Human beings are not perfect, we are prone to mistakes. This is the reason you don’t always judge someone by feelings. Sometime we judge people by just taking a look at them; and without asking them questions or being very close to them so that we can understand their characters.
We looked at someone and concluded in our mind because he doesn’t behave the way you wanted or according to the norms. We forget that to know someone is more than just to glance at him or her. It takes close relationships and communication.
Las week when I was going to work, I was in a bus stop waiting for a taxi to convey me to my office. There was also a lady beside me going to her office; as we kept on waiting for a taxi, her small purse was stolen by the pocket picker. She screamed “my purse!!!” When I looked at her, she said her pause was stolen. Because of the situation she was in, she pointed at the wrong person just because he dressed like a thug. The young man was beaten the beating of his life before he was searched. When his body was searched, nothing was found.
The young man said, “seriously, I have never stolen what is not belong to me since I was born; you might see me right now as someone who dress like thug, I love to dress in this way but I have never stolen what is not mine’.
10m away from the scene, her bag was found on the ground; but there was nothing inside the bag, the phone, ATM, and money were gone.
Immediately, they called policemen to arrest the young man. 30 minutes later. The policemen came and arrested him. They young man was in the custody of police until they found the thief.
The lady was very wise, she went to another police station to track his phone because she was using an iPhone. Within 6 hours, her phone was tracked, and the person that took the phone was with an engineer to remove something in the phone. That was how the phone was tracked to an engineer who was holding the phone; the policemen were not in police uniform which made them not to suspect.
The policemen were very smart also, they came with exactly the iPhone that was stolen to the engineer workshop to repair. only one of them went to the engineer while the others hung around.
the engineer looked at iPhone and said to policeman that the "iPhone is damaged beyond repair"
The policeman said, “I love this iPhone, and I don’t have money to get the new one; If I can get another one, I will buy it”.
That was how the thief that brought the iPhone said, “I wanted to sell my iPhone and if you are interested, I will sell it to you. They bargained #100,000 ($135), and the policeman said he should send his account number to transfer the money into it.
The policeman manipulated the thief and said, “since I can’t transfer, Let’s go to my wife's shop since she has POS in his shop.
As he boarded his car, the other policemen were already in the road as if they were going to his direction. As he was driving, they stopped him and begged him for help; that was how the thief was trapped inside the car, handcuffed and taken to the police station.
When the thief was brought to the police station, the lady remembered his face and said, ‘I was waiting for a taxi; you were the one that asked me where I was going? I remember your face.
The appearance of the man was like someone that was going to office because he wore suit, tie and a brief case in his hand. No one will ever imagine that such a man could be a thief. His appearance was like an influenced man; therefore, no one could ever think such a man is thief.
To confirmed either it was collaboration work between the thief and the young man they arrested initially.
It was confirmed that they don’t know each other. Therefore, the man who was arrested earlier was innocent.
Many people that known the innocent man confirmed that he is a good man. He had his own work, and he was going to his office early that morning.
WHAT MADE THE LADY SAID SHE WAS THE ONE?
HIS DRESSING: intrinsically, when someone dressed like a thug, we often conclude that the person is a bad guy. His dress was like those bad guys that snatches one’s pocket. When I saw the man, I said in my mind that ‘It must be him’, this is because I believe that the way one dresses speaks about him/her.
If you see a man, put on soccer boot and jersey; inside of you, you will start judging that the man is a footballer or sportsmanship. If you see man wear corporate dressing; you will either say the man is working in the office because many companies have their dressing codes such as a bank.
If you see a man dressing like thug, you might conclude that the man is a thug because we believe that it is their dressing codes.
TATTOOS: The innocent man had tattoos in is hand and his neck. There are some tattoos you won’t like to see, and most of these tattoos have meaning to them. There is an article that said ‘criminals and thugs found of tattoo’. This is to say they loved tattoos; that is the reason we watched thugs, gangsters and criminals in movies with tattoos.
In conclusion, the lady judged due to the appearance of that innocent man. This is because whenever we see a person dressing in such a manner, we conclude that he must be one of them because dressing is also part of the characteristics of an individual. There are instances that your dress says a lot about you; but in the scene narrated here, it was in the opposite direction.
Even when your intuition is saying something about someone, you don’t just conclude. You need to get close to such a person to know more about him; this is because your intuition may be wrong, but if you get close to him/her, you will know more about him/her.
Nurturing your intuition in a good way, don’t have 100% believe in what your intuition is saying. Put those thoughts about the person under probability and don’t just believe on your intuition and voice out. This is because your intuition might be wrong.
I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness. Success comes to the people who are desperately and consciously searching for it. When it seems unsuccessful or you smell failure around you, never discourage yourself to be successful.
