There were times I were not like i am now, to look afar, back into the past, l can see that a lot of things have changed ln my life, and some are for good, speaking of change in me, lt ls not obvious that this happened, l think age ls a determinant of lt as well.
l used to find a set of things as something's i would not like to do, but as l am right now, l can see that l am adjusting to like those things and instead of me having the thought that l do not need them, l am beginning to push myself towards that direction so that I survive.
Few days ago, In where l stay, one of the guy who also stay in the compound came to me, he talked to me about his work, that he is an electrician and he ls on a duty he is yet to finish, so he needs someone who will go to the site with him and assist him while he will be at the top of the building doing wiring.
He told me he is going to pay an amount which will be very okay if l go with him, but that wasn't the case, the issues was that, the building he was working on was a three storey building, and l have this fear of height somehow and l would not want to even try to climbed things that are high talkless of the one he just mentioned to me.
But I was feeling for him when he told me that he has to finish the work because the people who has lt are complaining about his
delayed, l asked him if he doesn't have apprentice that are learning the work under him, he said he has not, and the people he wanted to go and complete the wiring with are somehow engage with others tasks at the moment.
Secondly, I needed the fund he wants to pay, so l forget about fear of height and l accept the tasks, the place was close, l think lt wasn't up to six minutes we got there, and he climbed the up of the building, i thoughts he will be going to the top with everything he needed, not knowing l will be the one that ls going to follow him to the upper side of the building with those wires and cables.
Wow, he told me to follow him to the upper side of the building, i almost terminate the deal we had from there, but when I remember what is going to be my pay at the end of the day It was while I succumb and chain up my mind to be a man.
l followed him up and few hours later, l was free at the upper side of the building, i slide down many times to picked what he wants me to bring to him, I am not an electrician but with that few hours of seeing how he connect those wires, l think I grabbed a thing from lt.
After the work, he paid me and I now told him that I do not like height that much, he relate to me that he doesn't like it as well, but as a man you must work, get paid, and used the money to catered for yourself and your people.
l find thoughtful words in his speech, as he explains that a person do not have a sit idle and expect a daily bread.
