2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that cove
was seated in the BRT bus on Monday and i decided to peep through the windows, and to my greatest surprise i was given a complete view of life.
Most times inspirations comes from things or people we least
expect, the view of the under bride road gave me a complete different view
about life.
Now before I list the views I got I would want to point out
the following scenario that takes place on the express road.
We are familiar with the way cars race past and are only
stopped by traffic which rarely occurs
We also are familiar with the way those guys selling stuffs
on the road try to catch up with some vehicles so as to sell their wares.
Am sure you’ve also witness where a gala seller sells gala
to someone in a car and before he can collects his money the vehicle races off.
I also realized we only buy from those who are fast enough
to get to vehicle even while it is moving
Have you also noticed those super swift guys who run faster
than Usain Bolt just to sell and collect their money?
Do you also notice that not all of them run, most of them
just wait patiently for when there would be traffic so that they can just
stroll past your vehicle rather than running.
MY VIEW OF LIFE
1.
I likened life to cars on the express road that
race along. Life waits for no one, life moves so fast. Everyday there are new
development and life just takes different shape.
2.
I likened us to the guys selling stuffs on the
road. Here is life every individual is meant to sell/deliver something.
3.
Life only favors those who are swift enough to
run to it and exchange their services for value. Just like how you buy from
those who can catch up with your bus so does life also favors those who work
diligently, tirelessly towards achieving their goals(s).
4.
Just like how some of those guys ran to give you
the gala but couldn’t collect the money, so also is life not fair to certain
people. Most people work tirelessly towards achieving their goal but just when
they ought to get their reward something happens and they are been denied of
it.
5.
Do you notice those guys who sit around waiting
for when there would be traffic so that they can sell? Yeah… that’s how
majority of us are, we sit waiting for the perfect opportunity which sometimes
never comes.
6.
Do you also know most of them get hit by these
vehicles? Yes, in life some people would definitely get hit by it. Some would
survive and some won’t. That is life.
7.
Those guys sells different things, gala, water,
soft drinks, rugs etc. am sure if you wanted gala and a guy selling rug passed
by you wouldn’t buy it. That also is how life works; we just have to keep
walking till we get someone who wants what we have to offer.
8.
Have you imagined a guy selling gala to you and
you gave him #200 then he tells you he doesn’t have change? What happens? Am sure
you would drop the gala and beckon on someone else. That’s how life works, you
need to be ever ready if not someone else would be called upon to offer that
same service you offer.
9.
Whatever you have to offer you must make it
attractive and different from others. When buying gala/drinks from them I usually
buy from those whose presentation of their wares are attractive so whatever you
have to offer must have a good presentation.
10.
Sometimes I try to ask those guys who sell rugs,
carpets, shoes, hats on the road if they usually make sales because I have
never seen someone buy from them.
But I notice they are always there still
displaying their wares waiting for when someone would be in need of what they
sell.
That’s how life is, sometimes you might have
something to offer but it might seem like no one is in need of it, just keep
been keen on rendering that service. Though it may take a while but I assure
you someone someday would come asking for it.
