5 Things Not To Do To Be a Great Man

In order to be an outstanding person, you have to measure your own self; your own expertise, fondness and goal in life. It is not recommended that you become a sissy while you're leading a meeting for the first time in your life. Or you cry out on the street claiming that you can outdo Arnold Schwarzenegger when it comes to body building. Do you want to add some muscles to show it off to your angry boss?

There you go again, Mr. Nurman,  Sure, I get bored writing about something serious, for this won't upgrade my income. Nobody will come to me asking me a favor to write about finance, or gadget or fashion and so on and so on, but anyway, seriously you just cannot do these 5 stupid things in order to be somebody, a person that many people adore. Forget about disjointed context. 

The don'ts

1. You wear a mask to school or office and the mask is one hundred percent similar to Spider-man's.

Even if you're sure you have some blessed super power and you want to confess that you are a strong man, this is a stupid thing to do to humiliate yourself.  

Look who's crazy now ...

2. Great people never beg for nothing, so don't beg, even if you have no money. Perhaps, you just can close your eyes in case you get laid off from your company and you're totally broke, you can start dreaming of having a bowl of noodle. Pretend that this noodle is food from heaven. Please chin up ...

3. Dance but without a great deal of people around. If you just wanna dance because you want to entertain yourself it is okay if you do it while sleeping. Do it seriously and better not have that fancy that you spontaneously become a Bollywood star and that everybody on the street turn to be dancers, to sing and dance with you. Absolutely, this is such a stupid thing to do and that won't make you a great man. 

4. No alcohol, no drug and so on. If you get drunk, you may become a great person for a while but your shadow will slap you in the face and will you feel sorry to see it cry all night long because of your addiction? Please don't wet the bed for this. 

5. Never feel sorry to revisit this blog in order to tickle your fancy. No matter what your status is, profession, ethnic and religion, you are welcomed here to be a great man. Sure, I'll treat all my guest as a king. So, anyway, what would you like to drink Your Majesty?

What?! You want to wear that Spider-man mask, instead? And beg for money, dance on the street, get drunk and decide never ever visit this blog?

Well, you're not a girl, not yet a woman, who's crazy now?

7 Extremely Strange and Weird Wedding Traditions

Guest Post By Lisa Cohen

Every human society in this world has one thing in common and that is marriage. It is a socially recognized ritual with the union of a man and a woman for the rest of their lives because this is what they have vowed about. It is the beginning of a new life when two people live together and share their happiness and sorrows all together. They experience celebration of new beings in their life and welcome some very beautiful memories. They tackle all the ups and downs and never let anyone break this bond.


Apart from all this a marriage begins with celebration and what we call it is a wedding. Ringing bells, bride and groom, maid of honor, flower bouquet and a list of some beautifully written vows are all part of this beautiful experience. But that’s not all; weddings around the world follow some traditions and cultures that are set for hundred years. Whether these traditions are crazy, gross, hilarious, terrifying, confusing or mixture of all you somehow have to follow them just to save the day and your marriage. But going through the following list, you will get a perfect idea how strange some weddings can be and how weird they can get.

1. THE BLACKENING OF THE BRIDE

This is the most disgusting tradition of Scottish weddings that the bride experiences during the ceremony. One can’t image what the level of disgust it can be. It is a pre-marriage ritual where the bride belonging from certain parts of Scotland is covered all in grossness and then tied up with a tree. The throwing of all black material continues and the pre-marital humiliation continues. If you can handle this kind of situation you can handle anything in life. Even they don’t let the bride try out some wedding hairstyles for long hair because she is too busy in destroying herself.

2. LISTEN TO THE SALTY SONG

This very awkward yet hilarious tradition comes from China where Tujia people plays with the emotions of the bride and every female in the family. They take the matter to the whole new idea where they force the bride to start crying for an hour daily 30 days before her marriage. After 10 days the mother joins in and both of them practice the annoying cry. Then later after 10 days grandmother also start to do the same. By the end of the very month all the females of the family practice crying with the bride. It is supposed to be an expression of celebration and joy as the entire women cry in different tones and it seems like a salty and wet song.

3. THE CHICK LIVER TEST

These Chinese traditions are way too awkward for wedding celebrations. People known as Daur from the Chinese Inner Mongolia have some special tradition to follow before a wedding. To finalize the wedding the bride and the groom has to go through some bizarre rules. They have to slit a chick while holding the knife altogether. They both have to gut the chick and check for the liver. If the liver is in good shape than the wedding is finalized else they continue doing this until they find a satisfactory liver.

4. MARRY THE TREE

This very old Indian wedding tradition is just a hurdle for the upcoming marriage. In India when a baby girl is born Manglik as per labeled by their astrologists which happens when Mars and Saturn are both under the influence of the 7th house. God better knows what they want from all this. It is basically a curse on the girl and if she marries like this her husband will die within few days. To remove the curse, the girl is first married to a tree which is then destroyed to break the curse. Later on the girl’s proper wedding ritual is done with a live man, poor tree having a bad time.

5. THE TALE OF A WHALE

This pre-wedding tradition is from the country Fiji which is indeed strange yet very tough to do. In Fiji if a man loves a woman and wants her hand in marriage then he has to go through a tough test. The man is not only expected to ask his father in law for his daughter’s hand in marriage but he also has to present a whales tooth as a token of love for his daughter. This isn’t an easy job because a whales tooth is either available in black market or you have to get it from its mouth deep in the sea. That is what you call a true love.

6. THE TRASHY WEDDING TIME

It is one of the weirdest and grossest traditions of all times. Being the very civilized nation of this world, France has many old and trashy traditions to follow. A French wedding is not complete until the friends and family of both bride and groom make them gulp all the trash and ugly stuff from the toilets bowl. They collect everything dirty and gross and force the bride and the groom to drink it out. But now this trash is all replace by chocolate and other stuff but you are still drinking out brown stuff which in reality real from the toilet bowl.

7. THE AIMING TRADITION

Chinese cultures are often very strange and weird and it is really hard to believe that in reality they use to perform such rituals and still doing that. In Chinese Yugur culture the broom has to actually shoot his new bride with a bow and an arrow three times before a wedding. In actual the arrows don’t have any arrowheads, but still the bride has to be hit with something which is similar to rubber bullets. Once this process is complete the groom collects all the arrows thrown and breaks them into pieces just to ensure that they will love each other till their last breath. To get your true love, no doubt you have to follow some strangest things around.
