Hello All, here. Hope you are having a nice weekend. I Just want to share a food for thought this lovely sunday. Do you think that you are an asset or a liability to those around you??
I wanted to get a perfect definition, so I visited my dictionary to get a definition that suits my topic
A liability is someone or something that causes problems or one that acts as a disadvantage/drawback.
Whilst
An asset is a valuable person or someone that one can benefit from
Now I hope you are beginning to see the picture I'm painting.
When one is born,the individual is a liability. Such individual cannot contribute anything of benefit to anyone, rather the individual places people at disadvantaged situations. This is the Natural order. After a while that individual is supposed to become an asset, but some don't just cross over to this level. They remain a liability till they kick the bucket.
We have to grow from that state of being a liability and turn into an asset. People don't like having liabilities on their side, someone that they can never benefit from. If you remain a liability, you would definitely not go far in life.
Allow me to share a story.
Lillian was a university student, she didn't do so well academically and she wasn't really bothered. She always said afterall one rich guy would come and marry her, so she doesn't need to stress herself. Fortunately enough, a rich young man did marry her. Since she did not have any work or skill, she was a house wife, Always asking her husband to buy this and to buy that. Long story cut short, things began to go sideways for the husband,he still managed but later had to divorce the lady because she was only good at draining his account. I guess her habit made him fall out of love for her.
In the above story, you wouldn't blame the man, his wife was obviously a liability he just had to get rid off.
In this world we live in, you are either a liability or an asset.
We should all strive to be assets, to be a giver and not always the receiver. Imagine a world filled with assets, just imagine how different it would be. Think to yourself today, Am I an Asset or a liability? If you are not an asset, it's not to late to turn yourself into one.
