Mr George now suffering from anxiety sat in a deep thought on his quest to make ends meet

Flash back to when he was still a bachelor

life had being easy for him even with the low salary he received as a teacher in one of the secondary schools in the neighbouring village,until when responsibilities was added on him as he got married. His little pay could not satisfy the family's demand. First he had to cut off taking a taxi to work and later accepting taking extra moral lessons,which usually make him add four hours before he start returning home .

After three months ,his wife got pregnant ,more demands kept coming and his salary could not sustain the needs despite taking six extra subjects to increase how he is paid.

Mr George became a jerk of all trades ,there was no job offered to him that he did not accept. All of a sudden ,Mr George was a mechanic,teacher, businessman, a builder and a tiler .

" I want you to have a better life and that our son go to one of the best schools ." Mr George always tell his wife, somehow this daily assurance for the future makes him thrive to work beyond his limit. He wanted to make his wife happy but the only way he saw it possible is when he engage into several jobs as long as it put food on the table. His dream for his family's future led him into taking jobs even on weekends , to him that's what all men do and mostly uses the quote " all successful men have a story " as a means of motivation and encouragement .
