A man selling pen

```At the
point of death, a man, Tom Smith, called his children and he advised them to
follow his footsteps so that they can have peace of mind in all that they do..
His daughter,
Sara, said,
"Daddy,
its unfortunate you are dying without a penny in your bank..
Other fathers'
that you tag as being corrupt, thieves of public funds left houses and
properties for their children; even this house we live in is a rented
apartment..
Sorry, I can't
emulate you, just go, let's chart our own course..
Few moments
later, their father gave up the spirit..
Three years
later, Sara went for an interview in a multinational company..
At interview
the Chairman of the committee asked,
"Which
Smith are you..??"
Sara replied,
"I am
Sara Smith. My Dad Tom Smith is now late.."
Chairman cuts
in,
"O my
God, you are Tom Smith's daughter..?"
He turned to
the other members and said,
"This
Smith man was the one that signed my membership form into the Institute of
Administrators and his recommendation earned me where I am today. He did all
these free. I didn't even know his address, he never knew me. He just did it
for me.."
He turned to
Sara,
"I have
no questions for you, consider yourself as having gotten this job, come
tomorrow, your letter will be waiting for you.."
Sara Smith
became the Corporate Affairs Manager of the company with two Cars with Drivers,
A duplex attached to the office, and a salary of £1,00,000 per month excluding
allowances and other costs..
After two
years of working in the company, the MD of the company came from America to
announce his intention to resign and needed a replacement. A personality with
high integrity was sought after, again the company's Consultant nominated Sara
Smith..
In an
interview, she was asked the secret of her success,,
With tears,
she replied, "My Daddy paved these ways for me. It was after he died that
I knew that he was financially poor but stinkingly rich in integrity,
discipline and honesty".
She was asked
again, why she is weeping since she is no longer a kid as to miss her dad still
after a long time..
She replied,
"At the point of death, I insulted my dad for being an honest man of
integrity. I hope he will forgive me in his grave now. I didn't work for all
these, he did it for me to just walk in".
So, finally
she was asked, "Will you follow your father's foot steps as he requested
?"
And her simple
answer was, "l now adore the man, I have a big picture of him in my living
room and at the entrance of my house. He deserves whatever I have after
God".
Are you like
Tom Smith..?
It pays to
build a name, the reward doesn't come quickly but it will come however long it
may take and it lasts longer..
Integrity,
discipline, self-control and fear of God makes a man wealthy, not the fat bank
account..
Leave a good
heritage for your children..
As an agent of
CHANGE, please share this true life story with your loved ones..
God bless us
