a short story about self believe,motivation and insight to bring about greatness
Your writing goes here... just before the dawing of a new day jude had been up a while earlier than usual,rising up from where he laid he headed for the bathroom with an intention of having his faced washed.
just then he got to notice he has losed some weight,he is no longer the plumb and roburst fellow the neighborhood had known him to be.
he sighed with a deep breathe as he looked at his reflections on the standing mirror just then he questioned himself to know what could have amounted to his emaciation,sure its definately not going to be malnutrition! as it occurred to him that his diets had been on a balance
what could possibily be his problem? he rolled his eyes up as he interogated himself conscientiously....
just then he realized that his been going through alot of thinking as he quest for himself a better life,since he left college he had expected that he would make furtherance to the apex of his career but the means to provide for his needs seemed rather to be on the shortfall.
his parents are not high income earners as such they've lived in thesame slum for years and within the neighborhood a few shows intrest for education.
its quite disturbing that he seemed to be the only one having the drive to soar his way up out of illiteracy
though still a youth of about 20 years old he understood how crucial it is for him to utilize his available time if he must have his way to greatness......

walking from an apartment to the other within his apartment he heard sound of vehicles and as he looked outside through the window he saw it was his neighbor who was about getting set for work....now jude needed to make some money to support himself and the must perplexing thing to him is the question on what kind of work he would do.
his neighbor works at a bakery and was known to distribute his products for supplies to intrested buyers during the day,jude was moved to got out to meet him so as to ask if there would be vacancy for him to be employed for a part-time so he could raise the needed finamce to cater for his school.

quickly he rushed his way into his room to get dressed so as to meet his neighbor in order to make known his intention but while getting dressed his neighbor was already in his car to get going but lucky for jude he suddenly off the engines and headed to his house to pick up an item he had dropped forgetfully...

now jude was done dressing and was outside in his varanda waiting patiently for his neighbor to come out but mean while its a cold winter morning he was almost shivering when finally his neighbor approached his car...
good morning mr billy! jude politely greeted and with a smile on mr billy's face he answered with a coarsed voiced good morning son,mr billy was known to be nice and had loved vibrant youths.
looking at jude with a surprise he asked why he was out all alone in the cold winter morning and belly told him he came out so as to meet with him,with much puzzle on mr billy's face he asked hope its something i could help you and jude shook his head in affirmation.
jude spelt out his reasons for wanting to speak with him and gladly mr billy told him that there was vacancy and that the bakery needed more hands since its growth is on the increase and seemed prefered by the town.....
mr billy told jude if he was ready he wouldn't mind taking him there himself but jude objected on the ground that he hasn't freshened up at the shower but nevertheless he booked the next day as his prefered.
having thanking mr billy a thousand times he left for his apartment....
it all looked like a dream he was at home all through the day and finally it waa night and shortly a new day had come.
jude was earlier than mr billy and waited at his car pack and when mr billy was out he admired the dilifence and puntuality of the young man....
Good morning son,hope you slept fine? mr billy asked jude in a friendly tone and jude gave a reply with a low voice of humility....lets set sail then! mr billy exclaimed with much excitement.
on arriving at the bakery jude saw the workers all present at about 7am,he was amazed at such punctuality but something intrigued him! jude noticed a girl which he would no doubt assert that he aged.
what could she be doing here? hasn't she got classew to attend to? questions after questions swept through his mind as he kept looking at her direction just then he had his name and the voice waa from an office in the bakery and no doubts thats mr billy calling.
jude rushed quickly to answer his call and when he approached the office he was asked to enter and as he opened the door he saw a richly dressed man seat with much comfort,thats the owner of the bakery he concluded inductively and sure enough he waa right.
young man mr billy told me alor about you yesterday and i was almost impatient to see you.
whats your name asked mr simon the owner of the bakery
and jude told him every thing he needed to know and he was pleases to hear from a young man with so much motivation.....you can get started right away said mr simon and mr billy took him outside to show him some of the things he could do.....
being his first day at work it all seemed new but after a week and later a month hw became an expert admired by all.
you seem a fast learner a co-worker asked and jude told him how he loves it putting his best into whatever thing he does....
now jude was there for about 3 month and oh yea he raised up some cool cash but not distracted he kept working...
he became a friend to the girl he has earlier wondered about working in the bakery and to his surprise she's his boss daughter....
he later realised that she finished from college too but was working towards her exams for entry into a higher institution but the problem she had waa that she has always failed her exams to qualify her for admission....
now luckily for her jude had registered for exams too for his chances of admission.his boss started noticing how changed his daughter had become since being a friend to jude,she is now more motivated than ever,she now takes her responsibility manfully.....the impart of positive association jude's boss remarked
as time files the exams where writting and jude had a good score and was given and admission so was lily his boss daughter given as well mean while the bakery has increased greatly and jude seemed to have brought fortune to the place...
with much gratitude in mr simon's heart he called for jude to come to his office,and when jude arrived he asked him to get seated for the first time,jude unaware of while he was called sat with his heart pounding gently.
i have called you today so as to appreciate you for how you have brought great change to not just my business alone but to my life.you affeceted my life profoundly when you made my daughter lily become a better person after so long i had tried,i really don't know how am suppose to show the depth of how grateful i am but i want to make you an offer which i hope you don't turn down now jude was speechless as he couldn't believe that the little help he had done is about bringing him a life changing offer....
mr simon offered to sponsor him through out his studies in the university and told him to feel free to come over to the bakery whenever he wishes to and guess what? jude got married to lily after their studies and at mr simon's old age he handed the management of the simon's rich bread to jude!

indeed a sun rised in the evening of all lost hope,jude had followed his path of diligence and the result was unimaginable and you remember that slum where jude once lived? he moved out of it and his low income earning parents are now resided at the satilite towns in the city!

it pays being thoughtful.....
