ANGER
Everything seems dark and my world just got crumbled like the quake. I never believed it’s going to lead and ends here, it all got paused like a remote control. The world have been destroyed of unscrupulous attitudes in a twinkle of an eye. See what my emotions caused me, oh my Creator, this shouldn’t have been me, why at the last verge of my success, have come a long way to end it in such a disastrous manner oh My God. After all the waits and hurdles, see what my ANGER caused me. A graduate of a prestigious and one of the best institution in Nigeria, OBAFEMI AWOLOWO University, Ile-Ife. I studied Mass communication and Graduated as a First Class student of the department being one of the best graduating students in my set. I had many qualities and qualification but I lacked a special one that cost me my life dream today and I implore you to follow me on my life story on HOW I CRUMBLED MY WORLD WITH MY VERY OWN HANDS. I grew up in the city of Lagos. I had most of my education programme in Lagos state but went further in the city of Ife to go for my Bachelor's Degree in the University of OBAFEMI AWOLOWO. It has been my Life Goal and Dream to be an On- Air- Personality (OAP) and that triggered my ambition of studying mass communication because I love talking and have always wanted to help the voiceless and less privilege with any opportunity and way I could, but the only flaw have always been monitored on was my anger, I had this problem of getting angry in a disastrous manner not caring of the result. My Anger has really got me into several trouble which later ended me into the most painful and unforgettable moment. After Long search and stressful work seeking condition in the country, I got an unexpected mail from one of the organisations I sent my application letters to, I was happy and heeded to their call the next morning, I got there and was placed on an interview which came out successful, I was over joyed by the offer because I was offered a salary of 200 hundred thousand naira, a two bedroom flat and a car, I was instructed to start work the next day which happened to be my doomed day. On the 15th of September, I woke up early at the ring of my phone alarm, I went to take my bathe and observed my prayer with Joy and happiness in my heart, everything went well till I set out to my work place and I got there around 7:45am, fifteen minutes early, getting close to the office gate, a Benz car ran by me and splashed dirty water on my well ironed suit, that got me infuriated by my anger. I couldn’t wait to give the car owner a pleading ears, which I couldn’t hesitate to give him a resounding slap and pounced my fist on him which got the intervention of the passers-by to make me leave him, I got to the office three minutes late but I wasn’t queried because the manager wasn’t around before my arrival. Everything went fine till around noon when a board meeting was called by the Owner of the Company himself which I never got to meet the last time I came for my appointment, getting into the board Room, Lo and Behold the Owner of the car I got into a quarrel with in the Morning on my way to the Office, everything seems like a dream and felt like getting swallowed by the ground but the deed has been done, sweating profusely under the Air Conditioner in the room, I felt weak and my head seems heavy by the greatest shock of my life, everybody looked curious by the look exchanged by the duo and that tells a lot from the rage I saw in his eyes that very moment. The meeting got dismissed and I was summoned to his office by the secretary, I couldn’t stand his gaze because the deed had been done, after several pleads and unheard explanation, my deed could not but forced the man to have issued me an unexpected but deserving sack letter and that made me lost the job. This landed me in my father’s living room and that brought the worst realisation that I just lost my dream to ANGER. Since then, I have realized the shackles that was always behind my failure and my unreserved attitudes to life. If I had known, I would have find my way off anger and relinquish from it as it does not pay off.
