An Eleven year old friend of mine, tells me the three words that strike him the most when he sees the sign:
"Men at Work".
"I think CAUTION, BEWARE, ATTENTION" Isaiah says.
As obvious as that is to everyone who sees the sign from time to time, Only a few take time to reflect on it. So lets do it together. Shall we?
We are first MEN...Irrespective of what we do, we come first. In otherwords, Who you are (lifestyle)before Your work. Place the highest priority on character, mentality and values.
We are first MEN...What we do may give people the worst or best impressions about us. We may be called gods or devils. Know yourself first as a Man and know the difference.
We are first MEN...Life comes before making a living. Both are not equal, not comparable. To stay on the job, you must stay alive. SAFETY FIRST.
"Men at Work".
We WORK...Complain, criticise, castigate, contradict, contravene may make us smart and enviable BUT it is WORK that makes us RESPONSIBLE.
We WORK...Sweat, strength, strategy precede success. Only the Devil's workshop recruits the lazy. Commit all, risk all and try all.
We WORK...The real purpose of life is Work. We shall be remembered for all WE HAVE DONE. History remembers the Worker not the Talker.
A few common falasies, you need to closely examine:
THERE IS NO WORK: Really? Are there no men? Are there no problems, needs and dreams? Where there is a will, theres a way.
Its an excuse that rewards no one.
WORK DOESNT PAY: Laziness and idleness does? You dont need the money? You love begging?
Pay doesnt work, Men do for pay.
RETIREMENT IS FOR THE RICH: Does the Rich rest? Are pensions still viable in the modern world? Dont bank on that.
Truth is, the Rich labour to get then labour to preserve.
All success stories depend on the word, WORK.
If you desire to have a success story, then henceforth chose to carry out your daily activities such that all who come in contact with you have this one picture of your life:
"Men at Work".
