I once watched a man play the piano. He touched each key with such poise that the strings within respected his very demeanour. The notes rose from within to touch the air pieces in ways that tickled my ears with the very finesse of music hence prompting a rush of cold air around me. The chills that filled my body as I watched, listened and wondered at the same time ensued that the master had a crowd beyond the world. This was a man who through the years had mastered his craft. The sound of the piano has never faded from my mind. I am converted.
I remember this television show that was about the making of the Rolls Royce or you can call it, the crafting of a masterpiece. In case you did not know, the fine Rolls Royce is not made, it is instead crafted by hand.There is a guy who knits the leather seats together with such detail and articulation that befits the seating of a king. Every piece is put together by the best there is. The car`s iconic grille is made purely by hand with no instruments. This means that no, rulers or anything of the sort is used by instead hand and eye. The luxury car brand employs men and women who are the very best at their crafts, saddle makers, carpenters, welders, tailors, engineers and artists.
It is therefore no surprise that the Rolls Royce takes six months to build compared to the 13 hours it takes to build a Toyota.
We did not know that one could make it from picking clothes that another would wear until Abryans (shouts out to him) made it. Over the years with patience and consistency, he mastered the work that has made him the star he is today.
The unemployment problems of this country can be to a greater extent solved by men who are focused and willing to be masters at something. You could be a cobbler who does it so well you make your own brand of shoes, you could be such a good chef that the your recipes become the world admired delicacies. Whatever it is, a mastered craft will become a profession, and a good profession shall make you money.
He who takes the time and invests himself into something shall surely reap from the wells of its untouched treasures. Your craft is like an unopened diamond mine. Open it, and the whole world will follow you.
In a nutshell, you may be wondering what to do, you may be looking for a job or a career, the advice for you is simple, be a master at something. Be the star of your night time.
