Thank you Ngozi.
Newton’s Law of Inertia holds that whenever a body is in motion, there are opposite forces that pulls it back. I think this law is visible in one’s career development; while you’re working hard to grow, there are many forces that tries to resist you–the system, other people, etc.
However, there is another force that has been shown to put many people down. It comes from you! You are your own enemy many times.
Dear friend, those unethical habits of yours, those pampered habits of tardiness, laziness, excuse-seeking etc, are your own way of sabotaging your own growth. You have allowed too many of these habits slide over the years, and they’re tugging you backward. Friend, deal with these things. Stop sabotaging your own growth. Cheers.
