I used to ask myself this question, why is it that some unmerited people work less and become more successful than many merited people who work hard all their lives…?
Until I witnessed it first hand, how someone very close to me… After many years she toiled and sacrificed for a better life, came in contact with an old bosom friend. Whom with just a single act of care turned her life around and gave her life a new meaning and that of her family.
“The friends your interact with shape your world. Especially here in naija. Who you know determines who you will become to a very large extent.”
Who is a friend?: A friend is a person one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection.
Friendship is a very important factor in the life of a person. It determines the growth, the impact, the happiness and well being of a person.
We need meaningful connection with other people in order to realize our dreams and aspirations in life. No person can do it alone.
Its really funny how many people especially ladies turn down friendly gestures by others, for reasons best known to them. If the lady I mentioned earlier had turned down the friendly gesture many years back, her life and that of her family would have been for the worse.
Never turn down a friendly smile, sometimes the help you seek lies in the hands of a stranger. If you are lacking, in your present state, it means your have not known enough friends. Be wise, learn how to sieve the shafts from the grains.
