HOW MY LAXITY COST ME
Recall how we used to repeat classes after failing certain subjects back at school?
Life is like that and I’ll explain.
Months ago, I was eating at my office desk when accidentally, my glass of water poured on my laptop.

Instantly, I cleaned it up, shut it down, allowing it dry before using it later on.
Days later, my keyboard started malfunctioning. It had gotten sppilt and now needed replacement.
My ignorance had cost me! I had no choice but to buy a new one for #12,000.
Time passed and I forgot the lesson and returned to my old ways of eating while working.
Then one day, a soft drink spilt on my laptop and this time, I screamed knowing the consequences.
I prayed nothing would happen. Days later, the keyboard quit on me again.
I was so upset and sadly, the keyboard now sold for #15,000 and I had to buy it.
This time, it was my laxity that cost me. Now, no one needs to remind me to take precautions.
Anytime I want to eat during work, I either remove my laptop completely or leave the desk to eat elsewhere.
Wondering why you keep facing the same problems; the same relationship crisis; the same kind of financial challenges?
It’s simple! You are yet to learn your lesson so life is making you repeat the classes.
It’s the same way you get carryovers at the University.
Such is life! We learn our greatest lessons through mistakes but when we ignore the lessons, the lesson will keep repeating itself until it is learned.
Know this: Life will first teach the lesson to you in the size of a pebble. If you ignore it, life will send you a brick; if you ignore the brick, it will send a brick wall.
And if you overlook this again, it will then send you a demolition truck.
