My friend, if I were to ask you the question, "Do you have a small job or big job?" I wonder what your answer would be. I can just imagine some people saying, "Well to be honest with you D. Paul, I have a very small and indeed insignificant job, I'm just a small cog in a big wheel as I work for a rather large organization." To which I would say that's a load of rubbish for there's no such thing as a small job! But D. Paul you really don't understand, I'm just a messenger at a very large organization. So what. If your job were not important you would not have been hired.
Another very important point to be made is that many, many people spread throughout this great big world of ours started out in what we would perhaps term an insignificant way at or near the bottom of an organization, and yet they eventually rose up through the ranks reaching a very important management position at the top of the organization. Yes indeed, this does happen in a whole lot of organizations.
In my "Success Files" series I interviewed a gentleman by the name of Gerald Strachan who started out as a salesman for a large insurance company, which at that time operated throughout the Caribbean based in The Bahamas. Gerry Strachan worked his way up through the ranks of that company eventually becoming president. Now, that's not a fairy tale, it's a totally true story.
So in effect what I'm stating here today is this -- there really is no such thing as a small job in my estimation, after all, everyone has to start somewhere, however, with the right attitude and a real good work ethic, those who start at the bottom can indeed eventually rise to the top and thus become outstandingly successful. Yes they can!
No, there are no small jobs only small people, and I'm not talking about the actual height of a person, I'm referring to how they think, small or big. Anyone who starts at the bottom, in what many would term as a small job, can indeed with a whole lot of hard work eventually get to the top. There are examples of people doing just that all over the place.
So my friend, in conclusion, whatever your job is, it's obviously important enough for you to have been employed. So, be a real professional at whatever you do. Do your job to the very best of your ability each and every day whilst you continue to learn each and every day, for you are quite capable of reaching the top of the mountain, the summit of success. Yes you are!
