I asked a medical doctor a weird question. It went like this: “Dr, you have been seeing all sorts of women daily—beautiful, voluptuous, and many more. How do you know which one to love or choose as a spouse?”
His reply is the most sensible thing I read today, he said:
“Because we have been seeing a lot of them, we have seen all sorts of them, we have realised that it is not the body or the face that matters… besides, everything is almost the same… It is the brain and the heart that varies. That’s what matters most for decent guys, anyway. ”
The same applies to university lecturers. They have seen them all, fresh students every year. My Dad once told me that of all the thousand female students he taught at that time, my Mom caught his attention because of her intelligence, manners, and decency.
So my sisters…..
Work on your personality more than your physicality.
Work on your manners.
Work on your attitude.
Work on your social skills.
Work on your emotional intelligence.
Work on your neatness.
A great body can be bought; Liposuction is everywhere.
‘Kayan ciko’ are everywhere.
Fair skin can be bought, and bleaching and skin lightening are everywhere.
Fine faces can be bought; plastic surgery is everywhere.
But good manners, patience, humility, intelligence, empathy, a clean heart, etc., can never be bought. They’re priceless.
That’s what will distinguish you from the others. That is what will keep a man glued to you. That’s what will help you stay married.
