It is rather crucial to remember that words of wisdom are key to a successful existence here on earth, no wonder our elders say that a word is enough for the wise. Today, i want to share with you a write up i stumbled upon while surfing the net, painfully enough i was unable to get the author of this wonderful piece. In celebration of the victory of Germany during the 2014 FIFA world cup in Brazil, i give you this gift, do apply each word with wisdom.
1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman
and she never asked you if you're saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying
the attention, don’t marry her.
2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to
you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you've found a woman
like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don't let her go.
3. My son, don't confine the position of
your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had
farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.
4. My son, if I tell you that you're the
head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.
5. My son, if you want to have a long
life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her
to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in
your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.
6. My son, don't ever beat your woman, the
pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that
means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.
7. My son, now that you're married, if you
live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.
8. My son, in our days, we had many wives
and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are
hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.
9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did
meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but
remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.
10. My son, don't be carried away when you
start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew
how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all
along.
11. My son, when I threw little stones or
whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was
not for sex, it was because I missed her so much.
12. My son, remember, when you say your
wife has changed, there could be something you've stopped doing too.
13. My son, your mother, Adaeze rode the
bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that
won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any
woman, there are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared you to
any man?
15. My son, there is this thing you people
call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the
house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to
start paying the other part.
16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and
I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t
blame her, what I didn't tell you is that our women had prestige.
17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to
school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my
family name, please don’t make that mistake, the kind of female achievers I see
nowadays has made the male-gender an ordinary tag.
18. My son, your mother have once locked up
the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not
raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to
tell you that I never for once beat your mother.
19. My son, in our days, our women had more
of natural beauty, though I wouldn't lie to you, some had minor painting of
their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo,
but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women
of nowadays.
20. My son, your mother and I are not
interested in what happens in your marriage; try to handle issues without
always coming to us.
21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s
first sewing machine for her, help your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re
pursuing yours.
22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me
and your mother, it’s a secret of growing old and having children to take care
of you too.
23. My son, pray with your family, there is
a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God that knows everything, everyday.
