How to find your own man

LOVE, EMOTION AND RELATIONSHIP
1. visualize the kind of man you want i.e height, colour, character, life style, background etc. speak it to reality every morning and night. 2. Prepare to be a wife, change your mode of life from girlish nature and character to that of a woman-an articulate woman of substance. 3. Visit places you can find the type of man you want. i.e small party, cocktail, weddings, seminars etc. you must not lock yourself in door, learn to interact as much as possible. 4. Be observant and bold to initiate friendship or associate with the opposite sex. Exchange business ideas. 5. Build a healthy self esteem, these will help you in communicating well with people and in your relationship. The way you handle and relate with friends and colleagues confidently tells a lot about you. These are the qualities people will admire in you. 6. Be calculative, don't compromise on your ethics and never be stubborn or hard on your man. During the first few meeting, men fall in love through their eyes, beware of your look, it will always judge you.

Saying
SETTING GOALS BY FAILING TO PLAN, YOU ARE PLANNING TO FAIL.

&

Inspiration

No one actually plans deliberately to fail. No one decides in advance to live a life of underachievement and frustration, but by failing to decide exactly what you want, you end up living unconsciously and unintentionally by the law of accident. Then , what happens to you in life will appear to be a series of random occurrences over which you have little control. To show how prevalent this attitude is, in a recent survey, 63 percent of respondent said that they believe that the only way they were going to be able to retire financially independent was if they won a lottery of some kind. This means that majority of people think that their financial lives are simply a great gamble in which they exert very little control. They are living by accident. People who live by the law of accident tend to be negative, pessimistic, and helpless and feel as though they have little control over their lives. People living under the shadow of the law of accident blame others for their problems. They continually make excuses, perform well below their potentials, and indulge in various form of escapism, such as endless television watching, alcohol, drugs, and aimless socializing. The wonderful thing about goal is that the very act of setting goals free you from living under the law of accident and puts you squarely under the law of control and under the law of cause and effect. The setting of goals gives you a feeling of power, purpose and forward direction. Goal setting puts you in charge of your life and makes you feel terrific about yourself. This is why goal setting is called the `Master skill' of success. It is the one skill that is probably more important to your overall happiness and wellbeing than any other skill that you can develop. It puts you in the driver's seat. -------Brain Tracy

LOVE, LUST AND DECEIT

STORIES THAT TOUCH TRUE LIFE STORIES Tessy met Jordan on her way to work one bright Sunday mning. He paid her fair, though she thanked him but didn't look at his face because she was late for work. So it was that for whole of that week Jordan paid her transport fair. She on her part felt it was her lucky week and didn't know that, it was the same person that was paying for her fair the whole week. Jordan on his part couldn't control himself for he has fallen irrevocably in love with Tessy. Jordan had to park his car that morning as a result of an electrical fault it developed that morning, he took the bus to work and providence smiled at him, for that was the day he met Tessy. After three days of paying for her fair he came down from the bus with her unknown to her and walked behind her to her office. Jordan felt that having woken up earlier than usual every morning just to get to the bus stop before her in order to board the same bus with her every day. It was high time he makes his face known to her seeing that she was not even ready to acknowledge him though not out of pride but because she

was just not the sociable type, so each time she heard the conductor say someone has paid for you she just say thank you and went her way. A week later,Jordan went to wait for Tessy to close from work so that he can give her a ride home. She came out of the office complex and saw a red shinning car with the driver smiling at her,`Good afternoon young lady he greeted and she answered him but a little surprise can I give you a ride home? he said, Tessy thinking she had met him somewhere before asked if he was one of her students or a member of her church but he said no, she declined his offer but he persisted and even told her he was the one that has being paying her fair in the previous week and that made her to agree.

The love between them grew so fast that everybody wondered if they had known each other for years instead of just one month, Jordan suddenly became everything to her friend, lover, confident and all. He bought her gifts with the slightest excuse and spoiled her silly, they both agreed that the relationship will not be consummated since they were both Christians and really wants to marry, they were both in cloud seven as they began to make plans to settle down. He texts and calls without reason, both families were aware of their relationship and approved of the wedding. ...To be continued

I Have 57 Tatoos -Tonto

This time, this lady who almost won the 2006 edition of AMBO Next Movie Star, a reality TV show, is being alleged to have been sold to the devil. This allegation is coming courtesy of a tattoo picture of Tonto on her back, which she posted for Afri-Grandeur magazine. The said picture has generated lots of comments and arguments among fans of this light skinned actress. A closer look at the controversial photograph reveals a diabolic horn clinched with a set of fingers capping a heart tied with a long hair. This, as argued by the accusers, is a sign of the devil. They believe that only those that worship, or have a connection with or have sold themselves to the devil carry and bear such sign (horn).The question on the lips of many is; 'why would this petrol chemical engineer-cum-actress go this far? Why would she associate herself with the devil, when she should have

This position of hers has made people wonder how a lady of her status would not pay a listening ear to what people have been saying about Unarguably one of Nollywood most controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh, who has had a quick rise to fame her.
