What a beautiful way to start the week. I am always happy to share something I feel it's very important to every woman out there. But before I proceed, I will like to share a little story. There is this sister of mine who was searching for job some years ago. She got a teaching job and was not happy because of the little pay. This sister is very pretty and endowed. Not long, she left the job and moved to her friend's place where she met a man who started taking care of her. This man promised to send her to school for her degree and also to be there for her. Unfortunately, she agreed and both of them started moving together, this guy was buying her things and she just got carried away with it. To cut the story short, she got pregnant and because of the pregnancy she married the man. She was not working. So,all the responsibility was on the man. After child birth, the man could no longer cope because the responsibilities was too much for his recharge card business and there was nothing coming from the woman. They manage to have another child, this lady still wasn't doing anything.
After the birth of the second child, the man was no longer coming home, he left the lady and went to stay with another woman.

Hmmm...this story is an introduction to this week ladies of Hive contest. I choose the second question which is to advice the younger generation. Luckily, I'm part of them because I am still young, my advice to the younger women is "add value". No one will cherish a person that is not adding value to them. This lady I sited above is not adding value to the man. She is more of a liability.
A value adding woman is a woman with many skills. Don't limit yourself, keep updating yourself as a lady. Some ladies are still living in the olden days...things are changing, the top is for people who have something to offer. Work on your goals, don't limit yourself because you are a mother. Keep growing.
A value adding woman is an hardworking woman. Ladies, get on your toes! be independent! hard work doesn't kill but idleness does.
Do you want to be respected in the society? Then add value to that society. Enough of tearing down our society with our mouth. As a lady, identify a problem in the society and find a way to solve it.
Keep adding value to yourself, if you need to attend seminars please do, no knowledge is a waste, read books, don't remain at the level you were last year, learn new things and stay on top.
Summarily, dear beautiful lady, this year my advice to you is that add value to yourself which means acquire more knowledge, skills and expertise. Likewise, add value to your immediate family, society and your country.
Thanks for reading my post.
