THE BEAUTY OF OPPORTUNITY & TRUST

I am a type of person who believes everything is possible to happen when there is an opportunity, a person works and God helps. Nobody wants to be a looser! Everybody wants to be successful. Does opportunity, however, come to everybody?
Several years ago, we recruited an office boy. I hired him because he really needed a job. He looked neat and had good manners, more than suitable for an office boy. He would always come on time and work enthusiastically. There was something special about him, in that whenever he finished his job and had spare time, he would always try to learn something beyond his routine job. This made me “notice” him.
Several months later, I saw a further opportunity for his advancement. I felt "sorry" that he only was an office boy because his abilities were far beyond that position. So I gave him a chance to become a Messenger. Working as a Messenger, helped him improve his communication skills as he was able to interact with more people. His potential was even more obvious later after he took a night class to continue his studies. His persistency to grow and to be success made me decide to give him an opportunity to become a marketing staff. I gave him the opportunity with the condition that if he failed, he would be demoted to his office boy job again. (I just wanted to show him that it was not an easy decision and without risk.) After taking a psychology test, he then started working as a marketing staff.
My intuition was correct, he was capable as a marketing staff. With some polishing, he became the marketing staff who had the highest booking and low past due ratio. It was amazing. I had made the right decision. He was very thankful for the trust and opportunities I had given him. I only asked him one thing in return and that was to show his gratitude by continuing his good work performance. Thus he would make me even "happier".
It appears that nothing other than himself can block someone’s success.
