You’re your problem, No one is bewitching anyone. Instead, focus on how you’ll be better, stop believing someone is behind your downfall.

This happened between two young graduates who have been working in an organization for five (5) years now. One is getting promoted almost every year, the other is hardly getting promotion every two years. They started together but ones promotion is very rapid compared to the other.
The one with the slow promotion started beefing the other guy, instead of asking for his secret formula, instead he’s always jumping to conclusions that his grand mother back at his village was responsible for his misfortunes.
The other guy rose to the HOD of his department very quickly, started earning very good pay and living life to the fullest, holidays around the world etc. his slow colleague started acting up, he hardly takes instructions from him, because he knew they started together, to his amazement, he always claims he did far better than him in their interviews, but see him now, all because his father is a close friend to the boss, he gets promoted rapidly.
On a fateful day, he went to their overall boss to complain about his promotion issues, that he hardly gets promoted while his colleague that they started the same day is now the HOD of his department. His boss raised his head up and pretended not to hear what he was saying properly, he told him, ‘there is a woman down the street who sells mangoes, go and ask how much she sells her mango’. The guy was so mad that he came for something else, the boss is sending him to ask how much they sell mango. He didn’t have any choice, he went down the street to ask how much the mangoes cost, he came back to the boss’s office and told him,
WORKER: each mango costs ¥5
BOSS: Are they that small? Doesn’t she have bigger ones?
WORKER: she does
BOSS: how much do they cost?
The guy started scratching his head because he didn’t ask, so he had to go back to ask. Then he went down the street again and came back.
WORKER: sir, the bigger mangoes costs ¥7 while the smaller ones costs ¥5.
Boss: ok, does she have unripped ones?
WORKER: Yes (now looking fraustrated)
BOSS: how much? Or didn’t you ask?
WORKER: I didn’t ask sir. Then he rushed back to meet the woman to ask. He got back and he is there conversation
WORKER: sir, the unripped ones cost ¥3 each.
BOSS: so will she give me a discount if I’m buying in large quantities?
WORKER: I’m not sure sir.
BOSS: go back and ask (now he’s very furious)
The guy went back down the street to ask the woman if there will be discount.
Then he came back to his boss office.
Worker: sir, the woman said to every five small ripped mangoes purchased, she’ll add two mangoes for free while for every 10 big ripped mangoes purchased she’ll charge ¥6.35 for each mango.
BOSS: good, what about the unripped ones?
WORKER: (now he’s looking very stupid) I didn’t ask sir.
BOSS: ok, have a sit. Then he called the new HOD of the department into his office and he gave him the same instructions
BOSSthere is a woman down the road that sells mango, go and ask her how she sells her mango.
HOD: Ok sir
then he left immediately.
He got to the woman’s shop, asked her and he came back the office.
HOD: sir, I’ve gone to make enquires, the woman said she has big and small mangoes, some are ripped while some are not. She sells the big ripped mangoes at ¥7 each while the small ones cost ¥5, I tried convincing her to sell the big ripped ones for ¥6.50, but she will not agree but instead said she can only reduce the prices if I’m buying in large quantities, she can sell them at ¥6.35 each for every 10 mangoes I’m buying while she’ll add 1 mango to every 5 small mangoes I’m buying. She doesn’t have unripped ones that much so she’s not ready to deal in the unripped ones. I also checked online if I can get a better deal, I came across a seller who is ready to sell every 10 big ripped mangoes at ¥5.90 each with delivery which I feel is far cheaper, but I wanted to take orders from you maybe I can the seller to bring some samples to the office to show you sir if you’ll like it. And I also brought some samples from the woman down the street to show you the various sizes and amount she has. Here they are sir.
BOSS: (so amazed) alright, thank you very much, I’ll get back to you
HOD: alright sir. Then he walks out of the office.
The boss then turns his attention to the other worker who was still on his seat and said,
BOSS: can you see why you’re not being promoted? Can you see why he’s getting multiple promotions? When you’re to use your brain, you prefer using your legs. You can go back to your office.
Thanks for your time.
