***Note:*** *This is a popular story that you all might have come across something similar to it. Coz, I only manage to write it in my little way of understanding based on what I have read and watched. Thanks for your understanding.*

It was a sunny day. Three old men with long white beards were wandering in the road. They saw a beautiful little house and decided to enter the house.
On getting there, one of the old men knocks on the door. A beautiful lady opened the door. The old men asked her about her family whether she lives alone.
The lady replied me and my mother-in-law is here, my husband went to the farm and the children went to school, they will be back home in the evening. Is there anything wrong Sirs, Please let me know how I can help? Said the lady.
The old men look at the lady and told her, nothing wrong my dear. we will wait until all members of your family return home.
At first, the lady was scared about what the three old men said, having different thoughts in his mind thinking that her husband has done something wrong.
The lady replied, but you look so tired and weak. Let me get you some food and water. You may have some rest.
They said no and no problem dear, we are not hungry and we don't need anything. We shall want till evening.
All the three men move down to a tree in front of the house, Sitting down under the tree and relaxing.
The children are back from school in the evening after finished eating the old men were talking to them. It was almost 6 pm and the lady again asked the three men if they would live to have some drink. They said also said no. The woman, her mother in law and children were a little suspicious, as they had no hint about who those three old men were.
An hour later, her husband reached home. She told him everything that happened and ask him to talk to those old men. The man tells them to come inside their house. The entire family welcome the three old men and requested them to get in.
The first old man told the family, I'm so sorry. All of us cannot enter your house, you have to choose one among us, as we all don't enter into a house together.
The family was confused, while the first man added, I'm **LOVE.** If you want to have the flow of love and peace forever in your house, pick me. He then pointed straight to the second man and said, He is **Wealth!.** He will give you endless wealth**.** He also points to the third man, **Success**. He will provide you with success in all your attempts in life.
The man continued, Now you can choose one among us and the person you chose will enter your home and lived with forever.
The family started discussing which one to choose from them after a few minutes of discussion zero conclusions were made. So the lady feels to invite wealth as they weren't rich. However, the man refused and wanted to invite success and prove to the world that he is very successful in the world.
Alternatively, the children and the old lady, the grandmother had a different thought. They wanted to invite love so that the family can happy forever.
After discussing for some minutes, the family invites Love to fulfill the desire of the children and the old lady.
The entire family approached the three men and invited "LOVE" to stay with them. By hearing this, all the three old men entered the house happily. The family was surprised seeing the three men going straight toward the house, and they all questioned the old one men's
One of the men, "SUCCESS" told them that if your choice is something different from love, the person you chose will live with you and me and wealth will leave your family. "WEALTH" added that just as your choice if Love, Success, and Wealth are accomplished by LOVE. The place will be filled with love, will be filled abundance prosperity, and success.
****Addition****
Love should be the first thing to consider in our life, coz a Wealthy family without Love won't live happily, there will always be a conflict between one another, and that might be the beginning of the end of their wealth. We should always put Love first in all we do, to end up living happier together as one big family. There's nothing greater than living our lives with love and showing love to one another. We are know how good it is to be successful and we also know how great it is to be wealthy. Success and Wealth are something we all need to live our best life. But if Love is missing everything might turn around to be worst. Love ❤️ is very important. Let loves one another, so as s to live happily forever.
SHARE LOVE AND CHOOSE TO STAY LOVABLE.

My Best Advice to Make 2022 Your Best year.

Disclaimer: I don't mean to teach you how to live your life, am just written on my perspective. Thanks for your understanding.

Many people produce their poverty by habits they introduce into their lives.The try to skip the term and conditions, Like a child must learn to crawl before he can walk, so must you meet your needs before spending on your wants. You can't be spending on luxuries when your necessities are outstanding.
Don't be shy of these four things in life. old clothes, poor friends, your old parents, and your simple living. Because clothes don't define your talents and what you are capable of doing. There is no status in friendship as long as you understand yourselves and also helping each other to achieve goals. your poor parents are the reason why you become what you are today you shouldn't be ashamed of your parents even if they are disable you should still be proud of them and always see them happy. Living simple life don't means you don't know to to enjoy yourself, spending the money the way you like, most times it's better to lives a simple live to avoid people knowing much about you. Coz success can't really be judge by our appearances.
Do not let the power of social media rush you to do some dirty shit or make you feel less than what you are. Run your race on a low key, focus on yourself and you'll get to where you want to be in life, just remain focused don't take two steps at once, coz you might end up meeting yourself on the floor, don't try to kill two birds with a stone if you don't have the resources, coz you might end up not achieving anything, which will make you feel that you're unproductive.
Even with many opportunities online most of us will still end 2022 broke and poor coz we always feel dependent and did not ready to explore more knowledge to the little we know. As long as we still live we still need to keep learning more to achieve what we want coz the world we never stop teaching us how to achieve our goals. It is now left to us whether to listen or not. I don't really see anything special about every new year, all I see is just the change of date, if you don't, do the right thing at the right time, you might still end this year poorly.

