant other’s background.

It is important to recognize the person you’re with has not always been that person. They’ve gone through things to make them that person. Appreciate and understand their past. Put them in context. Maybe he doesn’t express his feelings because his family is not particularly expressive, or maybe she is so insecure because her ex was very critical. Be conscious of this.
6. Do not underestimate the power of thoughtfulness.
Listen. Pay attention. There is nothing more meaningful or memorable than mentioning something in passing and then having your partner bring it back up later.

7. Do not limit expressions of love to grand gestures.

It’s impossible to keep up. Fancy dinners or luxury vacations are wonderful, but love does not have a dollar value. If given the option between a weekly sunset walk or an annual vacation, the majority would pick the weekly walk. Money does not show love. Gestures show love. A free gesture also holds value.
8. Take all advice with a grain of salt.
Rule #13 stands, nobody knows your relationship. Advice/tips can help, but only you and your partner know what’s right for you and your partner. Don’t take any outside material as an absolute truth.

9. Research.

If you have a relationship question or need advice, the internet/books can be helpful tools. There is nothing wrong with getting some perspective and advice from outside sources.

10. Value each other’s interests.

If you have different interests, which is perfectly fine, make sure you value what their interests are. Even if vintage airplanes or nail art don’t interest you, do your best to pay attention and have respect for what your partner likes.

11. If you are not getting something you need, ask for it.

Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need. Your partner is not a mind reader.

12. Do NOT get your sex tips from Cosmo.

13. Nobody understands your relationship.

And you don’t understand anyone else’s. There are no exceptions to this rule.

14. Follow the Harry Burns Airport Rule.

Do not stop doing things you used to do in the beginning of the relationship. If you used to take your guy/girl to the airport, still take them. You should never stop trying to show your significant other that you care. Nothing is worse than hearing “How come you never ____________ anymore?”

15. Spite will get you nowhere.

If the other person hurts you in a relationship, hurting them back on purpose will likely destroy your relationship. If you feel the need to “get back at” the person you’re with, you shouldn’t be with them.

16. Split the bills.

Relationships should be even or close to even. It is not a romantic idea, but it is fair. Communicate about what you each feel comfortable with. No one person should put more effort into a relationship than the other, so no one person should put more money into a relationship. It will allow resentment and discomfort to build.

17. Accept that no one is perfect.

It’s about finding the right person, not the perfect person. The perfect person doesn’t exist. Everyone has flaws. Everyone makes mistakes. Prince Charming probably had one beer too many on occasion. Cinderella probably spent too much on shoes.

18. Don’t be afraid to have the tough conversations.

If the relationship is strong and going somewhere, you should bring up the tough stuff. If you’re falling in love but have some concerns, bring them up sooner rather than later. It’s difficult to have serious conversations but it’s better to discover deal breakers earlier on.

19. Trust your instincts.

If you feel in your gut something is wrong, bring it up. 9 times out of 10 your instincts are correct and ignoring them will get you nowhere.

20. Be wary when discussing relationship troubles with your friends.

To a certain extent, it is healthy to discuss your relationship with your friends, but be cautious. If you discuss every little worry, every argument, if you air every grievance, you will poison your friends against your significant other. Find a healthy way/source to vent to that won’t backfire

THE POWER OF DIFFERENCE - Serena Williams

What makes you different is what makes you unique. There are 7.1 billion people on the face of the planet and none of them look exactly the same! Their faces are not exactly the same and their fingerprints are also not the same. Each individual is different.

In this world, we are not the same. Some are gifted with numbers and have become accountants. Others are gifted with writing words and have blessed us with beautiful poems, songs and stories. Those who can sing and dance entertain us. Some know how to speak in front of people with charisma. Others know how to kick a soccer ball and are global football icons. Some can sprint at supersonic speed and break world records. Others are fashionable and know how to design

We lose out when we compare ourselves with one another. You don’t have to keep up with everyone keep up with yourself! You don’t have to be the same as others, being different is ok! Tap into what makes you different and use it to your advantage.

