As Shared by my Boss..

My younger brother, whose love for me and my family is not in doubt sent this piece to me. Am in total agreement with the content, and with love, I share with you. It may not be applicable to all my friends on this forum, but without doubt, someone will benefit from it. :

*Ten ways to ensure you remain poor in 2017*

1. Never wake up early. Keep stretching & turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing if there are no bedbugs, why hurry to get up??

2. Never plan how to spend your money. Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it's finished, you try to count and recall how you spent it.

3. Don’t think of saving until you have real big money. How can you save when you earn so little? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your burning needs..

4. Don’t engage in activities usually reserved for the "uneducated ". How can you a graduate engage in petty trade or home based production? That's for people who never went to school. How can you, with your MSc and Chieftaincy titles resort to ordinary trading or small-scale business? You need to borrow money at 24% interest to buy land at Ikoyi and Maitama and build  estates and hotels like all those rich Americans.

5. Don't think of starting a business until an angel comes from heaven and gives you capital. How do they expect you to invest before you get millions of Naira?? Even though more than half the businesses in your town were started with a few hundred Naira, you as a smart person can only start with millions.

6. Complain about everything except your own attitude. Blame the system, the government (especially PDP and APC) and the banks that refuse to lend you money. They are all bad and do not want you to get rich. Blame Trump for hating blacks.

7. Spend more than you earn. To achieve this, buy consumer product on credit and keep borrowing from friends and employers. Join MMM as soon as it unfreezes so you can make a killing fast. Remember it's the first people that invest that reap most.

8. Compete in dressing. Make sure you wear the latest clothes among all workers in your office.Whenever your neighbor buys a new phone, you get one that is more expensive. You can go to Dubai to get clothes at a much cheaper rate than at Lekki or Victoria Island shops.

9. Get yourself a nice and prestigious car that costs more than your gross annual pay. Afterall our parents used to get car loans to buy brand new cars and pay back in four years. Why must ours be different?

10. Give your children everything they ask for since you're such a loving parent. Make sure you get the latest PS4 if you only bought the first version.....
