When moving forward, do you consider those left behind?

When asked 'who wants to be successful in life' in any gathering of people despite their ages, everyone raises their hands. (or I hope everyone does).
Everyone wants to be successful.
Drake sef sing am: 'I just wanna be successful'.
Just like the popular saying: 'the top is very lonely' because only few people can get there. For example in a bank; there are so many front desk officers and only one chairman (or woman *wink*)

I have undergone series of interviews for different positions, most times its exhilarating when you get a call back, but imagine those who didn't get. I'm not saying its your fault that they weren't called back, its part of life sef: win some, loose some. But just take a few seconds to think of how those who didn't get called back feel, put yourselves in their shoes.

What brought about this thought you might ask?. A couple of persons and I are waiting to be assigned at work, some people in our batch have been assigned, while some couldn't continue the journey. I was reading the group chat recently and every other person who had been assigned had some sort of fun or horrible experience to talk about work. Slowly and surely those who haven't gotten any deployment would begin to feel left out of the conversation.
Its like when you are friends with someone, maybe they are in your class or organization or church and then for some reason you move on. For instance, you move to the next class and the friend has to repeat. Initially you both try to work out your friendship, like I said earlier; slowly and surely, you begin to make new friends, and then start having awkward conversations before you both drift apart.

Yeah I am guilty of this behavior, although there are some friends that become dead weights which you eventually have to drop, but there are some whom are of value and importance.
I have this friend, she usually says 'I don't discard people oh, you can never know who you might need in the future'.  I see sense in her philosophy and I try very hard to see the value in everyone I come across.

Today I want you to think of all the people you've left behind whenever you proceed or move up the ladder.
Remember the cup bearer remembered Joseph when the king requested for a someone who can interpret dreams, yeah God must have reminded him, but I'm buttressing on the fact that he remembered someone he left behind..

With love,

Emma Gonzalez

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Star Struck!

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...

Society and one of its ills

This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...
