Some call me an Idealist, others a Romantic. yet my philosophy can be summarized into the idea that ‘you be you and I will be me’. We often focus on the external world to tell us what is right or wrong, but never take the time to look inward for our own answers. Answers are important to find and can guide us through our lives, but what is more important than finding the right answers, is asking the right questions. A man once told me a story about enlightenment which changed my view on life,
"A man before enlightenment chops wood and carries water, a man after enlightenment chops wood and carries water."
Its message is simple yet profound, it does not matter what we do in our lives, as long as we know why we are doing it. Never underestimate the power of people, more things can be done with people than with any amount of money. We tend to forget this and invest most of our time in working on objects rather than relationships, best put ‘we major in minor things’. Reflection, the skill of not making the same mistake twice, mishaps happen, it’s a learning process and an important one, the gem however is to learn from them and not to repeat them after the lessons has been learned. A personal goal of mine is to make as many mistakes as possible before I’m 30, so that I have my following years to evolve from those lessons, further more, working to gain knowledge and not money.
The modern ideas of business and the technological innovations of our society seems to have derailed our minds from the one true and timeless fact, business is the business of people, which is the only business that will remain “profitable” and survive any economical crisis, and always leave us with a sense achievement and worth.
