Direction or Speed?

DIRECTION IS MORE important than speed..
The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions..
Taking precautions in the journey of life is the secret of how to be recruited into the employment of success..

👉 I have a story to gist you this afternoon..

At the interview to fill the vacancy of a field engineer in a multinational oil company, two competent qualified engineers were shortlisted & the company was to decide on who to retain & who to show the red card..

After the two of them have done brilliantly well in both written & oral tests.. they asked them if they could drive & they both answered in the affirmative even though only one of them is so good to that extent in driving..

The head of the human resources spear heading the interview then handed his car keys to them one after the other to prove their driving skills within the company premises..

The over confident applicant jumped forward & collected the car key, opened the car, switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled, swerved & made some stunts on wheels before parking the car to the spot to the seeming rousing applause of those watching the scenario..

The other applicant who was not so good in driving collected the key all the same, opened the car, opened the bonnet, checked the engine oil level, the brake fluid level, the gear oil level & the water in the radiator level..

He then closed the bonnet.. & as he entered the car, he switched on the ignition.. the chief interviewer walked towards him & said:

"Don't bother driving.. You've just been hired"..

You see..
Precaution is more powerful than expertise..!

Don't be brash & over confident..
Remember - Directions is more important than speed.. Exercise caution & take precaution in the journey of life - that's how to be recruited into the employment of success..
