Know your numbers.

Whenever you talk about anything always quote the numbers.

Say 2 out of 20 people have this or that…, 60% of children are this or that…, et cetera.

Have your facts right.

Know what you really know, what you just have a clue about and what you don’t know.

In connection to that, treat all unconfirmed information as rumors and take an effort to research and confirm that bits of knowledge that interest’s you.

Be fast to acknowledge what you don’t know or just shut up.

Tell a story.

If the discussion is about a relative topic, package your point in a story.

Tell it so well that even if someone doesn’t agree with your point, they at least agree with your story; and trust me, you have convinced them already.

poem / May 5, 2019

Now that am here, now that we are here;

What shall I lose to say what I didn’t like about you?

You cooked good meals I know…

You washed my clothes well…

You tendered our house always…

But that’s not what I choose you for;

I wanted a helper, you were;

I wanted love, you were;

I wanted to be loved, you did;

I wanted someone your shape,

I wanted someone your height,

I wanted someone your smile,

I wanted someone your charisma,

I wanted someone your aura,

I wanted anything and everything you.

And now we got to say goodbyes,

I wish you a beautiful life,

I wish you prosperous endeavors,

I wish you fruitful encounters.

I loved you like my heart,

I grew to love you more than me,

I had matured in love with you,

You helped me learn true love,

I learnt…

For anything I did wrong, bear my apologies.

I did it all with good intention.

I would ask you to stay once more,

But I don’t want to live doing that,

Go well and live well,

I hope we meet sometime and somewhere we are both happy,

I wish you success and luck in love,

Am sorry if you didn’t feel loved by me,

I realize there are some things I don’t want to change about me,

As I realize there are some things you won’t compromise either,

Am really, really sorry for anything that hurt you, it was never intentional,

Don’t worry about me, I will be fine, I’ll try to be fine…
