SOMEONE ELSE VALUES WHAT YOU HAVE

-

Have you ever dressed up and you feel like you have 'nailed' it but then you see someone else dress so good, you look at your self and feel "Wow he (or she) looks much better: I don't look as good as I thought".
Funny right? Well, something like this happens often. The interesting part is that that person you are admiring may also be admiring you; wishing they dressed like you, wishing they had the kind of body you have, wishing they were confident like you, wishing they were you.

 That scenario I painted above is similar to what happens in life daily. You look at your life and you are dissatisfied with it. You begin to admire another person's achievements; their car, their house, their spouse... unknown to you that the same person you want to be like also wants to be like you. The person may want your voice, your smile, your fluency, your charisma: they may want those minor things you place little or no importance on in your life.
THE MORAL
Value what you have, because even though you don't have everything; you have something(s) that other people wish they had.
No matter how bad you think your situation is, I can assure you, some people still wish they have some of the privileges you enjoy. So snap out of it!
You may not be where you want to be, be thankful 'cause at least, you are not where you used to be.
Kindly, share your thought in the comment section. Thanks.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE FIND IT SO DIFFICULT TO SAY THE WORDS: "I'M SORRY"?

Like, seriously, it baffles me. In fact, it amazes me. Maybe because I do not see admitting my fault as a big deal. I like to admit when I am wrong and apologize when need be. That is why it amazes me when people will rather lose years of meaningful relationship and friendship than say the simple words 'I am sorry'.  It is worthy of note though, that admitting your wrong and saying you are sorry to the offended party doesn't stop there. It goes beyond just saying it, you have to actually mean it when you say it. Some people say they are sorry just because they want that episode to pass. Then, they go and commit the same blunder again or even worse the next time. That is not good at all. I use the phrase 'not good' for lack of a stronger one.  See, saying sorry for your wrong doing (when you are sincere) does not reduce your person, worth or importance in any way. As far as I'm concerned, I think it increases your worth. It shows you have admitted your wrong and ...

WHO ARE YOU RAISING?

Some time ago, I saw the video of a little girl of about 16 months old who took hold of a wallet full of money. She brought out 2 notes from it, tuck them in front of her dress (breast area) and closed the wallet back. She then stylishly put it back where she took it from.  I was shocked!  It is easy to deduce from that video that the child must have seen an adult do such at one time or the other. So, she is copying that adult (most likely a female who can steal and hide money in her bra). Who can she be mimicking? Giving the most probable assumption... Maybe her mother, how she secretly takes the father's money and tuck into her bra. She sees it done in her presence, and she does likewise.  Even if it isn't the mum she copied. The fact is that she saw something bad and she did likewise. That goes to tell you that every adult should be careful of the things they do in the presence these  little ones.  The question is: what kind of things do you do in the presenc...
