CAREER GROWTH

Genuineness: Today let us address the attitudes that people embrace in their lives and extend them into careers and sometimes turn them into lifestyles. If we take the man in the poem for example, look at the manner in which he talks and present his needs to God. He takes everything for granted and he has no sense at all to understand whom he is dealing with. His self nature makes him think that God operates like a puppet. The man mistakenly assumes that he can tailor both the priest and God to grant him the wishes regardless of how he lives. On many occasions, people portray such images as the one mentioned in the poem. Humanity always wants things on a silver platter. You don't want to engage your effort in something but seriously expect a result to take place. People don't consider the ways of life yet they expect God to just do something for them. Really, can we be genuine with our lives and aspirations? Why don't people play their part first before calling for help? Behaving in this timid and nebulous manner is like leaving your door open at night and expect something to come in and secure your security. What is the reason for being careless and acting as if you're unconscious? The message in the poem is very simple and clear. Don't expect to reap where you didn't sow. Nothing happens on its own. You must initiate your own changes and growth. Proof your worth before asking for recognition. As a purposeful career person, strive to be yourself and always act on genuine intentions. Your career will only grow to the extend of your mentality. Force yourself out of the thinking level of a common person. Ten percent is foolishness. Go out in the wilderness and look for the missing percentage. If you don't do that, you will always be stuck in the past and behave in outrageous manner just like the man in the poem. Save the embarrassment and choose to be genuine and competent to know when to say what and how.
