I’ll forgive you because you probably haven’t driven your dream car through Akosombo Township with your woman in the passenger seat, cruising past the lake and winding through the mountains while Jay-Z’s luxury rap plays in the background. 🤣🔥
It’s so attractive when people apologise for responding late. or when they keep you in the loop so you don’t start overthinking. the skill of communication is very attractive. basic consideration these days, it stands out cause so many people just disappear and leave you guessing
This works in relationships too. Never beg for love. The only time an apology is warranted is when you are genuinely wrong, outside of that, never beg for affection. Never plead for someone to stay, to care, to choose you. It reeks of desperation, and desperation has never once made anyone more desirable. As Duma Boko said, “if they want to leave, help them get out.”
When you start making good money, save it. Especially in the beginning. Save as much as you can. You'll desire things. New car, new watch, designer clothes to show the world you made it. And dumb philosophies will try to justify it. YOLO, life is short. Don't pay attention. Don't change anything. Save for a few years. And one day you'll notice, the urgency is gone. The anxiety... gone. You go to a restaurant, and you stop looking at the right side of the menu. You plan a holiday and you don't wait 3 weeks for cheap flights. Someone made you an offer that doesn't feel right, and you say no without thinking twice. That's what happens when you overcome instant gratification. It will give you peace to move at your own pace. A little patience, that's all you need. And it will give you something that no material object can ever match: a calm nervous system.
Seriously, get married and have a dual income household on time. The longer you postpone this, the harder it is to compound the benefits. It is the greatest middle-class hack to wealth. Forget all the stupid gender extremism here. Fall in love, get married, build together.
Infidelity and horniness make people do stupid things cos why would you have sex with the person you are cheating with in your Chambers which is within the court premises you work and moan on top? You are judge, your husband is a judge too, a senior for that matter…. Chale
To my people in most towns outside Accra, I get that you guys love to party till morning. But as a performer, my energy is at its highest level until about 1 a.m. max. Any moment after that, my body starts to shut down (which is natural). So I’ll plead with you guys to try to have me on stage much earlier so you can get the best out of me. I be tired performing around 4 a.m. in the morning … that is not normal for the human body 🙏🏿
Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
“We launched the refinery in 2013, and for five years we had issues with the land. Everything was being blocked by the oil mafia. We had to build our own port because no port in the country could handle the heavy equipment. We also had to build a harbour, roads, and a water system with a capacity of 440 million litres. Our water facility alone covers more than 30 hectares.”
