YOUR WORK WILL SPEAK FOR YOU.
Your work will showcase you to the world. You don't need any one to tell others that you are diligent. What you are known for is what people will say about you. If you like be indolent in any assignment given to you, you may think people are not taking records, but you will be surprised that on the day of recknonig, everything about you shall be revealed in the open.
As a civil servant or a business man, are you doing the right thing at your desk, are you the type that believes that after 30 days they must pay the salary, yet you do join them to castigate the leadership that they are corrupt. As an apprentice, are you consistent in that work of yours. Can your words be taken serious? Are people not always dissapointed with you? Have you forgotten that only the diligent ones can stand before Kings and not mean men?
Take note of this, if you like go to the highest mountain and pray or engage the service of the prophets, that will not change anything. What you need to do is to change your mindset and be disciplined personally. Repackage your self and you will see that things will change for you.
I love you.
