Ever come across people who would ask you about your salaries before they wave a hello and smile. Some people are obsessed with being on top. Their obsession is of the type, if you can’t defeat everyone else, just kill them all, so there’s no one left for the first position other than you. These people are again clear indicators of low self esteem and materialistic love. There are many people one comes across, who will tell how the profession they chose or the course they did is the best thing to do. Have u ever come across these kind of people.
I have and trust me, there is nothing more annoying than being polite and smiling back to these people, while suppressing a growl and holding your hands away from their cheek. Ask me at such a moment ‘ how to mind your own business’ and I may not reply with words and may use some other means.
A person’s profession is his personal choice and no one is allowed to comment on it and when it comes to salaries, all I will say is ‘Humbleness’ with a little ‘Politeness’ and ‘Decency’ is what is needed. It is good to not have such people in your life and it is even better not to become such a person in your life.
All my growing up years, I have come across various people who lack the quality of humbleness. And I have noted that these people are somehow obsessed with boasting and also hint low self esteem. Otherwise, why do you need to be so loud when making a point that the whole of the room notices you and not just the person you are talking to. Or why do you need to say sentences like, ‘why are you wearing this dress’ or ‘I got a job, pays big bucks, blah blah blah’, when all the other person is doing is playing friends with you.
As I said, minding your own business needs a lot of humbleness, politeness and respect for the other human being. It needs an understanding on your part, that the other person is an individual with his particular set of choices, and he/she is free to follow his choices. You need to understand that you are not always right and playing Miss Know-It All or Mr. Know-It All will take you no-where and will infact take the other people away from you. So, the mantra is “Live and Let Live”.
If you think you are the goddess of fashion or a finance guru, keep it to yourself, because you know what, the world doesn’t care and nobody has the time to listen to you bragging and boasting. Also, you may not always find a humble listener. So, beware of witty comebacks before you open your mouth.
I hope this post will help some people recognize themselves and there places.
