| At the point of death a man, Tom Smith, called his children and after praying
for them, he advised them to follow his footsteps so that they can have peace
of mind in all that they do.
The youngest child, Immaculate, a female, looked at others and yeled, "Daddy,
its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank account, personally,
I can't emulate you. Other father's that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of
public funds left houses and properties for their children; even this house we
live in is a rented apartment, sorry, i can't emulate you, just go, let's chart
our own course, let's paddle our own canoe." Few moments later, their father
gave up the spirit. Three years later, Immaculate went for an interview in a
multinational company. The interview panel had already penciled down a
candidate for the highly coveted post but wanted to complete the formality of
interviewing all applicants on the list. As soon as Immaculate sat before the
interview panel, the Chairman of the committee asked, "Which Smith is yours"
and Immaculate replied, "I am Immaculate Smith. My Dad Tom Smith is now late
he died a poor man..." But the Chairman cuts in, "O my God, you are Tom Smith's
daughter? " He turned to other members and said "This Smith man was the one
that signed my membership form into the Institute of Chartered Administrators
and his recommendation earned me where I am today. He did all these free. I
didn't even know his address, he never knew me from Adam. He just did it for
me." He turned to Immaculate, I have no question for you, consider yourself as
having gotten this job, resume tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.
Immaculate Smith became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two
cars, one official and one for private use, attached to the office, with a
duplex and two drivers and a salary of £100,000 per month excluding allowances
and other costs when she travelled outside England. After two years of working
in the company, the Group Managing Director of the company came from America to
announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with
high integrity was sought after, again the company's Consultant nominated
Immaculate Smith. In an interview, she was asked the secret of her success and
the sudden sky rocketing profile and in tears, she replied, my Daddy paved
these ways for me. It was after he died that I knew that he was financially
poor but stinkingly rich in integrity, discipline and honesty. She was asked
again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still
after a long time. She replied, "At the point of death, I insulted my dad for
being an honest man of integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now. I
didn't work for all these, he did it for me to just walk in. So finally she was
asked," Will you follow your father's foot steps as he requested? And her
simple answer was, "l now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my
living room and at the entrance of my house. He deserves whatever I have after
God. Are you like Tom Smith? It pays to build a name, the reward doesn't come
quickly but it will come however long it may take and it lasts longer.
Integrity, discipline, self control and fear of God makes man wealthy, not the
fat bank account. Leave a good heritage for your children. Are you building a
good name for your children not a fat bank account? As an agent of CHANGE,
please share this true life story with your loved ones. God bless us all. |
