SEC-S18W6/Shining with your own light

---

---

Do you feel that there are opportunities or occasions where you think your brightness deserves to stand out more than that of others?

Everyone was created in different ways, everyone has their own special duties or opportunity but most times imperfections do make humans compare themselves with others and always wish they are better than others. But is it the right thing to do?

I don't think that it is right. Personally, I always wish others to do better than me and I try to give clues on how to do so.

When I was young and still in school I usually stand out in my class, I scored high till I finished my high school. During my years in pharmacy school, I usually pass all my courses as a matter of fact, I graduated as a best student. My light has always been shining and even with that, I usually go to reading along with my friends, they were my reading partners. We read together we practise together for exams because I always want everyone to shine along with me.

Knowing how brilliant you are, would you be able to turn off your light a little to give someone else the opportunity to shine at an appropriate time? How and why would you do it?

This is exactly what I'm talking about, I like giving others opportunity to shine.

Although majority like a me first lifestyle, I don't like it, I give others the opportunity to display their talents and showcase their skills, even though they don't have all what it takes, I do help or support them to do so.

Let me give you an example.

At my work place, I do give my colleagues clue on how to make them work effectively with others without having issues. How they will carry out documentation without mistakes and still cover up their work area within a given period of time. This helps us to achieve our goals together as a team.

During the monthly report, I stand out for my younger colleague to present our report for the month, she did it very well, and was awarded for a good job. I was happy she was also noticed in the facility, she also appreciated me for coaching her.

The Hawaiian squid does not shine on its own, it needs the help of others to achieve this. In your case, have there been people who have helped you shine or grow?

Hawaiian squid 🐙 is a beautiful creature that has a beautiful light produce by the bacteria surrounding it. What amaze me is that they were not born with the light but subsequently they grow to have those bacteria that helps them in glowing while hiding away from predators. Does it come by chance No, it has a creator.

Therefore, I also have someone and ofcourse people that help me shine so bright like a diamond 💎 I have a creator which has help me to shine. My siblings, my parents, my husband and some genuine friends of mine have been so supportive to help me grow.

Fireflies emit light to attract a partner, but with your qualities and virtues did you manage to have the desired partner or do you continue to emit light to find him or her?

Fireflies are lovely creatures with noisy sound and light to attract partners. I know I'm a virtuous woman, adorable in beauty and character, my shining light of beauty attracted a partner already. I have my desired partner who loves me for who I am, he is supportive, he is caring.

Even though I have a partner I never let my light grow dim. Maintaining the joy we share together needs so much on my part for us to be stronger together everyday.

I will like to invite @kidi40 @abijacob and @lovinah to take part in this contest
