{The success of a great day starts with the previous night; the foundations of every successful day is usually built at night in one way or the other.}

Successful people tend to build their success every night, and they do this in many ways.

{{1. REST}}

You might expect to have read ‘work’, but successful people take out time to rest and refresh their system after a day’s work. They have a ritual that helps them ease their minds and leave their body feeling refreshed every night, and when they wake up, they feel energetic to carry out the day’s activity without fuss.

{{2. ORGANISE}}

While other people doze off and wake up the following morning running helter-skelter and trying to organise their day, successful people do that at night, and they wake up the next morning feeling calm and starting the day in good fashion.

{{3. ANALYSE}}

Successful people don’t just let the day end without analysing how their day went. They analyse how they spent their day, what they did right, what they did wrong and how they could have done better.

{{4. DO NOTHING}}

Yes you read that right. Sometimes you just have to do nothing; turn off the screens, turn off the lights, and just let your mind be at peace. Meditating or saying a prayer in such a moment will feel bliss.

{{5. SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY}}

Spending quality time with people you care about is just the perfect way to end your day. You bring out the best in yourself when you create a deep connection with the people you care about. Sometimes, feeling loved could be the best motivation to push yourself further.

{{6. GROW}}

Successful people don’t just reach a level and become satisfied with life; they seek continual growth, and they set aside time in the evening to read and develop themselves.

Successful people develop good habits geared at making them better in their given career/line of work.

{In the olden days, it was normal to see men spot thick stubble, and it was highly fashionable at the time. But the fashion of thick stubble tends to have gone with time, but have now become a trend in recent years.}

Men tend to spot thick stubble and a trend known as “beard gang” has seen full beards become all too common.

But how do women really feel about this trend, and how do they react to the beard gang?

According to a study published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, women view men with stubble as more attractive for short-term flings than men with full beards, which were seen as more attractive for long-term relationships.

The study’s authors suggested beards may act as a signal of men’s age and masculine social dominance.

Another study published in the Journal of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society also indicated that specific types of facial hair have a major impact on how women perceive individuals with a beard.

Men who are clean-shaven or who have a light amount of stubble were rated as being the least attractive by women and men.

Also, the perception of a man’s masculinity increases with the amount of facial hair that he has. The study also found that men and women indicated that men who have a full beard appear to be healthier than those without any type of facial hair.

Beards tends to give a man a different look from when he’s clean-shaven, and although it differs from women to women, but men seem more masculine when they spot beards, and the more a woman perceives a man to be masculine, the more she’s attracted to him.

{If you want to get more out of life, there are certain things you need to accomplish before you turn 30.}

{{1. Have savings }}

The older you get, the more responsibilities you’re going to have and before you turn 30, you need to have savings. Before you are 30, you need to understand the importance of saving for the raining day.

We all have something we are good at and before you turn 30, its expected you should have discovered what you are talented at. You shouldn’t just stop at finding your hidden talents, ensure you harness that talent.

{{4. Learn to say ‘no’ }}

You wear yourself out and barely have time for yourself when you always say “yes” to people. Before age 30, you need to learn how to say “no”.

{{5. Chase your dreams }}

You shouldn’t just have a dream before age 30, you should have started chasing your dreams before you turn 30. You should start putting the wheels in motion to achieve your dreams before you turn 30.

{{6. Learn the habit of investing in yourslef }}

You need to learn the habit of investing in yourself before you turn 30. You should never stop learning something new or enhancing a skill you already have.

{{7. Learn how to handle criticism }}

Negative feedbacks can be tough to handle but it’s expected that you learn how to handle criticism before you turn 30.

{{8. Learn how to look presentable }}

You should know how to look presentable before you turn 30. You should know how to dress for every occasion. First impression matters alot.

{{9. Have a side business }}

Before age 30, you should have started your own side business. Having a side business gives you another source of income and your side business may even become your full-time job when it takes off.

{{10. Know how to cook }}

This is especially important for the men who rarely have an interest in learning to cook. Before you turn 30, you should know how to cook for yourself as it ensures you eat healthy. Being a good cook is also romantic.

