TBT: THE COMBONI MISSIONARIES IMPARTED WISDOM IN ME, WHICH IS WHY I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU, HERE, FOR BEING PART OF MY LIFE, ALBEIT WE MAY NOT AGREE
==================
Yesterday, I shared my number because I wanted a phone for my mother, but instead of getting many offers for the phone, I got more people asking for help. At one point I even got upset and I feel like shouting;

"How can these people be asking help from me?! Are they okay?! Can't they see that I am also struggling?! For goodness' sake I am a refugee who doesn't even know what tomorrow will bring...."

However, I held back. To some, I respond politely, but I left many messages unanswered, because they were many. However, I remembered a story of Fr. Emmanuel (can't remember the last name) at a dinner table, back then in 1998.

I was a young seminarian, Fr. Emmanuel (the one circled in the picture) had just come back from Mexico, his home Country, for a holiday.

Talking about his elderly mother who was living alone at the time, Fr. Emmanuel told us of how his mother was complaining about her neighbours who used to come knocking on her door, asking for small things like salt, spices among other things.

She was like, "I am tired of these people coming to disturb my peace".

Fr. Emmanuel then responded to her by saying, "You are tired? Would you rather they don't come? What if they don't come?"

The mother then realized that while she was getting irritated by these people coming to ask for things, in a way, they played a very important role, which she did not realize.

By the fact that, these people used to came everyday, she had someone checking up on her, because she is alone.

Imagine, if one day, she is laying in bed with some difficulties in getting up, she would surely look forward to someone knocking on the door.

In her old age she did not have much strength to go about and socialize, which is a very important human element, so she socialized through these people that used to come asking for things.

While she had everything material, she did no company, the neighbors were the only ones she had. In their lack of basic things, they came to her and through that, they provided an essential aspect of human, otherwise she would die in her loneliness.

Many times, we don't realize the importance of others in our lives, especially if they have almost nothing to give us. At times we even boast to be the providers.

"Those people can't survive without me, I am the one that feed them", we would brag. But life has it that, at one point even the most rich or important people in society, need the lowly to help them, too.

In families, some of these people who are considered next to nothing, become very handy during challenging times, such as sicknesses, funeral, wedding preparations, etc.

Big politicians relay on the poor people in the compounds to run their campaigns, though after they win, they forget them.

Anyway, my point is that, we should never assume to be more important than others, be humble and treat people with respect regardless of the economic or social status.

Which reminds me to call one of my good friends at UTH, he is a mortuary attendant and I love of that man (Mr. Lungisani). I also like how he loves his family.

I strongly believe that, I never lack in my life because I have friends everywhere.

Thanks to all of you here, because while some of you might seem a bother to me, you count for something, you have value to me, even if we may not agree.

Even my life out here, is better, because I chat with you, so I feel like I am home. So thanks very much, otherwise I would be lonely on social media and in diaspora.

SEVEN TYPES OF PEOPLE TO AVOID!

1. WHEELBARROW PEOPLE: This category of people are energy drainers and time wasters. Such people would always want you to do everything for them. They don’t care about your own good but only theirs. They believe it’s your problem to solve their problems. One terrible thing about “wheelbarrow” is that, after you have laboured to load it up, you will still have to labour to push before it moves.

Note: Wheelbarrow people are consumers of energy, time and resources.

2. MOSQUITO PEOPLE: This set of people are only interested in sucking goodies out of your life and injected poison in replacement. They are benefits seekers but will never add values to others. Mosquito people have nothing good to offer but always want to derive goodness from others. Here is one terrible thing about “Mosquitos”, they only sing around you whenever they want to suck your blood and give you malaria.

Note: Mosquito people only sing your praises when they have something to benefit from you, while they backbite and backstab you thereafter.

3. SCAFFOLDING PEOPLE: This category of people are glory seekers and takers. Just because they have helped you at one time or another, they would want to be god over your life. They want to always control you and dictate the directions of your life. They won’t want you to be free and shine on your own but to always be under them.

One good thing about “Scaffolding” is that it’s useful but it’s usefulness is for short-term purpose. It is dangerous to be kept for permanent purpose.

Note: You must know when the relevances of scaffolding people have started constituting nuisance to your personal development and progress. And at such a time, all you must do is to discard them without delay, if not, your star will never shine.

4. CROCODILE PEOPLE: This category of people are nothing but pretenders. They don't have good reasons or godly intentions for getting closer to you. They only get close to know your secrets and will possibly use whatever personal information they know about you against you at any slightest provocation or disagreement. Crocodile people are not pretenders, they are liars, backstabbers, gossipers and twaddlers.

Note: Crocodile people would pretend to gain your empathy and make you vulnerable to their attack thereafter.

5. CHAMELEON PEOPLE: This set of people are envious and full of jealousy. They are always in unhealthy competition with you. They pretend as if they are going the same direction with you but only to silently monitor your life's progress with evil and negative intentions. They are envious of your success and as a result enter into competitive jealousy with you. Chameleon people are friends that will neither support you nor celebrate your progress, but would always amplify your downfall and mistakes.

Note: A jealous and envious friend can go any length to sabotage your efforts, frustrate your plans and destroy your dreams.

6. NAYSAYER PEOPLE: This set of people are dream killers. They won't appreciate your dreams and they will never support it. They will tell you 1001 reasons why your dream is impossible. They won't see your efforts but will always capitalise on your failed attempts. They will always see your cup half-empty and not half-full. When you are working on solutions, they would be busy creating more problems for you. They are passion killers and hope drainers.

Note: Naysayer People don't have dreams, so they will neither appreciate your dream nor support it.

7. GARBAGE PUSHER PEOPLE: This category of people are the worst of them all. They don't have anything good to offer. Their lives are full of debris, dirtiness and trashes. They are carriers of bad and negative news. They are carriers and disseminators discouraging and demoralizing information. Anytime they surface, it means they have something negative to talk about. They a peddlers of unfortunate events and negative development.

Note: Garbage Pusher People are always the first set of people to twit, post and broadcast ungodly, unfortunate, unprofitable and heartbreaking information.

You know them on your list as I also have them on my list too.

NOTE:

It is your sole responsibility to examine your life to really understand what categories of people you are surrounded with. Your life can only move in right directions the moment you associate with positive people and disconnect from negative people. Am I communicating?

2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.
