Jackson was ambitious right from is early age,he always dreamt of becoming great in life,due to this aspirations,he was one of the brightest student back in school, despite coming from a very poor background,he wasn't limited by his upbringing,jackson won a lot of scholarships,which played a big role furthering his schooling.
Jackson graduated with first class grades and was so excited that his dreams were about to be actualized,but then,little did Jackson know that the world is being rigged by the people with power and influence.
Jackson always wanted to be a building contractor,an engineer to be precise,when Jackson was ten years old,he told his mother that he was going to build her a mansion but she laughed it off and now here he is about to make that prophecy come to pass.
It's monday morning, Jackson was so excited and also anxious because this his first time going for a job interview,he got dressed,looked into the mirror and said,I can do this !!!
Chalton construction company is one of the leading company in the country and it going to be a great pleasure for me to work here,he said to him self while heading to the interview office,in the office were ten job applicant,among the job seekers was Jerry,Jackson,s classmate back in high school,back then,Jackson was kind of envious of Jerry coming from a rich and influential family,Jerry always brags about is dad,s wealth and bullied other students that from came from a poor family,including Jackson,as far as Jackson can recall,jerry was one of the dumbest student in class and he has always scale through due to his parent influence,they greeted each other and focus on what they both came there to do.
Thirty minutes later,it was jackson turn to be interviewed,jackson submitted his credentials after a few minutes of the employer flipping through the Jackson credentials,he nodded and said,you have a good qualifications but am afraid we can employ you,this was an unexpected shock for Jackson,After an hour of interviewing everyone,it turns out that jerry was the one who secured the job,jackson was so sad and disappointed.
On getting home,Jackson was so downcast and hated himself for not being born with a silver spoon,few days later,Jackson brace himself and set out for other job interview but all was denial,at this point,Jackson was confused and wondered if he hadn't wasted all this years of schooling,due to the fact that his good grades couldn't get him a job.
A month later,Jackson was introduced to a big conglomerate by his uncle,he imagine him self not securing the job,he was being influenced by all that he had experienced over the past few weeks,windows of opportunities are never closed,his uncle said,this motivated Jackson and he went to company,on getting there,Jackson was so amazed and surprised to that the company was even more advance and reputable then chalton in every way,Jackson credentials was by the employer and he said,Mr Jackson,I think you are the right man for this job,you are hired.

Delay is not denial, if we persist we may get opportunities far better than the ones we lost just like Jackson experienced
Of course,sometimes we just have to be patient and be persistent towards what we want to achieve.