A cow eats grass and gets nourished, but if a dog eats it, it will be malnourished. Never compare yourself with other people. Maybe fear is all in your mind, it's a thought that mentally blocks you from doing things yourself, just stay positive, and reduce your fears tell yourself you can, coz there is nothing that can't be done in life. Run your race yourself. What works for others might not work for you and can even kill you. In 2022 focus on the gifts God gave you and don't be envious of others
***_________________________________***
Dear singles man, in 2022 remember this that Money will attract the wrong type of woman to you. The character will attract the right type of woman to you. Don't use your money to chase women. Use your money to achieve self-growth and development. And the right woman will Chase you! The same thing applied to all single women. Vice verse.
***_________________________________***
Remember your background. Nobody has your back like your mother, including the woman that will put her back for you. Don't wait until she has gone before you start to pay back all the good she has gone for you. You find it hard to spend 1000 naira on her and find it easy to spend millions on his burial ceremony that's insanity if you're among those people who practice this act stop it. Even the holy books said, Honour your father and your mother as the Lord as your God commanded you, that your day may be long, and that he may go well with you. Appreciate her and Pay her back while she is still back on Earth.
***_________________________________***
The Fun many people had in 2021 was not even fun for them. They did it because their group called it fun. They went to Clubs, smoked and drink what they did not like, and hung out with people they share little in common. In 2022 define your idea of fun and stick to it, and make sure it does not hinder your goals.
You can't continue doing the same thing you did last year and except different, results, that's insanity. sorry for saying that. 2022 will still be the same as 2021 if we keep doing the same thing that we have been doing. you are not always happy when you're broke, but one heavy alert relives your heavy heart. You start to smile. If the alert is heavy enough, the smile will turn to laughter. What can be more fun than that type of fund? In 2022, take the risk to seek for funds and not fun!
***A word should be enough for the wise👌.***

Essence Of Being A Teacher
****This is the story of an old teacher with his old student(Joseph).****
One day Joseph came to school early, a few minutes later his friend, who was also a student, came to school with a nice new watch. When Joseph sees how nice the watch is, he decided to steal it from his friend.
After some hours in school, he managed to steal the watch and took it out of his friend's pocket.
Shortly after, after his friend noticed the watch was missing, he immediately complained to the teacher.
Then the teacher addressed the class saying, a student's watch was stolen during class today. Whoever stole the watch, should return it right away. Joseph was afraid and decided to return the watch, and then remembered that if he does the whole class will mock him by calling him a thief and he might even be rusticated by the principal.
So he manages to keep it in his pocket. The teacher repeat, again that who has found a watch and nobody was able to return it. Then the teacher has the student which watch was missing to close the door and told everyone to stand up in a circle. That's he is going to search their pockets one by one until the watch was found.
He also told them to close their eyes, that he should be the only one to search for it because he would only look for the watch if all eyes his closed.
All the students in the class do as instructed by closing their eyes.
The teacher then went from pocket to pocket, and when he get to Joseph's turn he went through his pocket and found the watch and took it out, he did not stop there he kept searching, and when he was done he said open your eyes we have the watch. The students were relieved and at the same time was eager to know the thief in their class........ Joseph was shivering and sweating saying within his mind that everything was over.
But he was lucky the teacher didn't tell and never mentioned the episode.
20 years later after what has happened to Joseph. Joseph has graduated and become a teacher in the United State.
So one faithful Sunday afternoon, Joseph arrived from the state on his way home he saw a teacher along the road and quickly tell his driver to stop. He came down from the car and quickly run to meet his old teacher back then in secondary school. He approaches the old man and asks:
"Did you remember me? And the old man says no then Joseph tells him he was his students the old man asks.
What did you do in life? He says, well I became a teacher. The old man said how come it goes like me. Joseph reply and said you're the reason why I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.
The old man was curious, he asks him when, how, at what time did I inspire you to become a teacher. And Joseph tells him the whole story.
Joseph said to his teacher, you didn't tell on me and never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either, That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the shameful day of my life. But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief or bad boy.
He faces the old man again, saying You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or that me aside to give me a moral lesson. I received the tour message clearly.
Thank you, Sir coz you made me understand what a real educator needs to do.
Do you remember this episode, Sir?
The old man answered, yes I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone's pocket. I didn't remember you because I also closed my eyes while looking. They both smiled together and laugh🤗😂.
Two weeks later Joseph and his old teachers flew to the United States 🇺🇸 .
***Conclusion***
`Most of us go through the wrong way at an early age doing stupid stuff, like Stealing, fighting, smoking, and if nobody is there to correct us we might end up doing the same thing till we grow up which may later affect our future. Every guardian has what it takes to change our life into good while we are still young, they have the power to lead us into the right path. And also If what you only know as a teacher, lecturer, professor, pastor, cleric, and guardian/parent is to humiliate; then you don't know how to teach. The essence of being a teacher is not only to teach about books but also to help them develop their natural gifts and teach them how to live life.`
That the End the story........📕😊

