Day 251 of wisdom
“The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.”
Helen Keller
Indispensability in the world of work, and profession is not exclusive to any man irrespective of his class, status, skill or personality, neither is any one dispensable. The world as we have it today is the product of cumulative effort by people of every class, and strata. The exclusivity of creating a better world is not reserved for any man, everyone who has come have a part to play in making the world the place for every other person to live in, especially the unborn generation. The little push, the minor pull, the shoving, and the carrying by all and sundry have contributed to what we have today.
The world have witnessed the presence and passage of great men who invented great inventions, who painted amazing paintings, who performed great arts, who scripted wonderful writings, and brought to life unimaginable realities, these one all did their bids in making the world a better place, but there abound millions of other great men who were neither heard nor seen, but were the real enablers of the exploits performed by those we know. These men are in their rights very valuable to everything that has been created. Among these are cleaners, secretaries, laboratory attendants, and many more, they all deserve their respects.
We are all an important part of one big race, and family: Humanity, we must all be responsible in our different field of endeavour, and profession, we must with pride, and thirst for excellence carry out our duty as excellently as possible as though it is the only thing we are here to do. There is dignity and pride in labour, we must therefore never look down on ourselves as regards the nature of our profession or job. Even Jesus Christ was referred to as a carpenter. Our job should be our pride, for without us doing what we do, the world would lack something important.
If we must become, we must work. Grover Cleveland once said, "Honour lies in honest toil." it is in our honest labour that we derive true honour. Labour is the price we pay for whatever we desire in life. In the words of Pope Francis who said elaborately, "There is no worse material poverty, I am keen to stress, than the poverty which prevents people from earning their bread and deprives them of the dignity of work." poverty is not the lack of money or material substance, it is the lack of the ability to earn dignity through work. There is dignity and honour in labour strive to earn it.
