Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 154: Things I Would Never Do, No Matter the Circumstances
State 3 things you would never do, no matter how difficult your situation becomes?
The 3 things I would never do, no matter how difficult my situation becomes, are:
- Smoking
- Drinking
- Steal
The three things above are what I would never do not matter the difficulties that I am facing.
Why are these particular things non-negotiable for you? Tell us.
Smoking is something that I can imagine myself doing because I dislike it and do not see myself smoking when things become hard for me, and I haven't smoked when things are going well for me. It is said that smokers are liable to die Young because smoking damages the lungs, and it can affect my health.
Drinking is what I can't do when I am faced with a difficult situation. I do drink sometimes, but I can't just overdrink because of my difficult situation. I do hear people say Drink and wash away your sorrow, but as for someone like me, I can't do that.
Stealing is something that I can't do because, no matter how difficult my situation is, I cannot carry a gun, knife, or dangerous object to rob someone. I cannot even think of carrying something. It is too risky to steal because when you're caught, it's only God who can save you.
Have you ever been in a situation where you were pressured or tempted to compromise your values? What happened? We want to know.
Yes, I have been in a situation where I was pressured. My friends who are on Yahoo have pressured me to join them in what they are doing, but I refused to join them, and today I am so happy for making such a decision.
Then, when they were cashing out, they were just oppressing me and even insulting me, which I felt tempted me to compromise my values, but remember how my parents used to warn me about doing evil things or following people to do what they're doing that is not good.
What advice would you give someone who is being pressured to cross a boundary they have set for themselves?
My advice for someone who is being pressured to cross a boundary they have set for themselves is for them to distance themselves from people who are putting pressure on them or making them cross their boundary. Don't do the things that wouldn't bring you peace of mind.