Building your house
After reading different stories from @Pearlkel I feel inspired and decided to write mine too. So I came up with the story of an elderly carpenter who wants to retire from his work because he found it difficult to spend more time with his family. Feel free to go through it.
Here we go
One day an elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. Because he has been working for years and hardly sees his family spending time with them. He only managed to visit them, once in a blue moon. He also said to his co-worker, that when he retired he would miss the paycheck that the boss always gives to them every week. He said to them that they should have his share and share it between themselves. His co-workers were all happy about his retirement.
The contractor/boss was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. At first, he node his head and said no but after he think about it he went to the contractors and said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his body was working but his heart was not working. because all he has in his mind is to retire. After a few days of working, he was so fast that he managed to finish the building in a few days. He restored shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. it was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect that house. He see how he managed to finish the work in just a few days. He nodded his head and smiled at him. After a few hours of discussion then he handed the front door key 🔑 🚪 to the carpenter and said, This is your house..... I gifted it to you because of how dedicated you have been all this while.
The carpenter was shocked!😧😤 and said to himself silently, if I had known I would have built it with the best building material in the world.
What a shame if he had known he was the owner of the house he was building, he would have done it all so differently.
*****Conclusion*****
*So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built if we could do it over, we would do it much differently.*
*But you cannot do it back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer to nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project. " Your attitude, and the choices you make today, help build the "house" 🏠 you live tomorrow. Therefore, Build it wisely*.
***May God bless you all for reading👏🏼and also my gratitude to everyone who encourages me in my first article. Thanks for the advice and instructions may God bless you all abundantly in every area of your life.***

Patience and Contentment
This is my first article on this platform after some days of registration. it actually due to overwork these days. but anyway good I have something to write.
Today I will be writing on patience and Contentment. Am sure everyone reading understands the meaning. But let me define it to you in a layman language Contentment is the act of being able to satisfy with what you have. While Patience is the ability to wait for the right moment or go through a tough time without being angry or annoyed. NB: I just defined it according to my understanding you can get a better definition somewhere else. Thanks for your understanding 🤝.
There's an adage that says the patient dogs eat the fattest bone🦴. This adage most times does not refer to the dog, It's simply telling us to wait for the right time so we can have what belongs to us in a way we do not expect.
Waiting for the right moment in our life doesn't mean we are fools or we don't know what our purpose in life is. Nobody can have what is yours and you can never have what being to someone else. As long you working on yourself and hoping that your time will come.
People this day find it difficult to wait for the right time in their life. They try doing some shit that will later affect them in the future. Because their friend's dream started before them, they try going through some miles to find out the illegal ways to make more and also become rich. They forget we all were born different and destined in different ways. God has planned the perfect time for us. Even in a twins brother, the first brother's dream might take off before the second one, we need to be patient so has to achieve what has been written for us. Patience has its reward.
Contentment goes a long way to us a lot of people suffering from the disease of being able to satisfy with the little they have or the little progress they are making. They end up doing some dirty shit and try to own what they never work for it what does not being to them.
The ability to be satisfied with what you have is such a rare discipline that most people don't have these days many people find it difficult to understand that what is meant for you will be yours. People this day are overdoing things to get more than what they have. The world is crueler these days in the process of you not being satisfied with the little you have you might end up being set to trap. So use your head nobody has it all, everyone is just trying to be themselves. Because you see people wearing expensive clothes using the latest phone doesn't mean they are okay then you. You will never know that you're more blessed than some people until you try to find more about them, be happy with the little progress you don't keep your hope on things that don't belong to you. stay to yourself, be happy and manage the little you have and never stop working for more. Pray so that what is written for you will come to pass.
Being unable to be content will have you doing desperate shit like claiming to own the stuff that ain't yours, you don't need.
That shit is counterproductive to progress because you end up putting so much energy into the wrong places when you should be channeling that energy into how to be better yourself and your progress. You end up trying to do some illegal shit and start living fine for some years but you will never last with it because you are never okay with what you have and you get it illegally.
CONCLUSION
The best gift you can give to yourself is to be patient and wait for the right time. Don't be too fast and don't be too slow. Don't be tempted by what people do and what they have as long as you doing it right you will have yours. A slow process is better than none. Patience has its reward.
If it is written to be yours you will eventually have it. No one has it all be satisfied with what you have. no matter how big or small it is Once you're okay with what you have you will be living fine and happy with the little you have. Contentment/Patience is the key bro/sis🔑
Like I said earlier this is my first article on this beautiful platform. Thanks for you taking your precious time going through my poor writing. You never know the meaning of your upvote and comment on my article, it will boost the system in me and give me the energy to write more and more. Thanks for the upvote and comments in advance.
