Who is good?

Often we hear ppl saying, “He or she is not like me. He or she shd do as I do.” In the context of workplace, it relates to, say, way of working.

Now, this is the point which starts problems. Everyone thinks that he is right and the others should work exactly as he does. But this is impossible as each individual is different. One employee can be good at one thing and the other may be at other. We can’t expect everyone to be equally good.

Like, everyone can’t be rich. If all r rich than then who will be called poor? The persons towards the bottom of the list! It is a relative term. Same applies to the efficiency of ppl.

Your blogs always tear headlong against the grain! I love the way you seem to pick up controversial topics and allow the readers to draw their own conclusions.

I, for one, agree with the theme of this topic that we should judge ourselves based on our own performances and not mark our rates of progress against a benchmark set by others.

In a company or an organization, different people have different ideas. It is a matter of adjustment and teamwork which raises the quality of workmanship in each and every individual in the confines of the office space. There is but a single avenue for compromise - if thats the way to put things in perspective; and that is to be tolerant to the faults of others.

It is a matter of time, when people realize that finding faults with others is no way to improve or maintain the high standards of oneself. After all, there is always room for improvement.

The analogy of the rich and poor somewhat blurs the discussion. If merely being rich is a symbol of success, then I suppose only the richest individual in the world (e.g., Warran Buffet or Bill Gates, I am not sure; and I am sure neither are those two gentlemen) is the successful one on the face of the planet!
