Would you have arrested him if it was you?

She narrated how the young man who is now a very popular musician used to be while they were in school. According to her, he was so poor and well malnourished. He wore almost the same shirt everyday and always walked to school. Sometimes  they sympathized with his state and funded his meals. Today he is a household name in the music industry, with change of clothes, fleet of fast cars (Ferrari, Bugatti, etc.), and can afford any meal he pleases to have. The lady on the other hand isn't lacking, she has what she needs to keep up; but she doesn't have all to afford certain luxuries. What to learn: Nothing lasts forever - not good, not bad. The fact that you are down today doesn't mean you won't get up. And just because you are up doesn't mean someone can't get higher than you. Wherever you find yourself, you just have to possess the right attitude. At a low estate have the attitude of a winner, at a high estate have the attitude of a helper.

"When I don get them plenty like that, I no dey too value them. I fit keep them but them no mean anything." The young man spoke about his dealings with ladies. Many guys are like him; fine, charming, fresh, have the right words, very polished with muscles and packs in the right proportion. When they approach a lady, she just melts before them. They deceive her with sweet words and her already defenseless self is subdued. They have their way with her and leave her with a broken heart. This is not true for all ladies however, the ones that know their value and worth will not be taken cheaply. A lady who knows what she carries would not be carried away by deceptive words and body shape. She would consider what she has and what the guy is offering. Her value determines the choices she makes. Lady, what is your value?
