The place of the & #39;3rd eye& #39; in every undertakings SHOULD NOT be deemphasized! There are times we feel like we know everything just because of the level of exposure we& #39;ve had over the years on different levels, & as such assume this state of & #39;omni-knowest& #39;, but hey! Be careful!
There are times when we know so many things, but fail to use them when the time comes for us to prove out mettle over these things!

I was to be Guarantor to someone quite close to me on a job I equally linked him up with. A major part of the conditions for the Guarantor was that he/she had to be a Member of Staff of the Firm I currently work with, because...
Both companies are affiliated; something close to what could be referred to as & #39;sister companies& #39;. I understood the demands of being a Guarantor, just as I knew the downsides involved if one go on to & #39;Guarantee& #39; an untrusted person. The sob story abounds.
But seeing that he& #39;s someone I& #39;ve known for up to a year, attends same church with me and really is of a goodly disposition, I enjoined him to bring the form to my house at a specific time I was sure I& #39;d be home. Reaching home that night, I was shocked to meet him already sitted!
Dude was home hours before my arrival, and seeing that alone gave me heads up that he was really desperate for the job! Without much ado, I got inside, kept my handbag and contrary to my initial plan or bathing immediately I got home before his arrival just so I could be relaxed
(and be taken & #39;kiarof& #39; in MercyLambo& #39;s voice), I swung into action! This Dude had been home before I got back, and really, there was no need wasting his time any further! I got back to the living room, asked that he gave me the form, and then went back inside my room to fill it!
Now to the crux of the gist!
Truth is this: I already made up my mind to come through for this Guy, and as such was just going to go ahead and fill the form, as well as return same with a photocopy of my official ID card regardless, but that wasn& #39;t until my & #39;James Bond& #39; mummy...

Showed up! "What are you trying to do?" she swiftly asked me as her manner is anyway! My mum is the original epitome of the mother hen; very protective! I& #39;ll never know! Lol. I just knew her coming was going to do one of 2 things! Serve as the 3rd eye in the scheme of things,
Or make me see reasons why I should go ahead. She& #39;s really amazing, it& #39;s just that we are usually in a hurry to want to get into trouble as we often times think we are all grown already, and can handle our sh**s, but time has proven her right (and us her Kids, wrong) per timehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Nichts sehen-Affe" aria-label="Emoji: Nichts sehen-Affe">.
I was again in a hurry to make hasty decisions without duly carrying her along just because I felt I could, and considered any input from her as a sheer waste of my time. I needed to rest after a long day so! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen"> Anyways... "I want to fill this Guarantor& #39;s form for & #39;XYZ& #39;", I said.
In all sincerity, I felt she was bugging me with her questions as I was in a hurry to get done with him! She sat down and asked me a very simple question - "Have you read the conditions attached to this?"
Fam! It was at that point that it dawned on me! I hadn& #39;t even studied it!!u
Fam! It was at that point that it dawned on me! I hadn& #39;t even studied it!!u
You should see the look of embarrassment on my face at her question. "Er... Well. I& #39;m resolute about helping him so, I didn& #39;t bother" came my response to her query! Seeing she already took a seat beside me full time, I was left with no choice than to calm down & study the form& #39;s
Content. My earlier assumption on the requirement was just that part where I& #39;d be made to avail him, should anything go haywire, but how wrong I was! Fam, a part of the requirements made it clear that I should agree to making payments for any damages caused by him to the tune of
2,000,000.00 Naira. On seeing that part, my eyes automatically enlarged in size! I looked up at my mum, and read out the condition to her. She simply simply said that she knew it would come to that, and that was why she needed me to see clearly first before guaranteeing him!
I asked her how she was able to know that there might be matters arising on the form, she said - "Remember that it was you who gave me the updates on Cynthia M& #39;s story, and how she had signed some agreements with her defunct Label Executive, & how we all resolved to be careful!?"
Immediately she said that, I was humbled!All the initial gragra died down. I decided to call on the & #39;plug& #39; through whom the job came for certain info. Met with the Guy I was going to stand as Guarantor for, showed him the line the required 2M, and asked what he thought about it.
He said that I shouldn& #39;t be worried, that he& #39;d do everything within his powers to stay faithful on the job, given the privilege. I made him understand the implications his negative actions would have on my person, but yet, he convinced me that he& #39;d be of best behaviour.
Considering that I& #39;d known him for upto a year prior to this time, and that he& #39;s been observes to be a really cool headed man person, I decided to take the risk! I stood as his Guarantor and begged him to do his best! Why did I take the pain to do this thread? Well? It& #39;s simple!
There& #39;s usually a thin line between knowledge and wisdom (which by the way is the right application of knowledge). Many of us know many things. As a matter of fact, we know the many right things to do, but when it comes to the application of these things, we fail woefully!
This is the reason you need a 3rd ÂŁye (or 4th if you wish)! There are going to be times when your judgment would be clouded by emotions and empathy, to the point that you start acting irrationally. It& #39;s at this time that your & #39;4th eye& #39; become the most important to you!
Don& #39;t take that decision alone! Try the much you can to seek the opinions of other people around you, especially for those of you privileged enough to have Peeps with very functional and thinking brains around you. Don& #39;t say I didn& #39;t do anything for you in this 2020 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Winking face with tongue" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face with tongue">.
And by way of a conclusion, let me even ask this question. Have you reached a resolve to involve a genuine & #39;3rd eye& #39; in your business? If & #39;no& #39;, then you should start today! They tend to see the subtle details better than what you& #39;d have seen ordinarily! Don& #39;t underrate them!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŻ" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol">
