Don’t assume you know, be trained

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.
