When God smiles at you
Once upon a time in a community in Imo state, there lived a boy named Dave. He grew up in a humble family, where his parents did their best to provide for him and his siblings. However, when the time came for Dave to continue his education after secondary school, his parents couldn't afford to sponsor him for university. Understanding their financial limitations, they enrolled him in a trade school instead.
While his friends prepared to attend lectures and pursue higher education, Dave's days were filled with learning and honing his skills in his chosen trade. Despite facing taunts and ridicule from his friends, Dave remained focused and committed to his aspirations. He knew that education was important, but he believed that success could be achieved through hard work and dedication, regardless of academic qualifications.
Five years passed, and all of Dave's friends seemed to be doing well. Some of them bought cars and would occasionally tease Dave, throwing #50 notes at him as they passed by. Though it hurt him, Dave never let their actions discourage him. He was determined to prove that success was not solely dependent on educational achievements.
One fateful day, an unexpected event shook Dave's world. An asteroid fell from the sky and crashed through the roof of his home. In an instant, Dave's thoughts raced, contemplating the damage it had caused. He worried about how the rain would make his family restless and the financial burden it would impose on them to repair the roof.
To his surprise, a week after the incident, a group of foreigners arrived in the community. They had heard about the fallen stone and were willing to pay a million dollars to acquire it for scientific research. It turned out that the asteroid had valuable properties that made it highly sought after by researchers around the world.
Dave's life changed in an unimaginable way. The unexpected fortune that came from the sale of the fallen stone not only allowed him to repair his damaged roof but also transformed his family's future. With newfound financial stability, Dave decided to invest in his trade and expand his business.
