I enjoyed today Sunday , the very first one in the month of April. The atmosphere shines brightly with clear sunlight which had been absenting for some days now. No signs of dark cloud with suspicion of rainfall. After I had left the Church , I have been quite free. That gave me unfettered access to read as many articles as possible on this great platform. Infact , how I hope I have time always to read articles everyday. These articles are wonderfully "Sweet" and encouraging. They are inspirational and contain many life-lessons. I love them.

One of the writers talked about "who do you take care the more , Yourself or Others ". Specifically , it was a highly respected @Princessbusayo that wrote the article in question. The article was interesting and very logical. Some People are disgusting in their approach to giving , even if you give them the "entire" you , they will not appreciate it ,so why can't you use the resources you want to waste on them to take care of yourself. It is true You first. Therefore yourself first , others last. That is how it should be. But the only thing I want to add is that not all others are that bad. These good ones among Others must be taken care of no matter what.

OTHERS that am referring to here should not and cannot be ignored totally. We should take cognisance of the fact that we didn't responsible for our birth. We were given birth to by our Parents. No matter how and from the little that we have we must endeavor as much as possible to give them from it. We must ensure we take care of our Parents. They had at one time or the other spent their fortune on us. By the time money starts coming to WE children we must recognized PAY BACK TIME. We should remember them in our day to day dealings and activities. It is always good and necessary to do so for our parents not minding the quantity or size of the largesse. They are part of OTHERS that should be put in mind. Literally or otherwise , they are part of Us.

The Good name we are bearing today was given to us by others. Others here are also our Parents. In some Religious Circles , when christening of New born baby is done all money collected on that day from the Christening Event is normally given out to Presiding Alfas and Imams present. No single money is given to the Parents who gave a new name to the child. You that is carrying the name around should know that you need to take care of the Parents who issued the name to you. However small. Size does not matter. They deserve to be taken care of. They are part of others that cannot be ignored.

We should not forget that we were educated by others . Our Teachers , Our Religious leaders Our Lecturers , Our Parents ,Our family members whether immediate or distant relations ,They deserve our largesse. They need to be taken care of as the progresses. It is not at the same time , but we need to have it at the back of our minds. Money given to this category of people is not a waste. But using it to show appreciation to them for their contribution towards our lives . They made us educationally. We were sharpened up by them. It is showing of gratitude. It may not be much but we are appreciating them from the little we have.

The respect that we earn possibly in our work place , in our community , in our church , in our school is given to us by OTHERS. Don't forget that if an elderly person send his junior an errand and small money remain as change , one can decide to give it to the junior one for a good job done. The junior one may perceive it that the elderly one is not stingy. From their the elderly one earns respect. Money how little it may be can buy respect. Even in our work place , it is not strange to hear some comments like "Our Boss is good", Our Boss is not Stingy" , This may not be unconnected with your boss Generosity. Be generous from the little that you have to OTHERS at least to some others that respect or give respect to you.

Significance of Taking Care Of Others.

• By taking care of others we are spreading the spirit of giving to others through our benevolence. Through giving others may take it as a way of life and imbibe the spirit. The society is better for it. A community where giving is freely done may see themselves as brothers and sisters. Harbouring of ill-feelings and rancours may not have a place in their hearts. Instead of this , spirit of helping others would occupy their minds.

• Where taking care of others exist in reality People tend to live peacefully and in harmony. Violence and unwarranted killings , reported cases of Kidnapping , banditry will not be the order of the day in such an environment. The Rich must always have it at the back of their minds that they can only enjoy their wealth satisfactorily only if the Poor are taking care of even if it is a little.

• Where Other People In the society ate taking into consideration , especially finding ways of meeting their needs and wants , or possibly set up various endowment fund to give them Entrepreneurial empowerment , however little it may be , can go along way in stopping or reducing crime commission. Commiting Crimes would reduce where others ate taking care of in a little way possible.

• Another importance of taking care of Others is that the blessings of God are divinely showers on the Givers. If one is committed to giving things to others without ulterior motives , Givers are blessed beyond expectations and imaginations. The divine blessings are far more important than praises one can get from giving. It is the blessings of God that multiply and enlarge ones coast beyond expectations.

• Whatever good you do today comes back to you in millions. It is highly important to have the minds of helping others especially our Parents. They had tirelessly worked to see us becomimg victorious in life. Helping our Parents is tantamount to planting seeds on a rich soil , when we too grow old our own children will take care of us. That is the time of harvest for us. Thanks for reading.
