She belonged to a class 'C' in the community. She believed she was a nobody but was able to raise  her post through hard work. She started as a secretary in the office. Eventually, her boss promoted her to be an executive secretary. There was a time when her boss needed to go out of the country unprecedentedly, so her boss told her to take over a meeting with a client. Unexpectedly, she was able to let the client sign over a luxurious deal which in the end gave the company high earnings. From then on, her boss trusted  her to take over some deals which again promoted her as a negotiating officer in the company. Almost every night, she studied, mastered, and by heart learned all the basics and techniques of this profession which made her the most-regarded and trusted employee in her company. After 2 years, she got promoted. Then year after year, her position had elevated until such time that she became the CEO in the company.

In a TV talk show episode entitled 'Rags to Riches' where she guested lately, she was asked by the host with this, "What is your secret to success?"

She answered, "There's no secret at all. Just hard work. Hard work doesn't kill anyone. Hard work is as much as intelligence.Learn your profession. Love what you are doing."

pubescent

A 70-year-old grandfather is having a heart to heart talk with his 13 year-old grand-daughter. This teen does have a lot of tantrum. She's in an age which we call transition period from childhood to puberty. She complains a lot. She rebels a lot. She frowns a lot. Her face is always gloomy. She barely grins whether at home or outside. But only one line from the grandfather kicks her heart out whenever this young woman dislikes situations and her rebellious and pubescent character spurts out. The grandfather says to the grand-daughter, "Smile while you still have teeth, grand-daughter."

joey and joey's kid

When Joey was a kid he used to play   marbles, and rubber bands or outside the house like hide and seek, batting ball, etc. He frequently visited a river to have fun with his classmates some kilometers away from his house. He was enthusiastic whenever he saw his father or mother plant vegetables in their garden. His mother usually made some delicacies only made in their hometown. He got to watch TV programs in his grandmother's house because only a few families could afford to have TV at that time. When he got home with his mom, he used  a torch-like light to lead their path.

Now Joey's kid just stays inside the house playing video and computer games. His kid always insists to swim in a resort near their house. His kid doesn't know how to plant vegetable because he is enrolled in a private elite school. His kid usually eats spaghetti, pizza, or fried chicken, or any food from a fast food chain.This kid also has his own TV inside his room and can see anything without anyone's supervision. Sometimes, he also gets to watch movies inside a cinema.

Some years have passed by. Joey notice some changes in his environment's way of living. But one thing is for sure that would always remain in his memory: he was able to live a fruitful and healthy childhood.
