Light at the end of a Dark Tunnel

_{image made in canvas}

This my friend has been working here her the past seven years, omo, ist not easy to serve someone for 7 good years, but he did, he endured, sometimes sleeping in the shop, he couldn't afford even an android phone, he humbled himself till after his service. After serving for 7 years, his boss settle him and he set up his own business immediately, he do whatever, he can now afford a smart phone, he can afford buying good clothes fie him himself. I want to present you my friend then and now.

Remember before he couldn't be able to get this level, he had suffered a lot, serving someone for a good 7 years. That highlights is the fact about this popular word: There's light at the end of the dark tunnel. First of all, I'll like to invite @alli001, @kidi40, @steemdoctor1 and @missyleo to participate in the wonderful contest.

From my own perspective, that word means that even if an going through a difficult time in life I should be rest assured that there's always hope and a brighter future waiting for me in the other side, which is the end of the tunnel. The tunnel is exactly like when someone is facing challenges or hardship in life, but if the person is being positive and hard-working, he'll be able to overcome the challenges which is describes as the light at the end of the tunnel.

I used my friend as an example, there was a hardship back home, I mean, a tough one, so he had to find a way to survive, he agreed to move to Lagos when there was an opportunity to him and he serve for complete 7 years. You know how serving someone is, like a slave, you have to be humble, he went through the dark tunnel, and after many years of hardwork and commitment, he's finally free, that is, seeing the lights at the end of the tunnel after going through a lot. Imagine working for without a salary for a complete 7 years.

He's now the boss of his own, a business owner, a phone owner, Mr handsome in town. This example show us how good is it to overcome anything that stands out way because there's always a better future ahead us(the light).

Omo, when it comes to problems, it's stage by stage. I mentioned my friend who served for about 7 years, I had that similar experience. Working with a strict person, you only worked according to her likes. Currently, something happened which I noticed and I called the attention of my boss. I realize that some of the can drinks was leaking.

Neither do I know that am actually getting myself into trouble. 6 packs of can sprite got spoiled by leaking and all the blame was put on me. Imagine paying for something you don't use or know about. one can is N8000 and 6 of it is N48,000. I was asked to provide the money for it, a lot of pressure. This are of the thing that happened when you served someone, so when I talked about that my friend it wasn't an easy task. How can you pay for something that got leaking on it own inside the shop, at the same time you're not collecting salary? so frustrating, very bad experience.

That's actually the hope, what keep us going. I believe that there will be light at the end of the tunnel in my life because serving someone is temporary. After serving I will have the opportunity to decide how I want to live my life.

Just like that my friend, he went through a lot but after all those stress, he finally got to a stable place, being himself, and happy to live a satisfying life.

Am not saying that what works for him will work for me. But I know that after my service, I can be able to life a satisfying life I always wishes to live. A life of peace of mind far better than this.

In conclusion, that metaphor have an very important message to pass t all of us. There's always hope ahead, even though the hardship and life challenges try to bring us down, let not forget that there's a reassurance that there's a light at the end of the dark tunnel.
