THOSE HARD TIMES//CLEANPLANET

It's been quite a while, three days I think, or so, but then, it feels like I've been away forever.

Most times, people see a rich dude who has accomplished many things in life and has almost everything he wants in life and be like; wow, this guy has it all. The one thing they forget is the fact that this same guy passed though one hell or the other, just to get to the heights he has attained.

Most times during his trip up the ladder of success, he felt like giving up, the world turned against him, he was betrayed by people he helped, back stabbed and left for dead. No one cared, in some cases, not even family, but against all odds, he pulled through and he made it to where he currently is.

Lemme tell you a story of my first job as a nurse.
By nature, I'm introverted, but irrespective of this, my words come with authority. People do say that I have a aura of a king, people do say that I behave like a father and many more things.

When I started work in the hospital where I first worked, I noticed the hospital workers, both nurses and the rest, are actually intoxicated by the power the have. The higher the rank, the more abusive they are towards their juniors, if they make any little mistake. Welp, I was there for the patient and above all, the money, so I was just doing my job, while I wait for my money.

After about 2 weeks of work, something happened. I was summoned by the matron and she told me that somebody reported me to her, saying all sort of negative things to her. They said I lied about my denomination, lied that I traveled while I did not, I don't work, I don't partake in handover, and many other ill things. My heart broke when I heard who reported me. It was the person that I was actually growing close to. She lied to the matron, which made them fire me at the spot.

When I confronted her, she could not say anything but hide in guilt. I was really pained, but then, she did what she did, and I have to get another job, so, I left. It's been a while after this incident, but then, I survived. My heights of success, though not yet up to the extent I want, has been achieve through many negativities faced in life, and I believe that there are more things to come.

The goal is to have worth, value, and a good passive income, irrespective of the knives that are stabbed in my back.
