IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO REST ON LAURELS

 One day a rich mogul requested an audience with a priest, and the priest already knew what was coming. But as  a good leader and servant must do, he acorded him a listening ear. The mogul  brought news of all the wealth he had achieved so far including two companies, awards, houses he has built and the least of his assets he metioned was his 10 different brand of cars. He talked for a long time about his accomplishment, piling detail upon detail.

The priest listened closely through out the entire narration, but said nothing. Soon the rich narrator was disappointed. He had hoped for a more enthusiastic reception, as well as the priest's congratulations. Neither was forthcoming.

Summing up, he repeated much of what he had already stated. As he rambled on, The priest continued to listen politely, but the mogul's driver having overstayed his hour waiting for his boss, cut in and said "excuse me sir, please can i close for the day?" "Oh yeah, you can drop the car key and go", replied the mogul. The driver delightfully dropped the key and walked away. The mogul continued, interpreting  the priest's countenance as encouragement. Surely, he thought, the priest will now give me the praise I so richly deserve.

When  he finally stopped talking, The priest asked him one question: "Why do you allow your driver to go on foot every day when you said you have 10 cars?

The mogul was speechless. But the lesson was not lost on him. From then on,he understood that he should never rest on his laurels when he has so much neglect. So he left it to others to bestow the praise.

Moral;

You are not yet a success until you affect others with what you have.
