THE POWER OF SERVICE (Series 1)


Have you ever wondered why you should do something free when you ought to be paid for it?
Service in the real sense of it means a lot in so many ways to different people.

 To an Entrepreneur, Service is rendering of an effort to her client for monetary gains
The aspect we shall be considering today is the Voluntary type or professionally called Internship.
Service in this view is considered a voluntary valuable action, deed, or effort performed to satisfy a need or to fulfill a demand without expectation of financial rewards.
“The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.”  - Anonymous
 One of the principles deduced from the Holy Book, states that every true leader must be ready to serve even his subordinates. you cannot be served until you serve.
Your attitude to service is directly proportional to your altitude of success in life which redirects me to say that " A Man without the Spirit of Service is less likely to succeed in life". 
“The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” ― Barack Obama
This is a personal experience from me, I have discovered that some of the best things, income and connections I have made is a function of service. In the place of service, your abilities find expression due to a mind stretch which helps to expand your thinking frontiers.
Some inmate abilities can only be discovered during service because of the passionate attitude in the execution of such tasks.
In this 21st century popularly known as the “Jet Age", many youths not ready to stake their heads for anything that will not yield immediate monetary value for any service rendered. Please note that the cure to vices is Service which in the corporate world is renamed as Internship.
Service is a relationship not based on what you will get but what you have to offer and is key to connecting to greatness, until you connect, you cannot collect. Whatever you collect with connecting to it through service has a short lifespan, it will soon fade out.
