What Does a Woman Really Want?

This is a very interesting story and a lesson for men.

(To men) Please take time to ponder. ��

(To women) Just enjoy the story. ��

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom.

The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question was:
*What do women really want?*

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man. And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but first he would have to agree to her price.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend. Young Arthur was horrified.

She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.

He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden.

But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.

Arthur's question thus:
"What a woman really wants?"

She said, "A woman wants to be in charge of her own life."

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth, and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.

The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was sitting by the bed.

The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth become her horrible and deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other half.

"Which would you prefer?" She asked him. "BEAUTIFUL during the DAY... OR at NIGHT?"

Lancelot pondered the predicament.

During the day, he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!

OR,

would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day? But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous moments with?

(If you are a man reading this) What would YOUR choice be?

(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?

And Lancelot's choice is given below...

BUT, please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below!

OKAY?

Knowing the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now, what is the moral to this 

The moral is...

1. There is a 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is. It's how a man manages it

2. If you let a woman decide on her own she gives u d best. but if u force her with ur decisions she becomes a witch.

Hmmmm
What do you think ?

So, be careful how you treat a woman.

Love Indeed

A very poor man lived with his wife whose hair was very long. One day the wife asked her husband to buy her a comb for her long hair so that it can continue to grow well and to be well groomed.
The man felt sorry and said he didn't have money even to fix the strap of his watch which had just broken. The wife did not insist.
On his way to work that day the man passed by a watch shop, sold his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife. He came back home in the evening with a comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised to see his wife with very short hair. She had cut and sold her hair and bought a brand new watch for her husband.
Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love. Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.
Give love and show love where it matters.  How great our world will be if only we, as couple,  friends,  colleagues,  neighbours etc.  outdo each other in love and sacrifice. How awesome it will be that we each wake up thinking of what to do to make each other happy..

Let's show love.

Integrity and Life

.....At the point of death, a man, Tom Smith, called his children and he advised them to follow his footsteps so that they can have peace of mind in all that they do..

His daughter, Sara, said,
"Daddy, its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank..
Other fathers' that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of public funds left houses and properties for their children; even this house we live in is a rented apartment..
Sorry, I can't emulate you, just go, let's chart our own course..

Few moments later, their father gave up the spirit..

Three years later, Sara went for an interview in a multinational company..
At interview the Chairman of the committee asked,
"Which Smith are you..??"

Sara replied,
"I am Sara Smith. My Dad Tom Smith is now late.."

Chairman cuts in,
"O my God, you are Tom Smith's daughter..?"

He turned to the  other members and said,
"This Smith man was the one that signed my membership form into the Institute of Administrators and his recommendation earned me where I am today. He did all these free. I didn't even know his address, he never knew me. He just did it for me.."
He turned to Sara,
"I have no questions for you, consider yourself as having gotten this job, come tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.."

Sara Smith became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two Cars with Drivers, A duplex attached to the office, and a salary of £1,000,000 per month excluding allowances and other costs..

After two years of working in the company, the MD of the company came from America to announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with high integrity was sought after, again the company's Consultant nominated Sara Smith..

In an interview, she was asked the secret of her success,,

With tears, she replied, "My Daddy paved these ways for me. It was after he died that I knew that he was financially poor but stinkingly rich in integrity, discipline and honesty".

She was asked again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still after a long time..

She replied, "At the point of death, I insulted my dad for being an honest man of integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now. I didn't work for all these, he did it for me to just walk in".

So, finally she was asked, "Will you follow your father's foot steps as he requested ?"

And her simple answer was, "l now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my living room and at the entrance of my house. He deserves whatever I have after God".

Are you like Tom Smith..?
It pays to build a name, the reward doesn't come quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer..

Integrity, discipline, self control and fear of God makes a man wealthy, not the fat bank account..

Leave a good heritage for your children..

As an agent of CHANGE, please share this true life story with your loved ones..```