Be different and stay focused.

The third most important skill in business (Part 1)

A few weeks ago I identified the most important skill in business as the ability to read.

The second most important is the ability to count (work in numbers).

I've also talked about this before. Now, what is the third? It's the ability to sell! This is a huge topic and one of my favorites: Every entrepreneur must be a good salesperson.

You must never stop selling, even if you're the richest man in the world.

I remember listening to Bill Gates one day talking passionately about one of the products from Microsoft. I thought to myself, "Wow, he is the

the richest man in the world, but he’s still interested in selling his products!"

And it's not just Bill Gates.

__Every great entrepreneur has this skill: the ability to sell.

Let's talk. First things first:

When I was about eight years old, my mother gave me a packet of sweets to take to school. I sold the sweets one by one over the lunch break!

After that, I bought my own sweets and sold them to my friends using my profits. Before long I had a little business. But it almost became a disaster when I took to the streets and got lost, whilst trying to sell my sweets.

Then my mother intervened! She stopped me selling sweets on the street and channeled my energy into more creative things, and helped me sell them from her shop. She did not kill my entrepreneurial zeal.

There are a lot of people who dream of getting into business, but they think it’s beneath them to be seen trying to sell something.

__Never look down on a street vendor, because from their ranks will come more great entrepreneurs than from most business schools!

Whatever it is you're trying to do, whether it's a product or a service, you must know how to sell.

There are millions of people who work for organizations, even in very senior management positions, who could not even sell an alcoholic

beverage to an alcoholic.

This is bad. There’s an old adage amongst military planners which says, "A battle plan is only as good as your first contact with the enemy." In business we say,

"A business plan is only as good as your ability to sell to a customer."

The ability to sell is a skill you need, beyond selling something to a customer. It includes "making a proper pitch" to investors and bankers. It also includes "selling your vision" to potential and current employers, and partners.

__It's all about the ability to sell!

I want you to become conscious about what it really takes to sell something.

Once you become conscious of selling at its most basic level, you

can move on to things like marketing. Let me close by saying this: Some of the greatest salespeople I've ever known are Americans.

I have such admiration for the practice of sales and marketing in the United States.

Imagine for a moment the guy who invented Coca-Cola...

How on earth did he persuade people they could overcome thirst by drinking a "black" liquid?!

I imagine people would have recoiled at the idea of drinking something that looked dirty, and there were no fridges in those

days.

From now on, I want you to think consciously about how a product or service is being sold!

One last thing: It doesn’t matter how good you are in sales, if the product or service is bad, you will not last.

Let's talk about how you can become the greatest salesperson, even to the point of selling ice to Eskimos!

To be continued....

Why Real Men NEVER Engage Single Mothers

ABCX: chics ....women are a hell of a headache!!

ME: So you want a quick or just a soft relationship?

ABCX: Relationships are damn nasty headache manufacturers: no ninja wishes this.

[A single mother is a soft landing you think and therefore your hungry testosterone toxicity leads your head in]...

ME: You don't just confirm a snake's hole with your limb!!

A single mother might be a mother to some greater leaders and bloggers but ... Here are the reasons why I can't just fail to screw into your skull these neglected facts:
1. Never Available

A single Mother’s schedule is never open. Single mothers are the kind of women to always cancel dates at the last minute.

Something always gets in the way of a man spending time with her. It’s hard to have a relationship with her because she’s never there.
2. YOU are NOT a priority

Usually, in a relationship, the man winds up DEAD LAST. Behind, her kids, her job, the car, the kitchen sink, the stopped-up toilet. Even the dog gets more attention and affection than a man involved with a single mother.

Any man who gets involved with a single mother winds up a fifth stringer in a relationship.
And he rarely ever gets called up to play.

3. Thinks the world revolves around HER and ONLY HER

A single mother is one of the biggest
narcissists on the dating scene. She often thinks that a man has to drop everything in his life to be part of hers and her kids.

