"No one gives you what you deserve, but what you demand" Last week, my wife shared a story she read online about someone who gave a contract link to a friend, and the contract yielded 450,000 Naira profit. The writer posited that though he could have done the job himself, he wanted to put a smile on his friend's face. From the story, maybe that said friend was passing through financial distress and needed the money more. After the execution of the project, the friend sent ₦10,000 to "appreciate" the friend who brokered the contract deal for him. The writer said although he had no sense of entitlement, he was embarrassed to have gotten ₦10,000. Apparently, he meant it was too little to show appreciation for a 450,000 profit.

For the sake of space, I won't bore you with a perso...

As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?" The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue." The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him." The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence." The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..." The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?" The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green." The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?...

Social Media has made us not to know who our mates are any longer. Because each of us is holding a smart phone and has data to post, we don't take a minute to reflect on the possible personality of the person at the other end communicating  with us. And I will share a personal experience.  Few days ago, I shared a content on a particular WhatsApp platform which attracted a few positive comments from members of the group. But someone slid into my dm and made some observations on things I could improve on the project. I didn't know him or her from anywhere (but from the way he spoke I could almost tell he or she is my junior). Well, for me, that doesn't really matter. I just said "thank you, I appreciate" and let him go. The next day, I implemented about 90% of his or her recommendations.  Then I did something that only a few people would consider doing.  I went back to the person, submitted the latest version of the work and asked for further criticism (critics are...
