With a boss like mine, no chance you'll get carried away. Reality check always embedded in a quasi commendation.

"You're doing great but you should be worried that you've not groomed others who share your work ethics. Your success lies in replicating yourself".

I hear sir.

I could make excuses. Words like you can only drag a horse to the river & such but he's actually right. I cannot be the go-to person all the time. I have to consciously ensure available of a ready pool of talents who can competently deputise or handle tasks on their own.
It sounds clichéd but it's true that success without a successor is faulty. You may just be feeding your own ego by being the only one who knows how to effectively get things done. There's also the element of wear-out & fatigue. Do it for yourself at the very least.
The challenge of ruthless executioners is delegation. Finding those who share your 'succeed first, complain later' mentality. Those who will get to a door & find a way in without calling you to say the door is locked. Doers. Performers. They are hard to find.
Most ruthless executioner mindsets are innate. They are honed on the journey. They are LEARNT by observation & replication. They are not TAUGHT. If I have to repeatedly teach you what to do even after observing how I do them, you probably are not personally motivated.
You must have the belief that you're doing it for yourself. For your personal development. If I have to teach you always, you're doing it for me & you probably won't do it if I wasn't there. Excellence is a personal lifestyle not something you do for other's benefit. Do it for U.
Most people reach out to me & say I want you to mentor me but the truth is that I cannot teach you what you have not taken initiative for. @NaijaFlyingDr has shared that your mentors do not even have to know you personally. You can be a mentee by distant observation & replication
Which leads to the side conversation of what people really desire when they seek mentorship. Mentorship is not hand-holding. Ain't nobody got time for that. Mentorship is meeting you on your journey & guiding you on the right path. Mentorship is not helping you start your journey
So if you really want to replicate someone's results, then you must start your own journey & emulate the methods of your chosen mentor. Their efficiency & effectiveness was not handed down to them on a platter. They honed it over years of doing. Start doing. Learn. Imbibe.
So to all those, like me, doing a lot of things alone & despairing that you do not have worthy lieutenants, identify those in your orbit who have displayed the knack for excellence and execution& guide them accordingly.

May God send us worthy protégés.

Ugwu Ngwu.

🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
