Just Too Good - Inspirational by isikefelister: 9:01am On Aug 04, 2016
```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..

God bless us all..```
