I was eight years old when my father started taking me into the desert to visit one of the elders of the manasir tribe, named Humaid Amhi, to learn the art of hunting.

My father used to leave me with Humaid for days. I learned from him how to hunt with falcons and dogs, and he taught me the movement, habits, and many camouflages of animals. He taught me how a predator hunts and how the weak are beaten down.

At night when it's time for bed and after everyone has slept off, I used to wake up multiple times in the middle of the night to small Scorpion stings. I would wake up in pain, severe pain. Mr Humaid would take me close to the fire and put ash on the wound to reduce and absorb the poison.

Can you imagine being woken up three or four times a night to such agonizing pain? Surprisingly enough, I was the only one to be stung by Scorpions! Yes, the only one.

What have I done wrong to deserve the heinous sting of Scorpions?

As time went on, I found out there were two reasons for this. The first was my fault: I didn't listen to the Bedu's advice to check my bed before sleeping in the desert.

The second was that Mr Humaid used to collect those Scorpions and deliberately put about ten or twelve young Scorpions in my bed.

His reasons?

He wanted to build my immunity against deadly Scorpio stings.

Later on, I get to realize his lessons, he was right; to this day, I'm still immune to Scorpion venom.

Only then do I get to realize that, “NOT ALL THAT HURTS YOU IS EVIL. Sometimes pain teaches us and protects us."

   There was this poor man who wrote a book at the age of 40 and decided to launch it on his Birthday.

He had no money to fund the launching and so, he decided to seek help from a millionaire in his community.

He made a visit to the Millionaires home and after they exchanged pleasantries, he told his host what brought him.

The Millionaire told him to take out a piece of paper and pen. 

He said, " I will give you a test. If you pass it, I will give you the money you need and if you fail, I will still give you the money"

He then told him to write down the names of 10 people who could give him 10k each for his book during the launch.

Surprisingly, the man could not write even 3 names.

Now, take a glass of water and let me tell you something..

It is not enough to have talent and skills. You must understand the power of building valuable relationship.It was a wise man that said, your network is directly proportional to your net worth.

 Relationship is a currency. Relationship is a stream of income. Everything in this life actually reproduces on the basis of relationship.

See eh, Who likes you in this life matters .

 Men are lifted through men. Many of us are talented but we lack a cup bearer to tell the King that there is a Joseph that can interpret dreams.

 Who you know matters a lot in this life. Don't say it doesn't matter. It does.

There are heights and opportunities you will never attain if you don't understand the power of Keeping Valuable Relationships .

When they say, turn and greet your neighbour in church,/ mosque at times, you don't even know who you are talking to . 

That might be the CEO of a company. But sometimes, we despise people based on their outward looks and judge them wrongly.

That person you sit with in class, or the colleagues at work that you look down on, may be the ones that will lead you to your destiny helper because you have no idea who they know.

Sometimes, it takes just a recommendation to change your story.

 Don't despise men in Life.You will need them one day.

Sometimes those who crown Kings don't look like kings and may never become kings but they can help you wear the crown.

Again

Shut the door of relationship gently you may need to use it tommorow

Enjoy a Blessed life full of God's favour !

Please stay Safe to save others!🙏🙏🙏🙏
