If you want to grow weeds then simply do nothing
Weeds are garden destroyers. They don’t need any special attention or care, they would grow whether one tills the land or not, they are such disdainful pests that if you even leave an inch of land vacant, they would gorge on it and devour them.
But on the contrary, if you wanted to grow some exotic flowering plants, say, Lavenders, then you would have to till your land well, irrigate them and then sow the seeds and then on, guard them Night and Day, so no birds would devour them or animals eat them. And, when they had grown, you still ought to stand your guard and watch over them so that they are always there to fill your heart and mind with pleasant fragrance.
Good things take time, effort and more effort
In life, all good things are built with sacrifice and hard work. People always complain about their life situation, failing to realize that the situation would only improve if they improve. They complain of job loss and bad bosses, when they sleep their weekends off and their evening in idle amusement.
It is imperative to remember that if you were to work for 8 dollars an hour, that is what you are worth. For the market will only pay what Value you bring in. So, unless you change, your situation would never change.
The best way to change yourself would be to add more value to your work place. Instead of beating the time out, and getting paid, have the mindset to offer something of value to your Organization.
So the next time you see your boss, give him or her a piece of valuable advice to improve the business. Bring out come creativity. of course you would not be welcomed the first time you venture out, but eventually your efforts will pay you.
Story time
The personal development giant Mr. Napoleon Hill, always used to share this to his listeners and so we thought we could pass this on to you.
There was a young man (whom we shall call, Jimmy) was working for a certain small time organization. The young man was so bubbling that every day he would come up with some creative ideas to improve the business of his organization and would share the same with his immediate boss.
One day as Jimmy was standing in line for lunch at the local restaurant, an idea dawned upon him. Why not we open a Supermarket store which would have all of its merchandise spread in all view and young mothers and others would be able to freely move about, picking the things that they need and dropping them off, if they feel otherwise.
This idea would give the shopper more convenience and freedom to choose what he or she wants and save them embarrassment and time.
Jimmy, shared them same to his, Boss, but his boss got so wild at Jimmy that he said, “Jimmy, one more idea from you, you will be fired”, and to this Jimmy replied, “Boss, you don’t have to do that, I resign”
Jimmy took his idea and gave it to a competitor and paved the way in the opening of the very first Supermarket Chains in America, which saw Jimmy’s personal wealth sore in Millions within the very first year that the idea was put into action.
Moral
It is only a matter of time that your value and worth, if not captured and consolidated by your employer would be otherwise done by his competitor and in any case you will still rise up to enjoy the wealth and freedom of the efforts that you had put in.
So, work on yourself. this is your land. till it night and day, and irrigate it well with knowledge and learning, and then continue so with diligence and patience. For one day, you will reap the fruits. Always remember, life only gets better if you get better. You are captain of your ship and the master of your destiny.
