Availability & Wisdom

27/2/2012

3 Comments

 
AVAILABILITY is defined as "making my own schedule and priorities secondary to the wishes of those I serve". "The measure of a man is not in the number of his servants but in the number of people whom he serves." (Paul Moody). The interesting thing about success is this - the one who is ready to lead is the one who was first ready to serve. Here's the principle: As you serve, you are developing the right state of character so that when the riches and blessings come, you will not be proud and conceited. Makes sense?

WISDOM is defined as "seeing and responding to life situations from a perspective that transcends my current circumstances." How does one get the big picture of life and learn to respond to challenges (instead of reacting)? It lies in your ability to receive advice and instruction. A middle-eastern proverb says - "Rebuke a wise man and he will be wiser still." How true!

Alertness & Responsibility

Alertness
Definition - "Being aware of what is taking place around me so I can have the right responses". If you desire to be remembered as someone who goes the extra mile, this is one quality you must have!


Responsibility
Definition - "Knowing and doing what is expected of me". Success is not the effort of the "lone ranger" - rather someone who is accountable to others and refuses to play the blame game.

Attentiveness & Initiative

Attentiveness
Definition - "showing the worth of a person or task by giving my undivided concentration." Practicing attentiveness communicates worth to the people we interact with. Modern gadgets can never replace an attentive conversation! 

Initiative
Definition - "recognizing what needs to be done before I am asked to do it." The one quality which makes you stand out in a crowd is initiative. Ironically, it is when you are willing to work beyond your job scope that you become more valuable to the organization. Learn to mind beyond your own business!
