The first born baby
'the higher you climb, the harder you fall, this does not apply to our unit' my ex platoon sergeant used to tell us that. you sense truth in that. in fact the higher you climb, the easier you fall. why? simply because of the responsibility. the question of whether or not you can handle the responsibilty because it simply becomes heavier the higher you go and hence it will pull you all the way back to earth if you are not careful.
in fact, the common idea is that the higher you get, the less you do. i do not deny that. but the higher is your responsibility. you think you can handle it? if you ask me, i;ll rather do more manual work than more responsibility. responsibility is not something which you can take with mere determination, fighting spirit or what. it definitely takes more than that to handle responsibility. it takes a person character of integrity, maturity and of course, a huge immense sense of responsibility. thats the difference with people who are reposed with special trust. in fact, it is a huge burden which someone has to undertake. hence thats why not all are given this special trust. some are really not suitable to handle power.
power is not given to be abused, rather it is to help you to deal with your work. given authority to carry out your task without fear or favour. some people fall in love with the power, hence do not understand the true meaning of its usage. instead they see power as a means to enjoy life and get special privilages. yes, people with power do have special privilages, but in return, have actually given up other things which is actually in the long run, something better than the privilages he would get.
yes, again people would say that one would be higher paid if one holds a high position. but the salary given would justify the amount of responsibility. in fact, this is the loophole of the situation. the money earned would pressure you to undertake your appointment properly and professionally. how other way would you justify the amount of salary the organisation is paying you?
ultimately, the higher your appointment, the heavier is your responsibility. who takes on the heavy responsibility is not anyone but a person of character. and among the people of character, not all is suitable to undertake. yes, it is that picky. for those who have chosen to undertake the responsibility, the question is 'are you ready?' even i have got a problem answering that question. that is the life of a working adult in this society.
'with great power, comes great responsibility'
what do think?
