A friend asked me to deliver something to someone. When I met the fellow, he was rather aloof and unfriendly. He took the package from me, almost without looking at me. On one or two previous occasions, he had exuded similar attitude when we had conversed via telephone. He seems more sullen than sociable to me. When such a fellow is passed over during promotions and other benefits at work, he’d say some demons are after him. ‘Mbanu!’ It’s his terrible attitude towards people that is his problem. Love people, treat them well, and you’ll climb faster and higher in life, and career.
A big man in an organization once told me how someone missed a managerial position even though he had wanted to give it to the person. During the interview, the person was rather too casual with the interviewers, unlike the other person, who was very professional and courteous. The other fellow lost that opportunity because of her attitude, even though the boss had been willing to give her the job. Your ATTITUDE will cost you much more than you can imagine, except you begin to ‘grow’ GOOD ATTITUDE: Perspective and Perception of life, people, work and places.
A spouse that can’t differentiate between the BOARDROOM and the bedroom, and relate accordingly with the husband/wife, will soon experience serious trouble. I pity women who don’t RESPECTFULLY ‘carry’ their husbands in public, even if he’s younger than you, and coos in your arms like a small boy in the bedroom at night. Every man, saint or sinner, wants to be RESPECTED and HONORED, especially in public. Same for women, but the husbands (above unmarried men), MORE! Let the women (wives actually) learn from this, especially our sisters, who seem, nowadays, to be suffering the fate of the ‘foolish women – Job 2:10’ vis-a-vis divorces, separations, et al. A goodly ATTITUDE, mixed with a lot of GRATITUDE, will take you/anyone to limitless ALTITUDE. It is well o!
Selah!
NB: I have noticed (at work, in the church, and everywhere else) that the ladies who are poor at simple courtesies like greeting, smiling, making respectful eye contacts, stopping to inquire about other’s well-being, are usually late in getting married, if they ever find anyone to marry them in a thousand lifetimes. A Word is ENOUGH for the Wise!
Okay o!
