Wonders Never Ends

Dear lovely people,

On TV that evening was a movie that Sango has been longing to watch. Relaxed in his sofa with a glass of whiskey in hand, he was smiling in rhythm with the tempo of the action movie. Before he knew it, the clock in his sitting room announced 1:00 am. Hurriedly, he went to bed.

It was 7:30 am the next morning when Sango rushed out of his bathroom and into his clothes. Waiting outside was his daughter who insisted when Sango came out of his room that he must drop her off in school and off they went. From his daughter’s school, Sango braved the unbelievably heavy traffic towards his meeting venue. It was as if all the cars in Yaounde were out on the road at the same time. He arrived the meeting thirty minutes behind schedule and met with some enraged committee members. 

Sango realized before the end of his presentation that it was the worst in his entire career. He made many more mistakes during the presentation than he had made in a couple of years. Without any surprise, he lost the opportunity to secure funding for his most cherished project. He could not imagine that after investing three tiresome months preparing for that presentation, he lost the opportunity.

That makes you want to say wonders shall never end isn’t it? How many Sangos do you know today? I mean people who invest so much time, energy and resources on a course and either mess it up at the last minute or abandon it all together when they realize    they can’t maintain the standards.

Why would wonders end when many are those who think that things will just work out in their favor simply because they have great dreams? Wonders will surely never end until we clearly understand that dreams only become reality when determination, decisive action and persistence is put to work. Your dreams will not get better just because you’ve invested time and energy in them. They will get better because you have consistently invested your energy and resources in them at the right time and in the right dosage.

The bottom line in whatever you do is that Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance and there is just no other way around it.
