GROWING UP AND CONTROL

in growth •  6 years ago  (edited)

Few days ago, a guy sat beside me in a certain betting shop.
He was chatting with a client from US on WhatsApp.
(I accidentally saw the phone number earlier on his phone's screen).
I don't look at other person's phone screen and prevent others to look at mine.

That one asked him the name of USA President.
He turned to me and said;
"Bros, abeg, what's the name of USA President?"

(My eyes glued to my phone).
I said; Donald Trump.
and I spelt it.

I couldn't laugh. I controlled it.
Laughing in such atmosphere will mean different thing to him.
What wanted to make me laugh was the client asking him the name of USA President.

What for?
For KYC/identity verification or what?

The guy cussed the client under his breath.
And I smiled.

One of the signs of GROWING UP is that you must be able to CONTROL yourself at any time.

Don't talk anyhow.
Don't laugh anyhow.
Don't eat anyhow.
Don't drink anyhow.
Don't dress anyhow.
Don't insult people anyhow.
Don't do things anyhow.

Control your mouth.
Control your body.
Control yourself.
Control your life.
Control your destiny.

"Growing old is mandatory.
GROWING UP is optional".
