​THE INTERVIEWEE WHO HATED ME​

6 years ago a guy looked at me face to face, and boldly told me; "I don't like you!" I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future. Today I joined a CEO friend of mine in an interview Panel to recruit some new staff, it was a long session, as we returned from a coffee break to continue the hectic interview session, here was this same guy walked in with his grey jacket and CV coming for the interview. Our eyes kissed by fluke, we immediately recognised each other; "the world is indeed spherical", I soliloquized. He felt very uncomfortable through out the interview, one could clearly see the volcanic eruption ongoing in his whole nervous system, he even mistook his date of birth for his last date of empl...

​THE INTERVIEWEE WHO HATED ME​

6 years ago a guy looked at me face to face, and boldly told me; "I don't like you!"

I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future.

Today I joined a CEO friend of mine in an interview Panel to recruit some new staff, it was a long session, as we returned from a coffee break to continue the hectic interview session, here was this same guy walked in with his grey jacket and CV coming for the interview.

Our eyes kissed by fluke, we immediately recognised each other; "the world is indeed spherical", I soliloquized.

He felt very uncomfortable through out the interview, one could clearly see the volcanic eruption ongoing in his whole nervous system, he even mistook his date of birth for his last date of employment. It wasn't yet my turn to ask him questions so I allowed everyone to take their turns with him and deliberately opted to interview him last.

When it got to my turn, the first thing I said was, "I LIKE YOU so much, you look to me like a brilliant and intelligent person, but it seems you are not doing well now because something bothers you, true?"

"That's very correct Sir!" He responded.

"Ok look at me straight in the eye, I was never offended that day, it is very normal that sometimes as humans you just don't like certain people, but I wasn't bothered either, because whether you liked me or not, it was inconsequential to my life and my success path - as you can see, fate has brought you to my lair"

I stood up and beckoned him to come and embrace me, everyone on the panel at this point were at sea - wondering if we had expeditiously recast an interview session to a Hollywood movie scene.

He hugged me so long and deeply that I felt it. Then I told him, "now get your confidence back bro and answer the questions like a Pro Shark that you are, we all burst into laughter, everyone suddenly liked him and the room became livelier - the interview became more like a discussion, well to cut the long story short, he got the job!

~ Be careful how you treat people when they appear to be in their vulnerable state, your next level may be hanging in their balance; somewhere in the future.

~ If you dislike someone, it is not their fault, it is YOUR FAULT, work on yourself to find good in people and reinvent your Mind to see everyone as likeable.

~,Don't spew hatred vocally just because it came into your heart, you may say it to someone who will keep it forever and use it against you when you find yourself in your own low moments and need them.

~ Learn to forgive, overlook people's dislike and hatred for you, dont punish people just because you have the position and privilege to do so, bless them rather - that's how you court God's blessings, favour and protection.

Music & Earphones

Honestly, I'm losing friends...mmh, that's totally bad. I'm not saying am an Island. The point is, My friend is that one guy talking to me through my earphones, accompanied by beats and tunes. In simple terms, well-conveyed lyrics. I like these people....I have friends. One of them told me my eyes will pop-out if I listen alot using earphones. Please, if yours popped out because of earphones, let me know... It might be true. I know not. But I looked around and spotted something worth of sharing. Pop ém out!!

In your Presence Lord

haha ignore the previous 2 posts..they are empty... God's presence is so amazing, it's our source of life and this life comes with everything we require in this life. There's nothing I love more than God's presence. This one's for you My King; In your Presence Lord i choose to be present. Always basking in your glory and thanking you for my story. Never looking back but always coming back. You touch my heart so deep that i just can't help but sing...sing that i love you, that i want more of you, that i need you. Sweeping me off my feet you leave me sinking in your love so deep. Nothing going amiss, never growing weak but always seeking deep. Consumed in your presence, taken by your power that i assumed the hour. I don't wanna leave but live. In your presence i will wait never growing faint. In you am complete oh i choose to sit...to sit and wait no hurry to leap and faint.You are my Rock, my God, my All, my Fortress that i run to when hopeless. The glim...

Eulogy | How could you leave us?

I feel this.The only difference is mine is a dad, minus pills. I lost my dad. Hard to keep up  with. Thanks for a place to let it out. Hard to keep it in. Harder to tell a story. Just write down what you're thinking n feeling +Patrick   (not everything though)  Can't use a past tense..I love my dad. I told my dad I loved him once, and it felt awesome. Had never done. I've never told my mum that I love her. I think I need to. I felt so bad...I've never wanted the news bearer to be as wrong as that day. I thought of praying and raising the dead, but just couldn't do it. Science said no, God let it happen. He has reasons. Can't question. NF kinda painted it for me. Honestly, some things can't be forgotten. Can't be undone. Can't be replaced. The only thing I have are precious last moments and advices. Specifically the last thing I did is share a cup of tea in my room. If you're watching Dad, I'm not looking back. I'm matching forth...
