The Man "If you can't beat them, join them" is what differentiates the MAN from the PEOPLE. The MAN is that person you always look up to for dispatch of authority, the MAN is that person you always feedback your progress as a report, and the MAN is that person you will always answer to. If you want to be the MAN, do not join if you can't beat them but create and build an empire of your own. Image https://www.artstation.com/artwork/VZvAX

What's your purpose (s) A screenplay some will call it or a marketplace some will name it, is what life is about. We all have our purposes in life, what we are meant to offer, and what we want to take back. No one is useless on earth, not even the dead, talk more of the living, either mad, healthy, rich, poor, and the handicaps. We all have a reason to be here and that reason should be our priority.

Be the driver not the passenger I am talking about temperament. Every single person alive today has a breaking point at which they break and show their other side. The reason some seem to be this calm and cool guy is that they learn to manage their temperament. They tame it and force it to be the passenger in their life while they remain as the driver. They control their personalities and keep a watch on their emotion to avoid the other side taking over. When you as an individual can do this, trust me, you will have a peaceful life.

Wealth and poverty None of these can exist without the other. Someone must be poor before we can recognise the other as a wealthy person and someone must be wealthy for us to identify the other person as a poor person. Everyone can't be wealthy, neither everyone can be poor. The value of poverty to wealth we read today is based on what one has that the other doesn't. The line between poverty and wealth is a very thin line. It can take just seconds or minutes for a poor man to become wealthy and vise versa. It is all about what life throws at you and how you handle it. Let the wealthy ones try as much as possible to forget the poor ones cos without the poor, there can't be the rich.

How you dress is the way you will be addressed Showing off your cleavage or wearing skimpy dresses will only portray you in a bad light to people. Most people define you by what you wear without even getting to know you personally and remember the first impression lasts longer, so be mindful of how you present yourself to people. Besides, there are a lot of perverts out there and it is said that one of the factors that lead to rape is dressing provocatively, which I don't agree with, but obedience is better than sacrifice you know. It is better to be safe than sorry. Fashion can be done without exposing your body part & you would feel comfortable in it, Fashion is not madness. Remember we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Weird uses of toothpaste Toothpastes are meant to keep our teeth clean and healthy as we all know it but there are other uses of toothpaste that are kind of weird. Some of these uses are known by some of us, but I will still proceed to state them cos of those that are yet to know them. Weird uses of toothpastes **1. To removes stubborn odour:** Yes, to remove stubborn odour from your hand. When you cut fish, onions, and other sources of the stubborn odour, the odour tends to stay for a while even after washing your hand. The best way to remove the odour instantly without waiting for the smell to gradually go away is by washing your hand with toothpaste, a good amount. Try this and get back to me. **2. To remove stains from the surface of pressing iron:** Some of us know this already. Sometimes when we iron our clothes, so stains usually stay on the surface of the pressing iron, maybe due to overheating or burnt cloth residues. To remove this stain so that you can continue your smooth ironing, just apply toothpaste to the surface of the iron and get a clean rag to wipe the stain off **3. Cleaning of fingernails:** Weird right? But it is true. You can use toothpaste to clean your fingernails by spreading it on your nails and wash off after some minutes. **4. To eradicate scratches on screens of phones:** All you have to do is apply a small amount on the screen of your phone that has scratches then wipe vigorously with a clean fabric. Make sure you wipe every element of toothpaste from the screen to have a sweet, smooth screen back. There you have it, weird things you can use toothpaste for. **Weird and real.** Image https://www.dasmile.com/does-sensitive-teeth-toothpaste-really-work/

Why go naked? **Yes, why go naked?** It is no new thing to us anymore about ladies that go naked on social media all in the name of slaying or giveaway. It is becoming more rampant and honors pointed to ladies are reducing drastically cos some stupid ones have decided to tarnish the dent the reputation of ladies in general. **I am sorry to say this but it is the truth.** Ask an average random guy out there about what a lady can do to get money, his response will always carry the element of what our fellow ladies are doing on social media to get money. Stripping naked on live broadcasts, twerking for money that will eventually not follow them to their grave when they die, keeping a bad record for their future child to see (wait, I am sure most of them don't even think of this). Your child will definitely see all your social media madness when he or she grows to the extent he or she can operate the internet, except your child will carry on the mad legacy. It is ironic seeing all of these happening with ladies that at the end of the day, they will be the ones castigating rapists. **Why won't there be rape cases everywhere?** To be frank with you all doing all those social media rubbish, you are just inferior to yourself that you can never make it in life without going naked for suitors.
