During the burial of a young man, another young man
was crying out his heart. He wept
uncontrollably that many people kept wondering what is
wrong with him. I dropped the microphone as the MC
and went and took this weeping young man to a corner,
calmed him down and he started to explain.
He was with the guy that died the day he met his
death. He drove off first and on getting to a particular
spot, he noticed that some armed
robbers were getting ready to block the road and
resume operation. He managed to escape.
He started calling his friend to tell him what he saw,
that he should remain where he was. This
friend would not pick his call. To him: “why is he
calling? He should know that I am driving
right behind him”. He refused to pick the call as this guy
kept calling and calling. Finally, he drove into the now
ready armed robbers and they pumped countless bullets
on him. He died on the spot and armed robbers stole his
car. This man was crying because he knew his friend
killed himself.
Many of us are just like this. Are you the one buying the
credit for him or her? Pick your call when your phone
rings and know why you are been called. If the phone
rings twenty times in one minute, pick in all occasions.
He was saving credit for his friend because I am driving
straight to where he is, he met his death.
You are in an occasion and you are calling someone you
are looking at because you want
to pass a crucial information, he ignores the call and is
walking up to you instead, even when you
are making sign that he should pick the call. It is
possible that this caller didn’t want you to come near
him because he wanted to code something. Pick your
call and say hello.
Some people will not pick calls from numbers they don’t
know and Iwonder: HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW
ON PLANET EARTH? DO YOU EVER THINK THAT THOSE
PEOPLE YOU KNOW ARE ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE?
Note something, there is no one individual that knows
up to 1% of the world population. Is it
not insanity for you to restrict your life to just 1% of
global population? What of the remaining
99%? Many people have missed life saving opportunities
because they refused to pick a particular call.
PICK YOUR PHONE WHEN IT RINGS AS LONG AS YOU
ARE AVAILABLE. ONE CALL
CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER.
