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.
