The “Law of the Rubber Band” is not a scientific law you learn in physics, but a simple idea that was made very popular by a speaker Jim Rohn that teaches an important lesson about growth in life.

In recent years, so many people have started to feel that the world is becoming colder, harsher, and less compassionate. The act of kindness now feels rare, while cruelty and selfishness are increasing. Lately, when you converse with some people, you’ll feel they have gradually begun to loss their humanity.

When people start to lose these qualities, the society begins to feel less safe and caring.

Firstly, what does the word “Declutter” mean in Nigerian context? Decluttering can be referred to as the practice of selling, reselling, or connecting buyers and sellers to either second-hand or underutilized household items.

The word situationship has become so common because a lot of people has chosen that path. A situationship is a romantic connection without a clear definition or commitment.

Products we didn’t know we wanted suddenly appear important.
