Man explains how he miraculously survived poison from black magic   I was having a cool conversation with an acquaintance that I met some time ago. We were talking business, politics and life generally. While talking, I noticed this very big scar on his leg. It looked so big that I felt that the wound had not properly healed as it still has some reddish spots on it. I tried to look away and not stare embarrassingly at him, but occasionally, my eyes drifted back to the scar. I believe that he caught me staring at his legs, and he said. "I hope say the scar on my leg does not look so irritating to you" At that moment, I knew that I had goofed. I had probably starred so long in an uncomfortable manner for him to have said so, so I apologized to him, but he dismissed it with a wave of the hand. "There is no need to apologize, this scar you're seeing is my testimony, it is a sign that I survived what would have taken my life." I looked on as he touched the spot, ...

13 MONEY MIS TAKES YOU MUST AVOID! 1. Never borrow money that accrues interest to start a business. That is to say, never borrow money to start a business expecting that the business will generate income to pay back the borrowed money plus the interest. 2. Never spend money you haven't received. Don't even promise someone money based on a promise you have from someone else. If someone tells you: "Ezra, come to my office tomorrow at 9 am and pick #30K"don't go out to buy items on credit based on this promise, with the hope that you will pay off your creditor when the promised money comes; it may not come as promised and this will leave you in problems with your creditors. 3. If you want to save, whenever you receive money, don’t start spending hoping that you’ll save what remains. Normally what remains is zero because as long as money to spend is available, the numerous things you can spend it on are also available. And things to spend on even incite their 'r...
