Tammy and Tayo had been best friends for years and if there's anything remarkable about their friendship is the fact that they are both present in each other's life.
When the one is winning, the other is genuinely happy, celebrating and vice versa.
Tammy had been on a project for a while, but had failed at so many attempt. She wanted to recreate her own lamp stand.
Every time she failed, Tayo reminded her that failure is never the end of the road. "It's part of life Tammy, one more try.. Don't give up!"
Tammy would go to bed with teary eyes, wishing her project would become a dream come true.
One Afternoon, Tammy decided to try harder. She did so a couple of times but failed again. "I can't do this anymore Tayo," She lamented but Tayo held her hands and cheered her up. "There's nothing impossible, if only you believe."
She dismantled it and started all over while Tayo cheered her up at the slightest opportunity.
It took her sweat, blood and tears but seeing Tayo beside her encouraged her to keep going.
After eight hours of trying again.. Tammy was able to bring her project to reality.
The lamp stand stood out as one of the fanciest. She leapt for joy and hugged Tayo. She couldn't believe her eyes.
To celebrate her little achievement, Tayo organized a little party inviting her families and friends the next evening.
They told the audience how they struggled behind the scene and encouraged people to not give up on their dreams.
"Many people only show you the highlight of their lives but no oner really share the behind-the-scene," It was a motivation for everyone present that they too can achieve whatever they set their heart to.
With good friends beside them, they can keep thriving no matter the challenge.
Tayo and Tammy held the beautiful lamp stand to show the world a beautiful masterpiece made out of doubt, fear and failure.
This means that something beautiful can still come out of ashes, if only one is determined. The audience present were wowed by their story and took lots of pictures of them.
The children were excited as well and ensured they had fun too. It was a very memorable night and that fueled Tammy to keep chasing her dreams no matter how hard it may seem or far from her reach it might look.
Tayo on the other hand was glad to be a part of Tammy's success story and that made their bond stronger.