{{11. Conquer your fears }}

Fears does nothing but holds us back from reaching our potential in life. Before you turn 30, you should conquer any fear you have and stop that fear from dictating your life.

{{12. Learn how to give }}

Giving is an important habit you should learn before you turn 30. Meeting a need in someone’s life gives a certain joy and happiness that money can’t buy. Learn to be a giver.

{Every relationship needs a bit of sacrifice and dedication for it to be successful. Ironically, there are certain decisions and sacrifices that might be too costly for a lady to do for a man.}

{{1. Never be desperate }}

Never be desperate for a man who isn’t desperate for you. Desperation puts you in bad light, and makes you lose your value; he’ll tend to value you less when you are too desperate for him.

{{2. Never give up your dreams}}

Giving up on your dreams just to be with/please a man could be the riskiest decision you could make as a woman. What’s your guarantee for the future? What do you fall back to if that doesn’t work. Besides, you still have to chase those dreams and fulfil all your goals even though you have the man of your dreams.

{{3. Never change your morals }}

Your morals are part of who you really are, and it isn’t something you should change for a man. Your good morals shouldn’t be lowered just to accommodate a man; you’ll end up doing more than that in the long run.

{{4. Your body type }}

A lot of women spend a lot of money and even perform surgeries just to change their body type or the colour of their skin, in order to impress a man.

Different men love different body type, so changing your body type just to impress a man is only shallow.

{{5. Never pretend to be someone else }}

Being someone else is a waste of who you are. If you cannot be yourself for a man, then he isn’t the right one for you.

{{6. Never compromise your standards }}

Your standards are a core part of you; in many ways they define who you really are. It’s important to settle for a man who respects and understands your standard, than settle for a man you’d have to lower your standards for.

Doing any of these six things for a man might be too costly a mistake to make, and you’ll lose a huge part of you when you do these, and you’ll end up regretting them.

{Fear is holding a lot of people from reaching their full potential in life and until you overcome certain fears, you might never reach the heights you dream of.}

By age 30, there are certain fears you should have overcome. Check them out below

{{2. Fear of being rejected }}

I understand being rejected hurts but that shouldn’t stop you from putting yourself out there. If you think you want something, go for it and don’t be scared of being rejected. By age 30, you are expected to have overcome the fear of being rejected.

{{3. Fear of getting hurt }}

The fear of getting hurt has made some scared of getting into a relationship but you need to understand that until you overcome that fear, you might never meet the right person for you. Don’t let the fear of getting hurt steal your chance of falling in love.

{{4. Fear of speaking in public }}

I used to have this fear in my 20s but I made sure I overcame it before my 30s. Speaking in public is something you can’t run away from in your 30s so it’s important you overcome this fear before you turn 30.

{{5. Fear of commitment }}

Many people who are into multiple relationships do so because they are scared of commitment. The truth is that you would never enjoy what being in love is until you overcome the fear of commitment.

{Apologising for a wrong done is a healthy step to reconciliation, but then not every apology is indeed an apology.
}

When the apology isn’t from your heart, then it’s the same thing as not apologising at all.

These forms of apologising are wrong, and don’t show remorse.

{{1. Blaming someone else }}

When you blame someone else while apologising, then it’s no longer a heartfelt apology. Apologising while blaming someone else shows that you don’t really feel remorse for the wrong done.

{{2. Assuming the issue is minor }}

If you hurt someone or did something wrong to someone, then you should just apologise and move on with it. Once you start suggesting that the issue is minor and doesn’t warrant the person to be upset, then it’s no longer an apology.

{{3. Expecting forgiveness immediately }}

People do wrong and hurt others, and just expect to be forgiven, simply because they apologised. Apologies don’t work that way. If you hurt someone’s emotions, you shouldn’t expect to be forgiven immediately after apologising; you have to understand that the person has the right to feel hurt and that the pains have to heal too.

{{4. No buts }}

Any apology with a “but” isn’t a true apology; it shows that the apology isn’t sincere enough.

{{5. Your body language }}

Your body language is just as important as your apology, or probably even more important. When you apologise, but your body language doesn’t suggest that you feel remorse, then it’s not a sincere apology.

