Abstract
Having been given new areas of work, many a people do have a lot of new ideas which they would like
to have executed. Once such ideas are met with a
cold response, many give up.
It is always interesting seeing someone assuming
his/her new responsibility in an office or establishment. He/she in most cases, has many ideas, to
change the place and make it look even better than
before. The person will try to execute most of the
new plans just to make sure that goals are achieved.

A newly ordained priest, for instance, will try t '
commit himself fully to his first appointment. Working hard with the people to whom he has been sent to
serve.
Pastorally, he will have his day timetabled. He
will have his morning prayers and the celebration of
the Eucharist. He will visit the sick, prisoners, and
people in their respective homes and do some parish
work in the office as per schedule. In his homilies,
he will sound holy using many Theological jargons
while expecting to change people in a day or two.
He will as well, try to see to it that the Par
ish/house compound is clean, the flowers are carefully arranged and well maintained, books are well
and intelligently arranged on the shelves (if any), just
to mention but a few.
Once things and all the expectations he had are watered down and people seem to care Jess, when things
don't turn up as planned, when he does not seem to
see the fruits of his labor, he gets discouraged and he
easily thinks of something else.
It is at such a juncture that the hard core which was
in him, which made him think that he would have
great success in life, that he could beat the best, un
willingly and suddenly turns "soft". Should such a
priest quit?
This is but a little challenge in life. It is not always
a few faint wishes, but a life-long struggle that makes
us valiant. Such is life. It is always a challenge -
meet it.
