A Little Story on Giving Your Best in Small Places (Careers) Past performances and achievements always become predictors of future success. So if you're so talented or exceptionally skilled but you find yourself having to work your butt off in thankless obscurity in spite, don't undercut yourself by refraining from giving your best there simply because there are no applauses or because of the the myth that no one would notice your exceptional efforts anyway. Real life example - Sir Alex Ferguson - legendary ex-Manchester United manager. In nearly 27 years in charge of United, he won more than 30 trophies -- including 13 league titles, two Champions League trophies and five FA Cups. Voted manager of the season 11 times as United boss. Unassailable accomplishments. But it was in the obscurity of a lower profile league with significantly lesser popularity than the English First Division that the character, mentality and persona of the larger-than-life achiever was formed. Before moving to United in 1986 he had laboured in relative obscurity and led a comparatively far less glamorous Scottish side, Aberdeen to three Scottish titles, four Scottish cups, one League Cup and one European Cup Winners' Cup. He did not become an overnight wonder at Man U. It was at Aberdeen that the foundation for the greatest successes that would most significantly define his legacy was built with a string of exceptional performances. When Man U were in dire straits and needed a saviour - guess who was chosen for the job. The rest is unforgettable history. Bible examples - David. Fought lions and bears to protect the sheep of a father who did not count him worthy to presented as a son when a prophet visited their home to anoint a new king. When a national problem in the form of a Goliath appeared on the scene, guess who was on hand to burst unto national limelight. David. I think it was Dr. MLK Jnr.who said, "He who is too big for a small job is too small for a big job." It's in obscurity that the foundations for future usefulness are laid. Obscurity is your ally. Don't resent it - embrace it. Build yourself and hone your skills and abilities with it.

Life with bae - heaven on earth😉😘😍