{{6. Your actions }}

Your actions should also portray how sorry you are. When you apologise for a wrong, it should be backed with actions; you should be ready to do things that truly suggest you are sorry.

{{7. “Can’t we move past this?”}}

Saying sorry while asking this question only shows how insincere your apology is. It shows a blatant disregard for the way that person is feeling.

Apologies should be true and sincere; any form of apology that comes in this way isn’t real.

{{Cheat }}

Nothing hurts more than finding you were just a side piece to your partner. As a woman, you need to understand that a lot of guys won’t be honest about their relationship status.

So if you notice any of the following signs in him, it’s likely your man isn’t honest about his relationship status

{{1. You only see him in hotels }}

If he only takes you to hotels and avoids inviting you to his house, he is definitely not being honest about his relationship status. He most likely has another woman who he takes home.

{{2. He won’t add you on facebook }}

If your boyfriend avoids adding you on Facebook or deletes comments from you that might suggest he is dating you, your man isn’t honest about his relationship status.

{{3. He avoids introducing you to his friends }}

Men are naturally eager to show their girlfriend to their friends so if your man avoids introducing you to his friends even after being with him for a while, he isn’t honest about his relationship status.

{{4. You have caught him lying several times }}

If you have caught your man lying several times, there’s a higher chance that he isn’t honest about his relationship status.

{{5. He introduces you as ‘his friend’ and not ‘his girlfriend’ }}

How your man introduces you to important people in his life can reveal if he is honest about his relationship status. If he introduces you as “his friend” and not “his girlfriend”, chances are that he isn’t honest about his relationship status.

{{6. Your dates with him are always last minute }}

If your man doesn’t plan dates with you but instead tends to call you up at the last minute for dates, it’s obvious he has another woman in his life and he isn’t honest about his relationship status.

{{7. He switches off his phone when he spends the night with you }}

If your man always tends to switch off his phone when he spends the night with you, chances are that he isn’t honest about his relationship status. Most men who switch off their phones when spending the night with their girlfriend do so to avoid calls from the other girlfriend.

{A lot of the time, people tend to date two or more people at the same time, and even claim to love them both. But is this really possible?}

That’s our topic on Sunday Love Special, and Drama and Shawn will tell share their opinions on this topic.

{{Drama}}

I’ve heard and seen this question quite a number of times, and it’s a really important one to shed light on. A lot of times I’ve heard people say it’s not possible to be in love with two people at once, but I really believe it’s very possible to love two people at once. No two people have the same qualities or share a personality, so that’s what makes it very possible for one to be in love with more than one person. You can meet person A and love them because they are special in a certain way, and meet person B, and love them for something else.

I’ve seen a lot of people who have faced similar situations, and every time it happened, it was clear they really cared about both people in their lives. Some say, you can love just one person, and be infatuated with another, but that’s just semantics. Love or infatuation, the bottom line is you actually really do care about the two people in your life. I have never found myself in a situation like that though, so I can’t say much about this topic, however I think it’s very possible to love and be attracted to two different people for two distinct qualities or even more. But in situations like that I also think that there’s always the one with a bigger part of the love. You love person A and B, but you really can’t love them equally; I doubt that’s possible. You most likely will love one of the two more than the other one for something they have or do that the other person doesn’t.

{{Shawn}}

Being in love with someone takes a lot of your emotions, and it’s like sharing your life with that person, that’s if you’re in the relationship with that person. Going by this, it’s plain impossible to love two people at the same time. You cannot treat them both equally and you cannot have the same affection for the two of them.

If it’s not true, then it isn’t love, and for love to be true, there has to be trust, faithfulness, honesty, commitment, selflessness and dedication. Can you then say this will be possible if you claim to love two people at the same time?

For you to claim to love two people at the same time shows that your definition of love is really flawed. Love is more than just an emotion, and in a heart where it exists, it is clearly dominant.

You can probably be attracted to two people at the same time, but to love two people at the same time only disqualifies what truly being in love means.

Do you believe you can love two people at the same time?
