Having A Bad Day? Think Again

Having A Bad Day? Think Again

There was an article in the Times today about the long-overdue rehabilitation of a major airport in Nigeria. They’re going to close it for six weeks to repair runway potholes, deteriorating stairways, and non-working restrooms. The government has been incompetent in failing to maintain the place.

That means that everyone dependent on it is out of work and with no income, no safety net, from taxi drivers to restaurant workers. One man who sells tiny luggage locks for about a dollar apiece, makes between $12 and $24 per day, on which he feeds his family. Now, he’ll have nothing.

The next time you’re having a bad day in your own mind, think of his day.

    My mother always used to say to me “there’s always somebody worse off than you, no matter how bad you think you have it”
