Never say no to an opportunity.
Just before you slander me, it was Richard Branson that said that,
Sounds like a deep quote now right?
We should never get comfortable to just getting exactly what we deserve
Sometimes we deserve to get an extra and sometimes even a little bit more
Today while decorating at a venue for an event
The client saw me remove my shoe to work and insisted I wear it for safety
After a while he came back and gave me over 100% The cost of slippers
I said No thank you I’ll manage my slippers
Not because I didn’t need it but I was in awe of why he was giving me that much
Then a while later I realized how stupid I was and went back for the money
Oh oh
Too late bro, he said the opportunity has passed, that I should manage further
At that point, I felt more stupid
Thoughts ran through my head
1. Why were you so ….’not stupid again na’ use to managing
2. Why didn’t I take it then find out why later sef
3. I thought of what I could have used the money for
4. Oh yes I felt stupid ..again
But fortunately for me the man came back and gave me the money
Of course I learnt something
Say yes first.
