WHAT IS NORMAL AND WHAT IS NOT?

Gayness was treated by psychiatrists in the 50s with shock therapy.
But it's now acceptable in so many countries of the world

Normal then is only a state of mind and what we feel inside
Do not listen to those that says "your ways ain't normal, they don't have your eyes or mind to see things the way you see them"

Never give up

1) Any good thing doesn't want to be done easily, you force it. don't give up yet

2) If you've tried hard the first half of the year, try harder this second half. things can only get better

3) Always be optimistic about your life and imagine, desire only good things. Remember you
attracts what you think

4) Let your motivation come from within and not from someone else.

 

SOME OF THE MOST PARADOXICAL STUFFS IN THE WORLD

• Overweight P.E. teachers

• Sacrificing your health to make money, then spending money to recover your health

• Doctors and nurses who smoke

• Life Insurance - Living your life poor to die rich

• Needing work experience to get a job but need a job to get work experience

• Eating more when you get stressed and getting stressed because you ate more

• Warned never to talk to strangers, criticized for being an introvert

• Tired of the same boring life, afraid to quit and take risks

• Wanting to have a strong immune system but take medicine for the smallest discomforts

• Wanting our children to be logical thinkers but push them to a routine education life

NEVER BACK DOWN

The struggle is real! That we know
Men and women hustle hard! That we believe
There is crazy intimidation! Hell yeah
Someone will always be better than you, you'll always be better than someone! That you also know, irrespective of how much you try not to admit
IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOU'RE NOT DEAD, SO APPRECIATE YOUR EXISTENCE

NEVER think you're never going to make it.
We shall all get what we want in life

MOST BRUTAL WAY TO DIE

The Brazen Bull

God I hate this thing. It was an execution device used for criminals in ancient Greece, and it was brutal as all hell.

On the outside, it was a bronze statue of a bull with a door on one side. Inside, it was hollow. It worked like this-


The criminal would be thrown into the hollow statue either naked or with minimal clothing, and the door shut and locked on them. Then, they would light a fire underneath the statue, effectively cooking the victim alive. The victim’s screams would also go through a series of tubes that led to the nostrils of the bull, and the sound that came out would sound like a bull’s scream. Allegedly, the smoke produced from the nostrils were also somewhat laced with incense.

Its first victim is also somewhat interesting, as it’s actually the guy who created it. Basically, the guy who made it (Perillos) went to leader (Phalaris) and explained how the screaming conversion worked. Phalaris wanted him to demonstrate it, so once Perillos had climbed in, the door was shut and he was locked in. Then, Phalaris wanted to see it to its full effect, so he actually set a fire underneath it, and listened to the screams.

After a while, he ordered his men to pull Perillos out before he died, and they did. Phalaris actually took Perillos, now covered in burns, and threw him off a cliff. Then he proceeded to use the Bull for executions of all sorts, until he himself was executed inside of a Brazen Bull after he was overthrown.

These two deaths are both brutal, and ironic.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW NOW.

I bet you've seen all sort and forms of motivation everyday

You see it on Instagram, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter and even on Snapchat.

Well, that feels just right. But tell me how far did they go in your life?

(Don't answer just yet)

Let me tell you a big secret today and I hope you don't throw this away.  This is not some type of one way advice you hear from counsellors, motivational speakers or teachers;

ABOUT LIFE

Live it to the fullest and NEVER think anything is too big to achieve. You hear people say all sort of things like; be careful, take it slow, look careful before....blah blah blah

ABOUT MONEY

Saving up alone can't help you, (am a witness, ask someone close to you too). Learn or do something that will give you extra cash (i am a quantity surveyor, a makeup artist, an hair stylist, a writer, a speaker...yet I want more).

If you're a lady and you're tall and pretty, you can make at least 5k(in Nigeria currency though) every weekend as an ursher at events. all it is going to take is for you to make good enquiries from those doing it already

An average guy or lady can make some extra cash helping out with teaching, taking kids to school, parks, concerts and shows, just for a token(am sure some parents will buy the idea cos you'll relieve them the stress to take their kids to school, park, recreational gardens and parks during weekends and holidays)

Visit Pinterest for beautiful ideas

It is time to stop thinking outside the box, think like there is no box at all

ABOUT GETTING A JOB

There are plenty of jobs out there (Pls don't judge me yet and don't lose me pls, try to follow)

I'll give 3 pointers, start adding more

 

1. I used an herbal soap that cleared out my dark spots and knuckles in 30 days (didn't even STICK to the  morning and night routine). I went to this girlfriend of mine that usually complain about her face and sold the soap with an addition of 1k (sorry Vic, cos you'll realise the price is been raised by me, THAT'S BIZ MY DEAR) have sold more than 25 since early June and I don't even leave my house...

