Why This Family?

Overtime, I have met people who are totally not pleased with the kind of families they find themselves and as a result end up living fake lives. This mostly is because of the monetary issues and the poor financial status of their families compared to that of their friends.

Some would even go as far as saying, “I wonder what my parents were doing when their mates were going to school.” The truth is, as youths of this “computer age”, we want to have access to everything our friends have access to at all cost which can not and would not always be possible.

No matter your background, it is always good to know that you can always make it if you so wish to work hard no matter the status of your family. Who knows whether you were destined to make that family great and that was why you were born into such family in the first place?

Now is not the time to brood over “if wishes were horses” or what your parents didn’t do right because even if wishes become horses of a truth, and the hands of time were reversed, you would only continue to wish and wish because “even if all animals are equal, some are more equal than the other “(Animal Farm; George Orwell). This means that, you would surely still have friends with families who are richer than your family no matter how rich your wishes had made yours become.

Therefore, now is the time to work hard and stop saying “Why this Family?”
