Yemi Osinbajo & The UNILAG Junior Typist: An Inspiring Story Told By The VP by Daminaj1(f): 10:51pm On Nov 14, 2017
This is a must read for all. If you are currently working hard and it seems like you are not getting the recognition and respect you deserve, keep pushing as you will read the rewards of your efforts soon!

Read this inspiring story below
http://www.daminaj.com/2017/11/inspiring-story-of-typist-as-told-by-vp.html


While I was teaching at the University of Lagos, as a young lecturer, in the department of Public Law in the Faculty of Law, there were 3 typists in the department. The chief typist, senior typist, and the junior typist. Because in those days before laptops and personal computers, typists in universities had to do a lot of work and they were very important because you always needed to type all your materials.

When there was work to do, what l discovered was that the chief typist would disappear. He works only till 4 pm. The senior typist would be nowhere to be found. But a gentleman called Adereni the junior typist, who only had his school certificate, was remarkably hardworking. Sometimes I would drop him off at his home at 1am.

Years after I was working as an adviser to the then Attorney-General of the Federation Hon. Bola Ajibola, who later became a judge of the World Court. While in the court at The Hague, in the Netherlands, one day he called me and asked if I could recommend a good secretary who is hard working and could do long judgments. I had three options, chief typist, senior or this junior typist, but the junior typist at a time had only school certificate, he didn’t have any other qualification but l choose him. He got to the Hague, and typically worked hard and diligently.

Every judge in the court wanted him to work with them. He later moved his family over to the Hague and got degrees and made a good living for himself. One day he remembered me and actually sent me a car.

Awwwww.

The 10,000-hour rule cites that 10,000 hours of deliberate practice lead to compleat adroitness in any field.

When wrapped in diligence, focus and hard work, it leads to absolute dexterity, and there is absolutely no limit to the professional value to be earned.

The typist moved from the dusty Unilag paper room to the prestigious hague primarily on the premise of good attitude and imbibed culture of excellence.

Everyone should choose a path early. Diligence is always rewarded.


Great Story by Prof. Osinbajo smiley

A good one, hard work and right attitude pays and don't play office politics for promotion, it wont last long.

Our VP has been working for so many years in many reputable establishments and with experiences. I will say he's fulfilled.

Nobody Knows tomorrow, in the little thing (hustle) we are doing let us be sincere and faithful in it and do it diligently.
someone somewhere might be watching us and when the opportunity comes those little things will count a lot.
I am sure the chief and senior typist will be envy of the man and also regretting their actions.

I follow him on his official Twitter page. An inspiring tale....

All those despising their current bosses, learn from this.....

If more responsibility is given you, it's cos you're seen as an able hand and the trust in you is not in doubt. Once any recommendation surface, your name must come to mind...

God bless you VP Osinbanjo.
