A story to learn from, read carefully

John And Jane Studied Accounting at the same University. They were Classmates and after Five years
of Studying hard, they both graduated.
After graduation, Fate took them through different paths of life.

👇
5 Years later, Jane after much frustration of securing a
job, ended up as a Secretary in a Building firm earning
50,000 Naira monthly.
Meanwhile, John, on the other hand, Couldn’t Secure a
Job and ended up a Taxi Driver, He makes At least
5,000 daily and if he works for only
20 days in a month,
He makes 100,000 Naira that month.
One Evening, Jane closed from work and was at the
bus stop waiting for a taxi when John Stopped, She
hopped in when she discovered the taxi was going her
way but little did she know it was John, all through the
journey, she was lost in her Phone.
She reached her bus Stop and after alighting, just when
she was about paying, she took a look at the driver and
their eyes met, wow! They were both happy.
“Is this you?” they both asked themselves
simultaneously as if they planned it.
Jane gave him money but John insisted she keeps it.
He was happy to see her and for old time’s sake, he
left the money for her even when she insisted that she
wanted to pay.
They both exchanged contact and left.
Well, Jane went home that night and was lost in
thought.
Not as if John was looking bad but John
driving a Taxi? She couldn’t wrap her head around it.
She Pitied him. Felt sorry for him. If John had allowed
her she would have paid him and beg him to keep the
change.
Little did she know that John has another Taxi running
for him,
He is a Landowner and he is planning on
developing it soon. But because he was driving a Taxi,
She felt Pity for him.
On the other hand, John felt sorry for himself too.
Before he slept that night, he remembered Jane, how
Neatly she dressed and Nice she Smells
, “She must be
earning over 300,000 Naira per month” he said to
himself. He felt Ashamed, He felt like a failure and he
felt she was way ahead of him financially and
otherwise.
Little did he know that, If Jane Removes her
Transportation fare and feeding money from her
monthly
Salary, it will take her at least 3 months to earn
what he earns monthly.
Sadly, this is some of our Reality, you measure your
progress and success with that of your friends,
Classmate, and Relatives even with the very limited
information you have about them.
You think
yours is worse because you look Dirtier, you think yours is worse because you are not on Cooperate wears, in an Ac office, you think yours is worse because the other person acts and looks Nicer. Stay Focused and Face your life. It’s not a competition. Stop Comparing things,
you don’t have the full picture.
Stop tapping into things that are flaunted which you don’t understand the reality of each. Yours may be
better. Be contented!
