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.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
