Do not render any sort of help to any poor person in Nigeria because they always turn around to bite you when they are on their feet.


Do not generalize based on a single experience or a few experiences.

If you want to be great do what no one has ever done

If you want fame, shine your uniqueness.

Until you believe in your ability, you will never be bold.

Observer1:


Do you mind defining family,due to its ambiguity?

Close Blood relatives.
I am talking from my own personal experience.
They are the only one that's got your back when your entire world crashes.

Although some may think otherwise from there own experience.
But for me, family over everything.

1. Make your own rule and be the law, what works for others, might not works for you.
2. That people want you to succeed doesn't mean their advice is the best for you.
3. Dream and dream big, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. There's power in dreams that drive us.
4. Don't be "Jesus" for anybody, you're not here to die for people.
5. Believe in something, even if it's in sand or yourself, there's power in belief, it works most of the time.
6. Nobody loves you more than yourself, not even "God", if your doubt, ask "Him" to trade place with you.
7. You're just another being, that is, don't ever think you're special, like specially created by "God", nah, you'll be shocked when things stop/don't go your way.
8. Life is not fair, that you're poor today doesn't mean you'll be rich tomorrow.
9. Enjoy your life while you can, it's the only thing you have power over.
10. Grace and Luck is REAL.
grin grin
But you don't even have power over your life man, if you think you do, then never fall sick and never die, live forever.

totally unfair. I know my predictions of where I’m to be in comparison to my circle of friends back then. Currently, reverse of that prediction is the case despite my determination, diligence and hardwork. E no balance bro

Sorry bro....

Also, life na two faces (some wise ones say it's more than 2 and it's many)

In other words, it's mysterious, cos you can wake up tomorrow and find that your lamentation is gone.

Keep the flame of hope Burning!

1. Lions are called the king of the jungle because Tigers (and other stronger formidable predators) do not live in the jungle. In other words, the people who look down on you do so because you haven't assumed your throne and shine in your glory. Go be a king in your domain.

2. Resurrect your inner b!tch. The world is a jungle, and being Mr nice guy will not take you far. The unrelenting you are to exhume your inner b!itch, the farther you go.

3. Formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune. True life's education is experienced outside the classroom. know the difference between to be schooled and to be educated.

4. Being nice and incapable of inflicting harm is not a virtue. It is a weakness. The ability to inflict an untold amount of damages, but chooses not to, is a virtue.

5. If they stand behind you protect them. If they stand beside you, respect them. But if they stand against you, destroy them.

6. Be aware of your vices, and do not let it destroy your life. A typical vice for men is philandering, negative aggression, greed, alcoholism, etc. For women, it is prostitution, chaos, vindictiveness, narcissism, and dissatisfaction.

7. The antidote to suffering in life is responsibility. pursue what is worth dying for, and every other suffering you pass through shall be insignificant.

8. Never be afraid to walk alone, instead be afraid to walk mindlessly with the crowd. Your mind can be your greatest asset, and your greatest liability, depending on if you nourish it well. Be a solitary Tiger if needed, not a mindless sheep.

9. As a man, your superpower lies in being masculine, and for women, being feminine. Understand this and accentuate it to the best of your ability.

10. The ability to express yourself eloquently is power. The power of speech can move mountains, bring down standing armies, and give meaning to life. Be eloquent. The content of your speech speaks more about the speaker, as opposed to the subject. The formation of your mental sophistication is expressed through the content of your words.

11. The weaker you are, the more fight you will get into. The stronger you are, the less fight you will get into either. To thrive is to be tough.

12. Anyone that loves you in the truest meaning of love is your family. Love unites people not blood, though love coming from blood relation is thicker. To understand the true meaning of love, substitute the word ''love'' with responsibility. Love without responsibility is not love, it is infatuation.

13. the natural mandate is that anything valuable comes from the inside. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If it is broken by an inner force, life begins. Do not let external forces suppress your inner voice.

