What goes around ,comes back around ;they say on the second of July 2017,I was reminded of this when a friend reminded me of a good deed that I carried out more than twenty odd years ago.
At the time a friend told me in confidence of the financial
problems she was going through and asked whether I would be able to lend her
some money for nephew’s school fees .I do not remember the exact amount
involved any more .I had a bit of spare cash at the time and grudgingly gave it
to her ,I was not really sure whether I would be able to get it back.To her
credit she was able to pay it back and I promptly forgot about.

Fast forward some twenty odd years later ,I am now the one in
a fix and I require help in paying for some driving lessons ,during a
conversation I happen to mention that I am
having problems ,imagine my surprise and delight when my friend, out of the blue, inform in that I
should go town and collect enough money for my lessons and a bit left over.I
profusely thank my benefactor ,proceed to the point I was instructed and duly
get the promised amount.A day later my reminds me of the helping hand I had
extended all those years ago and informs me that the fellow I had helped in
paying for his fees eventually completed school ,passed and now has a well
paying job in The Republic Of South Africa.
Imagine, if I had refused to help out when I did what would
have happened.What was a small gesture at the time resulted in me getting a leg
up.Often people act without consciously thinking out their actions not
realizing that they have a bearing on what happens in the future.Should one be
in a position to help,they should just do it ,they never know that kind deed
may lead to their getting a helping hand in their hour of need.
