Sacrifice is Cool Guys
What is the reason? We can be representatives to channel the happiness of others. There is something interesting that I read from a blog, there is an illustration that I still remember. Don't be like a candle that gives light to many people, but the longer it is, the more it runs out.
Well, isn't that also a form of sacrifice. Yes, maybe you need to read the book "Giver And Taker", written by Adam Grant. Adam Grant divides 3 people:
The first is the Giver type: That is, the giver likes to sacrifice.
The second is the Taker type: Likes to take from friends.
The third is Macher: Macher is, I give you, if you give me. If you don't give me, sorry, don't expect me to give you.
Now, here I want to ask my respected Steemian friends, which of these 3 groups, giver, Taker, and Macher, whose life is not successful? It turns out that according to research, the one whose life is not successful is Giver, the one who likes to give.
I want to ask again, which of these 3 groups: Giver, Taker, Macher, whose life is the most successful? It turns out that according to this research, Giver again. People who live Taker, only take from their friends, in the language of wise people, transactional. And the Macher person earlier, I give, if you give, if you don't, I don't either. It turns out that his life is mediocre, average.
So the opportunity if you want to be successful, compared to others, is not above average. We need to be Givers, but the risk is that Givers also become people who are below average, Givers who are lacking, whose mentality is like a candle, meaning they are able to light up their surroundings, but they are destroyed. Like to give, but they don't learn, like to give, but they don't increase their own capacity. If what is accommodated is a lot, what we give, is much more.
If I were to say it, it would be noble success. Like in my post yesterday, apply these 4 things if you want to be liked and liked by friends, namely, wealth, Throne, Words, and Love, we must obtain them. Once you have obtained them, don't forget to be noble.
Source of benefits, and life is like breathing. Life should not only be inhaling, but we also need to exhale, and vice versa, not just exhaling. That means we don't want to pursue success, but we want to give many benefits.
This is one point that I think is very...very important to underline for the theme of this discussion. Even though we talk about sacrifice, giving, we really have to give, keep making sacrifices, but don't forget to keep upgrading yourself.
Well, that's what people often forget, in the end giving...giving...giving, in the end it runs out on its own. And he blames himself,
"Oh, I've given, but I still can't be successful".
because he forgets, because of that disease, that disease of giving, because he is used to giving, in the end he feels superior, feels arrogant. In fact, one of the diseases that must be avoided if we want to continue to grow is the disease of denial.
That is rejecting the truth, rejecting knowledge, for example "You don't need to teach me, I worked in this company, before the company was founded".
knowing that you haven't peed straight yet, pretending to teach people", for example like that.
Well, knowledge will not come to those like this. Because wise people often say,
"The nature of knowledge is the same as the nature of water".
He will come to a low place.
"The vast ocean holds a lot of water, because the place is low, we will have a lot of knowledge if we are humble. So, it turns out that if we sacrifice for others, usually convenience will always come".
Well, when convenience comes, we must be sensitive, we must be sensitive to be connected. Then it can come with us being connected to someone, to then be more successful, or we are connected to learn more. We must be sensitive, don't let it be that when convenience comes, we don't catch it, so that what happens is that we as Givers, but do not develop.
What we need to pay attention to is, there is always goodness that comes back to us, when we sacrifice. Well when goodness comes back to us, catch it, learn, develop ourselves, so that we will progress in the end. So sacrificing is indeed cool, the benefits. But we shouldn't sacrifice just to be cool, that's not allowed. Well, but what often happens, maybe they are not arrogant, not cool. But, often people who have sacrificed, continue to bring up again, "I have sacrificed before". Well, bringing up again what he has sacrificed.
Well, if the situation is like this, for me, for example the company where I work makes sacrifices, the philosophy is like us shooting an arrow. If you have shot an arrow, never expect what we shoot to come back. Because if the arrow comes back, we die, right? So if you have sacrificed, that's it, our mentality is Give, to Give.....to Give....to Give, just be sincere, based on love, based on willingness. No need to bring it up, if in terms of goodness my philosophy is,
"Not later....later...later, but enter...enter...enter, do it immediately...do it immediately. Don't wait...later...later, it might not happen".
So, don't delay, don't wait, maybe it won't happen later. Starting now, do what we can, sacrifice what we love.
So, don't make dispraise as a reason to stop spreading kindness.
That's my post today, I apologize if there are words that may be less pleasing to the heart. I hope that there are benefits obtained, thank you for those of you who have read this simple post.
Greetings always compact.
