When I was in school King Arthur was one of many English story books I read. Recently I read this mind twisting story and I thought you should read it to learn a good lesson on human nature.
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question was:
What do women really want?
Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man. And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but first he would have to agree to her price.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend. Young Arthur was horrified.
She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.
He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden.
But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.
Arthur's question thus:
"What a woman really wants?"
She said, "A woman wants to be in charge of her own life."
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth, and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was sitting by the bed.
The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth become her horrible and deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other half.
"Which would you prefer?" She asked him. "BEAUTIFUL during the DAY... OR at NIGHT?"
Lancelot pondered the predicament.
During the day, he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!
OR,
would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day? But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous moments with?
(If you are a man reading this) What would YOUR choice be?
(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?
And Lancelot's choice is given below...
BUT, please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below!
OKAY?
Knowing the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time, because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now, what is the moral to this
The moral is...
1. There is 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is.
2. If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.
So, be careful how you treat a woman and always remember:
IT IS EITHER "HER WAY"
OR IT IS (NO WAY).

You are either react to external and internal challenges.
Or
Response to external and internal challenges.
Those in controlled will neither react nor response.

Is the world real? Are we real? We are what we think or we think therefore we are? We controlled our mind or the mind controlled us? Can we stop for a moment without thinking? Are we real or just our imagination? (Illusion, delusion).
Are we seeing and feeling things as what is truly there? Or are we seeing and feeling things as our own mind projection. Hence we see things as “self” or “other”, “pleasant” or “unpleasant” and rigidly divide people into “good” or “bad”, “friends” or “enemies” and thus fall under the sway of hatred, prejudice or attachment, greed, jealousy or pride.
The mind is limitless and borderless as mind can travel through space and time and thus occasionally we feel the resentment, sorrow, sadness, joyous of the past and anxiety, worries, frightening, hopeful of the future. The mind sometime plays havoc with us and thus sometime we write/speech/act out of our mind madness or the mind inspired us to produce out of this world discovery/masterpiece.
So who incharge?

You can't learn women from books! Depends! There are high maintenance ones! If you are not rich, better stay away from this parasites! Then there are very low maintenance ones, the ones you should look for as life partner! And then there's the careered ones, those who are independent and does not need a man in her life!
I am forturnate to marry a simple one! She is not demanding and i don't have to constantly give those western type of attention! I mean, is it really necessary to constantly tell your other half how much you love her! I mean, most of us will ask what'sfor breakfast, what vege to buy or things to buy!
I mean, life is constant hell if you have to lower yourself just to get approval from you other half!
So you don't really have to know what women wants! Only focus on your other half! And choose your wifey wisely! Don't fall for that gimmick about having to please her the rest of your miserable life!
2021-07-09 14:11
Yeah, stay away from those dumbass women who brag that if you can't handle the worst of her, then you don't deserve the best of her! The thing is, this type most probably are faulty, nuisance and will drag you into her lousy selfish attitude!
2021-07-09 14:13
ideally everyone wants a successful marriage but that cannot be so. Its just not humans.
2021-07-09 14:13
I guess, just avoid those complicated women who are brainwash with western values!

===========================================
Yes, the mind is limitless and kindles your emotion hence the actions.
However, one is in charge when they are able to control the "chatterbox mind" as it swings from one mood to another.

Ohh...Women just want to talk more than the husbands. The husbands should be the expert in psychology. God created women with that ability/nature. For 2 weeks continuously, let her talk more while you talk less plus giving her your listening ear. IF she talk little throughout the day, you had better be worry. Don't criticize her and start to praise her like "you are great, your dressing is nice, i like your cooking, you cooked the tasty food/dinner, you are a great mother to the children...etc". YOU will see the good result, she will do and obey your commands/instructions. IF you do the opposite things, she will not do what you like and do what you dislike. Women are like children, you give chocolates to children and nice to them, the children will be very friendly to you. Women are of weaker gender, emotionally weaker than men so God had protected them from the beginning...with cleared advises like women should dress modestly, their dignity can not be intimidated/compromised. AND if your wife are working and busy with less time for cooking...just eat the bread or simpler meals at times.

HOW MKT WORKS SERIES
stock investing is like doing good happening biz.
only stocks with great biz model for the entire WORLD MKT currently will do well.
Read newspaper to catch the theme.play early, like glove.theme stocks in March 2020.
as cyclical investors, we use skills of talent scout to seek n find the top scorers of the mkt.
only with these chosen stocks by FF, we can CAGR 20 to 50% per cycle.
nice to know we have 2 to 4 cycles p.a.
3 classes of stocks
Pure FA stocks with increasing QR PAT
a. 1st class FA stocks ( 70% of total portfolio )
funds esply FF must play stocks every cycle. Select stocks chosen for MSCI indexes n stocks with mkt cap > rm1.5 billion
go with pure FA stocks that FF will go for, i.e. stocks PAT > $60 million min p.a n fast growing..
FF will make it the happening purebull... with lasting high stock prices for everyone to sell well.
b. 2nd class FA stocks ( 15% of total portfolio )
these r smaller co played n price controlled by 2 to 4 local funds.
xtra care needed. when stock prices peaked, the selldown is madness bcos these funds r expert in selling.
c. play with PnD SYNDICATED stocks ( 15% or less of total portfolio )
usually those failed stocks with huge losses will fly high n super fast bcos the owners n syndicates can only robe big money from retail players.
sympathy stocks to major stocks in theme.play, with no trend of increasing QR PAT r dicey too.
play for a fast game n avoid them if u miss. the ending of PnD stocks r very swift n ugly.
Position well n fully at the new beginning of each new cycle.
if right, hold for the entire cycle n then harvest at right.timing.
never overstay!
Attempt to catch n harvest 1 cycle perfectly, then u know how to repeat n duplicate the same CAGR methodology to next cycle..
