7 Reasons to Remain Single
7 THINGS ONE WILL NEED TO CONSIDER BEFORE GETTING INTO MARRIAGE.
“Always be prepared to start”, Joe Montana advices.
- If you find it difficult to forgive, maybe you just remain single because you’ll need to forgive a lot in marriage
- If you are getting married because of the things you desire or hope to gain from the other person, please have a rethink, so that you dont get disappointed.
- If you know you can’t be faithful, why defile the institution of marriage?
- If you can’t endure irritations, then don’t go in yet
- “All my friends are getting married”; Don’t get married out of desperation.
- If you know you find it difficulty to be submissive (ladies) , please take care of this before going into marriage. You’ll need to be submissive for the sake of order and peace.
- If you can’t stand being corrected, hmmn, big problem!
- If your domestic scorecard is zero (ladies), hmmn, no matter how many servants you have, fix this before going into marriage

Interpretations and Misinterpretations
At times, Certain things look differently depending on which side you approach them. The following story gives a vivid illustration of this fact.
There was a certain worker who had the privilege of working in an organization that paid allowance to employee children.
After some time, this practice got expensive and management decided to hold a review meeting. In the course of the argument that ensued in the board room, this man got up and said, “Children are a gift from God therefore and there is nothing wrong in my having as many as come” This position got the goats of this other lady who countered and said, “Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much, we wear raincoats”.
Hmmn! Such an interesting argument. What do you think?

Tips on Lasting Friendships: Signs of a breaking relationship
Watch out for these signs, friendship usually does not break in a day, It is such a subtle process.
- When friendship is at the brinks, communication or contact is minimal.
- In the course of time, sentiments build up. The thought begins to sound like “Let me let him, let her be”
- Give it a little more time and some form of pride sets in. Each will think “why should I be the one to reach out first”
- Then gradually memory of each other becomes weak and the emotional bridge breaks
- Two friends make faces and shun each other
“But what really happened?” Probably some flimsy sorts.

“I Look To You” – Whitney Houston
Hope is not lost when to Heaven, we look
Listen to Whitney on “I Look To You”
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all…
I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong…
And every road that I’ve taken
Led to my regret
And I don’t know if I’m gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

Things predicted to happen in the next 5 years
Certainly, in the next few years, many a things will not remain what they are today.
“Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
These are some of the things in my mind when I blogged this:
- In the next five years, one would have been older by five years. That means we should remember that time is moving fast and one would therefore need to take stock.
- In the next five years, the prices of things we see would have changed. I think everyone should factor this in the financial plans.
- In the next five years, many of today’s technology would have changed. Its good to have this mindset when acquiring equipment.
- In the next five years, the skill set required to keep you on the job may have changed. Its not a bad idea to make plan to keep pace
- …
Similarly, in the next few years, who knows … who knows, rapture may happen. Are we ready?

Inspiring Thoughts
These thoughts are inspiring, and the meanings, profound. Enjoy the lines.
- Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles; it rather takes away today’s PEACE.
- Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout life.
- All things in life are temporary. When things go well, enjoy them, and when things turn out the other way, don’t worry, they wont last long either.
- Old friends are like Gold and new friends, like Diamond. If you get a diamond, don’t forget the gold. To hold a diamond, you always need a base of gold.
- Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes years to write but a few seconds to burn.
- Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, “Relax, FRIEND; it’s just a bend, not the end!”
- When God shows up and solves your problems, that means you have faith in HIS abilities; when God doesn’t solve your problems, then that means He has faith in YOUR abilities.
- When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you too.
- A blind person asked God: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, losing your vision!”

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding”. ~ Albert Einstein
“A people free to choose will always choose peace” ~ Ronald Reagan

Values – those principles that guide behaviour
Have you at times wondered why you behave the way you do?
Think about your VALUES . They are most probably the reason(s) why you do what you do or behave the way you do. Some call it ethical values, others call it moral principles.
What are Values?
VALUES are like filters, they determine what is acceptable to you or not. whatever comes out of your mouth or manifests in your behaviour depends on what your values have allowed to pass or not to pass.
For instance:
If you value Justice — you will not oppress others and you will tend to dislike oppressors
If you value friendship — you’ll be tend to be forgiving
If you value Truth — you will not lie against another and you will not want to associate with people that lie
If you value good health, you’ll be mindful of what you eat
If you value Peace of mind, you’d want to stay away from trouble etc
Values are those principles that guide our actions and inactions.
The Two Sides of the Number Line: understanding a nagging woman
Why actually would a woman call her husband “useless man” ? Let’s answer this question with a simple illustration.
If a man currently has 5 oranges but owes 14 oranges, how many oranges does he have in effect? The answer is -9. That is, he’s still in deficit of 9 oranges if he pays back the 5 he currently has.
That simply means, as long as what he owes outweighs what he pays back, in effect, he is still in deficit. This is a general truth. This is the lesson of the Number Line.

WHAT HAS GONE WRONG?
