Former president of Frances, once said: "We do not have friends; we have interests." What did he mean? Simply that France's relationships with other country's could only be decided around her interests. This is the underlying common denominator which determines most national relationship and decisions in business and commerce selfishness. It is the spirit of the world.
Selfishness is a very deceitful goalkeeper. It makes you think only of what you will gain from a relationship or transaction. Instead of seeking for win/win relationships, selfishness seeks for win/lose partnerships. It seeks to win at the expense of others.
Remember that the world is a team of over six to seven billion people. If you help one person to succeed, you will also get help along the road to success. That is what teamwork is all about, a human chain that we are all hooked on to. If you want to get it all alone, you will end up with nothing.
Do not get to a point where you want to succeed at any cost and thus trample everyone else under foot in your attempt to get there.
There has to be somebody holding your hand up there in support. If you want to be a managing director, who will you manage if you have nobody around you? Aim at helping somebody to succeed and others will also help you succeed.
I assures you that if you give, it shall be given unto to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will men give toward your success. Keep selfishness away from your life and desire to be a channel of blessing to help others get better and better.
