Tade graduated from the University five years ago and is still yet to get a sustainable job. He still can't understand why it is difficult for him to secure a job after all he came out with a first class.
Tade ventured into cab riding since no decent job was forthcoming, he couldn't do what his mates are venturing into due to his strict upbringing, moreover Tade was never greedy, he was always contented with whatever he could afford.
Using his earnings from his venture, he was able to secure a place for himself, moving from his parents home.
The day he was to move out his mother called him aside and gave him some advice. "Tade my son." His mum began, I have trained you in the way of the Lord and have taught you to be contented with what you have. I know you left school some years back but I know a breakthrough is coming your way but you would require patience if you want to really enjoy it. As you are leaving my house, don't cut corners in order to make it. "Ese ma" Tade thanked his mum.
Two years after he left his parents home, he carried a business man in his cab. Due to the Man's hurriedness he forgot his purse in the cab and left. Tade found close to ten thousand dollars in the purse but the advice of his mum was still fresh in his mind. He made efforts to locate the owner, the owner was amazed with his honesty and employed him in one of his numerous companies. The owner of the purse was a CEO of a multilateral company who due to some circumstances decided to use public transportation that day. Tade's life was changed through a single act of honesty.
