“My philosophy is that doing your best at this
time puts you in the best place for the next moment” Oprah Winfrey.
Many times in life we find ourselves in
positions where we are faced with the option of choosing to do our best or not.
Most often if the situation is not to our advantage the obvious choice would be
a No. Why? nfuniramuwa?( How do I benefit from this?). Yes indeed how do you? Because
at the end of it all we have to find a way to survive so why not look out for
one self?
But one should also ask if this attitude to
life is right. This world of ours is so unpredictable that many times things do
not happen as we had thought or planned. So is it really wise to look out for
your own personal interests in every situation?
There are also those who
take pleasure in taking advantage of other people’s kindness. For those do this
will soon find themselves being tolerated by sympathizers instead of being
admired and respected by loved ones and strangers alike.
“And I will have to say, it is a wonderful thing to have a
beautiful home or homes, a wonderful thing to have a beautiful home which just
escaped the fire in Santa Barbara. And it is really fantastic to have your own
jet and anybody who says it isn't is lying to you. The jet thing is really
good. But you haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help
somebody else move forward.
”
As Oprah Winfrey the
world’s only Black billionaire can testify, by helping others you actually help
yourself. Survival for the fittest can only achieve anxiety and chaos at the
finish line. Another proverb says You are filled to be emptied again. The
Virtuous always provide solutions, they are not part of the problem and they do
not allow the problem to change who they are.
Be Virtuous!!
