FIRST CLASS ALL-ROUNDER.



"The World is a global village", Marshall McLuhan. 

The skill to rule the village is that of a hunter or a fisherman. If you check, it'd surprise you how small the world is. 

Now, let's skip all this for now and listen to a story. These days I'm beginning to tell lots of stories, here's the story. 

Tomorrow is my last day of work as a customer service rep. Well, getting to work today my boss decided we were going to just discuss for the day(Given that I've been doing a great job). 

In listening to his stories and experience I recalled attending an event where one of the speakers was addressed as 'First Class All-rounder', the speaker was so good, and even after the event I tried looking for him but couldn't find him so I gave up. 

My boss was that speaker, I was so wowed. It's been 2 years and here I was working for him without knowing. It had that feeling of meeting your celebrity crush or so. 

If I had known earlier, God knows I would've been worshipping the floor he walks on, but this isn't the point. 

The world is indeed small, therefore to effectively navigate through, we must adopt the skill of hunters and fishermen, but why?

One skill peculiar to the hunter and fisherman is patience, it's how they aim, wait, and calculate before obtaining their reward, but that's not what we want to do. We want things sharp sharp and fast not minding the process. 

Vai my today's discovering about my boss, you'll see how small(or how much of a village) the world is, so there's need to cultivate the skill of an hunter or fisherman.

"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 ...
