A lot of us attended BAAD 2017 online via our mobile devices. From the surprise engagement to the lovely dovey in between and finally to the wedding that held us spellbound for 2 weekends.

We took a poll and here are some reactions most people had to BAAD 2017;

• Aww, this is so sweet; Susu is such a lovely bride and buba seems as romantic as they come.
• Wow, fashion on point
• Okay, are we still on this: At a point, some of our readers admitted to getting a bit overwhelmed with it all.
• It's okay oooh; e don do, you're a sweet couple we know.
• I thought they wanted their relationship private; what's all the noise now.
• When will le boo pop the question; some of our female readers polled said they felt this way. We hope for their sakes that the BAAD 2017 inspires some brothers to pop the question.

We wish Banky and Adesua the best as they start their new life together.

1. Create a connection first; Get people to know you and like you. While you don't have to sleep with them, create an emotional connection.
2. Be goal oriented but interested in others; While Delilah's goal was to get Samson's secret, she got close to him first and made him believe she liked him for who he was.
3. Be pleasantly persistent; You must keep asking in a way that is appealing. This is tricky as there is a very thin line above which persistence becomes a source of irritation.
4. Handle rejections gracefully; Samson lied to Delilah a couple of times but she handled each rejection gracefully.

While many do not approve of what Delilah did, the lessons learnt from her story can work for us.

Strengths are the areas in which we do well and most times, they have served us perfectly.

However, there are certain times our strengths become weaknesses.

Maybe growing up we are applauded for being smart, outspoken, bold and daring and they have served us well but as we begin to experience life, a different 'us' is demanded. This can be a trying time but it is definitely a most defining time. How we respond to this period will determine if we move forward or stay stuck. We can choose to grow, evolve and become better or we can stay defending habits that no longer serve us positively.

We all know that one person considered most likely to succeed who made a huge mess of things in their lives.

In order to ensure that our strengths do not become weakness, we need to do the following;

• Do a SWOT analysis of ourselves and celebrate ourselves; yes, it is important to know yourself and be grateful for every strength and seeming weakness that you have.
• Develop situational awareness; a close friend likes to call it 'Village sense' which is the ability to look at situations realistically and make accurate judgement calls.
• Adjust yourself to suit the situation; sit down, be humble! yes, the reasonable person adapts to suit the situation while the unreasonable person forces the world to adapt to him. Listen to life when it tries to teach you so you don't keep repeating the same mistakes.

 Remember,
