'The Way You Dress is the Way You will be Addressed'

Basically, this truism refers to people meeting for the first time. Human minds try at first acquaintance to situate friends to a particular stratum in their perceived society through apparel, speech, gaiety, smell and other noticeable features before further familiarity will unravel those assumptions wrong or right.

But really, does a 'gallas' hair-cut make the person a 'yahoo-boy'? Does wearing 'jalamia' with beard make some one holy? Infidelity is not in mini-skirts and fidelity may not necessarily reside in macro either, but the errant and frequent visitation to the temple they guide. Thus, when those assumptions are wrong, we say "appearance can be misleading" whereas (in fact) it's our prejudiced mind that is myopic in judging.

At a time we are accidentally right, another truism comes to mind: your speech not only appearance is your acute advert or portent disservice. Anyway, for a person that understands that life is a service, you will position yourself for how you want to be perceived and addressed. Not everyone will have a chance, after that first acquaintance, to interact further. You may have only one appearance to convince or confuse that person for life. Therefore armed with the psychology of perception, attraction and people's rigid myopic-ness, I do rather dress the way I want to be addressed.

The shortfall: the encumbrance: the lacuna is that our minds judge based on our 5ive senses. Look good, smell nice, feel good, taste nice, sound appealing, you will be a good sale. Same goes for any kind of market.

'Ise kekere, owo n la' Less Work: More pay

Actually, that idiomatic expression as often employed in our prayers " Ise kekere, owo nla" can be understood from different perspectives. This is not to decry our elders. They have given varieties of proverbs to suit needs and moments beyond what a motivational book can condensedly give. 'Ai'ni arojinle ni mu iyawo pe oko re ni were nitori pe omo re omo were ni, oun gan fun rare iyawo were ( It's only a lack deep reflection that will make a wife call her husband a mad man because as such her child is the child of a mad man and she is a wife of a mad man). The focal point is the effect this idiomatic prayer has wrought on our social mentality like the musical cliche that has also turned into another idiomatic expression: " Mi o lè wa ku, mo ti gbiyan ju, Moti se iwon ti mo lè se, alubarika alubarika nikoko" ( I can't over-exert myself. I have given it my best shot. God's blessing is significant). That rendition always lowers determinat...

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday

Weekend of the Champs and Cramps

Champs do the winning and the cramps give us whining. Champs get the points and the cramps the pains. Liverpool started the weekend like a proper champ that they are. Sallah like the coming festival stood out in the game with two solid goals. The champ of the encounter, Bournemouth burned Chelsea with a lone goal. Is Lampard's ride changing fortune? No winning is permanent, obviously. Manchester United was saved by Greenwood. While one youngster was instrumental to his team's performance, another one ( Moise Kean) that entered as a sub was later subbed off because he looked knackered. Champs and Cramps. Be and the Wannabes! Talking of the Champs and Cramps, Gunners were gunned down. Decimated beyond reparation in the first half. De Bruyne ricocheting shot couldn't be stopped resulting into the first goal and Sterling stellar placement was also conceded, second goal. The third was still De Bruyne ruining the Gunners with a curvy shot that beat the defenders wi...
