You have!

You don’t have!!

Tales of the haves and the have-nots; everybody will not be rich!!!

First, to whom much is given, much is expected; to whom less is given, much is equally expected; and unfortunately for who has nothing, much is still expected; that’s the reason for the pressures and suicides, because nobody expects nothing. The world care less about who is doing nothing, that’s why you should be careful not to be careless with yourself.

Second, there’s always a second choice; but never settle for less, nor bow down at the alter of mediocrity. But, instead of committing suicide, please balance wherever you find yourself; let life go on, poverty was there in the beginning of time. Inside life, never attempt taking the life you didn’t give yourself; it’s eternal damnation. Don’t let yourself suffer on Earth and still be lost in the Afterlife.

Third, there’s not always another chance, that’s why you should seize the opportunities you seek when availed to you. But don’t be too tasty, that you drink from any cup handed to you nor be too hungry, that you eat all served at the table; that’s how people get poisoned. Be careful who you follow, they may know the road and still mislead you on purpose. When you are too desperate, you are equally too vulnerable, and a vulnerable person is a prey to predators. Pray your people don’t prey on you!

Important, take risks. If you pass you earn, if you fail you learn; but don’t be too stupid that your risk will take you instead. What works for one fails another. Don’t be naïve into believing that everyone can make it the same way; rub out that sleep from your eyes, and delete those delusions in your mind. Just as people have different faces, so is their destinies and fates. There’s division of labour here on earth; if everyone starts to do the same thing because it’s more profitable, everyone will have to do everything for themselves. Just because playing football, wrestling, singing, acting, and the host of other entertainment and sport activities seem to be more celebrated; doesn’t mean the rest of the world should dive into those fanciful endeavours. The soldiers, doctors, scientists, engineers, teachers, lawyers, bankers, drivers, traders and hawkers are all important.

Very important; legal or illegal is your choice. As you make your porridge, so you shall eat; if you like, you can poison yourself; that’s your business. Yes, man is inherently greedy, selfish, and wicked in nature; man is only good to who is good to him. The love of money has driven many minds away from their talents; people no longer believe in themselves because of the illusion, that it is brighter on the other side. Of course, everybody needs money, but that doesn’t warrant killing for it. You need money, then you kill another that equally need money, and you believe the same money won’t kill you. Whether you believe it or not; karma is real, you just won’t know when it is happening and how it is happening. Time times all.

Moreover, you can make it or break it, depending on how you take it, do it, or keep it. Whatever you do, be the good one; salvation can come from the smallest of kindness. If you get, help who no get; if you no get, don’t envy who get! If you get, you mustn’t help everyone and not all the time; if you no get, everyone won’t help you and help doesn’t come all the time. Givers never lack and takers never stop; be kind but not wicked, be smart and never senseless.

In a like manner, just as givers can never give enough, takers can never take enough. Therefore, why don’t you help yourself first? You know what you want, then, you ought to be the first to grant your own wishes by using what you have to get what you want. You can interpret it anyhow you like; but never repeat the mistakes of the past. We all know that people help people, but we have also seen and witnessed that help is not always available; at least not when most needed. Disappointment is part of life; you mustn’t get all you want and when you want them. But before you blame someone else, blame yourself first. You can’t force someone else, to give you what you can’t force yourself to give yourself.

Conversely, life is a ship and everyone the sole captain of theirs. You are the captain of your ship, who you put on board is your business, but if you sink, you sink alone. Never forget; be careful who you allow on your ship, least the evil one will throw you overboard overnight. Look out for the storm, so that you don’t get stunned. If you happen to find yourself amidst the storm, remain calm and focused; exit doubts and fears; for every tide fade out with time. A ship can’t sail itself; you need people more than people need you; that is the essence of connections. Make more friends, and fewer enemies, for you may not know when the Pirates parade. If possible, have friends among the pirates; for nothing is impossible. If you imagine it; you can manage it. Your mission is the safety of your ship; never forget that, and never take the sea for granted. You’re not invincible.

Consequently, amidst all the hustles and hurdles; it’s pertinent to look before you leap. The waters of life may seem shallow but very deep; never test the depth with both feet, and never fool yourself. If you don’t know nor understand, it is wise to ask questions or ask for help, don’t render yourself helpless when you can’t help yourself. Likewise, if you don’t have, try your possible best to have; but if emergency emerge, don’t fail to ask for help; that’s the essence of family and friends. Although, some may never help; but ask still. Sometimes, the nature of your condition can move still-hearts. Demons are also Angels; and some angels are demons.

Dearly beloved, it is wise you know that; people don’t invest in who they don’t have interest in or get interest from. Don’t distance yourself from your family and friends, only to show up any time emergencies and exigencies shows up, they may turn you down; people only care more about who care for them. If you are not from a rich family, make friends; friends are also family. When you make friends, you make money; for friends that have money shall help the friends that don’t have money. That is a natural rule of life; except they are not your friends, but you are their friend. Pray for wisdom. Know where your life stands in people’s lives; so that you don’t think you matter, when you don’t matter at all. Without the rich, the poor will suffer poorly; and without the poor, the rich won’t feel rich. The rich and the poor need themselves in the society; the other seeks for help, and the other renders help.
