I am often the consumer of information, I get to see and hear every day and the customer of products I buy online or from a physical shop. But what happens when the world starts consuming me and how?
Let’s think about this briefly by considering a few relatable factors.
- Ideas
You share your ideas with anyone in this world, be that your best friend or a trustworthy colleague, how do you feel about it if they try to convert your ideas into business and claim that they are the founders of that particular idea?
It would be better if you could keep your ideas safe, inside your brain, and share only with that person, with whom you are going to share the profit of the business, as well. That person will bear half the hard work, half the pain, and half the effort along with you, hence he deserves to have half the ‘fruit of your success as well.
- Trust
The trust we have in someone is often destroyed these days. It’s easy to hurt people, not even knowing what they are going through, by breaking the trust they have in each other.
For any business to reach it's optimum, the foundation should be to have an unbreakable, trustworthy relationship. Your trust is being consumed these days offering you fake jobs, money, and fame, which we easily fall for in this competitive world. Stay away from toxic people to save yourself from those panic attacks.
- Honesty
I have been a victim of this, I don’t think at all, if am ready to live here, yet. My honesty while mingling with people has often become a villain to me. I think everyone in this world is different and should not be measured with the same apparatus. Sometimes I choose to act rather than to live, just because my honesty gets easily been consumed. I try not to explain harder about what I meant, or try not to please anyone for that matter because today’s world is all about businesses and not companionship.
- Ignorance
I am an average introvert, who never became a teacher’s pet or a college queen, or a full-time nerd. My ignorance has been consumed because I was not ready to learn or to know. I was happy and complete the way I used to be.
I started feeling embarrassed for not knowing what others talk about. I have been isolated for my ignorance. Then I started learning, tried to know what others do, asked them for helping me, and acquired the courage to feel good, even when am hurt by something or someone. I am certain that if you isolate me for my ignorance, I sure am going to learn, if not today, very soon.
- Politeness
If I am being polite to someone, it means it’s inscribed in my blood. No matter what the situation is, the first thing I will try will be to deal with the situation politely. Being polite is undervalued these days because people often become so judgmental nowadays, and the ones with attitude get more consideration and respect.
Most of the time, our politeness is being misunderstood. Someone with a lifted chin and raised eyebrows are meant to lead the team than a friendly and polite one. Our politeness is often taken for granted as well. The sad part is “we sing what we learned”, hence it’s hard to wear an ‘attitude wolf’s clothing’ while you really are a ‘sheep’ inside.
