Life isn't easy; people are going through a lot This came after I had a dialogue with one of my friends about how broke he was and how he felt the world was very much against him; I was attempting to persuade him that things would get better if he kept trying and that there was always optimism; he had a hard time believing me, and at one point he simply said, "Man, you know I try so hard but nothing good happens in my life." That got me thinking, and I started wondering how I could encourage him. After all, it's completely normal for him to feel that way; everyone faces a number of challenges, but what distinguishes one person from another is how they deal with them. So I thought about it over and over until an idea came to me, and I decided to make something that would encourage him and others like him and I'm basically writing article on how his life changed and also I'm sharing his life story, which he gave me permission to share it but I'm not going to use his real name. `Kindly check out my awesome sponsors before I share his story` This began after Mr. Zach graduated from university and was still looking for work, which was difficult until he found a job as a bartender with a woman known as madam kofo, who wasn't very good at abusing people, and whether you were guilty or not, she would slap you for as long as you worked for her before she could listen to you, that's how short her impulsiveness was. He was actually going through a lot to the point where the woman makes him thrive over until 10pm and she knows where he was living is almost a 2 hour bus ride and with traffic in our country that's another 2 hours, but my friend doesn't feel bad about it because he had no other alternatives, and he always says "at work that's where we'll know people who're serious only if your parents own the company that's when you can do anyhow." After two months, Madam Kofo had lost all of her staff due to her behaviour and attitude, and the only person still working for her was Mr Zack, who was working because he didn't have any other options, so Mr Zack noticed Madam Kofo's behavior had changed, and all of this was as a practical matter of her looking for workers; but luckily, she found a girl willing to work for her, despite the fact that she doesn't appoint girls, but she needed a bartender so she appointed her. Within a short time, this girl began to exhibit her true character, and if you purchased a drink of $5, she would sell it for $7 and keep the additional cash, and if you bought 10 drinks, she would insist that you bought 12. Mr Zack became fully cognizant of this over time and decided to tell her that the madam kofo is not the woman she thinks she is, and that if she nabbed her doing it, it would be her last day working as a bartender, but she refused to listen and began making excuse after excuse for why she did it, and Mr Zack's final statement was that "what is bad is bad, there's really nothing we can call it." Mr Zack tried to warn her that this was a loyal customer and what she was doing now would prove to be fatal, and even the little money she adds on those drinks she sells won't even purchase her a house, so why is she confiscating? A few days later, she did the same thing, a customer came over to buy an alcoholic beverage, baileys, and she did what she typically does, baileys which was $10, she sold it for $15. To cut a long story short, the customer returned to the bar and began complaining about how the bartender girl had added over $5 to his drink and that if it hadn't been for his brother who told him the main price, the argument would have escalated. In the midst of the explanation, madam kofo came by and before she could impose sanctions, the bartender girl was begging on her knees and castigating everything on economic hardship. She didn't do anything, which fascinated Mr Zack, and before madam Kofo could go inside, something flashed into her head and she said, "But this girl just began work, how did she develop this kind of unethical behaviour?" She said confidently that Mr Zack was the one who taught her all of this inappropriate behaviour. Madam Kofo repeatedly called Mr Zack and told him to come over before he could meet her. She tried to slap him, but Mr Zack grabbed her hand and said explicitly to her face, "Please don't try it because I'm not in the mood and I've been trying to tolerate your attitude all this time and if you try to slap me again, what will happen next won't be good at all." That's how Madam Kofo got rid of Mr Zack, her best bartender. However, the adventure progresses in the next article. ****Final thought**** This is the first part of Mr Zack story and what I learnt from this is that; don't allow anyone to use you until you're completely worned out even though you're at your best behavior they will still want to see the beast in you. Life isn't always easy. Even if you believe it to be true, it is never that simple for everyone. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and it appears to be worsening. People are going through a lot, but the wealthy will continue to put those who are less fortunate through a lot. This is why I do my best effort to make a difference, even if it is a small one, and to aid the less fortunate by letting them know that they have someone on their side who understands their situation.
