Even while we were still there with you, we gave you this rule: “He who does not work shall not eat.”

The Book of 2 Thessalonians

At that time, my father was happy in knowing that I got my first job. He advised, “Now that you are starting to earn for yourself and for your future family, make it a habit to keep in mind – don’t forget to bring home the bacon.”

In my ignorance, I thought my father would like me to eat bacon regularly. The truth was, I hadn’t seen yet what bacon looks like, and even tasted the texture in my younger days. I only heard that at most the rich can afford to buy this food.

Now I’m happy to share this idea in my first encounter that bacon tastes very good when served with fried eggs.

At work I heard the charge from our head of sales when he said, “Howdy folks. How y’all? What the hell yuh waitin’ for? Let’s act now and delve into the market. Bring home the bacon at the end of the day.”

It is all about achieving something effecting  to – hitting the goal. To work hard and deliver what is expected to be done.

This expression is apllicable not only in sales undertaking but also in every department of any organization in pursuit to achieve something.

Throughout my career life, I used to serve the bacon to make everybody happy and was excited to hear from somebody in the team, “Wake up guys, I bring home the bacon.”

The bacon tastes better when everyone in the team has to partake of it. 🍏

Mr Frank Bettger, the author of How I Raised  Myself from Failure to Success in Selling, shared this poem which maybe it will do something for a person. Here’s an inspiring poem, written by Herbert Kauffman and has a good title – Victory.

You are the man who used to boast /That you'd achieve the uttermost, Someday.
You merely wished a show, To demonstrate how much you know /And prove the distance you can go...

Another year we've just passed through. What new ideas came to you? How many big things did you do? 

Time... left twelve fresh months in your care /How many of them did you share /With opportunity and dare /Again where you so often missed? 

We do not find you on the list of Makers Good. /Explain the fact! 

Ah no, 'twas not the chance you lacked! As usual--YOU FAILED TO ACT!
