What do you intend to do with your life?
The answer to this determines whether this publication will be of any use to you or not.
You are in charge of your life. What do you plan to do with it?
Some of you might be “driven” by passion to be “successful”.
If so, what do you consider as success?
Do you imagine success to be making a lot of money? Power? Fame?
If the purpose of your life is to focus on yourself and/or your family, then there’s not that much that can be done. We will go ahead and state that that’s the reason why the world is already unfair. Most people are focused on themselves alone. If nobody is working on making the world fairer, how will the world become fairer?
If you do wish the world to be fairer, you’ve got to make it the purpose of your life. It requires you to learn and grow and do things that are far beyond what’s ordinarily required for a self-focused purpose.
| Skills for self-focused individuals | Skills for world-focused individuals |
| Knowledge of capitalism | Knowledge of capitalism and every other -ism (socialism, anarchism, feminism, etc) |
| Management | Management, but also collaboration, empathy, love, caring, and solidarity |
| Finance | Finance, but also sustainability, fund-raising, economics, ethics |
| Getting one or few people ahead | Getting a whole population ahead |
| History, social science, politics | |
| Science and politics of knowledge | |
| Psychology and human behaviour | |
| Grit | Grit, but also hope, determination, grief |
This table is only indicative and there could be overlapping skills that are needed for both kinds of life. But by the nature of how big the problem is, those who make the life’s mission to work for the world to be fairer have to solve problems that are far too big and far too complicated. And this requires a commitment to a higher level of learning and growth.
