SOMETHING BORROWED

Recently on a weekend armed with a one thousand shilling note I went hunting for airtime. hat all the money I had and no I was not out to harass anybody just to get change. What happened thereafter is something I thing everyone should borrow. There were two shops selling airtime. I not being out inconvenience anyone I enquired first if they would get change for my money. In the first shop the lady quickly dismissed me without batting an eyelid. Judging from her reaction she had the change but she figured it being in the morning and I the first client I might make hr day terrible if she gave me the loose change she had. I moved swiftly to the next shop and what happened really impressed me. I asked the lady if she could get change for me and I was impressed by her reply. She was very elated she sold me airtime and gave me change remarking "you know even if I give it to you it will still come back".

In that instant I loved this lady's attitude. There she was without giving it much thought she new the money would come back to her. She did not think of it as an inconvenience. There is something she did for me, she managed to bag a loyal client and she made me look at things differently. I was amazed by her attitude and I silently wished that apart from airtime or any other service she gives other people may just pick a teeny tiny bit of attitude from her. Of course the positive attitude.

I often wonder if people realize how much they affect each other especially through attitude. It is your attitude that makes you gain something or lose it. It is your attitude that will take you a step forward or backwards. It is that attitude that may help you out of a certain 'situation'. Your attitude gives out some vibes about you and trust me your vibes can draw someone away or close to you. It is the very vibes that people will judge you with without necessarily knowing you. Human beings are strange and yes they will judge you without knowing you they will judge by looking at you and the vibes you send out.

In your own very little way try and adapt a little positive attitude. It does not change over night but haba na haba hujaza kibaba. Just start a pandemic and watch the ripple effect take place. Make it your duty to be positive and emit them positive emissions.
