Life itself is a risk, as everybody says, but not every risk is worth taking, especially the risk that, since you plan on taking it, has caused unease in your spirit, indicating that you are about to make a big mistake. Just leave it, no matter how it is painted as a good idea, without a strong conviction in your heart.
I love taking risks, I always have this slogan: what is the worst that can happen, death? After all, whether we take risks or not, we will all die one day. So one should be careful for nothing? But you may think this is risky. I took the risk for my growth or to add money to my account. I wouldn't feel pained at all.
But a lesson was learned, thank God it wasn't in a hard way because by now I would be cooling off in Kirikiri. I remember a risk that I took that I had never taken before because of friendship; I decided to take it. So one day, a friend came to where I was working to collect a loan, as he didn't have everything needed for the amount of money he was trying to borrow.
He needed a loan to clear his cars from the wharf, and he needs a loan of about 2 million. Okay, he has to drop a collateral that is close to that amount before such a loan will be given to him, but he doesn't have it because according to him, this was the first car he was clearing from the wharf.
So he begged me to use my influence as a worker there to do it for him, promising to pay before the deadline and even interest on top. I dragged him aside and asked him if he's sure of paying back because if he doesn't, that will be a very serious problem for me. I won't let him or his family off the hook at all.That was actually a mere threat because who do I know.
I used my influence to allow him to take the loan and stand as a guarantor for him. In fact, that wasn't all because I pleaded for his collateral to be accepted. After my so-called friend took the loan, he just disappeared from the hood. I didn't bother because I was seeing his family around, so there was no cause for alarm.I called him when it was time for him to make the first deposit but his line wasn't connecting.
I didn't think too much, I thought it was the network. But two days before the first deposit, I wasn't seeing his family around anymore. That uneasy feeling that came upon me the day he came to take this money crept in this time around very seriously.I went to work and told my coworker, God bless her, Kate. She said we need to try and trace him before it will be that he was planning to run away with his family and leave the loan for me to pay.
That's how we traced this guy; it's good sometimes to have some bad friends around, even if you don't mingle with them, just make sure to greet. We caught this guy with the help of one bad guy. He was relocating his entire family out of the country and wasn't planning on paying the money in question.
His family had gone out first; we caught him at the airport. That's how he sold his land in the village and paid off. Since then, if the risk is not about me and I didn't weigh it well, if I can bear the consequences I don't take, especially for friends.
