THE MOSQUITO TALE Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  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.

THE MOSQUITO TALE

A mosquito named Garle went in search of blood, he entered a room and a minute later people there started jamming their hands in a bid to kill it.
Garle mistook the act for praises, he left with joy and returned the next day just because he wants to be praised.

Garle forgot his main aim of going out, he forgot about food rather he digested the praises he received.

Garle went out as usual, feeling comfortable with his new environment and the praises he received, rather than flying he stayed on the bed and watched waiting for when the applause would be rendered to him but poor Garle didn't see it coming.
The same hand that clapped for him killed him that day.

Interesting story right
Where you able to pick some lessons from the story.
I did

Read below

1) Have a goal, set your eyes always on the goal, remind yourself always of the goal.
2) Distractions would always set in, but don't give way to the distractions.
3) Not all who praise you mean well, some actually pray for your downfall
4) Be careful when praise sets in least you fall
5) Don't feel relaxed due to the praises you receive, but rather break more limitations.
6) When  particular environment, task etc seen too comfortable , it is time to leave and move forward.
Comfort is a silent killer
7) Don't act because of the praises, act because it is necessary.
8) Be vigilant, the hand that claps for you might pull you down.

Feel free to drop your own comments on lessons from my mosquito story.

Your comments and feedbacks would be appreciated.

MY TALENT, MY PRIDE( DISCOVER YOURSELF)

Bola,Tayo, Ayo amd Bimpe where very close friends. they are the type of kids every parents would always pray to have. Bola was a very talented singer, she sings like an angel and everyone adores her. Tayo too was a good dancer, he is so flexible that one would wonder if his body where made of foam. Ayo wasn't left out, he was so good with spellings, he could spell words those older than him would find difficult spelling. Bimpe felt like the odd one out,"why am i the one without a talent"she would always say to herself. whenever she went out with her friends for talents audition she would always feel left out because she has nothing to present. she would always cry her eyes out sometimes wishing she was her friends. she envied her friends talents and most times prayed to God to make her a singer, dancer or a good speller. when she saw her prayers have been ignored by God she started attending dance and music classes, she would always go to her friend Ayo to teach ...
