WHAT YOU WISH OTHERS

I have always had this phrase constantly in my thoughts that say “really stretch yourself, talk to someone else for some other new options. Make some more phone calls, get busy and keep it moving! Work harder for yourself and your dream than you would ever think of doing for anyone else. Make something great happen today, you have something special within which is Greatness” .Those were the words that constantly rang in my head whenever I feel like calling it quit.


On the 20th of Jan 2015, I hurriedly got to the place where I work as an Intern because of the uncompleted work i left behind the day before which was assigned to me by My Boss . I was expected to have completed the work before going home that day but been the slow type when it comes to typing speed, I could not complete it. So, it prompted my starting of work early today , unknown to me, My Boss was not happy with the fact that i left without telling him and also not met with the deadline. In the process of completing the work i received a skype message, telling of his disappointment and he wants me to report to his office.




I reported to his office with the look of 'i am sorry', there was no excuse i could give because to him excuses are monuments for fools and I had to give reasons why i did what i did and you will also testify to the fact that if you were in my shoes you would just keep looking down at your shoes or you probably look elsewhere if you were been told that you failed in accomplishing a task . Well, i timidly looked on and that brought the question i have been asking myself for the past few days, what do you do between 8am-5pm ? How do you use it? At first i was troubled because the night before , i was tearing myself apart after asking myself the same question, I was tired,angry and hungry and i bet you know what those three does to the human mind with that question serving as the mixing agent.  I know most you won't want to be in my shoes at that moment but I answered the question, he was not satisfied with the answer and he came with what i should know and learn; In his words 'I want to you be greater than me, to know more than i do and to be able to put me through things you know that i don't know' and I was like, Seriously! is that for real


Yea!  He did say that, i was surprised at first but then he is a mentor to young people that i know so ,i really shouldn't be but i was.In the same vein i got another work schedule that would for the remaining part of the week and that  would last me for a life if it is managed well. How many bosses wishes their workers well? How many will want their worker to be greater than they are? How many will help build life? Let me put it straight to you; How many have you helped? Even when they have wronged you: do you not just only think of me, mine and myself? When those thought of greatness runs through your mind , do you also think of how to bless others with it ? Have ever thought of how people who don't know you and are bless through you will feel?



 Well, if you haven't started , it is not too late or should i say it is not late, you can include the well being of others into whatever you have planned for yourself. As for me it is part of my long term goals and i would to put smiles on others face, guess what ? you don't need to own the world before you do that, it is the little things that we do that counts.
