A Word To The Wise: Short Cuts To The Top

The road to the top is a tedious one in any field. It is not for the faint hearted or weak minded. Many people take shortcuts such as sleeping or paying their way to the top. Using this method to achieve desirable ambitions is not new. It is very prevalent in almost every industry, culture or country and in the world at large.

However, I have seen that short cuts don't work. Even if you take it to get to some point quickly, you will be deficient in comparison what you would have learned if you had taken the old fashioned regular route.

Though, I must say that no one wants to do something the hard way when an easier option is available. However, in this kind of scenario which includes dangerous liasons with power brokers, one is at their mercy and that is the problem.

I have learned that I only want to be at GOD's mercy and NOT ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING'S. The heart of man can be wicked and if you are at their mercy they can do anything they want to you.

All in all, there's nothing like good old fashioned hard work to get to the top . If you built something gradually over time, when you get to the top you will be able to stay there which is sustainable success. If you get there via shortcuts the whole thing will crumble and you would have no idea about how to build it back up.

A word is enough to wise!
