PART I

GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

“Seest thou a man diligent in his
business? he shall stand before kings; he
shall not stand before mean [men].”
― Proverbs 22:29(KJV)

CHAPTER 1

SEEST THOU A MAN

There’s this talk about the world being in desperate need of
heroes; men and women that will challenge the status quo in
every facet of human endeavor. They will make a difference in
their small communities and the world will feel the ripple effect.
They won’t compromise on quality and excellence, people who
will save their world from mediocrity and the anyhowness
syndrome.
Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and
discovered will be tested and all of this will have to be remodified
by this group. Maybe it won’t happen just yet but eventually at the
long run we would realize our most cherished ways has been
altered.
Now, old standards will be replaced with new ones, old
boundaries will be pushed farther and the regular becomes
obsolete. This is now the usual.

We all have dreams of rubbing shoulders with the very
"successful" people in our society. We want to be named amongst
not just the best, but the very best in our chosen field: for
instance, we want to be the best fashion designer in our city, the
best event photographer, the best auto mechanic, the best
songwriter, the best engineer, the list is endless.

Let us get to work! Let us get down to business!
Let us get serious!
