Build Your Circle
I am quite sure that we've all heard about the trending news of the week which isn't a new one or perhaps you are yet to hear it, then I will do the honour of telling us.
The trending news about a Nigeria Music artist by the name Davido who was shopping in Dubai on the day of his birthday puts up a video asking his friends to send him 1 million Naira if they love him.
I guess it was surprising to everyone that a millionaire of that magnitude was asking for such but the surprising thing was that in just 10 minutes, the guy had 7 gotten million naira credited to the account but he also got more than that. His video earned him over 140 million Naira in just a day.
While some people feel that, he doesn't need money because he is rich and shouldn't have asked others applauded his bravery but one lesson I learned from this is we should all learn to build our circle.

He wouldn't have had the confidence to have asked for such an amount of money if he wasn't sure of the kinda friends or circle he has or has built over the years.
We most times try to be the boss of everything and everyone and feel happy when our group of friends comes to us to ask us for help, which isn't wrong but it is better if we learn to show them the way, so we can always have people to rely on or get our back when we are broke.

Have heard people say, I don't have friends, and I guess most of them have gone through a lot of havoc and disappointment from the people they once called their friends which is understandable but don't think any man living alone can be successful in life because we all need people to succeed.
Make friends socialize, build the circle of friends you want, a circle of friends you can trust and rely on when you are broken and need a shoulder to lie on.
I am not saying we should look for people that will carry our burdens for us because everyone has got their own challenges to face, all I am saying is build a circle that will stand by you not only when you are rich but when you are at your lowest and need people to comfort you.
We should absolutely mind how our circle compliments us.
Its may not be only for financial aids, because looking down on someone today, may be a very grave mistake.
I have got the best of friends. They may not have much but they have contributed a whole lot. So yes,build your circle sensibly.
Great, it's a beautiful thing to have the best people in your circle even if they do not have much but their willingness to contribute to your life regardless is the best that can ever happen to any person.
Building your circle is great and that's one of the things that made it easier for him, however, I also feel like it was also because of the kind of person he is.
He has always been one to extend a helping hand to people around him, so it didn't take much for those people to reciprocate. They know if roles were reversed he'll easily do the same.
