Life is what whatever you plant is surely what you will reap even after many years of your exit. There is no escape route. Do good and enjoy goodiness all through
Do evil and you your children and indeed your generation will reap it all through. The reverse is alco the case.. I have a class teacher who taught me in my primary school. While other teachers believe in carrot and stick approach in enforcing discipline, he upheld the principle of dialogue and creating awareness on every manifested is behaviour in pupils. He is busy teaching us good acts expected in human life. One day l misbehaved in the school farm with a pupil who stool some pieces of yam meant for planting in the school farm.
The yams were brought to the school farm by us but some of us refuse to plant all. We took some back home. On our way we met a teacher who bulked at us to go back and plant them. As usual we all turn back to the school farm to plant the yams we took . He supervise the planting and further taught us how we can position the yam seed for effective growth. Having learn the new skill of planting yams we return back to our individual heaps and reposition the yam seeds we earlier planted.By the time the yams sprout
Out we saw our heaps fully covered by yam leaves. We now set banana rope to train the plants to climb the rope to the trees
In short what came out of our heaps was the best that attached the attention of the school authority
We had very big yams from each heap and we are awarded the best farmer of the year. What a joy for us. Our success should be traced to the gentle teacher who never intimidate us with cans but taught us how to position the yam set. That was a big lesson for us which we learn . There after we could not see this teacher any more as he was transfered from one school to another. Some years thereafter after our graduation from University we met one of the son of the teacher. He introduced himself . In curiosity l recall that surname and question him further if he is the son of the man he called. He affirmed yes and tried to describe his father. In short he passed all the questions put forward to him. I then enquiry what is he looking for. He said he came to attend interview for a an advertised vacancy in my organization. The issues he want to address was within my purview. I told the young boy he should not be worried as l will assist him. I never allowed him to go through the rigour of the interview but submitted his name straight away as qualified candidate for that position. He was shock and later visited me to thank me. I told him his father was one of those who build my life up. Do you see him reaping the reward of his late fathers effort that he never knew about. . What is the essence of this story. Always do good as you don’t know where your goodiness will have a multiplier effect. Do good at all times to humanity. Your reward days is fast approaching. To be good has no other adjective to it than being good.
