Yesterday I ordered for comfort on bolt and to my greatest shock one old Honda City with questionable engine and a manual gear came to pick me. None of the glass windows could even wind down. The only thing that surprised me at that moment was that the AC actually worked even if it made some weird funny sounds like a ghost was in it. 😂
I jokingly asked him if this is what comfort gets me what will bolt basic be like? He went quiet... I could see was desperately trying to hold back the tears and said “hmm sir you won't understand but I'm sorry about the condition of my car, please bear with me”.
That response stayed with me. When he dropped me I asked for his account number, I sent him 500K and told him to please fix his car. He broke down in tears like mad, telling me I don't know what I have done for him. His wife is heavily pregnant and his car has been giving him one issue or the other but just managing it to raise enough to complete the money for C.S. Even those close to him haven't been be able to come through but a complete stranger like me does this. He thank me repeatedly and prayed for me for minutes.
You never really know what someone is going through behind a smile or behind the things you casually complain about. For me it was just an uncomfortable ride but for him that old Honda was probably his livelihood, his only means of feeding his family. I received a text from him thanking me again later that night yesterday. Be humble and grateful.

The sole aim in life is to succeed, please stay away from any negativity that is against it. My sole aim in life is to prosper, I have never been surprised by any features of prosperity.

I Love you so much @davido 👑🐐❤️
RECOVER FASTER THAN EVERYONE
Lose the day. Come back at night. Miss the gym. Go tomorrow. Waste a week. Win the next one. Get embarrassed. Stay visible. Get rejected. Try again. Fall behind. Move anyway. Stop turning every mistake into a new identity. Stop making failure mean more than it does. Stop disappearing every time life proves you’re still human. The men who win aren’t perfect. They just don’t stay gone.
The cheat code is simple.
Become impossible to keep down.
Life isn’t fair. Some have money but not health. Love but not children. Degrees but no job. Jobs but no peace.
The mistake is thinking someone’s life is perfect because you only see the part they’re winning in.
Everyone’s fighting something you can’t see. Be grateful for yours.
Also, education and intelligence aren’t the same thing. There are thoughtful people who never had much access to school, and there are highly educated people who confidently spread nonsense 😂
