This post is short and (hopefully) sweet – á la Seth Godin. I’ve talked about “values” in the past. This one is about VALUE. Perhaps it’s the ravages of middle age but I am losing my interest in potential. Talk to me about what value you bring NOW. In fact, someone may not have the entry level skills for a retail job, much less the ability to survive TEOTWAWKI (go ahead, look it up!). If you have the desire to be of value to your community, then you are the kind of person I want to be around.
When someone wants to be of value, they are seekers – they have to be curious. Integrity is more important to them than having the opportunity to show their cleverness. They work to be a part of the community. All I know is that when I’m done, and to paraphrase Albert Einstein, I would “rather be a man of value than a man of success.”
