Just a little more
I give kudos to @Bisolammy for inspiring me on this write-up. I am going to be talking about the same thing she said with no difference in what I will result to, I am going to nail it at the head just like she did.
My brother was preaching one time on a Sunday morning in church when he mentioned a particular lawyer. He does go and teaches his children a private lesson every Monday during the week so as a result, he got so close to him and they became friends. So he said one day while they were discussing, he said that " the difference between a successful person and an unsuccessful person is the little effort the successful person added to his own ".
What does this mean? Let me say both parties A and B started the hustle and bustle together with the same energy and motive that they want to be successful but along the line, due to the obstacles and hurdles on their way when they were about to reach the finishing line, party B decides to give up and could no longer continue while party A continued and was successful about it with just an extra effort added to it.
There's every possibility that you and your friend prepared adequately together for an exam overnight and at 5 am you seem to have been exhausted and went to sleep but your friends tried to continue till 6 am and by the time result was out, they did well than you do. It isn't luck, it's the extra or little effort that they added to it that gave them that success.
Many of us have failed to understand that every little effort we put into work, education or anything we are doing matters a lot. It might seem that it's not adding anything to it or yielding any profit cos it isn't obvious but we should have in mind that it will result in something greater than one day. Just like a picture of two men chopping a tree that I saw one time like that. They were both chopping and the first person stopped when it was about to finish and see the treasure that was hidden behind the tree while the other person chopped till the very end and found it. If he had added just a little effort to what he was doing, he would have also found the hidden treasure.
That little effort when we are about to give up matters a lot to our success. We should find it hard to give up, like a saying that "it's those that give up, f**k up", it means we really messed up if we give up so we shouldn't do that at all. No matter how hard it might be, giving should never be part of our options at all.
I will put a stop here and round it up by saying sorry for not coming to your articles today. There have been two days of power interruption in my place and my power bank and my phone has been off since the morning. I had to pay to charge my power bank so that I can charge my phone with it and come online. Accept my sincere apology and bear with me for the main time, please.
Thanks for your understanding, bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.
I saw a picture of two men digging the ground in search of a treasure. The first man got exhausted and stopped on the way, but he was so close to getting to the treasure, just two or three more dig remaining to get to where the treasure was hidden. But the second man continue despite the fact that he was working with a bad tool, he looked beyond that and focused more on getting to where the treasure was hidden. The little effort and determination paid him off in a good way. I live everyday with this words from Elon Musk that he does not quit, He only quits when he is fully dead. Strong words. Little effort rewards greatly, so I value them.
