DREAM-BUILDERS

Allow NO ONE to belittle you 
for the position or field you have 
either chosen or landed – 
whether it be temporal or permanent,  
whether it be a job or a career – 
to you.  

If it’s legal – 
regardless of what it is you DO –
It is most definitely HONEST living.
There’s NO shame whatsoever, 
Only MODESTY and DIGNITY 
in TRUTH and HONESTY!

Hence, give NO regards to those that underestimate you
For whatever it is you DO for a living in your occupational field.
Let NO ONE speak ILL of you for doing NOTHING else for NO ONE!
If you have EVER been EMPLOYED, you are SELFLESS – not SELFSH –
By having worked for someone, you’ve invested in THEIR dream, contributing to THEIR success and constructing toward THEIR achievements – NOT YOURS – one brick at a time – even LONG AFTER you’ve already been honorably resigned or abruptly terminated! 

For the term you’ve served or filled – however LONG or however SHORT –
You’ve occupied “the vacancy” and fulfilled whatever “the need” 
you DO or DID…every day you reported for work in exchange for a 
 “stipend net change” of the business founder’s “gross pay dollar…”
YOU, SELFLESS DREAM-BUILDER, YOU….?•
