Greeting!
Life will not give you what you want or deserve is the popular saying, though I'm against it the first time I heard this saying, but later in the journey of life, I'm seeing the true side of the saying, which is nothing but the truth. Hmmm! My conviction from.this saying stems from the fact that as human, whenever you scale through a hurdle, just know that another is waiting for you. So, for this reason, man must strive to exist.
Though, it's not about life not giving us what we deserve alone, but atimes, our unsatisfying attitude as human Is also contributing to life not giving us what we wanted or deserved. As we all know, human wants are insatiable. So, the insatiability of human wants is a X factor on it's own to determining what life offers to us. But still with that, man needs to strive. Life atimes is about happiness today and sorrow tomorrow as the case maybe. But my advice is that no matter the situation choose happiness because its free.
Seriously, all what I have said so far was from my recent experience, a recent experience for that matter. It's all about what happened to my between yesterday and today. What was that? Hmmm, I am a supplier who supplies building materials most especially stone dust and granite, but these days, things have been somehow, maybe due to the economic situation of the country or maybe due to the raining season that just ended. So, yesternight I received a call from a contractor. This contractor is a very good friend of mine whom has helped me in the past but facing challenges recently if not for God, The man would have killed himself just because of the debt incurred through some of the project he was supervising in the past. Though, he has been paid for this same project he called me to supply, but he has already run at loss. So, I was planning to help him in my own capacity by not charging him. Though, i will still have my own little gain too. But not like the usual customers.
So, when he called, I was happy to hear from him and was even planning on how to make the supply successful. So, for this reason, I called the driver that would help me transport the granite to the site from the quarry and the driver said he has a whole lots of supplies at hand but that he would helped me with my own first thing first in the morning. He told me not to come late the following morning. So, I woke up very early in the morning and set out, so, I met him at the trailer park where he used to park his trailer and we both went to the quarry. When we got to the quarry around 6 in the morning, we met tippers which should be around 23 at the quarry, so, it was not easy for us just to go in and load, even apart that, it was only crush and load they were doing at the quarry, just because the granite was not on ground. We waited for hours before we could get the granite. While waiting the driver was angry, frustration everywhere, but finally we loaded the truck and moved to the site.
On getting to the site, the engineer who is also my friend has been waiting for us ever since I called her before I left home in the morning. So, when we got to the site, he was happy to see us and he asked me as to why we came late which I told him all what we went through. After that, we offloaded the granite and as we were offloading the goods, he saw the sizes of the stone to be bigger than what we expected. That even reminds, at the quarry when time was no more on our sides and the driver raging, I called him to tell him ,I mean the engineer that we could get the 3/4 down. So, he said I should snap the 3/4 up, so I snapped it and sent to him and he agreed that we should bring it that way, well, maybe the camera was deceptive
So, when we offloaded, he was not happy with what he saw and he quickly asked me on what can be done, but I told him, that nothing can be done. So, he resigned to the fate of making use of it.
Now,it's time to pay the truck driver that helped in the transportation of the goods. So as I dipped my hand into my back to bring out my phone so as to transfer the money to the driver, I couldn't find the phone, my mind was beaten fast as that is the only means I can pay the driver and even apart from that, I have series of documents on the phone. So, with this, I went to the engineer to place give me money to pay the driver as I would settle him later, hmmm, I couldn't believe I have lost my phone. I was down and not happy, thinking about the stress and everything I have passed through just because of the supply. I have not passed through such a stress in my 15 years of doing the business. This one was so frustrating, plus the fact that someone just transferred a huge sum of money to my account to help him keep, I could not fathom what to do, immediately I remembered this, I quickly called my wife to help me block my account, which she did successfully so, as to prevent the unforeseen circumstances of those who stole the phone to be able to transfer the money in my account.
What happened was not what I have ever bargained for, but it happened that way, even though I was only trying to help a friend in distress, but everything turned out against me at the end. It was so painful. I have lost all my contacts already which is so painful, plus all the documents on my phone. This is not what I have wanted for my end of the year. Now, I'm now sharing phone with my wife. This post Is through my wife's phone. What a loss? But i still thank God for life.
My only consolation is that I am having my second degree convocation on Saturday, I will not have time to be thinking of the lost phone and what I'm currently passing through. I will get a small phone for the meantime.
Thanks for reading .
