The story is told of a wealthy man who had a house helper. One day the man of the house told his servant he was traveling for about a month. He gave his servant one of the vehicles in the house to use. There were some challenges with the vehicle so the master directed his servant to send the car to the family mechanic and make sure the car was well fitted. The house help obliged and sent the vehicle but never paid any particular attention to the fitting work and the repairs. Soon, the one month came and the owner of the house returned. The man called a meeting and announced that he was relocating to stay in the United States so he then blessed the vehicle the servant went to repair as a gift of his appreciation for the services he had received all these years from the servant. The servant could not show complete joy for the gift because if he knew that the car was going to be his, he would have changed tyres, breaking system, air conditioning etc. But that was his lot. No one is born with a silver spoon in the mouth. People work hard and change their destiny by dint of hard work. Don’t join the nay sayers by back biting and speaking negatively about people’s success. Rather get close if you can, and learn something from their success story. You feel unconcerned when you are wasting someone’s resource but you forget that the resource was meant to prepare you to manage your own in the future. Wealth only goes to people who have value for any and everything. If you are waiting for the one who will pay you a 1000, 10,000 or 1 million cedis, begin to check how and what you use your 1,2,5 and 10 cedis on.
