Sitting by the road side, waiting for my client to come. I looked at the hustle and bustle people are making around, the moving cars and everything, it was amazing. But while sitting, I observed little children that were passing by, among the train of hustler.
I noticed two of them. One was a nail cleaner. I saw the neat work he did by cleaning intelligently the nails of his client. With his client seated and relaxed, allowing the boy to cut his nails and make them clean.
After he was done, I noticed that his client brought out hundred naira and told the boy to bring change. The boy then said he doesn't have change, so his client brought out thirty naira, instead of fifty naira he was supposed to pay.
The boy didn't collect the money, instead, he just stood there and said he can't collect thirty naira. And then I wandered in me why can't his client just leave the whole hundred naira for him. This little boy hustling just to survive.
So later, the boy decided to look for a way to change the money into lower denomination of the currency. After he succeeded in finding a change, of fifty naira and gave his client his money, it then occurred to me that his client was also an hustler, he was a phone part seller (accessories). Oh! It then dawned on me that an hustler was also serving an hustler.
This article wasn't just written to tell you story, but to let you know that you should be thankful for WHAT YOU'VE GOT. You might not be where you want to, but you are living fine than those on the street, you have clothes to wear, and some of us even have cars. So think deep and be grateful for what you've got..
Grateful heart
