Are You Ageless? - Important Life and Business Lessons

FOR a while, my two beautiful girls have been asking me of my age. In a discussion with them, ‘Glorious God’ by Elijah Oyelade, the popular Nigerian worship leader, was playing in the background. After a while, the song referred to God as ‘ageless’. My curious girls immediately asked what ‘ageless’ means. I explained that it means someone that no one knows his age, like God. One of them retorted, ‘Just like you Dad, you are ageless, we don’t know your age'. I completely cracked up. Me ageless? I am not God.  I couldn’t hold my laughter.

I sat back to think about this incident with my daughters, and look at the bigger picture of how we live and transact business. I took away these lessons:

·      Many a time, though inadvertently, we create misconceptions and misunderstandings by leaving blanks in our social and business interactions. We therefore create many unnecessary headaches.

·      People are quick to assume on issues especially about things they are unaware of or afraid of. So it pays to ask questions, and hopefully answers will be given

·      The human mind is quick to fill in the blanks as nature abhors vacuum. And not all our assumptions are right by the way. So always give the benefit of a doubt.

·      As much as you can, don’t give room for assumptions.

I trust that moving forward, you will not be ‘ageless’ in your dealings and pursuits.
