MASTERY

Mastery takes time. Only masters endure till the end.

Riding 'Okada' in my area is a task for the brave. With Fuel Tankers as your road competitors and a road under construction to manage, due accolade should be given to smart Okada riders.

Shocked? Don't be. Here's the full gist.

I went to buy fuel some days back and as my routine is, I boarded a bike to make my journey easier and faster. On the way to the Filling Station, I couldn't help but wonder at the intelligence of the man who rode the bike.

As usual, there were fuel tankers everywhere on the road and everyone struggling for a space to pass. At a point we were stuck, should we go forward or backwards was the question.

In a nick of time, as if this man carefully planned his next move, he went forward and manoeuvred his way to my destination. Wow, I was amazed. We had a similar experience on our way back too.

Mastery takes time and consistent practice. I've known this man for a while and it was obvious he's not a newbie to this craft. Beloved friends, being able to freestyle comes from the art of mastering your craft.

As a newbie to whatever, cultivate the habit of learning a lot and practicing to get thorough understanding. Showing up half baked will not pay you. Exercise patience to learn and master your craft.

Mastery takes time.

PS Okada is what a Motorcycle is called in Nigeria.
