A SIMPLE ACT THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

 INSPIRATIONAL MONDAY



I took a cab with some students on my way back from school 2weeks ago and we were all heading to area1 when we ran into a long traffic as a result of the army check point in front.the hold up was taking longer than usual so the fair young beautiful lady that sat infornt bought herself lacasera and gala as that's the best food you can  buy in traffic, after about ten minutes the road was free and we left. as soon a the young lady finished her meal she threw the can and the gala wrapper out of the car window,well to me it was normal, but to my greatest surprise ,the gentle good looking guy that was driving the car parked and told the girl to go pick those trash she threw out of the window.i was shocked, i could see embarrassment written all over the girls face as she quietly went down from the car and picked those things then came back and apologised, the guy told her he would prefer she dropped those things in his car than litter the high way, that was the same punishment his father use to give them when they were growing up.

Hmmmm my dear though i pretended like i was minding my own business but i wasn't because i was touched by the guys reaction. from then onwards i made up my mind not throw things out of a moving vehicle instead i will be putting a small waterproof in my handbag and put all my trash in it.if not for anything to keep our roads clean and reduce the stress we give those old women who risk their lives everyday to keep our roads clean,because when you see how much they are been paid to risk their lives everyday in order to make sure the roads are clean then you will agree with me that its not worth it. but they do so to make ends meet.

am sharing this story to challenge  those of us out there who doesn't see anything wrong in throwing trash on the road to have a rethink about the damages these things cause. these are the little things we take forgranted but they do matter a lot. lets introduce this change in the lives of people around us. parents also impact this change in your children, this young man was taught by the father when he was young and the moral never left him.remember train a child in a way that when he grows he will not depart from it.
