My good friend Rick and I both graduated from the same school with accounting degrees. We also both started with respected CPA firms upon graduation.
Rick dreamed of becoming one of his firm’s youngest partners and he began diligently working towards that goal. I also dreamed of being a partner, but soon realized that public accounting was not for me.
Today, Rick’s been with the same organization for over 40 years. His firm grew to be a national powerhouse and Rick’s diligence and skill has resulted in him becoming the Chief Operating Officer of this publicly-traded firm.
Proverbs 13:4 teaches, “A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.”
Like Rick, the dreams you have for your career are best realized with diligence and perseverance.
