EWABELA: 4 NEW LIFE LESSONS

I have been working officially in a structured environment for about 6 month now, prior to that i have always run my own business. Over this period i have learnt some very strong life lesson that i thought i knew before and i just realised am far lower in the learning curve than i realised.

Not to bore you further with stories i will start off with the list.

MY LOOK TO CHURCH FEW WEEKS BACK

PATIENCE: I learnt and am still learning patience. It is a great virtue that I thought I had but i have realised that until your patience is tested and you survive successfully - then you can be boastful. I am a very spontaneous person, whenever I want to get things done -I want it done immediately. In an office environment there are processes you must not flout, levels of authority and hierarchy that you must obey. So patience is a must and am still learning it.

my look on YOUR VIEW for SALAH

HUMILITY: I have a personalty trait of being aloof, i keep to myself a lot and i only relax among close friends. A lot of people perceived this as pride. i have learnt that i may have been making excuses on my part so run away from a character flaw. I am now learning to be humble and patient, this means i don't get to have my way all the time but i winning back some grounds.

MY LOOK FOR CHRISTY'S WEDDING

QUIETNESS: So I believe that I am well informed and i have an opinion about everything, (ITK- I too know). Sometimes am right and other times am wrong but i always voice it out in such a way that some people have now developed a negative position on everything I say. I know it might be how I say it - like I have superior knowledge on everything. That is honestly not my intention but how can I prove myself, only close friends that know me and vouch for me. So I am learning the virtue of QUIETNESS, not voicing out all that come to my head. Now I think and re-think before talking.

MY BOYS HAVING FUN

RESPECT: Another character flaw that am facing up to and dealing with is - my ineffective/ inability to greet properly. In our culture (especially Yoruba's) respect is shown by greeting, so am working on greeting everyone both young and old much better. Also am learning to respect the constituted authorities and office hierarchy. Everyone job is important so they deserve to be respected.

CROSS SECTION OF MY OFFICE

It might be coming late but its better late than never. Each day brings me closer into becoming HIS (Jesus) perfect image and i thank God for the process.
