A PREAMBLE

Back then in our secondary school days, we had this English Language teacher who was so strict his baptismal name was deftly stepped aside by students and replaced with Mr. Strict Strict (1st + last name).

There was style to his "strictness", though. That's because he was passionate about details. Nothing escaped the attention of Mr. Strict.

He demanded perfection. If ever there existed a bubble buster, he would be the one.
No matter how brilliant you were, no matter how sure you were that you had answered his questions at your best, he would always find some fault in your paper somehow.

It could be about how bad your writing was.
It could be the arrangement of your paragraphs, or faulty spacing between lines, or too many cancellations, or a detail overlooked somewhere somehow, and so on to no end.
With Mr. Strict, something would always be wrong.
However, to give him his dues, once in a while a kid or two would get his pass mark but that usually happens like a bolt from the blues.

Fast-forward the tape please.
I was an adult and in business before I got to unravel the mystery behind that guy's behaviour, and then I realized that what we had tagged "strict" was actually a misnomer for "meticulous".

In the course of daily transactions and the struggle to survive, I began to value the principles and habits we had mocked ad students.

I then realized it pays to give close attention to details. If you are meticulous that suggests you always do things with great care, that you make sure all your "I's" are dotted and your "t's" crossed unfailingly, and that every detail is carefully considered and without errors.

Being meticulous is essential for growth in all aspects of life, especially in work environments where error in presentation and faulty work habits can be detrimental to the growth of the company. That scenario could we'll play out in loss of credibility, faulty book-keeping and problems associated with it, or customer displeasure, etc.

It doesn't matter whether it's  personal business, association, public service, organization or other work environments; being meticulous is an asset for development and growth.

7 WAYS TO SELF-BOOST AND ENCOURAGE YOURSELF TO SUCCEED

  Topics Introduction A self-defeated man 7 ways to self-boost and encourage yourself to succeed INTRODUCTION Self-encouragement is a psychological boost. It is the tonic the spirit desperately requires to survive. To excell we all need every bit of   encouragement we can get, because to succeed in life is neither a child's play nor a stroll in the park. Cops will tell you the road to secure a promotion is a tough beat. You have to work at it. You have to become a go-getter Beat your own drum. Sing your own praise. Similar to the analogy of the lizard whose habitual nodding of the  head is a symbolic pantomime of "if you don't appreciate me I appreciate myself".

Wealth is not necessary synonymous with success, though nowadays we use them as if they mean the same thing (which they don't). Wealth naturally deals with existing abundance of something, such as economic  assets, riches, and valuable material possessions. Success, on the other hand, concerns itself with EXPECTED POSITIVE RESULTS of a planned movement or effort:  such as the achievement of one's aims, objectives, targets, or goals - whether in business, socially, academically, professionally, in  humanitarian service, in any area of focus and endeavor, etc. For some people, the journey to wealth or success can be quite a hoot and a holler, having been shortened dramatically for them by fortunate  circumstances of birth.
