Worth Noting:
- Those who vie for elective posts need to remain optimistic that the electorates will vote in their favour. However they should be alive to the fact that there are two major possibilities, one of wining as well as losing.
- Not all times the electorates speaks their heart in matters of who their preferred candidate is so you may be duped that they are for you only to be shocked when election takes place and results are released. If you win yet you had doubt you should be ready to take the mantle and fulfill the pledges you made during the campaigns.
You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it. ………………… Paulo Coelho.
In life there are many happenings some interesting others unpleasant. It is the wish of everyone to enjoy the best things in life. If it happens to come it is something to celebrate. If you have not got the sweet part of life you keep looking for it. In this search you may encounter challenges once you realise their presence you are required to find an exit from them rather than remaining in them and lamenting.
What pleases you today may become boring tomorrow not that it has changed in composition but because of targets changing where you aim for bigger and better yields. In such cases you should not stagnate there thinking of the alternatives that were available before arriving at that stage rather you need to concentrate on the avenues that will promote you to your preferred destination.
In courtship every interested party puts the best foot forward to maximize chances of success. Some will fake their value system especially if they happen to know your preferences all in the name of winning your heart. Pleased by convergence of ideas you will be happy for meeting almost perfect mate only for the true colours to appear after you get married and start staying together.
When this happens you need not to constantly blame yourself for remaining blind in the past to the true character of the person you are dealing with all you should do is to evaluate whether the issues arising are tolerable and whether the other party is willing to accept the mistakes and take remedial steps if yes then the future is bright if no you should be ready to exit the relationship and move on with life so that you can enjoy your freedom.

Do not hesitate; instill confidence in them that they made the right choice by voting for you. Serve everyone well including those who voted for your competitor signaling that the campaign period is over it is time to better mankind in the office you are occupying.
On the other hand failure to clinch the seat should not depress you, take few days to lament for the loss then stand up firm ready to go on with other chores in life if still interested in serving at that capacity make a schedule of how you will participate in the next elective season. Never overstay in lamentation period the same people who rejected you are the same you can convince to vote for you be kind to them.
The farmer should enjoy when the rains are adequate and the harvest is plentiful however if the rains are inadequate he should think of alternate ways of watering his crops.
Regretting about poor harvest is okay but he should think what next to avoid a similar encounter if the rains fail in future. Counting what is at hand as what you own is being realistic planning on how to multiply it in the next seasons is what will help you not to over rely on past.
Human wants are limitless no matter how much you got today you will be curious to get more keep research on innovative ways to advance from where you are in life take any misses as lesson on what to avoid next time or what to correct in your next trial. Remain optimistic in life. Remember that excessive of anything is poisonous including monotony.
