Get every training and
exposure you need to be effective at whatever you do, don’t just assume you
know, seek more knowledge. Training is discipline, it’s not always comfortable
but profitable, consider the little child in the nursery, who goes to school to
recite same poem every day, it’s not as though it’s easy but it’s required for
that child’s success in life as long as academic performance is concerned. It doesn't have to be enjoyable, but you must be trained.
If you refuse basic training in life,
you will always pay for it, some times the hard way. If you will not learn to
do your laundry, you will have to pay to get it done, same thing applies to
every thing you do in life, so avoid cutting corners, always do things the way
it is required of you and make effort to do more if you can.
Some
time ago, I heard a story on the National Television Authority (NTA) in
Nigeria, about one of the prominent athletes in Africa from Kenya who holds
world record in long distance race, on how he started in life. He said as a
young lad in the village, he runs several kilometers from farm house to school
and vice versa every other day, he never knew he was training himself for
success in life. He had to endure the days of small beginning when no one
thought he existed but today, he is happy for it, his now a world icon. It does
not matter who knows you or fail to recognize your effort, either on your job
or business, just be your best at all time, the world will read of you soon and
you will be celebrated in places you least expected because your fame will
spread abroad.
