EITHER WAY IS A WIN.



Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise though it doesn't always seem like that, yet it is. 

Yesterday I was supposed to meet a very good friend of mine. Well, something happened and the friend couldn't meet up, I was very upset about this because I had earlier cleared my very busy schedule to accommodate the meet.  

Having a lot free time at hand I decided to give my full attention to a particular assignment given to me by my writing coach. I have been given this assignment since like two week back but whenever I tried to do it, it just doesn't click so I would postpone it. 

Before long I was done with the assignment and submitted. To my greatest surprise my coach was impressed and I won two prizes. I was super duper excited, still having extra time at hand I did yet another outstanding assignment and my coach was also impressed.

He went on to praise me, this was too good to be true giving the fact that he is hardly the kind of person who is easily impressed. If you like outdo yourself the guy is not moved so you would understand why I was in cloud 9. 

Later that day some of my sister's friends came to visit her, somewhere in their conversation she mentioned an app I had and they wanted it too, since I didn't get the app for free I asked that they pay a sum(twice the price I got it), I was expecting that they would negotiate but to my surprise they didn't so I sold it like that. 

Now, if I had met with my friend, I would've had a really good time but I wouldn't have done the two assignments from my coach that won me two prizes and I also wouldn't have sold the app for twice the price I got it. 

The point here is, everything happens for a reason. The reason might not be seen right away but with time it will unravel. With the two wins I had yesterday I had long forgotten how angry I was about the cancelled meeting. 

Life doesn't go as you've planned. It doesn't go YOUR way, it goes THE way. However it turns out make it to your advantage.

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
