The Concentration

in Reflections7 months ago

I turned into a local roadside fast food shop one day. In the shop, they offer tea and bread, noodles and Fried egg. It is run by Aboki. _Aboki are those men from the Hausa tribe of Nigeria. There are very hardworking tribes. There are readily available to offer those essential services in the community like serving early morning breakfast to those who usually go to work very early.

When I went into the inn, I requested a cup of tea and bread. I was offered. The Aboki sells the tea at different prices. If you want a thick one (which usually is more delicious), you will pay 200 Naira. If you need the one with much water but less ingredients, it goes for 150 Naira. While waiting to be served, I was inspired by the differences in the concentration of the tea cups.

The Concentration Matters

The differences in the concentration of the tea classified those coming to the inn for a cup of tea. This classification rates us in different levels depending on our financial ability. Those who have less request for the 150 Naira content while those having much request for the 200 Naira content.

We Are At Different Congratulations

Our values in life are different. That is why two people who offer the same service suffer competition. The competition is triggered by the differences in the quality of the service they deliver. Some can even give you different rates for the same service. It is because the qualities won't be the same. This difference in the quality of the service is a function of the skill concentration each of the service providers has.

I observe content creators on the blockchain who publish quality content on a daily basis. Some even go as far as publishing up to 2, 3, 4 and more. This is dependent on concentration. In the same community, we have those who can't even make a content in one week. Funny enough these type of creators are those complaining about not receiving upvotes. Low concentration will definitely attract low reward. The concentration of our commitment, our dedication, our hard work and our skillfulness is very vital about our success in life.

Get Concentrated

What lessons am I driving home from this insight? Get concentrated! Keep doing what you know should be done. Follow the path which those who succeeded have toed. Acquire more skills. Learn more discipline. Always strive to get better and be better.

You have a point there @mfontom. I was caught by the title concentration. When I started reading I really thought it would only be about the cup of tea and the bread. But along the way as I finish reading, I got the message. In order for us to become what we wanted to we must concentrate. We must have a focus on our goal. If we fail to concentrate probably we can't receive the reward we expect. Nice content. I am being reminded to have a concentration. 🫶

Thank you for finding it useful friend. How a nice day.

Thank you friends. It's my pleasure
