Back then when I was a kid, my parents did tell me some things about doing things when you ought to do them. But back then I did wonder why they said all of that because most of those things do not really work like that, and that's because we were younger. But as we grow up with them, we understand most of these things, and that's because we have the knowledge to carry most of what they have been saying, and most of these things are what we learn by ourselves, and that is what I call experience. Learning is not just about what we learn from our parents.
The fact that I have been able to work with a series of people and I have seen the kind of lifestyle different people have, I see a lot of different attitudes from people, and I don't really care that much. That's because I know we as humans have different approaches to things, and the way we understand things matters a lot. When I grew up to some certain stage in my life, I began to see things like a normal thing, and I reacted less to things I saw around me.
When I got admitted into the university about 6 or 7 years ago, I met a set of new people with different mindsets and different beliefs, cultures, and heritages, so I try to learn one or two things from people and learn from the way they behave. So there is this lady where I stay who I will say has a bad character, but as we know, even with the bad character, she still has some good character in her. She behaves very nonchalantly today, and you will always call her to order in every case, and the fact that you are not the parent of that person will make you want to say less.
So this has been going on for about 5 years, and now everyone is departing because we all have graduated. So she shows this bad trait that she does not care about anyone; she does not care about her own life. She is nonchalant about the fact that she does not know how to do laundry and not wash the clothes she used. And even when she calls someone to wash that stuff for her, she will still call people to pack and clean it up for her also.
I then wonder how her parents must have been able to manage her till the stage she is now. And I wonder how she will be able to cope with the kind of man that wants to marry her because no man in his right senses will want to marry a lady like that. This is not me saying this, but trust me, it could be anyone because being a guy and getting married to a lady, you will surely want to see a true attribute in the lady before you will want to consider that lady. But all the same, my point is that when you are doing anything in this life, you must be willing and able to do the right thing every time because your true culture and attitude will surely surface.
