This is why you fail

The perception the right people have of you is what matters not jobless minimum wage people

The perception dangote has of you is important the perception iya basira has isn't important learn the difference

And please know that dangote will never ask iya basira her opinion of you if he wanted to change your life .

The sooner you learn this you would inturn learn that dangote didn't get where he is by taking people's opinions... Neither did Bezos or Zuckerberg...
How did they select the people they worked with? By their skill set, they looked around for people who had the right skills they needed

This is why smart people know that this nonsense you wrote is irrelevant.. people's opinions of you don't matter because the right people won't hire you because they think you are nice or kind ? No way!!!

They will hire you or do business with you because they are certain you can deliver

Failures always look to people's opinions or over estimate the importance of peoples opinions

People's opinions do not matter at all

You are contradicting yourself...

One you say Dangote opinion matters then on the other hand you say "people opinion don't matter "

One of laws of power is guard your reputation.

Your reputation is a function of people's collective opinion about you... Lose it, you become vulnerable.

Hedonini:


That's just a symptom of a money obsessed society like Nigeria. As much as I love money (because it helps me enjoy life to the fullest, as a hedonist), and hustle strategically everyday to secure the bag, I don't give a rat's ass about the 'wsdom' or opinion of any rich mofo.

As a man about town who happens to be blessed with good judgment, I know for a fact that most people who have lots of money (legit and illegit) made it either through luck or through mindless consistency of effort, plus providence. It has nothing to do with wisdom. Even those who made it through the latter means, are just creatures/beneficiaries of habit.

I pick nuggets of wisdom from all and sundry. Including (or even especially) those who haven't made it yet because luck hasn't shone on them, or because they haven't been consistent enough to see the battle to a logical conclusion. But they know one or two things that I can use to improve my life and hustle. And I respect them for that, and shamelessly learn from them, and hold them in high esteem. Even if they're in tatters.

You have said it all man, Kudos!

SageMK:
22. Guard your reputation with your life.

23. Sex is overrated.

24. Arsenal will never win a trophy

Gunners fans coming for you

Bustincole:
I disagree wit No 5.... but every other 1 is pretty cool

Unfortunately he said the truth

First day you get Sense

Great points, a lot to learn from every

chrisbaxtian:
surprisingly I agree with most, if not all the things listed here. I also learnt some of these things "late" and I would like to add one important item to the list; the perception people have about you matters. Don't think that what they think is irrelevant. What people say about you when you are not in the room can go a long way in determining the opportunities you can effectively take advantage of. be safe people.

I just had to screenshot this your comment. You have spoken exceedingly well sir!!

What people think about you is not of your business. What is important is what you think about yourself.

You are very right. I thought I was the only one with a contrary opinion to what the person u quoted wrote. I think his view/opinion stems from small- mindedness.

People's 'perceptions' of you don't matter at all. Trust me on that one.

I agree wholly with you

Ok o, be kind to everyone and people take advantage of you. You can never be kind to everyone, some people will push you to be hash with em. Wake up to reality nigga.

So u folks are saying that this ancient saying is wrong:
"Perception is reality."
"If you are perceived to be something, you might as well be it because that's the truth in people's minds. There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception."

PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING.
People have no way of knowing who u really trully are or what u really think.
Maybe the devil is really a sweetheart. We perceive him to be wicked and that's all that matters.

The more I learn about pretty mike, the more I like him.

Lol. You're simplifying the matter. You need to have depth to understand these things. I'm sorry, but I can't write a thesis to explain this to the uninitiated

Carnally, we are neither right nor wrong. We are vessels and every of our act could be manipulated to a desired outcome by spirits.

Nothing is right or wrong on earth. No opinion is good or bad. No morality is good or bad.


We are just living. To live is gain, To die is gain.


Nothing matters.

I like this pretty mike and would like to work for him. People take life too serious as if they owe the earth. Haba

I understand your line of thinking, in fact, I had this same line if thinking for a long time until I had one of two "fortunate" encounters. My experience has taught me that the opinion people have about you, especially when you are going for a leadership position or being pencilled down for "favour" matters a lot. It doesn't matter if the individual is rich or poor, it only takes two or three people to agree on a snide remark for you to miss out on opportunity.

Dudeweedlmao:

It only matters if you're poor.

it matters irrespective of wealth or other material achievements

I new all this when I was in elementary 2

xavuv:
Lol. You probably i your late twenties

you are right

maynia:


What people think about you is not of your business. What is important is what you think about yourself.

they are both important.

Nice one Bro!

At first you sound like an intelligent person but going harsh on the Dude, calling his write up "nonsense" shows that you're one of the folks who cant constructively criticize without stirring resentment from the other folks

Perfect your human relating skills. Sometimes it's all you need to succeed.

Peace

You really don't understand. People's opinions of you do not matter at all.

It's not about being rich, if they where so mart they wouldn't be my neighbor they would be better than I am


So how can two blind people advise each other? To live a life where you want people to say nice things about you everywhere means you are a monkey

Read 48 laws of power , read books and gain some wisdom

People's opinion about you, matter very well.
There is a reason, why they say a good name is better than gold, abi you think they good name they mean is by answering Chukwuka or Olawale.

MartinsD12:

Surprisingly this young man pretty Mike is very talented and also intelligent no wonder he is successful with showbiz fame and also a successful club owner, I agree completely with what he said, all are nothing but the reality truth, thanks Mike.

Successful with what? You meant to say he's rich and till today the real source of his money is as untraceable as that of Emoney.

Crysthaniel:
the Bible book of Ecclesiastes contains intelligence information about facts of life..
if you can finish the book your orientation go change.. try it..

The Book of Ecclesiastes introduced me to deep wisdom in this life. I stumbled upon it years ago, in my lowest moment, but really, I am grateful till today for experiencing the difficulty that led me to Ecclesiastes. Pretty Mike's nugget number 6 is important in this context...

6. Hard times are mostly a blessing in disguise..

No be lie. Hard times can force you to be wise and bring out the best in you.

Olulinks:

It's like you are dumb, people like you will always keep themselves busy with questioning one's wealth than working to improve yourself, it's a shameful mentality, do you even understand the word untraceable e money is the owner of a shipping company, the ceo five stars music is that not traceable, Mike is a club uno owner I mentioned it in my writing, if you don't know what to say shut your miserable mouth up, improve your life rather than question people's wealth, mofo

This is an excellent mindset. Thanks boss.
