SMALL THINGS AFFECT PEOPLE OF SMALL MINDS!
A man was standing in the queue, waiting his turn to withdraw some money from the Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
After it got to his turn to withdraw, suddenly, the machine brought out a notification that reads:
'temporarily unable to dispense cash'
Gbam!!! this man angrily slammed some of the operating buttons of the machine.
Everybody was shocked at his lack of self-control. Some fellow started rebuking him for his inattitude, but he never showed any sign of remorse.
Interestingly, one of the security personnel walked up to the ATM area to observe the extent of the damage. After thorough examination of the machine it was observed that some key buttons had been rendered inoperative.
At long last, we were all advised to leave and use other banks. Funnily enough, it was only this bank that was stationed in that busy commercial area.
Sadly, after spending about 3 hours queuing, we were all brought into this difficult situation, simply because a man cannot exercise patience in the face of minor challenge.
Indeed, small things do affect people of small minds!
When things don't go your way as you had planned, how do you react? Do you just throw tantrums and start acting in a manner that's inconsistent with your values?
People of small minds allows petty difficulties or inconveniences to make them lose their cool! For some, they can easily become infuriated, over-blurted and envious just for no reason!
Do you get into argument with the waiter/ waitress simply because your order wasn't taken on time?
All this and many more goes a long way to show what manner of people we are made of!
Be a person of love, understanding and patience; and you will see how fair the world is!
