The Falsity of Job Security

Image
In a dynamic global economy programmed with inevitable economic cycles of booms and busts, job security is a technical falsity. To my mind, 'job holding' sounds more realistic. In any and every job you ever hold, only your invaluable contributions may keep you employed for the long haul, if you choose to remain a placeholder. According to a Nigerian adage credited to the Yorubas, "it is the office that actually succeeds every officeholder". So, even if you lose a job during an 'unfavourable' economic cycle of recession, please do not despair. The skills you have built while you held a job can guarantee your sustainable development, IF ONLY you can think deep and through enough. The twin assets of skills and wholesome faith, if productively engaged, can keep you smiling through all business cycles.
