Hello everybody! Eku deede iwoyi o!
It seems the summer is finally slowing down
as we experience rains cooling us down towards autumn. I would like to share
another story with you again this month. Enjoy it.
I walked into a hotel and after going
through the menu, I ordered some food. After about 20 mins a group of guys and
ladies walked in and ordered theirs. To my dismay, these folks got served
first. I watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. I even overheard one
of them bragging about how connected he is to everyone in the hotel and I felt
mocked. I decided to leave. Unable to take it anymore, I called the waiter. He
calmly told me: "yours is a special order, being prepared by the chief
chef himself. Their orders were prepared hurriedly by students on industrial
attachment because the top chefs are busy with yours. That's why they were
served first. Please have some juice as you wait". I calmed down and
waited patiently.
Shortly after, my meal was served by 6 waiters. Unknown to me, the owner of the hotel who happened to be an old long lost friend of mine saw me when I entered and decided to surprise me. She changed my simple meal to a five-star meal. The party at the other table was shocked. They couldn't stop staring. Suddenly they were the ones murmuring, asking why they didn't get that kind of service and meal.
Such is life! Some people are ahead of you and are eating now, laughing at you, and talking about how they are smarter, wiser, and better than you, how they are well connected, blessed, have money, and are enjoying life. You are waiting tirelessly wondering why it's taking so long to breakthrough, You endure mockery and humiliation. Maybe you have contemplated suicide, gone through depression, or suffered severe mental anxiety. Do not worry! You're waiting a long because yours is a special meal. It takes time to prepare. And only chief chefs prepare them. Wait for your meal and relax. When it comes that laughing party will be silenced for good.
We celebrate with you if you were born in September. Wishing
you a very happy birthday and a splendid year ahead.
Have a wonderful month everybody and stay
safe!
