Before you become a great professional, be a good human being
You may be a very intelligent, capable person, ready to eat the world. You have probably studied a lot to make yourself and today you are an incredibly stable man or you are on your way to becoming one. Maybe everyone who approaches you comes to you for advice, maybe you are an enterprising, studious and hard-working man, or maybe you have just come out of college and are going to start your professional life with the greatest of will. Whatever your case is, it is important to remember that if you are not a good human being, nothing you do will have any value in your life.
Be a good human being before being a good worker
The world is full of talented people, people capable of giving 100% in the face of any work adversity. There are millions of creative, imaginative, intelligent individuals who master all kinds of areas and create things so fabulous that they are widely recognized for it. Likewise, there are people who are preparing to go out into the world to work and conquer new goals. But surely none of this makes sense if these people’s lives are empty, materialistic, and selfish.
Generally, when a person enters the field of work he or she is integrated into a competitive world, where many times he or she has to step on others who are below him or her in order to climb up the ladder and reach new goals. Those who do this only think about themselves, their own interests and forget that we are in a world where if we act badly with others, others will act badly with us.
That is why it is so important that you understand that humanity is something that cannot cease to exist in our lives. If you are strong, wise, intelligent and tenacious it is great, but these abilities that very possibly took you a long time to cultivate you have them so that you help those who are below you and not to benefit from them for your further advancement.
You must know that at some point the world can put you in the hands of people that one day you saw on the ground and did not help to put up and that is when you will be afraid that they will do with you what you did with them.
And even if this never happens to you, nothing guarantees that it will never happen to one of your own. No matter what kind of faith you have or what you believe in, this world and this universe will always be bigger and more powerful than you, and it is your humanity that will allow you to have a fully paid ticket to fulfillment. So it’s time to start evaluating your life, work on you, analyze what you have done wrong, ask for forgiveness, forgive yourself, give thanks for what you have and what you have to share not only with those around you and you love but also with the rest of the world.
Cultivate your humanity more and you will achieve a much greater joy, a peace that cannot be replaced with all the money in the world.
