Legit from my experience, the first rule of a functional marriage, to to try to understand the other persons perspective and respond by putting your opinion into the pool of meaning in a respectful way.
By being persuasive, not abrasive
There is evidence that women are happier without children or a spouse, says happiness expert theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2
My marriage makes me so, so happy. David Brown is the best thing still happening to me. Jeez, I love my hubby die.
But I also realise there are women PERFECTLY happy without a spouse. They aren't "desperate big sisters" they just have a different perspective. And that's ok.
Marriage still isnt an achievement to me. You could find the level of bonding/comfort I have with David with a close female friend,with a community, with a boyfriend for whom the "certificate" wasnt a priority.
The real achievement is finding a life that fulfils you. Lived on your own terms. Peace. Harmony. Love;in whichever form you experience it.
Isn't that what life is about?

First of all, be the daughter of a current Governor or other political heavyweight. That will ensure that your Yoruba demon will have access to juicy contracts and Gucci slippers
1. Many rich & success entrepreneurs arent self aware. In fact there is evidence to suggest that as your level of power increases, self awareness decreases.
So they don't actually know what made them successful.
There is a big role that luck plays in individual stories. A well connected parent. A relationship with an influential politician etc.
However, researchers can look at all the data from lots of wealthy people and distil it to the trends in a way that most individuals cannot.
Those 4 things are
1.Time 2. Money 3. Sex 4. Approval/peace of mind.
If you try selling something other than those 4 things you will fail.
People buy aspirin always. They buy vitamins only occasionally and at unpredictable times. Sell aspirin.
Being valuable and useful is all you ever need to do to sell things. Help people out. Send interesting posts. Write birthday cards. Record videos sharing your ideas for growing their business.
Thread of my mircoeconomics lectures. Economics is usually taught from a Western perspective, so love using Nigerian examples.
Unfortunately, they are Msc level so most people won't be interested aside from a few of the economists/people interested in learning economics
Lecture 1 is an introduction to microeconomics; why do we do what we do? Why do people buy cars that they can't afford? Why do companies rent jets when their profits are squeezed?
Microeconomics tries to offer a scientific explanation for 'money miss road behavior''
This is the R&D phase in a lab with cells in a dish. It is painstaking work. When I was awarded the MEXT Scholarship to study stem cells in Japan this is what I was doing.
Walking from Tokyo Eki to Shimbashi everyday (because no money for transport), resuming at the lab, putting on my white coat.
Its very different intubating a sick patient in a ICU compared to a well patient just needing routine surgery.
You have a more narrow choice of drugs and the chances of it going wrong are way higher.
Wrong choice dose of drugs by doctor and the patient can die.
If the intubation process becomes difficult, which is not uncommon, the doctor may need to cut the patients neck in a very specific way as a last resort.
