The Lady Painter

 


THE  LADY PAINTER


A painter was needed at Thompson Nola street near Canada Villa, Lekki. Lagos. All effort to get a painter to quickly paint the enclosed hall proved abortive yet there wasn't time left for more search.

 This part of the job was delaying other artisans. Rather than allow the work to linger for another 5days, a young woman stepped in relentlessly in her effort to ensure the work was completed in due time. 

She was on board for supervision as she came in earlier with the project manager, Mr Richard but felt the time was of the essence. A few minutes later, the workers were stunned to see the young damsel who had earlier looked classy in her lovely expensive wig and makeup, did away with her 6 inches shoes to get the painting off the road, so the ceramics and sculptural design could commence.

In no time she was up and down the building and the job was done. The project manager was overwhelmed and had to request that she assist him in the next projects. Olola the painter is no doubt different from everyone of us who see different opportunities but consider it not our "thing or style" .“Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” Richard Branson

Instead of lamenting about the issue, Olola chose to change the narrative. The truth is, If you think you can, yes you are right and will achieve it base on your beliefs and if you think you can't, you are equally right. “Victory comes from finding opportunities in problems.” Sun Tzu.

Yet I assure that value only comes to you when you give out value. Hermann Hesse, a scholar of value and process opines, "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."


Thank you for your time on Olabusola' Review.

HOW TO TEACH A TODDLER HOW PARENTS EARN MONEY

Image
Children often feel bad when they approach us, as parents for something they want to buy and we tell them there is no money or we can't buy it now. To some of them: " Daddy don't just want to buy it " or " mummy is just being difficult ".  It forms a bad pattern when children get used to the culture of " there is no money", "No you can not have it", "We can not buy it now", "Stop wasting my money", "Monies are not plucked on trees", "do you think I steal money" and much more. Many children make a request because they know and believe it is Daddy and mummy's responsibility to provide everything and whenever this fails to happen, they feel less loved. It might be just best to enlighten them about how people earn money or income and how money circulates. When children are made to understand how salaries are being paid then they would be more considerate rather than being wasteful or un...

Apenuwa Temitope Daniel

  Apenuwa Temitope Daniel is a remarkable individual whose intelligence and determination make him stand out. He is not just ambitious but also a relentless goal-getter. I recall him once expressing his academic standard, saying he must not see a "C" in his results again. For him, even a "B" signifies failure because an "A" is his true grade. Our friendship deepened as we discovered both similarities and differences in our personalities and preferences. We shared the distinction of earning "A"s in Directing Practical Exams, not just once but repeatedly, confirming our shared dedication to excellence. However, our creative inclinations differed—Apenuwa leaned toward modern, foreign plays, while I had a deep affinity for local and traditional themes. This contrast enriched our perspectives and strengthened our bond. Fate brought us together in a memorable project group during our undergraduate years in 2006, alongside Faturoti Tayo, Latifat Suleima...