 

2. Cost of a normal drawing book is #50. Damn! Got mine for #5 back in the days. Now buy a park of A4 paper, get some fancy covers (Only cost #200 for 6 I guess), get water colour @ #500 if am correct. Get beautiful cover template from the internet and make just 3. Attach 1 cover to 20 sheets of A4 paper(make use of gum for cheap and easy hold). EVERYTHING USED IS UNDER 4k. Take it to any big primary school and tell them you'll like to see the headmaster or headmistress. (*Show your samples and tell them you'll supply the school at the rate of #500 (this price should be okay in Lagos and some parts in ibadan), let them know that you're giving the headmaster or headmistress #100 on each as your own way of giving back to the school. Go to 15 schools) Pls tell me my idea is lame... I'll be a realist on this one...

A pack of A4 paper has 500 sheets in it.

500/20= 25 drawing books. Let's assume that the number of children in each school (Don't judge me I called myself a realist in this situation)

25 drawing books * 500 = #12500

#100 * 25 for the heads = #2500

Let's say 5 school are crazy enough to buy your idea, that's #10000 * 5 schools = 50000

Let's imagine you're one lucky chap and all 15 schools bought your not so funny not so serious idea

10000 * 15 schools = #150000.

Your materials cost should be around #45000 - #50000.

Profit #100000.

Pls let me know if am day dreaming....this are ideas that has been tested and proven to work)

 

3. Come in here if you have so many female friends (every talent are great gifts if you know how to use them)

Let me show you or rather let me open your eyes to what you're not taking notes of; have you seen makeup on most of your friends? They are not so good, look at good makeup on Instagram and you'll realise your girls been drawing brackets on her face and not brows.

Why don't you take few weeks lesson in makeup artistry?

When you're good, start teaching your home girls how to do their makeup effortlessly at easy charges (let them know you're charging low cos they are friends), give it some time they will bring in more customers for you. And you don't have to own a shop to do this cos, there is option of running home service, freelancing etc.

Fine boy wake up.

 

...yeah, I did that

What would you do if you were alone in the world?

1) Safety.

Several days is fine, but the nature will start taking over. Predators, unfiltered water, etc.

I would spend several hours a day for the first few weeks to get access to ammunition and weapons and learn how to use them.

2) Shelter.

Protect my place as well.

Maybe find a better place than my current location. Where it is safer, food is easier accessible, fire can be made, etc.

Again, not too urgent, but with no humans around variety and likelihood of accidents increase.

3) Food.

Plan A: Stock up on what doesn't get bad for several years.
Plan B: More healthy and sustainable options.

Gas-based fridge and a large supply of gas can store plenty of juices or even veggies.

4) Health.

Come up with a plan w/o professional healthcare.
Stay fit. Exercise. Don't burn yourself.

5) Scale.

All of the above can be scaled quite well. I would probably dedicate some time around the 2nd month to have better reserves.

6) Technology.

Electricity? Gas? Cars? Boats/airplanes I can use?

Computers? Connectivity?

7) Personal growth.

Reading and research, at very least.
Building something I feel important.

8) Plan.

If I assume that humans will appear somehow, I will need to prepare for it.
Depending on how did this happen, I will estimate the probability of whether there are more people and their potential locations.

Perhaps remote islands. Perhaps from the international space station.

If no, I will look for other means to continue with the humanity. Had I been a girl, sperm banks may have helped. Guy's life would be harder, but I would at least dedicate some time to do my research and try to figure out if there are feasible options. I have heard of people freezing themselves in hopes to be resurrected. This is probably not something I could succeed in, but perhaps fertilization is still possible.

