HAVE you heard this saying, ‘the evil you do remains with you: the good you do, comes back to you!’. This story captures it, and highlights some business lessons. A woman baked bread for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra bread on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. Every day, a hunch-back came and took away the bread. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" This went on, day after day. (She added poison to the bread she prepared for him!)

There Is A Miracle In Your Work

THERE is a much celebrated story in Nigeria and beyond, and rightly too, of Olajumoke Orisaguna, the former bread hawker turned super star. Is it not interesting to note that, ‘There is a Miracle in Your Work’? Why are many people blind to this fact?

It might seem strange to explain how an ‘ordinary oni buredi (meaning bread seller) walking the streets of Lagos becomes oni goldi (meaning wealthy individual)’ and a global icon all within about one week? There must be a miracle somewhere.
