GOING THE DISTANCE
I have without number in this column written about believing in yourself, even when the whole world thinks otherwise. Also about believing in that idea or invention of yours, though experts may not see any thing good about it. You have no reason to give up that dream just because someone else simply doesn’t buy into it. When they say it’s not possible prove to them that it is. A young man in need of work once saw this advertisement in a local newspaper. “Wanted, young man as an understudy to a financial statistician, P.O.Box 5902, Ihube.” The young man decided this was just the kind of job he wanted, so he replied to the ad but no answer. He wrote again, and even a third time with no reply. Next, he went to the local post office and asked the name of the holder of Box 5902, but the clerk refused to give it, as did the postmaster.
Early one morning an idea came to the young man. He rose early, took the first transport mode available to the local post office, and stood watch near Box 5902. After a while, a man appeared, opened the Box and took out the mail. The young man followed him as he returned to the office of a stock brokerage firm. The young man entered and asked for the manager. In the interview, the manager asked, “How did you find out that I was the advertiser?” The young man told him about his detective work, to which the manager replied, “Young man, you just the kind of determined fellow I want, You are employed!”
I remember reading the story of a sixty-five years old man who worked into a marketing office for employment. He was rejected because they do not have vacancy for someone of his age. He insisted that he can take up any position. In other to frustrate him, the helmsman nof the organization told him of a region where not doing well. Though they have a representative over there, but business wasn’t booming. He agreed to take it up and started the next day. In just a few days, the company began to get orders from the region. It was strange so they decided to honour such orders until repeated calls started coming to the office about shipment. Within a year, the old man became a vice-president in charge of the sales staff.
Dear reader, nobody will buy into you until you buy into yourself. Nobody will respect you if you do not respect yourself. The same goes belief. If you have the believe that you can accomplish a task, nobody on Earth can STOP you. The young man in our story could have given up, but see how he ended up.
My beloved friend, “Go and make It happen.
