“Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men.” This is what the Bible says in Proverbs 22:29 (New king James Version) concerning men or women who are excellent planners, who produce excellent work, who push through obstacles, who are self-motivated and who show persistent and hardworking effort in doing something. The King James Version uses the word diligence in that chapter. Read it: “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” The word diligence, aptly regarded as a combination of both hard work and patience, equally, perfectly approximates the major character trait of Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, the pacesetting Group Chairman of Odu’a Investment Company Limited (OICL).
