The Two Shades. From the streets straight to our homes we see traces of **dominance** happening all around us. The **biggest challenge** is that even the **newly** **born** is **indirectly** thought how to dominate in life. It is no one's fault since **science** made us understand that the race for **survival** starts right from the **point of ejaculation**. A man releases **millions of sperm cells** in the process of ejaculation but out of millions, only one or less than five sperm cell makes it. This does not in any way **guarantee** the survival of the sperm cell that has **succeeded in fertilising** the egg of the woman. It will also keep fighting to stay otherwise it will be **flushed** out through **miscarriage**. This is certainly why we **develop** that strong sense of dominance anywhere we find ourselves. If you must know, anyone who does not develop this **domineering spirit** or **attitude** will certainly find it **hard to survive in life**. It does not matter who your parents are or how rich they are, it does not matter how **handsome** or **beautiful** you are, it does not even matter how built your body physique is, what matters is that you must be ready to **outplay others** at all times in other to succeed. This is where the major challenge lies in life. A lot of us misunderstand this and it has led us into developing the domineering mindset in a **negative form**. This post will look at the various forms of dominance. **Note:** *Every idea or opinion expressed in this post are purely the writer's thoughts borne out of the experience gained over the years.* ****Dirty Domineering Mindset.**** Most of us are in this **category** either **knowingly** or **unknowingly**. Just take a look at yourself in the mirror, who do you see?

Have you done that already, now, who did you see? This is one question we fail to answer at times like this because we think or believe that we are **good**, therefore the question is not meant for us. Have you had an opportunity to move from not **having money** to the stage where you find yourself having money to spend around at any time? You might be surprised to see yourself becoming a **lord** over your friends. These are people you were living life with but the moment money comes, you become a boss to them even without you knowing it. If you are reading this and you **observed** that some of your friends especially those who are not rich left you the moment you made some **millions**, that is a clear sign that you may have become **bossy** unknowingly and instead of them sticking around and taking the ~~shit,~~ they decided to give you **space**. Most times you will be **blinded** by the idea that they are not **happy** for you but that's the **contrary**. This does not mean that some friends may decide to stay away from you the moment you make some cool money out of **jealousy**. Anything is possible in life therefore we must try to look **deeper** into every situation. This does not only occur in cases of money alone. There are times when you find yourself in an **elevated** position either in the **office** or in your **community**, how do you treat your friends, especially those who were there with you before the elevation? Most times you find out that your **relationship** with them begins to **suffer** because you have allowed your bossy nature to **manifest**. One **truth** about life is that every single one of us has a domineering spirit inside of us, it is only a matter of **an increase in money flow**, elevated positions or other things that can open up the dominance **doorway**. Let us look at the second kind of dominance. ****Positive Dominance****

This is the kind of dominance most of us experienced during our **primary**, **secondary/high school** and **university/college** days. It is one of the reasons why you will spend hours **studying** and **learning** because you would not want your **mates** to have better **results** than you. It was also at this stage that most of us began to receive a serious **flogging** from our parents or guardians any time we perform below per. For those of you from the **Western** world, you may not have **witnessed** this but it was a part of us and it **contributed** to our **success** in Academics. We can also witness this form of dominance on this **platform**. You have seen a lot of people who **complain** about not getting the **attention** of Rusty in their posts, this complaint is **prompted** by what they see. When they see other people's posts and how the rusty tips them, it makes them **work harder** to achieve the same success. Those who are already **enjoying** success will increase their work rate because they would not want to **lose** their dominance on the platform. You may not understand what all the **big names** on this platform go through every day to **maintain** their dominance. This is where **positive** dominance comes in because it keeps everyone on their toes. I can go on and on about the positivity in dominance but I will end the post at this point to allow the things I have said already to **sink** in. Mind you, you go to work and give your best at it because you want to maintain your position or get an opportunity for a **promotion**. Whatever we do in life, if we do not allow positive dominance to be the **driving force**, we may end up not succeeding.
