Petros Kanyama

When i was chatting with my old classmate on facebook , she is in Zimbabwe. She reminded me about something she once told me in high school. She said, ''Petros i remember when i used to mock you and used to say bad things about you, now you are a better person compared to me, at least you are now pursuing your degree, i have been following your articles and i can see your progress, awards you have been getting and as for me all i have now is a 1 and half year old baby boy, single parent in that matter, i regret every word i said, moment and time i wasted. i wish i could get a chance to start over again". I remember one day when i lost in quiz competition back in high school, she started laughing with her friends in front of me, and said, "you little boy do you think you can do anything in life" and that time i think i was one of the 3 shortest students in our class if not in the whole stream..

Today i want to try to touch three aspects, hope it will help you. We all face it everyday of our lives.

I would rather do what my friends wants me to do. I became a biggest loser because i was not strong enough to do want i wanted to do. Sometimes i could do something wrong just to please my friends. I remember the time when i failed my exams in high school and my friends passed, that's where i decided to be myself and to do what best for me. From the moment i started to make my choices, to decide who to or not to hang out with i became a better person. From the experience i have, you can show me your friends and i can show you your future. Surround yourself with greatness. The people who you surround yourself with in your life are important, if you surround yourself with people who build you up, who make you grow, who challenge you to be better, you going to become great. On the other hand if you you surround ...
