"Billionaire CEO of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson, paid a surprise visit to one of Virgin Atlantic branches and found an employee napping on a couch. He took a photo beside him and published it with the following: "In order to remain the first company in the customers' satisfaction, this employee worked so hard and now he's so tired, which forced him to rest a little."
Perspectives and Perception are key drivers in life. While he sees him as a tired employee that needed some rest, another boss somewhere may see it as sleeping on duty. It's always good to view things from other perspectives and also put a human face to it. Much Respect, Sir Branson!"-©️ Betty's Desk

"Size does not always determine victory. A machete can cut down a tree, but it can’t shave your beard, while a razor blade can’t cut down trees, but it can shave your beard. Success lies in wait for you when you focus on your area of strength. If a razor tries to cut down a tree, it will be a failure in life.
So, stop comparing yourself to others. Everything shines when it is its time. Whether the sun, moon, or stars. Take you for example. You don’t put on your lights during the day because it is not the right time. You, too, will shine. Your time is coming soon.
Everyone is not in the same time zone as you. When it is night in Australia, it is still morning in America. Thus, don’t compare yourself to others whose time has come.
An elephant is pregnant for two years. A rabbit is pregnant for a month. Rats are pregnant for just two weeks. The length differs because their offspring are different. You’re pregnant with an enormity. Don’t compare yourself to someone pregnant with mediocrity. That orange is in season doesn’t mean corn won’t have its own season. Wait for your season!"-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).
