"No one owes you anything"
I have always wanted to be independent of my parents, and live my life respectfully.
I grew up to hear my parents telling me that, I should not bother doing anything for money, that they are cable of paying my bills and giving me the life I deserve. This made me so happy and turned me into a lazy person too.
When I started high school, I was admitted into a school that cared so much for their students, to the extent of not allowing them fend for themselves. This was another reason I got so lazy, and not wanting to participate in any industrious activity.
During my high school days, there were students who always sell stuffs to other students,and there were students who used their skills too, to get money. Almost every students in the school were industrious, and it was very abnormal for me to depend on my parents, because naturally I love doing things, but my parents wouldn't let me do anything.
After my basic three, I applied for small jobs, I was willing to give out my best in any job I was given, but my parents kicked against it, telling me that, I was not of age to fend for myself. This got me worried and angry. There were times I wanted to leave the house so as to get my freedom and start my life.
This quote " no one owes you anything" made me very ambitious in life, and also made me strife so hard to do big things. In my school, everyone would want to make a B in a subject, but I was always going for an A.
This quote has made me succeed in anything I do, as I don't wait for mum or dad to give me things anymore.
After my high school, I got admitted into the tertiary institution, and since that time till now, I have really been free from mum and dad not wanting me to work.
I get my stuffs by myself and I don't wait for anyone to give me anything.
This quote has made me to love my relatives and not hates them, because I work had as if I am the only person that is leaving on earth not minding the fact that I have relatives, and if they are not able to help me, I help them.
This has really mould me to the extent that everyone knows that I do not beg them for anything, and I get respect from family and friends.
This has made me become hardworking, and make me a woman that men wishes to be with. Every man needs an industrious woman, and if a woman is hardworking, she earns respect from the society, nobody would talk to her in contempt because she has what it takes to be part of the society.
Everyone has to be up and doing, so as to earn respect from the society.
