What
definition will you give to the word "bad" if you have been asked to?
The very first impression you will give, will come from your face which
will show an expression that you are coming to talk about something
unacceptable. Google search defines "bad" as unpleasant, unwelcome,
imperfect etc. which suites the word but I am here to prompt you about
the beautiful side of the word "bad".
When a bad
thing happens, it gives you the sense to be vigilant in your next
decision making. For instance, let's say you had a break up with a
beloved which got you so hurt and so broken. Don't you think next time
you will be careful with whom you give your love to? Or better still
take your time before entering into a relationship. The road that nearly
led to your death won't be the road you will wish to use again or take
alone. Sleeping in a stagnant water surrounding which caused you malaria
will move you to tidy up the area or change your location to a more
hygienic environment. Therefore, at the end of the day, you have derived
some good from bad.
The great Williams
Shakespeare once said: "To do a great right do a little wrong." In that
sense, before you can be successful with whatever you want to achieve,
you would have done it wrong.
Then it is convinced to say the inventor
of the light bulb had many wrongs until the hundred time when he
achieved this goal perfectly. If that is so, then it is known that the
bad, shapes our lives too. Although it is not accepted, sometimes it is
good to embrace it. There is a saying which goes, ones bitten twice shy.
Bad makes you wild and vigilant.
Supposedly,
Leslie was asked to pay his school fees at the bank and present a
banker’s draft to the school. Yet due to time, he decided to go and give
the cash to the accountant and it came out that, the accountant had
spent the money on him which got to Leslie's notice. Do you think he
will make such mistake of his life again? No! At the end of the day,
that bad occurrence has made him careful in his decision making.
Some
people still live in their bad past. You are becoming the perfect
somebody you want to become, because something bad happened and you made
a good out of it. All the time, people embrace good but bad too counts.
It is known that the president of the Republic of Ghana lost two times
until he attained his final victory. On His third time, he came better
than before because he might have sat down to analyze the things that
needed to be omitted and the ones that needed to be added. Those ideas
came as a result of the losses in his two elections. Don't wish to
encounter bad happenings, but just in case it happens, try to see the
beautiful side of it and embrace it.
I once read a story of a business
man who was traveling outside his country for a business appointment and
when he got to the airport, to his disappointment, he was delayed. He
was so furious and angry at the service agents because the appointment
was very important to him and had time on it. Later on, he was told he
had to wait for the next flight. The anger generated the more but what
else could he do? He just had to wait.
Few hours in his waiting time,
news reached the airport that, the flight he was supposed to take had
caught fire which was an engine failure, thereby losing many passengers.
So, as you can know for yourself, the bad thing that happened was, he
was delayed and the good thing that came from it was that, his life was
saved. Embrace bad, because it sometimes adds meaning to your life.
Let
me add a little of my story to it. I had wanted to continue my
education in the same year I graduated but something bad came up which I
had to wait on the next year which happens to be the year we are in. It
was a blow to me. I just couldn't accept it but in my delay, I began to
write the articles you have been reading. Therefore, the possibility
that I wouldn't have discovered myself as a writer and a motivator would
have been high if the bad thing that happened in the year I graduated
had not occurred. Or it would have taken me quite long to discover this
potential in me. So, you see I made some good from bad. Embrace your bad
experience.
We can never wish to see good at all times in our life.
Since the good has an opposite side, definitely it will also display
what it contains. Just as the sun comes in the day and moon and stars
come in the night, you just have to see the beautiful side of it all.
Every Great man or woman you have heard of, has had bad experiences in
his/her life. But they seeing the beautiful side of it brought about
their greatness. Bad is also in to mould you and make you better. Embrace it.
This is what I bring to you on this very day. In every bad
experience or happenings, learn how to see the beautiful side of it.
"Bill Gate" would have never become father of Microsoft if he had not
dropped out of school. Maybe or maybe not. You wouldn't have been
privileged to enjoy KFC if "Colonel Harland Sanders had not be rejected
from the military camp. Embrace bad and also be determined to make good
from bad.
The beauty that Great Martin Luther saw in difficult times is
what I leave with you. "We have got some difficult days ahead, but it
really doesn't matter with me now because I have been to the mountain
top. I have looked over and I have seen the promised land. I may not get
there with you. But I want you to know today that we as a people will
get to the promised land."
Always make good from bad!
