What's that one thing you didn't know about yourself till someone told you about it. Whether it's a physical feature or a character trait.
Sometimes we might think we know ourselves but doesn't know that people around us might notice one particular thing about us which we doesn't know about ourselves. I do hear people say, i know myself very well. But is that true? Can it be possible for one to tell us something that will shock us about ourselves? It's pretty possible. I always tell myself that i know myself very well, things i can do and thing i can't do. Sure, i understand myself to that extent. But one day, something happened that shocked me and after examining closely, i found out that it's true about me though it was made known to me by my closest matured friend. What a fuck!! You care to know right? Yeah, am willing to tell you. But before I go on, get a cup of coffee ready and make yourself comfortable hahaha, let's go.
One day, i had a misunderstanding with a woman who has been giving me troubles. I have been avoiding her but that day, i couldn't hold my temper again. I talked to her to the point she became ashamed of herself because i called her so many names. Later,she complained me to the family members and i was called to explain why i should give her those names. I told them how she has been a thorn in my flesh for years now but i kept on avoiding her. So, I needed to put an end to her troubles by reacting the way i deed. Actually, everyone said that what she did and has been doing to me was wrong. And i was blamed by calling her evil woman. Later, one of the family members, who is a friend to me called and sat me down. He told me what i never knew about myself. He said, i quote him.
The judgement that was to be in favor of you turned out to be against you because of your over tractions. I know what she did is wrong, but you would have hold your temper and complain to me first. So please, always try to control your temper whenever you are angry, that's your fault. Once you are angry, you don't think before you speak. Anything that comes out of my mind you say it out without thinking the bad side effects of it. I know one's one is angry, he or she is mad at the moment but you are not totally mad Chichi. So please, don't say everything out when you are angry, have a reserve so that you will see reasons to make up with the person in future.
Wow!!! I was melted after hearing all these from him. I never knew i have such a big furlt and he told me that he has been noticing that in me. Since that day upwards, no matter how angry or upset i am, i count the words that goes out of my mouth.
Don't think or believe you knows yourself well. Sometimes, is good to ask a close friend or relatives to tell you something about you they like or dislikes. Or, some of your attitudes you need to improve on. And when that is done, try to work on them.
