5 Years later, Amaka after much frustrating job hunting,
ended up as a Secretary in a Marketing firm earning 50,000 Naira monthly. Meanwhile, Emeka on the other hand, Couldn't Secure a Job and ended up a Taxi Driver, He makes At least 5,000 daily and if he works for only 20 days in a month, He makes 100,000 Naira that month.
One Evening, Amaka closed from work and was at the bus stop waiting for taxi when Emeka Stopped, She hopped in when she discovered the taxi was going her way but little did she know it was Emeka, all through the journey, she was engrossed in her Phone. "Is this you?" they both..
.. asked themselves simultaneously as if they planned it. Amaka gave him money but Emeka insisted she keep it. He was happy to see her and for old time sake, he left the money for her even when she insisted that she wanted to pay. They both exchanged contact and left.
Well, Amaka went home that night and was lost in thought. Not as if Emeka was looking bad but Emeka driving Taxi? She couldn't wrap her head around it. She Pitied him. Felt Sorry for him. If Emeka had allowed her she would have paid him and beg him to keep the change.
Little did she know that, Emeka actually has another Taxi running for him, He is a Land owner and he is planning on developing it soon. But because he was driving a Taxi, She felt Pity for him.
On the other hand, Emeka felt sorry for himself too. Before he slept that night, he remembered Amaka, how Neatly she dressed and Nice she Smells, "She must be earning over 300,000 Naira per month" he said to himself.
Little did he know that, If Amaka Removes he Transportation fare and feeding money from her monthly Salary, it will take her at least 3 Months to earn what he earns monthly.
Sadly, this is some of our Reality, you measure your progress and Success with that of your friends, Classmates and Relatives even with very limited information you have about them.
You think yours is worse because you look Dirtier, you think yours is worse because you are not on Cooperate wears, you think yours is worse because the other person acts and looks Nicer.
Stay Focused and Face your life. It's not a competition. Stop Comparing things, you don't have the full picture.
What you don't know is more than what you know.
Have a blissful mid-week. Stay safe.
