Dear Reader,
As my age is becoming 35 years old and I have so far survived 10 months of 2020, I’m reassessing how I deal with my self, my closed ones and my surrounding/work, and I came up with a list of values that will guide my conduct, so here is the list as follows:
- Never disrespect those who have once believed in you
- Always forgive but never forget
- Listen and lead people to your thoughts, never point out solutions or deal in cheap wins
- Never settle for less than what you think you deserve
- Question the status quo but never lead the revolution
- You have to trust yourself, especially when all are blaming you
- If you’re winning or losing, don’t forget that everything can get flipped in one toss of a coin, what you control is you and how you move forward
- The Deal is never done, even after its signed, building castles in the sky is fun but it doesn’t get you moving forward
- Most of the times, Being clear in what you need is the only way for you to get it
- You don’t hold anyone accountable, you must deal with the uncertainty and make certain decisions
- Always question what you know
- If people got messed up in your mess, clean their names and take responsibility
- Be strong enough to find a stable ground elsewhere if moving forward is no longer possible
- Avoid weak willed people, they are a sad story for you
- You owe everyone a happy face, especially in dark times
- Reckon that doing something meaningful is always a war, and “only the dead have seen the end of war”
- Never shift blame, but always shift responsibility when you can’t solve an issue from your end
“If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you ,Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!” ~ Kippling
Sincerely,
Subhi
