If you're enjoying the spotlight now or in a position of influence, wisdom requires that you steward it well. As eventually life will happen to everyone.
I have seen mean seniors from secondary school regret the manner of their conduct to their juniors when they would meet again at an interview or under make-or-break situations.
I know a few men who had money but squandered it on frivolities and found themselves in the trenches. I have been chanced to meet a few people who wished they had made better use of opportunities while it sat on their lap.
I have encountered some hitherto celebs whom life had now humbled, wish they were more circumspect in how they dealt with people and money.
I know a former employee who interviewed her former boss in Nigeria for a position at the company she worked at in Canada. The man dealt with her years ago, she returned the favor.
Life will happen us all. There is no Kingkong forever. Wealth, network, opportunities, connection, people and family come in time and seasons. Money come, money goes. Opportunities lurk around but not forever. People may be under you for you season, but overtaking is allowed. Time and chance happen to everything.
Reality may fool us into erroneously believing that because we are above some people or places now that it would always remain so. Life tells us it is how you lay your bed that you lie on it.
Life is Good. But better days are a product of how good we make the good times.
Use your 'now' well, and your 'later' will speak for you
