Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 136: If I Could Change One Thing
Assalam-o-Aliakum Everyone.
So let's start.🍀
🍀.What is that one thing you wish you could change in your past?
The entire dissolution of your present is based on your past and you create your past yourself. Most of the time, we try to keep things good, but it never happens. When I talk about my past , I always feel a sense of regret in one thing: when I stopped working outside (as a nurse) without thinking about myself and agree with my husband because he said that we belong to society where if womens work,peoples used to say O God her husband must be not fullfil his responsibility and burden to women. And it is said that a man is living on her earnings, and I am talking about 20 years ago,And if we look at today's era, there has been a lot of development. Now, women work equally with men. When he said this, I didn't want anyone to point fingers at my husband, so I stopped working and be a housewife.
🍀.Why do you wish you could change it? What went wrong?
Somewhere, even when these things were said to me, I was not able to accept them, but to save my married life or my home, I felt the only reason to accept them with my husband, because tomorrow if I did any kind of negligence with the children,So I will be held responsible because you were told that you have a home and children to raise.One day, my husband suddenly fell very ill and after that, he left this world and the responsibility of the children fell on me. Now you can imagine how difficult life could have been for a woman who had stopped working years ago. Well, my children started earning because I was not used to working and I was not able to work. Wherever I tried, I always came back. I had lost the habit of working and I used to stay sick every time i over do.
🍀.What lesson did you learn from that experience?
Just as every mistake in life teaches you a new lesson, I am also learning from this that it is very important to be independent in order to take care of myself and my childs.Thinking that our life is going very well right now,So this does not mean that life will always be good, as everyone knows that life and death are in the hands of God. God can give life to whomever He wants. Death can happen whenever He wants. So we should be prepared for the fact that tomorrow, if the person with us is no longer in this world who is earning, then we should keep it within ourselves so that he himself earns. By then it would have been too late and by then perhaps that mountain of sorrows and lack of money would have fallen on me.
🍀.How has that moment shaped the person you are today?
Then I guessed that it was too late, but it was not so late that no work could be done because I had guessed that I could no longer work outside because i am in age now, i was too old to do the work as labour.And the work done outside is quite labor-intensive and it is not easy for me because I am a patient of diabetes and blood pressure due to which I could not do this work, so I started writing articles on the steemit platform. In the beginning, the earnings are very low, but with the rest, your earnings become very good, but you can support your children or your family better if you do it with hard work and dedication.
