Sometimes last year, I ventured into farming, well after the melons I ventured into planting hohos then came the first harvest. The first harvest didnt have many to pick but I can confirm to you that the size was big enough. Those that will be sold to you at 20 bob per piece. So anyway it was decided that we better off selling for ourselves rather than selling from the garden. And there came the drama and lesson for today.
My cousins and I decided to do a boot sale of hohos. We were five of us and each had a role to play. See one of my cousin's was shy and couldn't announce the price to the public. He chose to stay in the car but he was the only one among us who has mastered the car well and ensured we moved where the market was. There were two who were super active and had made fun and got most sales; they actually took a bunches to sell away from us. Next to the car my other cousin ensured i had security and also made few attempts to call the customers when i challenged him. I have to say his presence gave me courage to call the customers from far to come buy. At the end of the day we sold all the produce we had and each went to home feeling proud. Thinking about that gave me the lesson for the day today.
See friends we all have our strengths, while some are able to vocally express themselves, others can't. In a family for example don't expect that one child will have the same abilities as the other. In a relationship for example don't expect your past boy or girl friend will have the same abilities as your current. Recognising this fact will enable us embrace each other and achieve a common goal. When we set each other free to do what we are good at, its when we are most likely to get the best results.
P.s I was really proud of my cousins and love them to bits.
