I am glad to be back y'all
So the other day as i sat contemplating on what to do and how to go about Emeka's school fees. Bisola passed and greeted me. Mummy good afternoon.
"Eh my child, how are you?
She put her head down sheepishly and replied " Fine mummy".
I got interested in her and asked her to come sit with me. She replied politely, "please mummy, my uncle is waiting for his recharge card"
My dear, you can run along, when you are done, please come and sit with me. I said to her, waving.
When she was through she came back to sit with me.
We got talking and through out her head was bowed.
My daughter why do you always put your head down when i am talking to you?
She smiled so beautifully. "my uncle says you must not look your elder in the eye"
O my! i put my hand on my chest, with my mouth wide open.
My dear, you should be as bold as a lion not disrespectful. You should be confident in all you do. So putting your head down or not looking at me will not make you look confident do you know?
She kept quite still putting her head down.
My dear,i continued talking to her. After our talk, she smiled and thanked me looking at my face.
I was happy i could talk to her. and her confidence built over the years.
Confidence is key