14. Approach every human relationship and connections with a sense of mutualism, conversely, do not entangle with someone who does not understand this timeless rules. Mutualism is growth, parasitism is death. The tree provides shelter for the bird to nest, and the birds help the tree by spreading its seeds to fertile ground. to germinate.

15. The gentle walk of a tiger is not foolishness, but strategic. In life, know when to give up, preserver, and what deserves your energy and resources, to avoid falling deep into the "sunk cost effect".

16. Have boundaries. A hen is harmless, but as soon as it hatches, its mouth used for eating becomes a weapon to defend and protects it chick, regardless of the aggressors size.

I love what you wrote but it appears you’re too crude. It’s ok to live life like it’s survival of the fittest but you’re not different from animals. Life is not really survival of the fittest, life is when we help even the weakest survive.
I’d like to correct the notion that the lion is king bc the tiger doesn’t live in the jungle, that’s not correct, these are just two reasons I picked and will pick other as time goes
1. The lioness who’s the mother and the disciplinary figure in the jungle respects the lion and every fucking animal has to. It’s not like that for the tiger, it’s a barbarian lineage where the tigress does not respect the lion and can fight it at any chance
2. The lion is truly the king as it demonstrate wonderful leadership animalistic behavior
It’s not greedy
It’s a family guy
It’s forgiving (tiger is vengeful)
It’s easily Satisfied
The tiger does have these qualities and not fit to rule less if it has a problem with the lion being king then it should go Bleep itself in another place

Another reason why I’m against your post is that you think people should destroy their enemies(People against them). Don’t you think that’s shallow minded? Considering you’re probably someone’s enemy right now. Love everyone equally and you probably won’t have enemies and even if you do, love them still, that’s the only way to live. Considering even those you protect can kill you someday

If these words above are exactly how you are, then you have such a good and big heart, pansophist lines have their imperfections to it, so as yours too. For example, bolded part:
I hope you understand that "being disciplinary in the jungle" is the same as number 4, 5 & 11 of pansophist quote.

In a nutshell, if I want to summarize your comment there, "the lioness does all the dirty work for Lion and the Lion gets all the praise.
Well this makes the Lion to be "a bad guy" as against how you are painting it in your number 2.

The reality is, you have to strike a balance, as much as good you have in your heart, never forget number 4 rule of Pansophist, it will help give longevity to your good heart.

1. Maintain your weight whilst your young. Not watching your weight will give you series of problem later on in life. Exercise and eat properly.

2. Dont be with someone who’s family do not like you. It is an everlasting battle that you will eventually lose.

3. You will not gain respect trying to please everyone. Stand up for yourself and always speak your mind.

4. Only share things when you are established. People are envious and will try to destroy your plans if you share too quickly.

5. Listen more than you talk.

6. Social skills are paramount for getting further in life. You must learn how to make solid connections.

7. Elders do not know it best

8. Confidence is more valuable than looks

9. Your family doesn’t always want the best for you

10. No one will values you until you hit it big.

11. Be careful with alcohol. It is addictive and very accessible, probably the worst drug out there.

These are just some of mine, feel free to contribute some of yours.

This is not coming from a single experience ny brother but years of being betrayed and taught some bitter lessons by the same people I went out of my way to help out of love and sympathy. I understand there are still some good people left in that country but the evil ones outnumber the good ones by 1million to 1. Maybe I am exaggerating but I know I am close to the truth.

Wow. I'm really impressed with all the life quotes I read from you guys. I have learnt something new from them and I will make sure I start practicing them now before it's too late. This will help me alot especially in my relationships with people. One idiot lady I dash #1000 willingly still has the guts to request for another 1000# the second day to buy cream, I rejected her request instantly and she was still begging me to borrow her that she will return it back. That word made me even dislike her so much. Being nice to you doesn't you should start coming with different tactics to exploit me. I have stop being a Nice guy , I will rather donate to the needy.

1. the lion is the king of the jungle, not by size but by heart. Dare the impossible. Do the incredible.

