My Grandson,

From Day one, tell your boyfriend/girlfriend what you expect in the relationship and find out what they also expect. In that case both of you are clear on the rules of engagement. Don't play am-in-love-so-let's-wait-a-little Prank on anyone later to talk as if they were supposed to read your mind and know what you expected.

My Grandson,

I mean look around you, relationships everywhere are giving off that tssrrr sound like naked electric wires touching each other.... You think its only hot in your room? Hmm smh... You have no 'eye-dear'... So tonight, forget about the pain, pretend it's not dry between the two of you, forget about that guy whose voice gives you the shivers and the lady with the Venus Smile.... Pick your phone and text something sweet to your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife... Make it humorous or they wont get it... ”Hey trooper(or whatever your call him...or her)... Just so you know am thinking of you....much as you are a heap of troubles on two legs... You kindda cute...and I like you just the way you are... Sleep tight fairy(her)/Stallion (him) mmwwaahh...right on your...”

I am sure some smile will find a few faces and some dots would be reconnected and some dead old fire wood would pick up sparks....

My Grandson,

For a relationship to be successful, there must be A DOUBLE COINCIDENCE OF WANTS

The man has exactly what the lady is looking for and the lady also has exactly what the man is looking for. Both are willing to exchange what they individually have for what the other person has; same amount, same quality, same period. That is the foundation of a barter trade. In this case we say there are no excess demands or excess supplies. The relationship is in equilibrium

My Grandson,

The influence of wrongdoing is not confined to the doer. No man lives for himself. None perish alone in their errors. Every life is a light that brightens and cheers the pathway of others, or a dark and desolating influence that tends toward dispair and ruin.

We lead others either upward to happiness and immortal life, or downward to sorrow and eternal death. And if by our deeds we strengthen or force into activity the evil powers of those around us, we share this transgression.

My Grandson,

The worth of money is not found in its physical appearance. Your worth is not found in how you appear to others. The same coin or note, passes through the hands of the rich, the beggars,the lepers, the bankers, the market women... In the end how it appears is a function of its 'travels and hussles'... But if it is US$20.00, it value will still be the same. After all your struggles and your endeavours, don't let anyone look at you and judge you by how you look, let your inherent value speak and let the ears that hear, prevent the attached tongue from making sickening utterances.

My Grandson,

A good man or a virtuous woman is always preferred when looking for a life partner. They are, however, the most difficult people to live with because their standards are extremely high, they give a lot and require a lot whether they tell you or not. Have you found one? Don't go dancing and telling your friends; pray for wisdom and grace to keep them. In your waking moments ask yourself, 'what can I do to keep them; what can I do to be preferred by them.
