• FACTS ABOUT MEN WHO DON’T TALK TOO MUCH...

    Men who don't talk too much can have some distinctive traits or characteristics that set them apart. Here are a few facts about such men:

    1. Observant and Thoughtful: Men who are quieter often take time to observe situations before speaking. They tend to listen more than they talk, and when they do speak, it's usually something well thought out and meaningful.

    2. Reserved or Introverted: While not all quiet men are introverts, many tend to lean towards introversion. They may find social interactions draining and prefer solitude or smaller, more intimate settings rather than large groups or constant chatter.

    3. Comfortable with Silence: These men are typically not uncomfortable with silence. They can enjoy peace and quiet and don’t feel the need to fill every moment with conversation. Silence doesn’t feel awkward to them.

    4. Deep Thinkers: Men who don’t talk much often have a rich inner world. They might spend a lot of time thinking, reflecting, and processing information internally before sharing their thoughts with others.

    5. Strong Listeners: Because they don't talk as much, they often excel at listening. They tend to be good at picking up on subtle cues and paying attention to what others are saying, which can make them appear insightful and empathetic.

    6. Emotionally Reserved: These men may not express their emotions verbally as frequently, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feel deeply. They might show their emotions through actions rather than words, and their quieter nature can sometimes be mistaken for aloofness.

    7. Prefer Quality Over Quantity in Relationships: Men who don't talk much tend to value deep, meaningful conversations over casual small talk. They might form stronger bonds with people who appreciate their quieter approach to communication.

    8. Self-Sufficient: Many quieter men are comfortable with their own company and don't feel the need to be constantly social. They might find satisfaction in hobbies, work, or quiet activities that don't require much verbal interaction.

    9. Private: These men might be more private and reserved about sharing personal details. They are selective about who they open up to and prefer to keep their thoughts and feelings within a close circle of trusted individuals.

    10. Mature and Calm: Often, men who don’t talk too much tend to be more measured in their responses. They may be seen as more calm, collected, and mature, as they take their time to consider their words before speaking.

    Ultimately, not talking much doesn't necessarily mean a man is shy or disinterested; it can often be a sign of someone who values quality over quantity in communication.

  • THE 48 LAWS OF POWER.

    A book written by Robert Greene that offers a series of strategies for obtaining and maintaining power in various situations. Here I leave you a summary of the 48 laws:

    1. Don't outshine the boss: Make your superiors feel superior. Don't expose your talent too much or you might trigger their insecurity.

    2. Don't trust friends too much, use your enemies: Friends betray you more easily, but if you manage to win an enemy, they will be more loyal.

    3. Hide your intentions: Keep people off balance so they can't anticipate your actions.

    4. Always say less than necessary: Silence breeds power, and talking too much reveals your plans.

    5. Protect your reputation at all costs: Reputation is the cornerstone of power.

    6. Call attention at all costs: Be visible to be relevant.

    7. Make others work for you and attribute it: Take advantage of the work and effort of others to your advantage.

  • Read this till end, even if you can't

    1. 0 Every stage of life we ascend had been previously traversed by those who came before us, and will be trodden by those who succeed us. This concept is often expressed in Nigerian pidgin English as "Life na turn by turn".

    2. 0 In leadership, humility is more valuable than honour. It is a currency that guarantees acceptance, visibility and relevance.

    3.0 If leaders are meant to be servants, then humility should be their default mode of operation. It is inappropriate, disrespectful and limiting for a servant to be proud in the presence of his/her master. As a leader, your followers are your masters and you must humbly serve them.

    4.0. For all, I strongly recommend this Masterpiece - More & Beyond: Ageless Lessons on Navigating Leadership and Purpose by Aniekeme Ambrose . Grab a copy and digest.

    5.0 Leaders give CAUTION not ABUSE.

    Shema!

  • The phrase "Pride goeth before a fall" is a proverb that conveys a timeless truth about the consequences of hubris and arrogance. This expression, often attributed to the biblical book of Proverbs, specifically Proverbs 16:18, serves as a cautionary reminder that excessive pride often leads to one's downfall. The full verse in the King James Version states, "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." This succinctly encapsulates the idea that inflated self-esteem or an overestimation of one’s abilities can precipitate failure or calamity.

    At its core, the proverb reflects a profound understanding of human nature and the potential pitfalls of pride. Pride, in this context, is not merely a sense of self-respect or confidence; rather, it denotes an overwhelming belief in one's superiority, often accompanied by disdain for others. This kind of pride blinds individuals to their limitations and the realities surrounding them. It fosters an environment where critical reflection and humility are displaced by a sense of invincibility.

    Historically, many cultures have recognized the dangers of pride. In Greek mythology, the tale of Icarus serves as an illustrative example. Icarus, the son of Daedalus, flew too close to the sun with wings made of wax and feathers, despite his father’s warnings. His hubris and desire to soar higher than he should have ultimately led to his demise when the sun melted the wax, causing him to fall into the sea. This story underscores the idea that overstepping one’s bounds, motivated by pride, can lead to disastrous outcomes.

    In literature, the theme of pride preceding a fall recurs frequently. Shakespeare’s characters often embody this lesson. For instance, in "Macbeth," the titular character’s ambition and pride lead him to commit heinous acts in pursuit of power. His initial success and rise to the throne are ultimately overshadowed by guilt, paranoia, and the inevitable downfall that follows. Similarly, in "Hamlet," the pride of King Claudius in his cunning and deceit leads to a chain of events that culminates in tragedy for nearly all characters involved.

    The implications of this proverb extend beyond individual narratives and into broader social and political contexts. Leaders who exhibit pride and arrogance often make decisions that can lead to widespread consequences. History is replete with examples of leaders whose inflated sense of self-importance led to catastrophic failures, whether through misguided policies, neglect of counsel, or an unwillingness to acknowledge their limitations. The fall of empires, the collapse of businesses, and the failure of policies can often be traced back to the hubris of those in power.

    In contemporary society, the dangers of pride manifest in various forms, particularly in the age of social media, where self-promotion can easily lead to a distorted self-image and inflated ego. The relentless pursuit of validation through likes and followers can foster an environment where individuals feel invulnerable, leading to risky behaviors and decisions. The public downfall of many social media influencers and celebrities often serves as a stark reminder of how pride can lead to a swift reversal of fortune.

    Moreover, the personal ramifications of pride can affect relationships and community dynamics. Individuals who prioritize their own ego over collaboration and mutual respect often find themselves isolated. The inability to recognize the value of others can lead to missed opportunities for growth, learning, and connection. Pride can create barriers to effective communication, understanding, and empathy, ultimately resulting in relational fractures.

    In conclusion, "Pride goeth before a fall" serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between self-confidence and overweening pride. It speaks to the fundamental human experience and the need for humility. Recognizing one's limitations, valuing the contributions of others, and maintaining a grounded perspective are essential in navigating both personal and collective journeys. By acknowledging the potential pitfalls of pride, individuals can strive for a more balanced existence, fostering resilience and wisdom in the face of life’s inevitable challenges. This profound wisdom, deeply rooted in history and literature, remains relevant today, urging us all to reflect on the role of pride in our lives and its capacity to shape our destinies.
