Getting A Good Job

One day, I was traveling from Lagos, Nigeria, to Johannesburg, South Africa,

and somebody pulled my jacket from behind and greeted me. Wow! I could not

believe my eyes, It was a man that used to come to my office to beg for

money, always complaining that there is no job to do. He had been looking for

job but did not succeed. I told him one day, there is job everywhere only

that you have not seen it. I told him to take his eyes away from getting a

salary job, but concentrate his thought on how to meet a human need. He

heeded that advise and started selling scraps, now, he is so rich. He was on

his way to London for a two weeks holiday when I saw him.

This world is so big and full of resources that no man on earth can do

everything he needs to make his life good and comfortable without needing

inputs from others. Division of labour is a system that has helped this world

to develop tremendously in the last two hundred years. It is very easy for

anybody to succeed in our world today because all you need is to master an

art, and as long as this art is going to add something of value to another

human being, then, you are going to be successful. Succeeding greatly in life

does not demand that you know everything, It only demand that you know

something, and since the saying is true that no knowledge is wasted, you will

always find something good to do with what you know.

Today, in this world, people respect you and pay you for what you know and

can make available to help them. The problems plaguing people in the world

today are so numerous that if what you know can help meet a human need,

people will be looking for you with money in their hands. When people say

that there is no job, I know it is true, but if people can just wait and

think, then they will discover a need, and if they can fill that need, they

get a job. Working for a corporation is very good and brings good income for

the staff, but everybody will not and cannot work for the multinational

companies.

The best sources of income is not working for multinational companies. If you

really want a good job, you have to start by thinking, studying your

environment, studying people so as to see a need. When you discover a need,

the next thing is to plan to meet that need. The art of planning to meet that

need is a job that can turn your life around and make you a millionaire in a

few years time. The problem of rat invasion in our homes have made

millionaires out of so many people.