2. One fundamental law of nature is giving.
You must give out, to eat some more. Breath out to breath in.
It is the pinnacle upon which rests the unending circle of life and living

3. When you speak, you are only repeating what you already know. but if you listen, you might learn something new.

4. The rich takes pleasure in what the poor wouldn't touch.

5. He is old, no matter how young, that reads not. He is young, not matter how old, that does.

6. When life throws you lemon, make lemonade. For it is not the water around the ship that sinks it, rather, it is the water that gets in.

7. The mind is man's greatest gift. Second only to time.

8. It is better to die standing than to live on your kneels for the rest of your life.

9. When you heap dung, it stinks. but when Spread, it makes things grow.
Don't hoard, for the lot of the stingy man rests within the Beatle eaten yam though its frame still looks fresh,

10. if you don't leave for one thing, you die for everything.

11. Books are to the mind, what exercise is to the muscles.

12. Don't be averse to challenges for how else can the gold acquire its glow if not through the furnace?

13. To be a good leader, you must first be a good servant.

14. Salaries might bring some comfort. but only your ideas can bring you wealth and real freedom.

15. If you don't build your dreams, others would pay you peanuts for you to help build theirs.

16. Finally, don't step down from your bed each day without a little prayer and a daily plan. You would lose the day if you do.

Wisdom from the staple of the wise!

The number 6 has been a challenge for me. I've not seen or talk to my dad for 2 years now. My elder brother I've not visited him since he married his wife became pregnant and gave birth to a girl. The year is a year old and I don't know what she looks like.

Where do tigers live? undecided
lol, I actually understand your question, lions and tigers do not live in the same area, the only place in the world you can see tiger and lion in the wild is in India, and those Asiatic lions are no match for the Bengal tigers, lions do not live in the the jungle, they live in grassland and the savannah, the "king of the jungle" term coined for lion is more about its social class and majestic aura rather than strength, if it is about strength and ability to kill, tiger is an assassin, if you check the head to head record of combat between tigers and lions, the tigers came out top, the latest recorded was in a Turkish zoo in 2010 or so, a tiger came out of his cage and ran to the other side where a lion was standing, gave the lion a single strike in its neck cutting the vein, the lion bled to death, a roman emperor once organized a fight between animals in a tournament format, the lion and the tiger made the final and the tiger killed the lion, due to the solitary nature of the tiger, it is better prepared for fight and hunting than the lion that lives in a pride. Nat Geo wild did " the ultimate cat challenge " for all big cats, they tested them in different areas and specialties, the tiger came top.

Close Blood relatives.
I am talking from my own personal experience.
They are the only one that's got your back when your entire world crashes.

Although some may think otherwise from there own experience.
But for me, family over everything.
you are on point

1. Maintain your weight whilst your young. Not watching your weight will give you series of problem later on in life. Exercise and eat properly.

2. Dont be with someone who’s family do not like you. It is an everlasting battle that you will eventually lose.

3. You will not gain respect trying to please everyone. Stand up for yourself and always speak your mind.

4. Only share things when you are established. People are envious and will try to destroy your plans if you share too quickly.

5. Listen more than you talk.

6. Social skills are paramount for getting further in life. You must learn how to make solid connections.

7. Elders do not know it best

8. Confidence is more valuable than looks

9. Your family doesn’t always want the best for you

10. No one will values you until you hit it big.

11. Be careful with alcohol. It is addictive and very accessible, probably the worst drug out there.

These are just some of mine, feel free to contribute some of yours.
12. Avoid Unnecessary Liabilities from Family and Friends ..

13. Render help based on your capabilities to anybody but expect return only from God so as not to be disappointed

14. Don't help your enemy to sharpen their teeth in the name of God's will, they will use it to bite you first

15. Don't render help that will hurt you only for you to later depend on your helper till the extent that if they don't, you will become hypertensive

16. Dedicate your entire teenage age, 20s, 30s, 40s to development and career advancement ... God's willing you will rest in your 50s till you die if not ... You will die of .... "Had it been I had known"
