This week has been a very busy week for me at work a 3 day has seemed longer then the normal week lol. I like keeping busy but these three words have been buzzing in my head all week and what I think about them. Have been learning many lessons so hope you at least read what I have to say as your take may differ!!
Selfishness- I put a status on my facebook last month "selfishness breeds ugliness". I am not sure where I came up with that one lol. However that word is something I have been thinking alot about. We are all capable of being selfish its all in us and anyone who says they aren't selfish look in the mirror next time you say that lol!! Have you ever sat on train or bus and seen someone who may need that seat more then you but you but not got up!! That doesn't make you a bad person lol but it is selfish. In the same way we may expect alot from family or loved ones like an expensive gift. Or giving yourself a bigger portion of the dessert you made but a smaller piece to someone else, the list goes on. However I have realised that people can also be selfish in a work context as well not looking out for the welfare of your colleagues and seeing your own needs ahead of theirs is also selfish. Whatever your interpretation of this word its around us all the time and ultimately everyday.
Judgement - To be judged by a court of law is one thing but to be judged by others is a regular occurrence. We are judged everyday of our lives. Whether this be the clothes we wear, the university we attend or the area we live in. Its something we have to live with. Everyone handles it differently. For me what makes me annoyed about this word is that we sometimes feel its ok to judge someone without knowing all the facts. We also all make judgements about others also. That fact that we make a judgement about someone within the first 5 seconds we meet them is quite sad!! This may depend on the individual I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps this makes me nice but I would rather be that then make a false judgement about someone. I really do believe we can learn something from everyone we meet even if they aren't our cup of tea.
Genuineness - Honesty is something which is very important to me as a person. I believe in order to be honest however you also need to be Genuine with it. I have noticed not just this week but for a long time that so many people pretend to be someone they just aren't. Why can't people be open and honest and show their genuine selves. I have noticed that many people seem to hiding behind a mask that they almost don't want to reveal. What is so bad that they can't be true to themselves and others around them? Its also made me realise I have met many people in my but the number of genuine people I have met and when I say that I mean very genuine and loyal is a number that can be counted on hands!!