They’re so selfish they don’t think a man has needs, wants, or a life of his own. He’s just supposed to be there to give her everything she wants in
life.
4. Emotionally Unavailable

Most Single mothers cannot form an intimate connection with a man because their feelings are invested in other people. [Usually, her primary focus is on her children].

In addition to dedicating themselves to their children, most single mothers have given their hearts to someone else – their children’s father.

And those feelings she still has for him will always prevent her from getting closer to you. There will always be some distance between a single mother and the new man in her life.
5. The ex / Baby Daddy is ALWAYS THERE


A man just doesn’t deal with a single mother. He deals with her ex or her baby daddy as well.

And this guy is always hovering around like a helicopter looking to c*ck block you.
Some of these guys still think they have a shot at getting back with her. Others just don’t want to see her happy.

A lot of these dudes want to fight over her. Seriously, it’s a game they’re playing with each other.

And they’ll be playing that game with each other until their children turn 18 or 21. Head for the exit. It’s just not worth dealing with this fool and his insecurities.

Why Real Men NEVER Engage Single Mothers
6. The kids are working AGAINST YOU

When dealing with a single mother you also deal with Kids. Kids who are still in their little heart of hearts think that Dad will come back and love them. Seriously, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.
7. Those kids will HATE YOU

They will act out to keep you from getting closer to mommy. They will make accusations against you to get you in trouble. Again, it’s just not worth dealing with the bullshit to get
with a female.

There are four billion women in the world. You can find a quality female who doesn’t carry all this baggage or give you this much grief.
8. Entitled attitude

Single mothers think because they had a baby out of wedlock the world owes them EVERYTHING. And she thinks she’s the one who deserves the best.

Even though she’s usually collecting welfare, food stamps, or
child support, in her eyes she’s still supposed to be treated like she’s a queen because she popped a kid out of her vagina.

In their deluded distorted vision of the world, men are still supposed to take her out to the finest restaurants and buy them lots of expensive stuff.
And he’s supposed to take care of her kids too, buying them whatever they want while taking a blind eye to their bad behavior.

9. Distorted self-image

Single mothers still think she’s as sexy as she was before they had a baby. Only she doesn’t understand how her body has changed. In some cases for the worse.

Single mothers are the type to try to squeeze themselves into sexy outfits like low-rise jeans and cropped T-shirts to show off their belly buttons, not seeing the muffin top and stretch marks squeezing out over the top of their pants.

They’re the type to stuff themselves
into slinky spandex dresses, (not aware of that gut, and the cellulite on their asses) and head out to the club. She thinks men are supposed
to run up to her offering to buy her drinks. And because a few thirsty simps step to her, she thinks she’s still got it.

But the only people who want what she has to offer are scavengers at the bottom of the social scene.

Why Real Men NEVER Engage Single Mothers
10. Always the victim

Single Mothers never take responsibility for their actions. The situation they’re in is always the fault of that “no good man”, “these damn kids” their mother, or someone else.

They never take any time to do any self-examination or make any efforts to change their lives.

They’re still looking for some Rich Incredibly Handsome Man™ to put on a cape and play Captain Save-A-Hoe™, sweep her off her feet and take her out of the troubling situation she helped make.
11. Jekyll & Hyde Personality

A single mother will be the sweetest thing when a man first dates her, but a few months into a relationship she turns into a NUT JOB.

A man will usually see glimpses of this when she chastises her kids when he first meets them. During that meeting, she’ll yell at them and
bully them to get them to act right while praising a man like he’s an angel. It’s all an act.

Heaven will turn into Hell around the six-month mark. Once a single mother gets a man settled into her life it’s not common for her to start verbally abusing him and mocking him as she projects all that pent-up rage from those previous failed relationships onto him.

And it’s usually around this point that most men realize why this woman is single and why it’s time for him to hit the exit door.
12. Drama Queen

feelings

Don’t date single mothers and don’t waste your time with them Because a single mother always sees herself as a victim of society, she’s always talking about her problems. And she always has a
new trouble to bring everyone.

