[Humbling] well to me at least…

I’ve had time off the grind to do a few things of my own, including reading and preparing for exams… having a little lie in, spending time her, that whole Me_Time, and basikly a laid back chill-out session. 

I had very interesting conversations with me Momz, and Dad…. A lot more interaction with family was time well spent I must admit… the part where each one has the time to vent and demand that every one focuses on him… then the next person and on and on just like Erykah Badu… 

In the run up to me exams, sometime last week, wait…. No the other week, yeah, I been off a whole three weeks…. Geez, feels so much better… 

Ok, back2basics…. 

In that run up to the exam(s), a friend of mine was in a similar situation… only that he was, well, at the risk of sounding full of myself, not as prepped as Mr.B2B was…

He had called his Plan_A, and she was in the same hustle as I was, and coz of her hectic work schedule, her time off was solely dedicated to catching up with ‘em books….  

So he then calls his Plan_B…. er.. yours truly

I, on the other hand, was yeah hustling like the rest of y’all, but I could manage to find at least 2 hours over 2 days and help out my er friend… 

He turned up with his Questions in tow, a massive calculator, and a very blank head… 

LOL!!! 

So anyways, we proceeded to ask each other the real basics about his examination…I helped him calm his nerves…. He said he’d done it 2wice before and was afraid of not passing it the third time… We went through a similar examination, [must have been a past paper question duuh!!]

He asked me a few too many questions, the answers to which I had actually forgotten… 

Geez… 

Never to look alarmed, but admit my ish and tell my friend that I had actually forgotten and asked him to pull out his reference book. 

That part of not pretending to be a superman, and Mr. Know_It_All, made me realise what it seems like to be a real serious Helper and Solver of Problems, especially akademik ones… 

The rest concerning social, personal, managerial depend a lot on prior guidance, sometimes relying on your gut feeling, asking around and also drawing a line…. 

What I learned from my friend and me being to actually teach him how to stay on the grind and do a coupla numbers to build his confidence, and generally switch himself on for the paper…. 

Not do a complete change of mind, but actually just a simple enhancement of what he didn’t know he knew…. 

Anyways, this post is basikly a simple appreciation to my friend for asking me to be a point of reference, on an akademik front…. 

Not only this, but actually just as being any point of reference is supposed to make you all the more Ego-Tistical, it also allows you to look deeper within yourself, and realise that you do have a few good pointers in you….

A really humbling experience You’d be surprised, that the topic in question was Accounts…. 

LOL, and the friend in question was The_One…
