Spouses of the World, Use Your 12 Needles of Success

A certain ethnic community in East Africa has a very ingenious method of encouraging financial success in the family. This strategy has guaranteed wealth generation for generations and I am privileged to finally let the cat out of the bag. Spouses will no longer lose sleep because of financial distress. Tomorrow morning, hundreds of spouses will be cheering all the way to the supermarket and very soon they will be smiling all the way to the bank.

In this particular African community, the most precious gems of financial advice are delivered on the day a man and his girlfriend are joined together in marriage. Among the many gifts that the couple receives, there is one that is unmistakably special. It is a pure leather gold-plaited pouch. It is handed specifically to the bride - amid loud ululations from the ladies and noticeable dead silence from the gentlemen present.

Inside the beautifully decorated pouch lie a dozen secrets of success, namely 12 brand new six-inch razor sharp needles. The needles come with very simple instructions that are given only to the bride. The bridegroom is requested not to listen. The oldest aunt of the bride is usually given the honor of delivering the instructions.

"Listen very carefully, Sweet Beauty. I am sure you are very much in love with your husband. Today is obviously the happiest day of your life," old Auntie would begin, amid great pomp. 

"However, love does not pay the bills and love alone will not ensure a life of luxury, comfort and prestige. Today I hand you the key to wealth and success. If you use this key regularly, you and your children will be happy for this day. All the secrets of financial success are contained in this fine-looking pouch," she would continue, amidst giggles from the women. 

"If you ever lose sleep in the middle night because of financial worries and you wake up to find your husband happily snoring in his sleep, take one needle from the pouch and stick it on his behind. By the time you are through with the 12 needles, you and your children will be living a life of luxury, comfort and prestige," old Auntie would conclude amidst loud cheers and peals of laughter from the wedding guests. 

Lesson

Are you struggling financially? Is your husband happily snoring in his sleep while other men burn the mid-night oil working for their families? Then rush to the supermarket and buy a special well decorated pouch and place it on your bedside drawer. This may be the missing link to the life you have always dreamed of - a life of luxury, comfort and prestige.

Special note: Husbands and would-be-husbands, please ask your spouses to read this blog carefully. The special pouch with 12 needles may be your only reason to succeed financially and become wealthy. Do this for the sake of the dear family that you love so much.
