@bruno_nwogu Poverty is a weapon used against the POOR.
It's a quote I stand on.
There are question you shouldn't even answer if your pocket has weight.
Imagine being asked if you'll slap your mother for 100,000,000 naira.
Why?
Everyone wants to climb the mountain, but the big difference between those at the top and those still on the bottom is simply a matter of showing up tomorrow to give it just one more shot.

I was having a conversation with a colleague and she made this statement. Immediately I remembered this post.
People will treat you the way you treat yourself.
Always carry yourself like your life matters. Because it does. Stand tall. Walk with confidence. Make eye contact. Take care of your body. Be present. Think independently. Listen before you speak. Bet on yourself. If you do that, the world will start bending to your will.
Here is what I've observed in leadership: it's better to be the leader who sometimes shares his imperfections than the one who never does.
People get to relate more with the former than the latter.
Your entire life will change the day you realize real confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you know failure is never final.
Sometimes your influencers talk as if there's a one-size-fits-all way of doing things in life.
...But there isn't.
Your philosophy or approach is right... And the other person's philosophy is also right.
Let's stop acting as if it has to be only your way.
Since I got initiated into watching Japanese anime, I've come to dislike American movies.
Not because they are bad per se, but I learn more watching anime than American movies.
Maybe, I'll write the lessons I've learned watching anime starting with Black Clover.
Do the hard things daily doesn't only mean you should go to the gym or workout at home.
There may be people you've been wanting to talk to...
Why not take the courage and talk to them today?
Here's a thought I've had, especially on successful people:
A simple shift while on their journey, especially if they had been hanging around the wrong people, wouldn't have brought them to where they are.
This is why I'm also careful with my association this year.
