THE MIND OF A CHILD....
I flagged down a bike,he stopped. After arriving at a reasonable price comfortable for both of us,an agreement was reached and I boarded the bike. Arriving at the park, I handed him the money which I had earlier told him I have on me,which he now rejected after sizing the money with his eyes and noticed I was having another currency of the same value but of a neater appearance on me. Being not ready to create a scene with that, I agreed to give him the other one and he handed me my change and left with his bike. After a while,I was seated in the vehicle and beside me was a heavily built woman with a 6-year old girl.
As we set off on our journey, some minutes into the journey, I heard this woman mutter to herself. 'Hoooooho! I eventually forgot the money I planned to use to buy this thing.' The little girl answered almost immediately, 'How much is what you want to buy maybe I can add mine to the money with you to complete it?'
The woman's response depicted that her thinking was clearly in apposition to her daughter's. She said 'How much do you think you have that you want to add?' 'N20' was her quick response. I did an invisible giggling, because I knew it was way of what the woman was thinking. The woman simply hissed.
As we progressed in the journey, I replayed the whole scenario in my head, and a thought came to me, 'if I were to be in the little girl's shoes,would I even offer to help even with such a meagre sum?' That's how a child thinks different from the grown up folks, children think freely,without any intention of hurting anyone's ego.
How many of us would be ready to offer help. Do you see how that little girl reasoned? That little amount she offered to help her mother with might seem little, but do you know that if she'd had more, she'd have equally raised that amount! Now,many people want to do something today,but they feel the idea is too small to do anything about, and as such,many great ideas had been buried,and remained as what they were- ideas. Many have opportunity of rendering a helping hand to someone today,but they feel,I'm not any better,maybe he should move a little bit further where he'd find someone else that may help. If you're in such a position today, change your mindset. Think deeper and do great things from humble beginnings.
Do something today,no matter how little, that your future self will be proud of. Start that small business today and watch it grow into a big one,and when you turn back in the nearest future, you'll smile to yourself and say 'I remember when we started, very small'.
