There was once a young graduate who went from office to office in search for job. He did all he could do but still could not secure a job for himself. He came home one night after all the stress he had passed through during the day to think of how he can survive.
Strolling through the streets in his neighborhood, he observed that since there is no power supply a lot of people resign to the use of candles to produce illumination for themselves.
A thought prompt up from his mind “what if you start supplying candles in this neighborhood to people who sell candles? “ he quickly engaged his mental faculty and starts thinking of how to develop the idea.
He came up with an action plan. He prepared a questionnaire and distributed it to the people that sell candles in his neighborhood. In the questionnaire, he asked if they will want him to supply candles for them at a price less than they would get in the market.
The marketers agreed with him. Instead of spending transport to go buy candles, they would rather spend just the cost of the carton of candles they want.
The young graduate went to see the wholesale distributor of candles and made a deal with him, he gets the candles at a very cheaper rate, sells it to the retailers and makes his profits.
He did it for a while and realized that it was a brisk business and he could actually become rich from it, he quickly made enquiry on how to manufacture candles and later went ahead to establish his own candle factory with the money he made from supplying candles.
Today he is very wealthy and has become one of the major distributors of candle in his country.
Tough challenges, failures, and even disappointments can help you realize the only option left – what you have in your hands. The fact is that if you want to succeed in life, you must learn to make use of what you have now! Not what you intend to get later.
Never build your life based on what you intend to achieve, but rather build your life acknowledging and developing the potentials that you have now.
Have you ever found yourself in a condition where you it seems as if you have nothing left to aid your success? Think again before giving up. There’ll always be something in you that can produce outstanding result if properly harnessed.
God did not import or invent any special tool or machine before telling Moses to divide the red sea, but rather He made use of what was in Moses hand, a rod. “But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel
Stop complaining of what you don’t have, but rather start making use of what you have in your hands. That is where success starts from.
En-route to success unlimited, we know that;
“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.”
- Richard Nixon
“Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want.”
- Geoffrey F. Albert
