This image belongs to me.
Moving into our topic for week 50 and edition two, which says *opportunity lost and opportunity found. In this my small life I don't think I can remember all the opportunities that I have lost, but one good thing is that there are still some that I get the chance to meet again and I grab it, but ahhh! There are some that the opportunity to grab back never flashed any light and that is how I let them go with all had I known. But all the same, some times I will look for encouraging words for myself so that I won't feel too bad. Words like: it was not meant to be, that is how God wants it, and some words of encouragement even in Hausa language - robin kwado baha Hawa sama. Meaning that what is meant to be for frog can't go up. You know that frogs don't go up no matter the situation, they are always down. So it then means that anything that is meant for frog must always end up in the ground so that frog will have access to it.
OPPORTUNITY LOST.
I lost a very vital Opportunity to o to school when I was younger. For me, this is the highest and most painful Opportunity that I have lost and I never stopped regretting until I got it back. Then it was just about going to school and I never knew that my destiny was tied to school. So, when you see someone like that Who lost such Opportunity that has a destiny attached to it. Definitely nothing else will work properly for that fellow. For me, I later discover that for me to get to any reasonable level in life education holds the keys that will open the door. I never saw it like this at first when I lost that opportunity to go to school. Though not totally my fault, but I have seen people struggle against all odds and sponsored themselves through school. But for me, when the opportunity was gone pass me, I just waved it and thought that I will never be in need of it again.
OPPORTUNITY GAINED
Have you ever heard the word: lost but found? In our primary school days, what you will hear is: careless owner, who owns this? Please come and collect it before I throw it away. Infact, for me that was it. I lost something carelessly. But God is soo merciful that he kept announcing this to my ears until one day, I got the understand of what the opportunity that I lost meant to me.
Friends, I got back my Opportunity after 25 Year years when some of my mates were already doctors, some lawyers, some engineers, some pilot and what have you. Infact, it got to a point that each time I see my primary school mates, I feel so ashamed of myself for not insisted and continued with them. There were all doing well as at then. I was challenged to pick it up again and move on. Someone said that there is hope for a living dog than for a dead lion. This is very correct. I was like that dog who can't do much to compare to a lion, but the good news is that I am still alive to take back what belongs to me. So, I picked it up and moved on. Do you even know the funniest part? I went back to school and have worked passed alot of them that were ahead of me before now. Some of them just got there degree and stopped there. But in one field, I already have my master degree planning to go for my Dr. Degree. And some of them kept saying to me, you just came back and over took us.
LESSONS TO LEARN FROM MY STORY.
it doesn't matter how bad things have become, as long as there is life, there is still hope for a better tomorrow.
Keep moving as long as you can. It will only take time for you to reach to where others are.
Life is a very big teacher. I have come to learn so many things from life. All I can say is that I don't think I will have a better teacher tomorrow.
Thanks for coming around.
