The phrase:

 

When I was younger probably in my late twenties, I can’t really pinpoint the exact age. I picked up a tattered piece of magazine page.

What struck me on that page, very well designed though very old. Maybe I wasn’t looking forward to be married at the time, however, I had interacted with a few married individuals.

The phrase can be useful both at home and in the corporate world. It may be of an added advantage to the affluent and the less fortunate. It can serve both men and women in equal measure. 

The phrase written on the old and torn piece of paper was “Never advise a man to get married or go to war”

The repercussions of the advice may haunt you for the rest of one’s life. I advised a friend against getting involved in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend then.

I became very persistent in pitching for another girl. Only for me to discover that he got hitched to the one I was against or probably didn't prefer.

Once in a while when I visit with them, there is always an egg on my plate and she probably does it intentionally, well, this is according to me. Remember the saying "egg on the face." I believe her intent is to remind me of the egg on my face and that she is the one laughing out loud now.

I am yet to advise anyone to fight or go to war. But when that time comes, I won’t. Not that I don't care but wiser from the phrase from the tattered piece of magazine page. 

“Never advise a man to get married or go to war.”
