The Virtue I can't afford to loose ||| LOH Contest #97

Glad to be here, I celebrate all the amazing ladies in the LOH community, for making life really easy and effective, thanks to the LOH admin for this week LOH contest #97, I will be signing in for the week contest as my entry for the week contest.
there are so many things that i have so valued in live and as a result i want to give my entry on the second Question, "What's the most useful thing you own?".

i will have so much to talk about the topic, but i will for the sake of this post consider just one of it,

"Character"

Amongst many thing that i truly know that i own is character, and as far as life is concerned, it is one of the most important virtue a lady or any human, should own, labour for and develop.

When ever character is being talked about, You must understand that is a two way thing, we have the Good side and also the bad side, character when developed on the positive end affords the owner unlimited benefits. as well as the negative end.
A good character like i said is the foundation, strength giver or the backbone of an attractive personality, when there is a good character, other good virtues are attracted, people also will always want to associate with a person of Good character.

When you make mention of character, so much are involved, honesty at home and at work, loyalty, commitment towards goal and purpose.

Character can also be seen as someone that is morally or ethically sound, there is every tendency that people around you will trust and rely on you.

You may ask me, how i know that i have, character?, The Holy book, the bible, Says that by their fruit, the tree shall be known, I have have seen and as well benefitted from developing and building a good or positive character.

The truth be told, there are gates that people with bad characters can not access, but with a good character you can gain access to many privileges and opportunities that others may never have.

I will round up my write up with this true life story that my own mommy told me while growing up as a young girl, it happened in our locality, but sounds like the one i also read on a novel, "The lion and the jewel". The story went that A young man from our community who was privileged to live overseas studying, wanted to marry and he decided to return home and get a wife for himself, The dad was so happy, he told the son that he has his blessings, and that he will be expecting him.
two weeks letter the young man showed up, while he was in the cap heading home, he saw a beautiful damsel, fair to behold, he stopped by to say hi, and as the story went, he ask her name and also told her, who's son he was, so the lady was excited, seeing the young man. the young man landed home from there, and as soon as he landed home the father, made a family party for him, Its was a good time for merriment and refreshment of the mind.

Two days letter, the father reminded him of the reason why he came home, He told his father that he saw a damsel on his way to the house, so the Dad ask him to invite Her for dinner, He did and the damsel came but as soon as She sat on the table, memories replayed in the head and she started crying, reason was she could recognized the young mans father.

I ask my mom, why she cried and mommy said that in just three months down the line, the lady in question had an issue that resulted in an outburst with a fellow lady in the community, so the young man father showed p as an elder in the community, but as soon as he tried intervening, He received from the lady, in insult of His life, so the man said to himself, My child can never marry this kind of a lady, even in his dead.

Long story made short, her display of a negative character, to the old man, robbed the lady of an amazing marriage opportunity, and as we speak the lady is getting old without a husband.
just yesterday, someone looked at me and said thanks for being a sources of encouragement to us, may God bless you, I tried to find out only to know that it was my reaction or treatment to a client, has added value to the company.

In conclusion, Life is amazing, life a delicious meal, but the tools or cutleries you will use to engage the meal will make you enjoy the meal, so also one of the virtue in life that i can not afford to loose, Character is everything, the day you loose character, you have lost everything. I will labour to keep it as long as i live. Thanks to the LOH community for allowing me share my experience, I will love to invite @enwongoabasi and @kaaforlizzy42 to join in the LOH community and as well share in the contest. .
