AFTER SHE CALL ME AN IDIOT.

She asked a question in a general Group on a WhatsApp platform. 

I responded to the question professionally. 

She tagged my response and typed: *"you're an idiot"* 

Upon thinking through her response, I calmly replied: *"Thanks so much. Now that you have pointed out my attention to this idiotic part of me, I'll surely work on it, God bless you my dear..."* 

*And the whole platform shook. Over 118 people commented. They were so surprised by my calm response. Of course she was terribly bashed to the extent that she "left" the Group.* 

*An hour later she called me to apologise* for how stupid she's been etc. I forgave her and we became friends. 

Then I later ended up handling her premarital counselling sessions. 

Few months ago, on my Birthday, she and her husband surprised me with a gift.

This was a year after she called me an idiot. 

*Life Lessons from this experience:* 

*1. MATURITY:* Your reaction to negative feedbacks or situations shows how mature you are. 

*2. CHOICE:* You have the power of choice whenever anybody does or says anything offensive to you. 

*3. SELF CONTROL:* If someone calls you anything negative and you lose yourself and begin to fight or shout or do anything terrible, you only prove them right. 

*4. SILENCE IS GOLDEN:* It is better to keep quiet and let people think you're a fool, than to open your mouth to enable them confirm you're truly a fool.

*5. DISCERNMENT:* You cannot throw both the baby and the dirty water away from the bathing bowl because the baby had pooed in the bath water.

*6. POSITIVE POWER:* You have the power to win people through your maturity and composure and not through overly being more sanctimonious than the person.

*7. POSITIVE IMPACT:* Life is all about people. If I had responded to her negatively, I would have lost a friend forever. 

*8. WISDOM:* There are people who are sent to you by God to help your journey in life to be worthwhile, your meeting point might be at a fighting point. Be wise, even when you're angry. 

*9. HUMILITY:* She was humble enough to call and apologized. 

*10. RECONCILIATION:* Maybe there's someone you need to reconcile with today, go ahead and do just that. 

We can all get better with ourselves, with these 10 key lessons.
