Be the Best in Your Field

Micheal Jackson, was Best in R&B and Pop music during his lifetime

BE THE BEST IN YOUR FIELD 

 

            Always strive to be the best in your field of specialization. There are so many people who are in that field also but among all people you should strive to make yourself known by being the best. Someone advised me years ago that wherever I find myself, I should try to be among the best and not among the rest.

            Hardwork and integrity are characters that can make you the best in your chosen field.

            In every area in life, there are always people who are the best. There are people whose names are mentioned first when that field of life is spoken of. There is no gain in being a back-liner.

            Theodore Roosevelt, the 26^th president of the United States and a Nobel prize winner said, “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the great twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat”

            The best comfort you can give your spirit is to fight to be at the top of your game; to rank with the leaders.

Below is a list of people and brands with great spirits who are the best in their chosen fields:

v  Talk about basketballers, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant jumps to mind.

The list goes on and on; what is your field? How much do people know you? You too can be like one of these people. Your name too can be mentioned first when a particular field is spoken about. Don’t think you can’t do it, you can do it! You just have to tell yourself I CAN!

All these people you see mentioned above are not supernatural beings or gods; they are human beings with one head, two eyes, two hands, two ears just like me and you. All they just decided to do was to work harder than everyone else in their field; they just woke up one day and decided to start putting in their best into all they are doing. They decided to commit themselves to their cause and die for being the best if need be.

There is no magic about it; you just have to decide to make your life count for something. If you feel the world stage is too big for you to take on now, then start with your school, start with your local government, start with your state, start with Nigeria; decide that people must also start calling your name too. Determine that fame must come to you whatever the (good) cost.   

You can be the best if you believe it and work towards it determinedly. See you at the top, I love you all!