There’s never a good day in the life of a single mother because there’s always some new crisis about to
emerge in her life. The reason single mothers need the drama is that it makes them feel important.

It makes people pay attention to
them. And when Captain-Save-A-Hoe™ is doting on them and trying to solve their problems it makes them feel an artificial sense of value.

They need that value to deflect people’s attention from how pathetic their lives actually are. Manipulative In most cases, a single mother has no interest in a man she’s dating. In a lot of cases, she’s just using a guy as a pawn.



13. In most cases she’s dating to make her


Baby Daddy is jealous Deep down in her heart of hearts she believes that if she’s seen with someone else who sees her as valuable that he’ll see her as valuable and take her back.

In other cases when she’s not trying to get a rise out of Baby Daddy she’s playing the sympathy card™ using a guy to get gifts, free dinners, and free drinks out of him.

To a single mother, the men in her life are just human ATM machines where she whispers a sweet nothing in his ear like a PIN number and money comes out of his wallet. And because she’s a drama queen who
loves to play the victim, the Single mother plays to men’s emotions to get them to react in the way she wants.

It’s not common for a single mother to tell her man about her baby daddy so he can go fight him. Or pit two baby daddies against each other.

Many a man has wound up either dead or in prison because a single mother played the victim card™.



14. Dishonest. A single mother is a LIAR.


It’s how she gets what she wants. It’s how she manipulates people. It’s how she takes™ care of her kids. It’s how she survives in this world.

Single mothers lie. And they LIE ALL
THE TIME. They lie to men about their age, their height, their weight, how many kids they have, and the job they do.

On top of the lies, they tell to others they lie to themselves. They lie about how beautiful they are. They lie telling themselves they’re still a catch.

They lie telling themselves they still have a chance with a good man.
They lie telling themselves that
their lives will be happily ever after one day.

The horrible truth is without those lies most of those single mothers would realize how pathetic their lives are. How they have no options in the dating scene.

That they’re at the bottom of the barrel in the dating scene and the only men who want them are pathetic Manginas and thirsty Simps.



15. Carries Baggage, baggage, and more baggage


A single mother has more issues than Time and Newsweek combined.

And when she’s looking for a man, she’s not looking for an equal caring partner.
She’s looking for a Pullman Porter™ to take care of her kids and clean up her messes with her children's father.

Brothers, don’t let yourself get sized up for the white jacket and the bow tie! Anyway, dealing with a single mother is like walking through a
minefield.

After several months of being
involved with her, it leaves a man anxious and tense because he doesn’t know where to step that won’t lead to an explosion that kills him.

Now, that’s why Real Men avoid single mothers like a disease. Real men understand life is too short to put up with someone’s drama
and their emotional baggage.

We only have a limited time on God’s Earth and who wants to spend it being a Pullman Porter cleaning up someone else messes.

As I stated before in a previous blog, let that woman take her run over Jimmy Choos and clean up her own
mess. She made her bed, now let her lie in the wet spot.

Don’t date single mothers and don’t waste your time with them.
There are four billion women in this world. If you’re patient, you’ll find a good one.

POPE FRANCIS - What you did not Know About the Vatican Big Man

I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW – POPE FRANCIS

I'm not a super-religious person or a refined Vatican Catholic cleric and so I’m probably not one to talk but a late-night, glass of flat coke and late-night internet WI-Fi will send you into the depths of Google you have never before thought you would visit. Anyway, I found a lot about the pope online the good, the controversial, I’m just going to put it all up here and let the masses decide on it..Pope Francis and Pope Francis quotes




POPE FRANCIS - What you dint Know About the Vatican Big Man.

Pope Francis is the 266th and current Pope of the Catholic Church


Being whoever I am I’m going to start with the rather fishy stuff on Pope Francis News.


