As a father, an adult man, a self-manager, and an educator, I have heard enough of many things. I’ve lost half of my life. I also don’t know how long I will use the rest of my life because life is uncertain.
To be truthful, I work hard and have been an honest soldier to date and will be hereon too. When I work, I work continuously without expectation of any rewards from my managers, colleagues, family, relatives, students, and society. Working without expectation in the fulfilment of responsibility and for the larger interest is my aspiration.
But the society we are living in is becoming cruel day-by-day at this degenerate time. There are ups and downs in the world we live in. In the society we live in, it has become an art form to judge someone’s potential and character. Some people only watch what other people do. By watching and observing it, they just report to someone else. This kind of person is very dangerous. Because s/he is just looking for the opportunity to snatch someone’s opportunity, just by pretending to work together as colleagues or being so close.
Sometimes, I observe that groupism is common in the society we live in. My concept of groupism means that being together always tends to think and act as members of a group. If groupism happens in the workplace, it is a virus. A virus that does not have any medicine to cure it. It will disrupt the long-term goals and mission of the workplace. That’s why I decided not to be in a group. A group of people who are always working together is fine, but playing together on occasion is okay, and gossiping together is always a problem. Being in the wrong group, their conversation will be discussing and contributing to workplace disruption instead of promoting a harmonious society. When a bad environment guides one’s mental attitude and thoughts, it poses a greater risk to society and the environment in which we live.
To keep myself aloof from anything that disturbs the continuity of happiness and prosperity, I shall never be alone. But will be in a group that would contribute to shouldering responsibility and create a conducive environment for everyone to co-exist.
