She asked a question in a general group on WhatsApp. I responded to the question professionally. She tagged my response and typed: "you're an idiot" I replied: "Thanks so much, now that you point my attention to this idiotic part of me, I'll surely work on it, God bless you my dear..."

And the whole place shook. Over 118 people commented and were so surprised by my response. Of course she was terribly bashed to the extent that she left the group.

An hour later she called me to apologise for her stupidity bla bla bla. We became friends.

On my birthday last year, she and her husband gave me a gift worth a lot.
This was a year after she called me an idiot.

Lessons from it.
1. Your reaction to negative feedbacks  or situations shows how mature you have.
2. You have the power of choice whenever anybody does or says anything to you.
3. If someone calls you anything negative and you lose yourself and begin to fight or shout or do anything terrible, you only prove them right.
4. It is better to keep quiet and people think you're a fool than for you to open your mouth and they confirm you're truly a fool.
5. You have the power to win people through your maturity and composure.
6. Life is all about people. If I had responded to her negatively, I would have lost a friend forever.
7. There are people who are sent to you by God to help your journey in life to be worthwhile, your meeting point might be at a fighting point. Be wise, even when you're angry.
8. She was humble enough to call and apologised. Maybe there's someone you need to reconcile with.

Thanks and God bless.
I learnt from this, hope we all learn one or two things.
One of the reasons we struggle to fulfil our aim of developing the society is because many people massage their egos and promote their pride.
If we all do an eye for an eye we will all be blind.
We need to practically join hands to better the society.
The abundance of wealth without love is void.
If TLF gives all those who are needy and there's no love, it will amount to nothing.

TLF celebrates with Viola on her birthday today

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