How to accelerate your personal growth

Be better than the other guy
There is this fallacy that abounds that the average guy who knows company politics ascends. Actually. It is the incredibly excellent guy who ALSO knows company politics that ascends
Speed up your workflow
Learning how to get things done in a shorter amount of time will always pay off. If there are keyboard shortcuts you can learn; touch typing; speed reading; 'hacks' for software/hardware you continually use; voice dictation; chrome plugins; a better machine - take one week to work out all of these for your work environment - it will pay you back 100x over time
Take the Navy Seal ethic to heart: Slow Is Smooth and Smooth Is Fast
Learn how to do things properly even if it takes more time. Then massive speed can come
Learn Excel to God-Like levels
This is the most underrated asset that can make a key difference. If you understand pivot tables, VBA look ups, Index/Match solutions, 3D sums, arrays, Proper use of the $ sign. You'll be the go-to-guy from new starter to partner
Keep Detailed Files on EVERYONE you work with
Remember their name, city of birth, name of their dog, team they support, name of their wife, where they went on holiday last year. Write that sh*t down. Do you realise how MUCH people will like you if you can bring this up weeks later?
Learn How To Work The Room
Networking events, client meetings. Take a note of spending at least a couple minutes with everyone. Make them smile, listen, make them feel important - THEN leave.
Build alliances
Shit really does the hit the fan sometimes. Make friends with powerful people. There is no 'written-rule' as to how. It can be by getting drunk together, by helping with work. Whatever. Experiment and this will help you with promotions.
Build charisma
Quiet hardworkers do do well. But it's the one's people love being around that do even better. Start by reading a book. This one: The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism
You're always selling
Doesn't matter if you're not in a sales role. You'll sell yourself or the product or an idea. 101 routes to learn this. Pick any you like. Just start from somewhere
Learn to Upsell yourself
In interview (you have them all the time - dating, talking to a senior, a formal interview, negotiations). Know how to qualitatively and quantitatively show your worth
Read more
Don't expect us to have all the answers. Read a couple books on Careers and you'll already be ahead of most: Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?: Seth Godin & How to Think Like a CEO: The 22 Vital Traits You Need to Be the Person at the Top are good places to start.
Use your initiative
If something seems obvious to you. Or you envisage a better way of doing things. Try it out. Those who add value are those who rise
Stay close to Icharus and observe
You will know some who rise meteorically. Learn from how they move, operate and think. Then do better
Be Yourself
Don't try and be someone you're not. Because really, you're not fooling anybody. We're elastic not shape shifters. And shape shifting comes back to bite you on your arse in the end. Authenticity IS loved.

What are the chances of a human surviving a fight against a tiger?

Back when I was 19, I was 6'-2", 185 pounds, in the Navy, and in pretty good shape. One day, a friend and I went to go get tattooed by a man who was known as Royboy. Royboy passed away several years ago due to some health issues, but at the time I got my tattoo from him he was pretty famous as a tattoo artist. He also kept tigers as pets.

Royboy did my tattoo while one of his associates did my friend’s. He finished with mine first so I went to the waiting area to wait for my friend. I picked up a magazine and became engrossed in an article. As I was reading, I became aware of a smell. It smelled like an animal. I put my magazine down only to be confronted by an adult tiger.

I had never seen one up close, but now one was standing right in front of me. This thing was huge. His head was enormous. His paws were the size of dinner plates, and when he opened his giant mouth, the 3 inch long fangs were the only things my mind let me focus on. Royboy had brought him out for me to see: initially, I thought that was pretty cool.

Then, suddenly, the tiger reached up with one paw, grabbed my leg, and violently jerked me out of my chair. Once I was on the floor, he began batting me around with his paws like a housecat playing with a mouse. I was getting battered back and forth and there was nothing I could do about it. Then, he began playfully biting me—the situation was no longer cool. Even though it was play, those big teeth and powerful jaws were a serious danger. Royboy jumped in, pulled the tiger off me, and put him back away.

To that tiger I was just a rag doll he was playing with, hardly putting much effort into the game, and if I’d wanted to stop him there wasn't anything I could have done about it. Had that cat decided to kill me, I wouldn't have had the time to realize just how fucked I was.

An unarmed man doesn't stand a chance against a tiger. They are much too powerful, fast, and unimpressed by any sort of fighting style you may have.

WHAT IS THE HARDEST IQ QUESTION EVER?

Einstein's Puzzle. A person with an IQ of 134 and paper would solve it in half an hour. I guess someone with an IQ of 180+ could solve it at sight.

Let us assume that there are five houses of different colors next to each other on the same road. In each house lives a man of a different nationality. Every man has his favorite drink, his favorite brand of cigarettes, and keeps pets of a particular kind.

The Englishman lives in the red house.
The Swede keeps dogs.
The Dane drinks tea.
The green house is just to the left of the white one.
The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
The Pall Mall smoker keeps birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
The man in the center house drinks milk.
The Norwegian lives in the first house.
The Blend smoker has a neighbor who keeps cats.
The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks bier.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the Dunhill smoker.
The German smokes Prince.
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
The Blend smoker has a neighbor who drinks water.
The question to be answered is: Who keeps fish?