1. If someone is gay and searches for the Lord, who am I to judge? This is undoubtedly the most controversial statement uttered by the big man when asked about his take on gay priests in the church. Was he just adding a single onto the Pope Francis quotes by playing a little more controversial..? This goes against the church’s general belief, as well as those of his predecessors, that homosexuality is an intrinsic moral sin that should be sent flying out of the church’s stained glass windows after .."Pope on Same-Sex Marriage" breaking news.



2. The pope’s take on the theory of evolution was quite the head turner as well. "God is not a demiurge [or demigod] or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life. Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve." I don’t know why this was deemed controversial, but Science and the church haven’t exactly been in each other's good books in the recent past, so I’m sure you get why it did not sit well that the symbol of the church was upping y daisy about it.


3. "I can only say that the communists have stolen our flag. The flag of the poor is Christian. Poverty is at the center of the Gospel ... Communists say that all this is communism. Sure, twenty centuries later. So when they speak, one can say to them, 'But then you are a Christian'.” If I were to quote the man verbatim. This third one may mean many things, but most commonly interpreted to mean communists are secret Christians. In a way, he may be right considering all the evils modern man will perpetrate in the name of capitalism but still, rather a weird statement.


4. Let’s not forget the hilarious reference to continental Europe as an infertile grandmother. "In many quarters we encounter a general impression of weariness and aging, of a Europe which is now a 'grandmother', no longer fertile and vibrant.


As a result, the great ideas which once inspired Europe to seem to have lost their attraction, only to be replaced by the bureaucratic technicalities of its institutions.”


The world may have largely misinterpreted this statement which may have meant Europe’s neglect of the poor, the dignity of individuals, and human values for technological and economic gain. But then again, maybe the statement may just have been better framed.

So now on to the other exciting things, I bet you didn’t know about the pope…

He once worked as a nightclub bouncer to pay his way through college.

The Pope, believe it or not, loves to tango.
 
An ex-girlfriend told Argentinian reporters that he threatened to become a priest if she didn’t marry him. This guy is now one of the best Popes of the Roman Catholic Church.


He’s a massive sweet tooth. Among his favorites are chocolate-covered alfajores, which are Dulce De Leche-filled Argentine cookies.
 
He is often referred to affectionately as Papa Pancho, as Pancho is a nickname for Francisco
 
He has only one lung, due to an illness he suffered at 21 but he still remains the physical Light of the World Roman Catholics sees.


He studied Chemistry in technical school and Philosophy in college, then taught literature, philosophy, theology, and psychology before becoming an archbishop.
 
Pope Francis loves football and is a big fan of his hometown team, the San Lorenzo Football Club
 
It has been rumored (this cannot really be validated by solid evidence) that the Pope sneaks out of the Vatican at night, dressed as a regular priest, to meet with homeless men and women, and talk about humility.
 
It is at this point I wrap up this piece, look out for the next post in just a little bit. Have a fantastic…whatever part of the day or week you have left. Looking for the Address For Pope Francis... ?Don't mind staying on the Evergreen billboard where you will keep updated on all about pope Francis and the list of popes from the catholic encyclopedia.

The cost of political corruption and natural disasters

The pressure is no longer on our wives and women to maintain “marble flat” tummies after your treatise on “The Pressure That Killed Stella Obasanjo.” …but Administrative corruption.
 
The extent of systemic corruption in government tells us more than poverty about the consequences of natural calamities.
 
Haven’t you browsed through the daily mail Newspapers and the BBC world news websites: - Thousands drown after Elnino floods, an earthquake of 8.8 magnitude kills people in Haiti…
 

By Chika for Africa

Definitely, this will always occur in countries greatly colonized by evergreen corruption. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Elnino, and Flush floods would be more violent in regions ruled by fraudulent leaders; leaders who are selfish enough to deny others the right to life. This is because in countries with higher “Corruption Perception Index” (CPI), development activities are initiated without following the defined codes and regulations.


 
Corruption doesn’t only bring down life and buildings but social institutions; corruption destroys both the mortar that holds together physical capital and the glue that binds social capital.
 
