W.I.N. Wednesday: Some Wisdom From Confucius
Some words of wisdom from Confucius to reflect on this week.
“Worry not who knows of you. Seek to be worth knowing.”
“The Master said, He does not mind not being in office; all he minds about is whether he has qualities that entitle him to office. He does not mind failing to get recognition; he is too busy doing the things that entitle him to recognition.”
Are you worried about titles, or focused on doing important work?
Are you focused on recognition, rewards and accolades or on living a life of significance?
Are you worried about who knows of you, or are you focused on learning, growing and working so you are worth knowing?
Are you more interested in who gets the credit, or are you focused on doing the work and making a difference?
Are you always trying to be in the sunlight and spotlight, or do you get out of the way and let the light shine on others?
Are you focused on reaping the harvest, or focused on planting, nourishing and tending to the seeds?
When you screw up do you immediately make excuses and point the finger of blame at others, or do you stand up and own up?
Are you willing to take the blame and give away the credit?
What’s Important Now? Life is full of choices. Choose well. Choose to learn, do the work, grow yourself and other, take the blame and give away the credit, and seek to be worth knowing.
Take care.
