You Are Worth More Than You Think.

The man that developed WhatsApp worked in Yahoo, later left, and went to Twitter for job, they rejected him.

He later developed WhatsApp and sold it for $19 billion.

In 1997, after Google was set up, the founders approached the C.E.O of Yahoo to buy Google for $1 million, because they were not making profit.

Yahoo Inc. refused to buy, stating that it is a bad investment to buy Google for $1 million.

Six years later in 2002, Yahoo tried to purchase Google for $3 billion,  but Google founders refused to sell, because they were already making progress.

In 2014, (six years ago), Google was worth $395 billion, while Yahoo was worth $39 billion - roughly 10% of Google's worth.

Can you imagine what could have happened if Yahoo had bought Google for $1 million in 1997? 

Or if they had bought it for $3 billion in 2002?

Moral Lesson:

In the beginning, things might seem to be difficult, but do not despise your little beginnings.

You may face rejections, but do not despair. 

You may be belittled, but don't undervalue yourself. 

Don't settle for less!

Don't sell yourself less than your worth!

You may be potentially worth more than your buyer!

Sometimes, our greatest problem is not our weakness, but the strength we have not discovered.

No matter your current challenge, don't shortchange yourself for less. 

Even this will pass away.

Trouble will always pass away. 

I am here to tell you that your problem is not real. 

What is real is that you are worth more than you are currently being valued.

The fact that you have some imperfection doesn't mean you are less valuable.

A day is coming soon, when those you ran to for help, but refused will come into your light and even benefit from you that they discarded sometimes back.

No verdict on your life is final, except the one God pronounces on you.

Don't give up on your dreams, soon it will speak for you.

_Meeting an old class mate, we had not seen each other for about 30 years. The Lord has been kind to me._

_When I saw him again, this time at a hotel lobby, he was looking simple. He wore simple Ankara attire. I felt touched._

_He walked up to me and was glad to see me again. But deep within me I was not impressed with his status compared to mine and poor me, I couldn't hide it._

_We exchanged contact details and I could see the joy in him as he collected mine._

_I told him I will drop him home in my brand new Range Rover and I pointed it to him._ 

_He declined and said he had already called for his car. It looked old, *a 2001 Honda Accord*._

_I invited him the next day for lunch at my house. A part of me wanted to impress him, *to show off my success and affluence to him,* while another was to discuss opportunities and possibly help him._

_He drove to Parkview where I lived. *He looked impressed with my home.* I had taken a heavy mortgage. *In fact I was heavily in debt.* We had lunch. He told me he was into small business and particularly real estate. I brought up more business discussions, but he didn't sound too interested. I asked him how I could help him. He said he was fine. I even told him if he was interested, I could help him secure some loans... He looked at me and smiled._

_He told me he would invite me over soon to his place. His old car came for him. I was grateful to God for what I had.  *“Fingers are not all equal”,*  I thought to myself...I was lucky. I worked in a good place._

_Two weeks later, we went to see him in Kitisuru my wife and I. She was reluctant to go because she was not impressed with the man's status as to warrant our visiting him in his house. I was able to convince her that we were close friends in college. We saw the Estate. We asked for directions to his home. Those leading us spoke his name with deference._

_It was a simple but lovely home. A 4 bedroom bungalow. I saw 4 cars parked in front. We entered his home. It was simply elegant with a touch of class inside. He welcomed us warmly._ 

_Lunch was well served. His wife called him Baba Gweth._

_During lunch, he asked about my MD. He said they were friends. I saw a company gift on one of his tables nearby. That company owned about 38% shares where I worked. I enquired from him about it. He smiled. *He told me he owned the company.* He also owned the estate._

_I did not know when I called him sir... I was in awe of him too._

_I had learnt a lesson in humility, A big one. *Appearances are deceptive.* He noticed my discomfort._

_Driving back home, I was very quiet. My wife was humbled and extremely calm. I could perceive the thoughts in her mind. I looked at myself. Living on loans, heavy loans and showing off while someone who pays my salary is quite modest and living a simple life!_ 

_Indeed "Deeper Rivers Flow In Majestic Silence!"_

_Adjust your perception towards others._

_God bless you as *you read, learn and take a good step of change.
