ụtụtụ ọma,
That is “Good Morning”
in Igbo language South-Southern part of Nigeria. I hope you enjoyed the long
weekend? It was more chores for me and I enjoyed it. It is back to business as
norm and I am finding that engaging as well. The first challenge for today, do
not stop creation because you are created to create what the next generation
needs.
As an employee,
there are many ways of being compensated for your service to a particular
company. It could be in form of benefits, long service award and so on. These
rewards are not for people who work for few years and move on to other
companies. What is the difference between immediate benefit and accumulated
benefit? Let’s proceed.
Immediate benefit
is a situation wherein someone would want to possess everything at once. Many
times, this has been described by elderly people as a situation where a young
man would want to achieve all his parents could not achieve in 35 years of
meritorious service in one day. If he has a good job; there is no problem but
if it is through a fraudulent means; then, it is morally wrong and attracts
grievous consequence.
Accumulate benefit
is a phenomenon of being slow but steady. I would illustrate from the life of a
teacher. Accumulated benefit comes over the years; it is not a magic wand
methodology. A typical example is a teacher who is not well paid but you will
envy the success because of the systematic planning. It is a step at a time;
the children would be trained within the available means; own a small house and
a car. Yes, that might not be the peak of life but they have got the
fundamentals. They have been able to get all they need by gradually
accumulating their meagre pay. The little you own when judiciously managed can
accumulate substantially.
The benefit of
advancing one step at a time accumulates more than rushing to attain everything
at once. The pride of being a dedicated staff is greater than being a fraudster.
The wisdom in attaining feats progressively is better than being arrested for
financial impropriety.
Do you want it to
accumulate or you want it immediately? Make a choice.
Have a great week
ahead.