Political corruption is what can best define government officials who unethically use their rather democratically gifted powers for illegitimate private gains. Corruption is not limited to Kenya alone. There are Tens of thousands globally who suffer the impact of corruption daily as tallied by Transparency International (TI), one of the best non-governmental organizations headquartered in Berlin, Germany.

Try typing into the google search box "Corruption" and the results and wait for the search results; Corruption in India, corruption in Nigeria, Corruption in Kenya, Waiguru corruption case, Uhuru and corruption and Images of corrupt government officials; this sums up to Corrupt Leadership.
 
The fact that we are still embracing corruption can be one way of amending the qualifications of our leaders. Soon, Political leaders would produce certificates of proven corruption in order to get to the job.
 
SEE ALSO: Top web Developers and Social media managers
 
Administrative corruption is so rampant in Africa and in most third world nations that it’s almost an alien culture. Hellman and Jones call these “private payments to public officials to distort the prescribed implementation of official rules and policies.” Could it be colonialism that leaked systemic corruption into Africa? The ancient Africans never knew tax, the military, and policemen, the warriors then were purely for community protection; today, they are tools for hire, reserved for the wealthy Billionaires class.
Categorizing types of corruption, the cause of corruption, and identifying champions of corruption has unfortunately been someone’s multi-billion full-time job; Transparency international. It may appear too common to us making it difficult for us the wananchi to understand its gravity. It's shocking to get to know a one-hundred-year old granny to vividly also knows that corruption is the disease that is now affecting Kenya but some folks may say that is being "DIGITAL” and "INFORMED" as they call it as the old grannies can now grasp a word or two in English.
 
It may sound funny and rubbish but the time of understanding it well is when we will be feeling its consequences which are ruthless so to say.

The fact that corruption is slowly becoming the daily menu of our beautiful nation Kenya is making us to focus majorly on the corrupt individuals rather than finding a solution to eliminate it for good. It was just recently when there was rampant leakage of the K.C.S.E examination but the solution that was being employed was to cancel the whole examination yet the problem is with the examination body itself. Why punish innocent and bright students for a fraudulent mistake initiated by you?
 
Apparently, the overhauling of the educational sector has proven rather difficult because the people who are made ministers of education (or science & technology, agriculture) have no passion for the growth and development of the African institutions but the positions could be a mere appreciation of party loyalists who played the part for the govt to ‘win’ the general election
The best solution that could be offered would be:
 
To fire the officials since by retaining them nothing is solved at all. Cushioning corrupt officials only extends the culture of impunity; no public servant should appear immune to the ethics code.
“Yeah, as individuals we must ensure the societal space is clean and corruption free and find guys of similar values to align with in order to build up accountable and progressive leadership for the future.
People should limit the culture of consumerism and pursue productivity.
Strengthening ant graft institutions for example EACC in Kenya.
Promoting religion and religious teachings that condemn corruption and high dependency in the communities since people listen to their religious leaders as well as political leaders.
Building national values based on the African culture; this would limit the extra capitalist formalities instilled to many by the white man’s magic.
Initiating massive economic growth and development measures that would limit societal poverty.
Corrupt people are criminals and shouldn’t be spared a bullet.
Providing both formal and informal education on corruption and leadership; to fight corruption, the community should learn that Merely shouting from the roof tops that everyone is corrupt creates a larger atmosphere of corruption.
Those in the political leadership should stop misuse of official authority; this includes an award of government contracts and tenders after bribing instead of focusing on competence.

The fact that we are embracing corruption risks changing the qualifications that leaders need to attain in order to acquire certain positions. One may be asked to produce a certificate showing that he or she is corrupt in order to vie for certain positions if we will continue cosseting corruption thus providing favorable conditions for it to breed.

I fear that if we will continue tolerating this cancer, we are going to the dogs and we are the ones who will face the consequences of what we are doing. Let us join hands and decry such practices by calling a spade a spade and remove the corrupt from office.
