Start eating dates to gain healthy weight, lower blood sugar, strengthen bones, increase sperm count and testosterone, relax the brain and support heart health.
Eat 2-3 dates a day.
In Uganda, a man can be 35, have a beard, a salary, a girlfriend and strong opinions about how the country should be governed… but still hear his mother shouting, “Who finished the milk?” 😂
But is moving out proof of maturity, or just an expensive way of proving you own a saucepan?
WHY ARE YOU STILL IN YOUR FATHER’S HOUSE?
This Saturday, 7–11 AM EAT, on @ManCaveUg.
Gentlemen, bring your arguments. And please, ask Mummy for permission first.
Lazy and jealous people, especially your ex-girlfriend, have a propensity to insult you,
"You are proud. It is all vanity. You will also die and leave everything behind."
They insult you because you refuse to be manipulated by them or compromise your values for them.
Life is more than self-fulfilment.
But why do we work hard brick by brick?
Self-acknowledgement that comes after achieving a goal through hard work is justified.
Jealous people insult you so that you lose focus, lose self-determination, and join them in their chorus of blaming other people for their misery.
Be proud of your achievement.
However, as you celebrate your success, don't mock those who are also striving to succeed.
Humility in victory. Grace in defeat.
Before you sleep tonight, put your phone away and ask your wife these 6 questions.
You might be surprised by what she tells you.
Some of these questions can reveal things your everyday conversations never will.…..
No matter how much you love your woman, never let her know exactly how much you earn.
The moment a man reveals his full financial ceiling, two things happen:
1. Her lifestyle demands scale up to match that number.
2. The mystery of your true capability dies.
She will be calculating how to spend every single penny you have.
Keep a quiet reserve, let her just guuess how much you make, it will save you from a lot of issues.
Real books change your very psyche. Not just self-help books. But the long, soul-altering books. The Brothers Karamazov. The War and Peace. The Crime and Punishment. Moby Dick. In Search of Lost Time. Writers who understood loneliness. Meaning. Human suffering. The chaos inside our minds. Writers who sat alone with their inner darkness so that one day you could read it and feel less alone in your own. They change the way you see people. They expand your perception. They upgrade your consciousness. That's what real books do. They alter you.
Learn to be strict with yourself.
Your time.
Your resources.
Your business.
Your discipline.
The moment you become mediocre, others will take advantage of you and mess you up.
It is better to be called a bully because being afraid to say NO will cost you a lot.
END OF THE MONTH is a MAN's most difficult day:
"Hello Sir, rent for this month is due."
"Boss, the tax amnesty ends today."
"Hello, Sir, I will not come to work tomorrow unless you send me fare."
"Hi Bro, don't forget. The event is tomorrow."
"Hello cousin, my son was admitted to university. I spent everything. I don't have fare back home. Help me, please."
"Jemo, someone has my money. Send me something small; I am being held at the Police Station for a traffic offence. If he refunds it, I will refund you. Please."
"Boss, I know I have your money. But I commit to pay. My wife is going into labour. Just help me with something on top of the other one; I will refund."
"Dear Customer, this is a polite reminder about your loan."
"Your post-paid line has been barred due to insufficient funds."
"James, your father is going for dialysis tomorrow. We hope to be at the hospital at 4 am."
"Hello, parent, Jayden is sitting his exams this month. Prepare for prayer day and to gift his teachers."
"Baba Jay, the tokens."
"Baba Jay, the gas."
"Baba Jay, my mother's consecration in the church women's guild is this Sunday. This is your mother-in-law, for heaven's sake!"
"Brethren, our church's hotel project fundraiser is next week."
"JAMES, your Online transaction of USD 81.76 has been declined on your card ending **42 at Truecaller due to insufficient funds."
Steven Uber: I tried to call you at 30-09-26 13:41 but you were not reachable.
Amos Mechanic: I tried to call you at 30-09-26 13:43 but you were not reachable.
"Please call me. Thank you. Everybody wins!"
"You, James, I will not remind you about your child's upkeep. Behave, or I will tell your wife. Nonsense!"
"Failed. Insufficient funds in your M-PESA account as well as Fuliza M-PESA to send KSH340.00. Your M-PESA balance KSH0.00."
It is tough being a MAN.
Grace be upon you, the MAN.
A woman will destroy her family for her happiness, and a man will destroy his happiness for his family.
You can do everything right, provide, stay loyal, be present, build the house, raise the kids, and still lose her. A woman is constantly told by her friends that she can do better. She deserves more.
Then one day, the arguments start appearing out of nowhere. It's about dishes, socks. You watched a game after working twelve hours, and she gets mad at you.
Emotionally, she already left months ago. A woman's love is always conditional, and when her emotions change, a man will lose his family without cheating, without even abandoning them, without even knowing that the funeral already happened.
Couples, when you have an argument, try your best to handle it away from your children.
Your children don't need to hear the harsh words, accusation or threat that comes out when you're angry. They may not understand the whole situation, but they will remember the fear, tension and way their parents spoke to each other.
If you need to have a serious argument, wait until the children are asleep or find a private place where they cannot hear you.
Your children should grow up knowing that their parents have disagreements, but they should also see that those disagreements can be handled without destroying the family.
Protect their peace while you work through your problems.
