You are not useless. You have a value that you can add. No one is useless. Just because someone is unable to see your worth, that doesn’t take away your worth. It only takes the right person to appreciate and understand the value that you bring to the table.
There is no one without value. We may not see it now or we may fail to see the value, but no one is without a certain level of goodness or value that they can add to another person. Often times we sometimes feel we have nothing to offer, but deep down, if we look inward, we can see how we can benefit another life.
For others, it might be later before we truly see the value they add to us and also for us, to know what we have to offer another person.
When you add value to people’s lives, it makes it hard for people to ignore you. It makes it hard for your voice to be silenced, and it makes it add for you to go unnoticed.
I reconnected with an old secondary schoolmate recently. We did a lot of catch up and picked up from where we left off. You know the type of people you were not close to back then but still flow very well? Exactly. We were not really close then, but we talk and laugh, and now we have reconnected and we are way closer now than then.
I told him about some paints that I needed for a new apartment I am working on. He told me his sister produces paint and he would help me speak with her. He did and the woman asked me to bring just 10,000 naira (local currency), which will cover the cost of materials to be used in producing it, and she will bear the rest. I was stunned and excited. If I was to get the paint myself, it would cost me nothing less than 35,000 naira. My friend, through his sister, just saved me a whole 25,000 naira; speaking of leveraging on friendship.
His value to my life wasn’t known as a few weeks ago, we did a lot of catching up, watched football together, I gave him relationship advice, and that’s about that.
I have known another friend and we actually grew up together before we parted ways physically, but we still get in touch through calls and chats. I remembered he is into painting too and I called him up to ask him for the charge in painting the apartment. It was as if this guy took nothing from me. He lowered his fees just because it is me. He did such an amazing job that I am so much in love with. He is the same friend I spoke about with my late dad, who helped him in paying his examination fees way back, that I didn’t even remember until the mother reminded me.
We all have value to add to people. We might not understand why we have certain people in our lives right now, but time is the true test of everything, and with time we will know what value we can add and what value others can add to us. Never rule anyone out. Never conclude over anyone while they are still a work in progress. No one is useless and because you can’t see it now doesn’t mean you won’t see it. If you think they are useless, it is no longer about them, but about you, so you have to tune in and change the frequency at which you are viewing them because no one is useless.
Thank you for your time.

There is also the phrase "a little bit long to be a hill" the phrase reminds us that everything great begins with the little things. where perseverance to do small things will have a major impact on the results we will achieve.
Maybe you will say to yourself "it seems small and trivial, but if it becomes a habit it will be difficult to change it". Yes, that's very true once, if it becomes a habit it will be difficult to change it, but keep in mind it is difficult not to say it can not. As long as there is will there will certainly arise capabilities.
And as a reminder through the word wise If we can appreciate something small then something big will be easy to achieve, and vice versa if we underestimate or even ignore the small things then great things will be easily ignored. so that we should remember that no matter how small we should never underestimate it and all the little things must be beneficial.
We failed to reckon with those that do those little things at times while seeking the attention of those that make big impact.
Everyone has a specific role to play, we should understand and appreciate those around us for whatever role they play, whether big or small.
Brilliant!. Thank you
We all live in a society and contact with other people every day. Everyone is trying to do his or her best to achieve the results they want by doing things they have to or want to do like studies, work e t.c. So there is no way we can ignore those people who are around us, we see them, talk to them and very often we compare ourselves with them, sometimes even without paying attention to it (like automatically). And when we look at them, we can have some thoughts like: "These person is better than me" or "He or her is so talented / clever / looks so happy / has a lot of friends" e t.c. So, by comparing ourselves with others we start to feel bad, or even worthless. We might think that we're not as good as these people surrounding us. The main thing here is that every single person has his or her own worries, limitations and complexes. And those who you compare with yourself can think the same way as you do by looking at you and feeling not good enough as they want to be.
No one is useless in this life, we are all priceless, there would always be an area in which we will surely be needed, though, it might seems like people don't value us more but we all have where our attention is surely needed. No human being is a waste resources, we all contribute to life in one way or the other. It is just that our influence is more than the others just like grace is more than grace. Sorry I used that clause.
The desire to always add value to people life can't be over emphasize, the more value you add, the more people that is going to reckon with you more than ever. We you add value to people, your voice will surely be heard in a more meaningful and positive way.
When you add value to people's life, you are only doing yourself a favor. Because, you are building your sphere of influence.
Truly, everyone has some to offer, figuring out what the can truly offer is another question.
No one is completely useless, as humans we are prone to judge people by the what they have to offer in the present or the immediate future.
An art collector shared a story I learnt from. He was offered a painting for around $500 which he turned down because he felt he couldn't make immediate profit form such a a deal. About 5 years later, he came across the same painting and this time it was for $8million.
Tides and events turn, we never know how much value a person can be of
When a value of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. What a huge change that art collector missed. He must be kicking himself after passing up such a huge fortune. This is a good one you shared bro and i enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for that.
I love your example, if we know what would become of a man in the future, we would treat them differently now.
The two examples you shared in the post explained it all. If you are to judge the two of them as at when you knew them, they seems to have nothing to offer, but now, they have something to offer.
It took how many years to discover this part of them? More than 10 years, I guess?
That's life, we tend to judge or conclude too soon, that's why we are unable to see the true value of those we believe to be valueless.
We are all born a problem solver, if their is no any specific problem that only you can solve, you won't be created at all.
You are precious, so are those around you...
Thanks @olawalium and @communitycoin
Absolutely. We all have values to add. We all have something to offer. No man is useless, and the angle at which we view people matters. We should let each man mature in his own time, and with patience everything will see the light.
That's just it, if s/he is right for you, s/he is definitely right for another... Lol
No one is entirely useless; even the useless one can be useful, don't ever think someone is useless because the one you think is useless today may be the one you will need his or her help in future, to me, everyone has something to offer, even those who we think they have physical challenge are better than some people with no physical challenge.
Thanks for sharing @olawalium
I love that, everyone has something to offer in @surpassinggoogle's voice. No one is without value or relevance. In the fullness of time, it will manifest. The stone the builder rejected will still become the corner stone.
Thanks a lot for that.
Like a brother friend used to say that no one is completely useless, if you are not good for good examples, you would definitely be good for the bad examples.... Lol
Smile, funny one from you bro
Hahaha.....
Definately right everybody in this life is important no matter whom they are or their social, eductional and financial statues, we all have something special to add to each other's life that will be valuable . We are all beautifully and wonderfully made by God so also we all something distinct and special to offer the society
Absolutely!. We all have something beautiful and special to offer the society at large. It only takes time and patience to see it sometimes. No one is without value. Thanks a lot brother.
That's why we were created in the first instance, we were created to add value.
Yes everyone has value, even the kids. They disturbs the houses and asks too much questions but you will feel alone when they travel for at least a week or days when everywhere seems silent
I think Old friends are those useful cos they just come and provide your needs even if it's been so long you've seen each other or talks
This suit us that loves babies.. Lol
