Hidden Figures

In this mayhem of loud voices trying to outdo each other, there are but a few earnest whispers

In the plethora of unessential choices available to us there are but some that have a clear purpose

In this world of ‘flash in the pan’ achievements, there are but few consistent accomplishments

On this crazy ride to achieve one-minute reel glory, there are but few who have real substance

In this age where our digital footprint is more important than the imprint we leave with our hands

In these times when a value is weighed by spoken words and actions of few are just buried deep in sands

In this fast-paced world when you have only a few seconds to create an impression to be swiped right

When time is but a luxury, perceptions are made lazily based on what is available in sight

In these ironic times when what gets done is not as important but what is showcased has might

In an era where the worth of an entity is based on what can be attained in the future more than what has been achieved in the past

In this age of being fake famous many now believe, genuine and nice are qualities for those who finish last

It is high time we value those earnest whispers, actions with a clear purpose, the few who have real substance

The time is ripe to unearth the hidden figures who shy away from the spotlight and do everything so that we can do all our stunts

It is time to dig deep and give credit where it is due as what we need to see is sometimes not out there but closer home

They don’t have a LinkedIn to showcase their achievements or a promotion and a fancy designation to vie for

They do what they are supposed to do, get things done day after day, and moreover, a fat paycheck and recognition are not what they long for.

Even in tough times, without respite, they have kept the home fires burning so you can shine bright

I am sure you know by now who the hidden figures are that truly deserve the spotlight and glowing tributes, on this day, right!

If you agree with what has been shared, it's time we place them on a pedestal and fete

After all, they are the reason you can spend your free time on LinkedIn and on the internet.