WHAT A MOTHER TOLD HER SON A DAY BEFORE HIS WEDDING

Mummy boy, you are now a man. Tomorrow
you will have a new mother, a new cook and a new person to share all your secrets with. It will no longer be me but her. Love your new mum even more than you love me. Before you walk
into her arms forever, let me give you some
words to guide you.
There was a day I was arguing with your father.
We were screaming, Tempers were high. I was angry and He was angry. Then I called him an idiot! He was shocked, He looked at me asking how dare I call him that, Immediately started
calling him idiot, fool, stupid, crazy, I called him all sort of name. Guess what he did? He didn’t raise his hands to hit me. He just walked away,banging the door as he went out.
My Son, If your father had hit me and destroyed my eyes, how will you feel sitting here with me
today? How will you regard him as your father?
Would you have been proud of him or would
you be blaming me for calling him names?
Never hit your wife! No matter the provocation
just walk away and things will be normal.
Whenever she offends you, think of this story I just told you, it could have been your mum!
Before I forget, after he left, I was filled with
guilt. We slept on same bed that night and I went to him the next day. I pleaded with him, I did all I could to show am sorry and he forgave
me. That day I cooked his favourite food, yes
you know he loves Pounded yam & Vegetable soup right? After that day, I never called him names, my respect for him was ten times stronger.
There is something very important you must always do, my son listen very carefully, defend
your wife. When she is under pressure, stand by her. If your friends hates her, it is your duty to make them see her as a Queen. Your Uncle, I mean Uncle Yusuf, never liked me. But Ur father was always supportive until his perception
changed.
There was a day your Father was going to host the owner of his company and friends. They were three of them. That day I was in the kitchen cooking for them and your father went to buy drinks. When the table was set and food was served. Everyone started eating. Then I
remembered I did not add salt in the food. I
was embarrassed. Your father tasted the food and looked at me. He immediately turned to the guests. He told them that he instructed his wife
last month not to add salt whenever she is
cooking because of some problem with his body.
He said it in a funny way and everyone laughed!
The guests understood and he asked me to bring salt and everyone added according to their
taste. He managed to eat the food without salt.
After the guest left, he went on his knees and
asked God to forgive him for lying.
Your wife is like a baby, sometimes she doesn't know what to say or do. Stand up and speak for her!
Now let me talk to you about Sex. You see Sex is a wonderful thing. Do not be surprised if your
wife enjoy and need Sex more than you do.
There were days, I needed Sex more than your father and there were days he needed it more than me but the important thing is to always try to satisfy the other when they need you. Don’t
always think of your self.
There was a time things were hard and I
needed to do two jobs to support your father.
One night I was so tired. When I got to bed he was in the mood. He tried to make love to me
and I didn’t refuse him. I was tired but I felt I needed to be there when he needed me. When he tried undressing me, he saw my looks and he
stopped. He asked what was wrong and I said nothing. But he understood me better. He stopped and then started telling me stories until I fell asleep.
My son, Sex is best enjoyed when the two
parties are physically and mentally ready for it.
Sometimes, read your wife and understand her.
Make it a habit to go anywhere with your wife.
Beside your job, move around with her. If
anyone invites you to his house and told you not to come with your wife then be very careful.
Use wisdom.
I know you love mummy… I know you tell me all your problems.
But now things will be different.
Let your wife be the first to know before me.
Let her be the first to see before me.
When you have problems with her don’t run to me immediately. Wait for a day to pass and
then talk to her about it. Pray about it. Report her to nobody but talk issues out within yourself.
Finally, don’t forget to come and visit me with
your wife every month!
I know you will have a happy home. You will
always be mummy’s boy. God will bless your home. Pls don't forget God, pray & seek His assistance always..

Salary Visionaries

The poorest group of people in the world are Salary earners. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty. Referring to them as servants of civil which made them  uncivilized. They categorized them as common men, tax payers and middle class citizens. If you ask who are highest class citizens, you will hear people who create wealth with their ideas. People who are Entrepreneurs in making and people with wisdom to create and innovate. (nothing to something).

Salary is continuously being awaited every month ending and any slight delay brings about heartbreaking anxiety and disappointment. Family become worried. Mind set to chaos and relatively angry. But when the salary finally arrived, we end up paying unexpected debts. The lack of financial management only set in the philosophy of salary earners.

Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need a Secondary Source of income to balance. Applying a sense of creativity, ideas and personal as well as investment management is the key to today modern world success.

Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, it doesn't CURE it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT Cures Poverty. It sometimes affect the mind and made you lazy, kill the immune of commitments and endurances. Destroy the Mindsets of goals and ideas. It affect your performances and weakens your thoughtfulness, it makes you dream big without proper planing.

Salary earners always look more worried and afraid of being poor. They are mostly the stingy ones and  probably the complained colleagues. They see wealth only when they wait for it, but they know nothing about creating wealth. They discuss more about richest men and women but failed to figure out how they arrived to that destinations.

Salary visionaries are the worst hit of economic problems in every nation of the world. They are the ones who government always lied to about the global hit of economic recession because they allow their brain to be held in recession. They are those who after 60 years for national services wait for government to give them some changes before carter for their families. If not likely become beggars waiting for pensions and gratuity.

You will only be respected and consider rich among your folks only when you are earning that salary, after your retirement, you will be seen as an agents of disturbances. Those folks that surrounded you when you have and now you have not will be calling you hopeless man.

I therefore urge our youths who scavenge for white collar jobs for Salary to be  FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT and delve into entrepreneurship because Salary is a lifetime disappointment and visionless opportunity of wealth and happiness that will never come to fruition.

That's my definition of Salary Visionaries youths who fail to use ideas and potentiality in life to be productive. 

I rather create wealth than waiting for wealth. I rather create jobs than waiting for jobs.

This is not a challenge, this is a test and also a kindly advice from brother to brothers.
