Today I read this from Mike Tyson, the boxer, the man. He said “You can only be an athlete for a certain part of your life. But you’re gonna be a human for the rest of your life. So you work hard to become a better human.”
This is so true. Sometimes because of power, greed, pride, we often forget the things that really matter in life. You perform a role once in your life and you think that you will always be like that. When you go out and interact with other people, you bring your role in dealing with them. But it doesn’t work that way. Inside the house, you are a mother to your child, a wife to your husband, a daughter, a friend to someone. You perform that differently and you get different responses. You don’t bully your friend into submitting themselves to you if that’s what you do to get the job done at the office or as a manager. You don’t expect to kiss your ass so that they get better evaluations. You stay true to your commitment, you are fair and just and you strive to be kinder and nicer when dealing with them. And you don’t let labels or titles or positions define who you are. Because at the end of the day, you are a person who is accountable only to God above.
